MiNDSTEp differential photometry of the gravitationally lensed quasars WFI2033-4723 and HE0047-1756: Microlensing and a new time delay
E. Giannini, R. W. Schmidt, J. Wambsganà +52
We present V and R photometry of the gravitationally lensed quasars WFI2033-4723 and HE0047-1756. The data were taken by the MiNDSTEp collaboration with the 1.54 m Danish telescope…
Dissipation of Magnetic Fields in the Galactic Halo
F. Zimmer, H. Lesch, G. T. Birk
This paper shows that magnetic reconnection could be an important heating process in cosmic gases. In any volume where magnetized plasmas collide, the dissipation of magnetic energ…
NB-IoT via LEO satellites: An efficient resource allocation strategy for uplink data transmission
O. Kodheli, N. Maturo, S. Chatzinotas +2
In this paper, we focus on the use of Low-Eart Orbit (LEO) satellites providing the Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) connectivity to the on-ground user equipment (UEs). Conve…
X-ray microlensing in the quadruply lensed quasar Q2237+0305
F. Zimmer, R. W. Schmidt, J. Wambsganss
We use archival data of NASA's Chandra X-ray telescope to compile an X-ray light curve of all four images of the quadruply lensed quasar Q2237+0305 (z=1.695) from January 2006 to J…
OGLE-2009-BLG-092/MOA-2009-BLG-137: A Dramatic Repeating Event With the Second Perturbation Predicted by Real-Time Analysis
Y. -H. Ryu, C. Han, K. -H. Hwang +105
We report the result of the analysis of a dramatic repeating gravitational microlensing event OGLE-2009-BLG-092/MOA-2009-BLG-137, for which the light curve is characterized by two…
High-precision photometry by telescope defocussing. III. The transiting planetary system WASP-2
John Southworth, L. Mancini, S. Calchi Novati +23
We present high-precision photometry of three transits of the extrasolar planetary system WASP-2, obtained by defocussing the telescope, and achieving point-to-point scatters of be…
