Ground-based calibration and characterization of the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor Detectors
Elisabetta Bissaldi, Andreas von Kienlin, Giselher G. Lichti +18
One of the scientific objectives of NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope is the study of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). The Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) was designed to detect a…
Multiwavelength study of the bright X-ray source population in the interacting galaxies NGC5774/NGC5775
Kajal K. Ghosh, Douglas A. Swartz, Allyn F. Tennant +5
A few nearby interacting galaxies are known that host elevated number of ultraluminous X-ray sources. Here we report the results of a multiwavelength study of the X-ray source popu…
Galaxy clusters discovered with a Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect survey
Z. Staniszewski, P. A. R. Ade, K. A. Aird +41
The South Pole Telescope (SPT) is conducting a Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect survey over large areas of the southern sky, searching for massive galaxy clusters to high redshift. I…
Correlations of Prompt and Afterglow Emission in Swift Long and Short Gamma Ray Bursts
N. Gehrels, S. D. Barthelmy, D. N. Burrows +12
Correlation studies of prompt and afterglow emissions from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) between different spectral bands has been difficult to do in the past because few bursts had comp…
Chandra X-Ray Observatory Observations of the Globular Cluster M71
R. F. Elsner, C. O. Heinke, H. N. Cohn +12
We observed the nearby, low-density globular cluster M71 (NGC 6838) with the Chandra X-ray Observatory to study its faint X-ray populations. Five X-ray sources were found inside th…
An infrared ring around the magnetar SGR 1900+14
S. Wachter, E. Ramirez-Ruiz, V. V. Dwarkadas +4
Magnetars are a special class of slowly rotating neutron stars with extremely strong magnetic fields -- at least an order of magnitude larger than those of the "normal" radio pulsa…
