Physics of Neutron Star Kicks
Dong Lai
It is no longer necessary to `sell' the idea of pulsar kicks, the notion that neutron stars receive a large velocity (a few hundred to a thousand km s) at birth. However, th…
A VLA Search for the Geminga Pulsar: A Bayesian Limit on a Scintillating Source
M. A. McLaughlin, J. M. Cordes, T. H. Hankins +1
We derive an upper limit of 3 mJy (95% confidence) for the flux density at 317 MHz of the Geminga pulsar (J0633+1746). Our results are based on 7 hours of fast-sampled VLA data, wh…
A Search for OH Megamasers at z > 0.1: Preliminary Results
J. Darling, R. Giovanelli
We report the discovery of 11 OH megamasers and one OH absorber, along with upper limits on the OH luminosity of 53 other luminous infrared galaxies at z > 0.1. The new megamasers…
Extragalactic Spectroscopy with SIRTF/IRS
B. Brandl, V. Charmandaris, K. Uchida +1
The Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) is one of the three instruments on board the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) to be launched in December 2001. The IRS will provide high re…
Smoke in the "Smoke Rings": ISO Observations of Dust in Collisional Ring Galaxies
P. N. Appleton, V. Charmandaris, C. Horellou +2
Collisional ring galaxies probably result from a head-on collision between a compact companion galaxy and a gas-rich disk system. We present a review of the discovery of warm dust…
The Gamma Ray Pulsar Population
M. A. McLaughlin, J. M. Cordes
We apply a likelihood analysis to pulsar detections, pulsar upper limits, and diffuse background measurements from the OSSE and EGRET instruments on the Compton Gamma Ray Observato…
R-Mode Oscillations and Spindown of Young Rotating Magnetic Neutron Stars
Wynn C. G. Ho, Dong Lai
Recent work has shown that a young, rapidly rotating neutron star loses angular momentum to gravitational waves generated by unstable r-mode oscillations. We study the spin evoluti…
Evolution of Neutron-Star, Carbon-Oxygen White-Dwarf Binaries
G. E. Brown, C. -H. Lee, S. F. Portegies Zwart +1
At least one, but more likely two or more, eccentric neutron-star, carbon-oxygen white-dwarf binaries with an unrecycled pulsar have been observed. According to the standard scenar…
Mid-Infrared Spectra of Be Stars
S. A. Rinehart, J. R. Houck, J. D. Smith
We present the first medium-resolution () mid-infrared (8-13.3\micron) spectra of 11 Be stars. A large number of lines are observed and identified in these spectra, incl…
ISO Mid-Infrared Spectra of Reflection Nebulae
K. I. Uchida, K. Sellgren, M. W. Werner +1
We present 5-15 micron imaging spectroscopy of the reflection nebulae vdB 17 (NGC 1333), vdB 59 (NGC 2068), vdB 101, vdB 111, vdB 133 and vdB 135, obtained with the infrared camera…
Evolution of Black Holes in the Galaxy
G. E. Brown, C. -H. Lee, R. A. M. J. Wijers +1
In this article we consider the formation and evolution of black holes, especially those in binary stars where radiation from the matter falling on them can be seen. We consider a…
HST/WFPC2 and VLT/ISAAC observations of PROPLYDS in the giant HII region NGC 3603
W. Brandner, E. K. Grebel, Y. -H. Chu +6
We report the discovery of three proplyd-like structures in the giant HII region NGC 3603. The emission nebulae are clearly resolved in narrow-band and broad-band HST/WFPC2 observa…
Hypercritical Advection Dominated Accretion Flow
G. E. Brown, C. -H. Lee, H. A. Bethe
In this note we study the accretion disc that arises in hypercritical accretion of onto a neutron star while it is in common envelope evolution with a…
The Convergence Depth of the Local Peculiar Velocity Field
Daniel A. Dale, Riccardo Giovanelli
We have obtained Tully-Fisher (TF) measurements for some 3000 late-type galaxies in the field and in 76 clusters distributed throughout the sky between 10 and 200\h Mpc. The cluste…
TeV Cherenkov Events as Bose-Einstein Gamma Condensations
M. Harwit, R. J. Protheroe, P. L. Biermann
The recent detection of gamma radiation from Mkn 501 at energies as high as 25 TeV suggests stringent upper bounds on the diffuse, far infrared, extragalactic radiation density. Th…
Correlation Analysis of SFI Peculiar Velocities
S. Borgani, L. N. da Costa, I. Zehavi +5
We present results of a statistical analysis of the SFI catalog of peculiar velocities, a recently completed survey of spiral field galaxies with I-band Tully-Fisher distances (Hay…
HST Measurements of the Expansion of NGC 6543: Parallax Distance and Nebular Evolution
D. S. Reed, B. Balick, A. R. Hajian +5
The optical expansion parallax of NGC 6543 has been detected and measured using two epochs of HST images separated by a time baseline of only three years. We have utilized three se…
Rossby Wave Instability of Thin Accretion Disks -- II. Detailed Linear Theory
H. Li, J. M. Finn, R. V. E. Lovelace +1
In earlier work we identified a global, non-axisymmetric instability associated with the presence of an extreme in the radial profile of the key function ${\cal L}(r) \equiv (ΣΩ/κ^…
The Metagalactic Ionizing Radiation Field at Low Redshift
J. M. Shull, D. Roberts, M. L. Giroux +2
We compute the ionizing radiation field at low redshift, arising from Seyferts, QSOs, and starburst galaxies. This calculation combines recent Seyfert luminosity functions, extrapo…
