General relativistic spectra of accretion disks around rotating neutron stars

S. Bhattacharyya, R. Misra, A. V. Thampan

General relativistic spectra from accretion disks around rotating neutron stars in the appropriate space-time geometry for several different equation of state, spin rates and mass…

Hydrodynamical winds from two-temperature plasma in X-ray binaries

David J. Lin, R. Misra, Ronald E. Taam

Hydrodynamical winds from a spherical two-temperature plasma surrounding a compact object are constructed. The mass-loss rate is computed as a function of electron temperature, opt…

The Structure of the Cold Neutral ISM on 10-100 Astronomical Unit Scales

M. D. Faison, W. M. Goss

We have used the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) and the Very Large Array (VLA) to image Galactic neutral hydrogen in absorption towards four compact extragalactic radio sources wi…

Population synthesis of neutron stars, strange (quark) stars and black holes

Krzysztof Belczynski, Tomasz Bulik, Wlodzimierz Kluzniak

We compute and present the distribution in mass of single and binary neutron stars, strange stars, and black holes. The calculations were performed using a stellar population synth…

Circumbinary disks and cataclysmic variable evolution

H. C. Spruit, Ronald E. Taam

The influence of a circumbinary (CB) disk on the evolution of cataclysmic variable (CV) binary systems is investigated. We show that CB mass surface densities sufficient to influen…

The Bright SHARC Survey: The Selection Function and its Impact on the Cluster X-ray Luminosity Function

C. Adami, M. P. Ulmer, A. K. Romer +3

We present the results of a set of simulations designed to quantify the selection function of the Bright SHARC survey for distant clusters. The statistical significance of the simu…

Uncertainties on Clusters of Galaxies Distances

C. Adami, M. Ulmer

We investigate in this paper the error on the cluster redshift estimate as a function of: (1) the number of galaxy structures along the line of sight; (2) the morphology of the clu…

On a Theoretical Interpretation of the Period Gap in Binary Millisecond Pulsars

Ronald E. Taam, Andrew R. King, Hans Ritter

We reexamine evolutionary channels for the formation of binary millisecond pulsars in order to understand their observed orbital period distribution. The available paths provide a…

CFHT Optical PDCS Survey II: Evolution in the Space Density of Clusters of Galaxies

B. P. Holden, C. Adami, R. C. Nichol +6

We present the first dynamical study of the optically selected Palomar Distant Cluster Survey (PDCS). We show that eleven out of twelve PDCS clusters we observed are real over-dens…

Temperature Profiles of Accretion Disks around Rapidly Rotating Neutron Stars in General Relativity and Implications for Cygnus X-2

S. Bhattacharyya, A. V. Thampan, R. Misra +1

We calculate the temperature profiles of (thin) accretion disks around rapidly rotating neutron stars (with low surface magnetic fields), taking into account the full effects of ge…

Radio continuum emission from the central stars of M20 and the detection of a new supernova remnant near M20

F. Yusef-Zadeh, Mark Shure, Mark Wardle +1

The Trifid nebula (M20) is a well-known prominent optical HII region trisected by obscuring dust lanes. Radio continuum VLA observations of this Nebula show free-free emission at l…

The Galactic Center: An Interacting System of Unusual Sources

F. Yusef-Zade, F. Melia, M. Wardle

The region bounded by the inner tens of light years at the center of the Milky Way contains five principal components that coexist within the central deep gravitational potential w…
