The X-ray bursts of XTE J1739-285: a NICER sample

Peter Bult, Diego Altamirano, Zaven Arzoumanian +10

In this work we report on observations with the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer of the known neutron star X-ray transient XTE J1739-285. We observed the source in 2020 F…

Exploring the Dust Content of Galactic Halos with Herschel III. NGC 891

J. H. Yoon, Crystal L. Martin, S. Veilleux +6

We present deep far-infrared observations of the nearby edge-on galaxy NGC 891 obtained with the Herschel Space Observatory and the Spitzer Space Telescope. The maps confirm the de…

Ionized outflows from active galactic nuclei as the essential elements of feedback

Sibasish Laha, Christopher S. Reynolds, James Reeves +5

Outflows from active galactic nuclei (AGN) are one of the fundamental mechanisms by which the central supermassive black hole interacts with its host galaxy. Detected in

The Optical Luminosity-Time Correlation for More Than 100 Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows

M. G. Dainotti, S. Livermore, D. A. Kann +7

Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are fascinating events due to their panchromatic nature. Their afterglow emission is observed from sub-TeV energies to radio wavelengths. We investigate GRB…

From core collapse to superluminous: The rates of massive stellar explosions from the Palomar Transient Factory

C. Frohmaier, C. R. Angus, M. Vincenzi +8

We present measurements of the local core collapse supernova (SN) rate using SN discoveries from the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF). We use a Monte Carlo simulation of hundreds of…
