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…

Discovery of circularly polarised radio emission from SS 433

Robert Fender, David Rayner, Ray Norris +2

We report the discovery of circularly polarised radio emission from the radio-jet X-ray binary SS 433 with the Australia Telescope Compact Array. The flux density spectrum of the c…

RXTE Observations of the Vela Pulsar: The X-ray-Optical Connection

Alice K Harding, Mark S. Strickman, Carl Gwinn +2

We report on our analysis of a 300 ks observation of the Vela pulsar with the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). The double-peaked, pulsed emission at 2 - 30 keV, which we had pre…

X-ray Beaming in the High Magnetic Field Pulsar GX 1+4

D. K. Galloway, K. Wu

Pulse profiles from X-ray pulsars often exhibit strong energy dependence and both periodic and aperiodic variations with time. The great variety of profiles observed in various sou…

The optical counterpart of SAX J1808.4-3658, the transient bursting millisecond X-ray pulsar

A. B. Giles, K. M. Hill, J. G. Greenhill

A set of CCD images have been obtained during the decline of the X-ray transient SAX J1808.4-3658 during April-June 1998. The optical counterpart has been confirmed by several piec…

The PLANET microlensing follow-up network: Results and prospects for the detection of extra-solar planets

M. Dominik, M. D. Albrow, J. -P. Beaulieu +19

Among various techniques to search for extra-solar planets, microlensing has some unique characteristics. Contrary to all other methods which favour nearby objects, microlensing is…
