FU Orionis: A Binary Star?

Hongchi Wang, Daniel Apai, Thomas Henning +1

By using the ALFA adaptive optics system at the 3.6m telescope of the Calar Alto Observatory we detected a faint red star in the apparent vicinity of FU Ori, the prototype of the F…

Constraining the origin of TeV photons from gamma-ray bursts with delayed MeV-GeV emission formed by interaction with cosmic infrared/microwave background photons

X. Y. Wang, K. S. Cheng, Z. G. Dai +1

It has been suggested that electromagnetic cascade of very high energy gamma-rays from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in the infrared/microwave background can produce delayed MeV-GeV phot…

Can the Bump be Observed in the Early Afterglow of GRBS with X-Ray Line Emission Features?

W. H. Gao, D. M. Wei

Extremely powerful emission lines are observed in the X-ray afterglow of several GRBs. The energy contained in the illuminating continuum which is responsible for the line producti…

Strong GeV Emission Accompanying TeV Blazar H1426+428

Y. Z. Fan, Z. G. Dai, D. M. Wei

For High frequency BL Lac objects (HBLs) like H1426+428, a significant fraction of their TeV gamma-rays emitted are likely to be absorbed in interactions with the diffuse IR backgr…

The Star Formation Rate and Dense Molecular Gas in Galaxies

Yu Gao, Philip M. Solomon

(abridged) HCN luminosity Lhcn is a tracer of DENSE molecular gas, n(H_2) >~ 3x10^4 cm^{-3}, associated with star-forming giant molecular cloud (GMC) cores. We present the results…
