The Coronal Loop Inventory Project: Expanded Analysis and Results

J. T. Schmelz, G. M. Christian, R. A. Chastain

We have expanded upon earlier work that investigates the relative importance of coronal loops with isothermal multithermal cross-field temperature distributions. These res…

A Multi-telescope Campaign on FRB 121102: Implications for the FRB Population

C. J. Law, M. W. Abruzzo, C. G. Bassa +33

We present results of the coordinated observing campaign that made the first subarcsecond localization of a Fast Radio Burst, FRB 121102. During this campaign, we made the first si…

The Equilibrium Temperature of Planets in Elliptical Orbits

Abel Méndez, Edgard G. Rivera-Valentín

There exists a positive correlation between orbital eccentricity and the average stellar flux that planets receive from their parent star. Often, though, it is assumed that the ave…

The Repeating Fast Radio Burst FRB 121102 as Seen on Milliarcsecond Angular Scales

B. Marcote, Z. Paragi, J. W. T. Hessels +26

The millisecond-duration radio flashes known as Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) represent an enigmatic astrophysical phenomenon. Recently, the sub-arcsecond localization (~ 100mas precisi…
