The Impact of Radio AGN Bubble Composition on the Dynamics and Thermal Balance of the Intracluster Medium

H. -Y. K. Yang, M. Gaspari, C. Marlow

Feeding and feedback of active galactic nuclei (AGN) are critical for understanding the dynamics and thermodynamics of the intracluster medium (ICM) within the cores of galaxy clus…

Probability models of chance fluctuations in spectra of astronomical sources with applications to X-ray absorption lines

Massimiliano Bonamente

The search for faint emission or absorption lines in astronomical spectra has received considerable attention in recent years, especially in the X-ray wavelength range. These featu…

Fermi GBM Observations of GRB 150101B: A Second Nearby Event with a Short Hard Spike and a Soft Tail

E. Burns, P. Veres, V. Connaughton +19

In light of the joint multimessenger detection of a binary neutron star merger as the gamma-ray burst GRB 170817A and in gravitational waves as GW170817, we reanalyze the Fermi Gam…

Light curves of a shock-breakout material and a relativistic off-axis jet from a Binary Neutron Star system

N. Fraija, A. C. Caligula do E. S. Pedreira, P. Veres

Binary neutron star mergers are believed to eject significant masses with a diverse range of velocities. Once these ejected materials begin to be decelerated by a homogeneous mediu…

On the interpretation of the Fermi GBM transient observed in coincidence with LIGO Gravitational Wave Event GW150914

V. Connaughton, E. Burns, A. Goldstein +25

The weak transient detected by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) 0.4 s after GW150914 has generated much speculation regarding its possible association with the black-hole bi…
