Mode splitting of surface plasmon resonances in super-period metal nanohole gratings
Junpeng Guo, Haisheng Leong
We experimentally observed the surface plasmon resonance mode splitting in a super-period metal nanohole grating under the transverse magnetic polarization excitation. The mode spl…
Multiwavelength observations of GRB 110731A: GeV emission from onset to afterglow
LAT Collaboration, GBM Collaboration, Swift Collaboration +2
We report on the multiwavelength observations of the bright, long gamma-ray burst \GRB, by the \Fermi and \Swift observatories, and by the MOA and GROND optical telescopes. The ana…
Has inflation really solved the problems of flatness and absence of relics?
Richard Lieu
Among the three cosmological enigma solved by the theory of inflation, {\it viz.} (a) large scale flatness, (b) absence of monopoles and strings, and (c) structure formation, the f…
Chandra Measurements of a Complete Sample of X-ray Luminous Galaxy Clusters: the Gas Mass Fraction
David Landry, Massimiliano Bonamente, Paul Giles +2
We present Chandra X-ray measurements of the gas mass fraction out to r500 for a complete sample of the 35 most luminous clusters from the Brightest Cluster Sample and the Extended…
Measurements of the Sun's High Latitude Meridional Circulation
Lisa Rightmire-Upton, David H. Hathaway, Katie Kosak
The meridional circulation at high latitudes is crucial to the build-up and reversal of the Sun's polar magnetic fields. Here we characterize the axisymmetric flows by applying a m…
Analytical modeling of pulse-pileup distortion using the true pulse shape; applications to Fermi-GBM
Vandiver Chaplin, Narayana Bhat, Michael Briggs +1
Pulse-pileup affects most photon counting systems and occurs when photon detections occur faster than the detector's registration and recovery time. At high input rates, shaped pul…
The "amplitude" parameter of Gamma-Ray Bursts and its implications for GRB classification
Hou-Jun Lü, Bing Zhang, En-Wei Liang +2
Traditionally gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are classified in the -hardness ratio two-dimensional plane into long/soft and short/hard GRBs. In this paper, we suggest to add the "…
Empirical tight binding parameters for GaAs and MgO with explicit basis through DFT mapping
Yaohua Tan, Michael Povolotskyi, Tillmann Kubis +4
The Empirical Tight Binding(ETB) method is widely used in atomistic device simulations. The reliability of such simulations depends very strongly on the choice of basis sets and th…
Background estimation in a wide-field background-limited instrument such as Fermi GBM
Gerard Fitzpatrick, Sheila McBreen, Valerie Connaughton +2
The supporting instrument on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) is a wide-field gamma-ray monitor composed of 14 individual scintillation…
The Morphologic Properties of Magnetic networks over the Solar Cycle 23
Chong Huang, Yihua Yan, Yin Zhang +2
The morphologic properties of the magnetic networks during Carrington Rotations (CR) 1955 to 2091 (from 1999 to 2010) have been analyzed by applying the watershed algorithm to magn…
Trajectories and Distribution of Interstellar Dust Grains in the Heliosphere
Jonathan D. Slavin, Priscilla C. Frisch, Hans-Reinhard Mueller +4
The solar wind carves a bubble in the surrounding interstellar medium (ISM), known as the heliosphere. Charged interstellar dust grains (ISDG) encountering the heliosphere may be d…
Evidence for a Photospheric Component in the Prompt Emission of the Short GRB120323A and its Effects on the GRB Hardness-Luminosity Relation
S. Guiriec, F. Daigne, R. Hascoët +12
The short GRB 120323A had the highest flux ever detected with the Fermi/GBM. Here we study its remarkable spectral properties and their evolution using two spectral models: (i) a s…
Experimental characterization of railgun-driven supersonic plasma jets motivated by high energy density physics applications
S. C. Hsu, E. C. Merritt, A. L. Moser +11
We report experimental results on the parameters, structure, and evolution of high-Mach-number (M) argon plasma jets formed and launched by a pulsed-power-driven railgun. The nomin…
Radial Angular Momentum Transfer and Magnetic Barrier for Short-Type Gamma-Ray Burst Central Engine Activity
Tong Liu, En-Wei Liang, Wei-Min Gu +5
Soft extended emission (EE) following initial hard spikes up to 100 seconds was observed with {\em Swift}/BAT for about half of short-type gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs). This challenges…
The Fermi-GBM X-ray burst monitor: thermonuclear bursts from 4U 0614+09
M. Linares, V. Connaughton, P. Jenke +12
Thermonuclear bursts from slowly accreting neutron stars (NSs) have proven difficult to detect, yet they are potential probes of the thermal properties of the neutron star interior…
