Probing the environment in Gamma-ray bursts: the case of an X-ray precursor, afterglow late onset and wind vs constant density profile in GRB011121 and GRB011211
L. Piro, M. De Pasquale, P. Soffitta +9
In this paper we present BeppoSax and XMM observations of two long Gamma-ray bursts, the X-ray rich event of December 11, 2001 (GRB011211) and the hard and very bright event of Nov…
White dwarfs with jets as non-relativistic analogues of quasars and microquasars?
R. Zamanov, M. F. Bode, P. Marziani +5
We explore the similarities between accreting white dwarfs (CH Cyg and MWC 560) and the much more energetic jet sources - quasars and microquasars. To-date we have identified sever…
Rapid GRB Follow-up with the 2-m Robotic Liverpool Telescope
A. Gomboc, M. F. Bode, D. Carter +7
We present the capabilities of the 2-m robotic Liverpool Telescope (LT), owned and operated by Liverpool John Moores University and situated at ORM, La Palma. Robotic control and s…
Carbon Monoxide in low-mass dwarf stars
Hugh R. A. Jones, Yakiv Pavlenko, Serena Viti +4
We compare high resolution infrared observations of the CO 3-1 bands in the 2.297-2.310 micron region of M dwarfs and one L dwarf with theoretical expectations. We find a good matc…
Transforming observational data and theoretical isochrones into the ACS/WFC Vega-mag system
Luigi R. Bedin, Santi Cassisi, Fiorella Castelli +6
We propose a zero-point photometric calibration of the data from the ACS/WFC on board the Hubble Space Telescope, based on a spectrum of Vega and the most up to date in-flight tran…
The prospects for finding brown dwarfs in eclipsing binary systems and measuring brown dwarf properties
D. J. Pinfield, H. R. A. Jones, I. A. Steele
We present the results of a simulation to investigate the prospects of measuring mass, age, radius, metallicity and luminosity data for brown dwarfs in fully eclipsing binary syste…
