Early time optical polarization of GRB Afterglows: GRB 060418 and GRB 090102
I. A. Steele, C. G. Mundell, R. J. Smith +2
RINGO on the Liverpool Telescope has now measured the optical polarization of GRB 060418 (where a 2 sigma upper limit of P<8% was determined) and GRB 090102 (when a detection of P…
The RMS Survey: Far-Infrared Photometry of Young Massive Stars
J. C. Mottram, M. G. Hoare, S. L. Lumsden +5
Context: The Red MSX Source (RMS) survey is a multi-wavelength campaign of follow-up observations of a colour-selected sample of candidate massive young stellar objects (MYSOs) in…
The bottom of the white dwarf cooling sequence in the old open cluster NGC 2158
L. R. Bedin, M. Salaris, I. R. King +3
We use 10 orbits of Advanced Camera for Surveys observations to reach the end of the white dwarf cooling sequence in the solar-metallicity open cluster NGC 2158. Our photometry and…
Interpretation of Strong Short-Term Central Perturbations in the Light Curves of Moderate-Magnification Microlensing Events
C. Han, K. -H. Hwang, D. Kim +87
To improve the planet detection efficiency, current planetary microlensing experiments are focused on high-magnification events searching for planetary signals near the peak of len…
[The Impact of Nuclear Star Formation on Gas Inflow to AGN
R. I. Davies, E. Hicks, M. Schartmann +8
Our adaptive optics observations of nearby AGN at spatial resolutions as small as 0.085arcsec show strong evidence for recent, but no longer active, nuclear star formation. We begi…
Hyper Velocity Stars and the Restricted Parabolic 3-body Problem
Re'em Sari, Shiho Kobayashi, Elena M. Rossi
Motivated by detections of hypervelocity stars that may originate from the Galactic Center, we revist the problem of a binary disruption by a passage near a much more massive point…
