EXIST's Gamma-Ray Burst Sensitivity
D. L. Band, J. E. Grindlay, J. Hong +7
We use semi-analytic techniques to evaluate the burst sensitivity of designs for the EXIST hard X-ray survey mission. Applying these techniques to the mission design proposed for t…
Post-Outburst Observations of V1647 Ori: Detection of a Brief Warm, Molecular Outflow
Sean Brittain, Terrence Rettig, Theodore Simon +4
We present new observations of the fundamental ro-vibrational CO spectrum of V1647 Ori, the young star whose recent outburst illuminated McNeil's Nebula. Previous spectra, acquired…
A Magnetohydrodynamic Boost for Relativistic Jets
Yosuke Mizuno, Philip Hardee, Dieter H. Hartmann +2
We performed relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the hydrodynamic boosting mechanism for relativistic jets explored by Aloy & Rezzolla (2006) using the RAISHIN code. Si…
r-Process Nucleosynthesis in Shocked Surface Layers of O-Ne-Mg Cores
H. Ning, Y. -Z. Qian, B. S. Meyer
We demonstrate that rapid expansion of the shocked surface layers of an O-Ne-Mg core following its collapse can result in r-process nucleosynthesis. As the supernova shock accelera…
Warm HCN, C2H2, and CO in the disk of GV Tau
E. L. Gibb, K. A. Van Brunt, S. D. Brittain +1
We present the first high-resolution, ground-based observations of HCN and C2H2 toward the T Tauri binary star system GV Tau. We detected strong absorption due to HCN nu_3 and weak…
Infrared High-Resolution Spectroscopy of Post-AGB Circumstellar Disks. I. HR 4049 - The Winnowing Flow Observed?
Kenneth H. Hinkle, Sean D. Brittain, David L. Lambert
High-resolution infrared spectroscopy in the 2.3-4.6 micron region is reported for the peculiar A supergiant, single-lined spectroscopic binary HR 4049. Lines from the CO fundament…
