High Albedos of Low Inclination Classical Kuiper Belt Objects
M. J. Brucker, W. M. Grundy, J. A. Stansberry +4
We present observations of thermal emission from fifteen transneptunian objects (TNOs) made using the Spitzer Space Telescope. Thirteen of the targets are members of the Classical…
High Accuracy Near-infrared Imaging Polarimetry with NICMOS
D. Batcheldor, G. Schneider, D. C. Hines +5
The findings of a nine orbit calibration plan carried out during HST Cycle 15, to fully determine the NICMOS camera 2 (2.0 micron) polarization calibration to high accuracy, are re…
Constraints on Dark Energy from the Observed Expansion of our Cosmic Horizon
Fulvio Melia
Within the context of standard cosmology, an accelerating universe requires the presence of a third `dark' component of energy, beyond matter and radiation. The available data, how…
Time evolution of Wouthuysen-Field coupling
I. Roy, W. Xu, J. -M. Qiu +2
We study the Wouthuysen-Field coupling at early universe with numerical solutions of the integrodifferential equation describing the kinetics of photons undergoing resonant scatter…
Shattering and coagulation of dust grains in interstellar turbulence
Hiroyuki Hirashita, Huirong Yan
We investigate shattering and coagulation of dust grains in turbulent interstellar medium (ISM). The typical velocity of dust grain as a function of grain size has been calculated…
Determination of the minimum masses of heavy elements in the envelopes of Jupiter and Saturn
Olivier Mousis, Ulysse Marboeuf, Jonathan I. Lunine +5
We calculate the minimum mass of heavy elements required in the envelopes of Jupiter and Saturn to match the observed oversolar abundances of volatiles. Because the clathration eff…
A spatially resolved study of photoelectric heating and [CII] cooling in the LMC
D. Rubin, S. Hony, S. C. Madden +20
(abridged) We study photoelectric heating throughout the Large Magellanic Cloud. We quantify the importance of the [CII] cooling line and the photoelectric heating process of vario…
Infrared Emission by Dust Around lambda Bootis Stars: Debris Disks or Thermally Emitting Nebulae?
J. R. Martínez-Galarza, I. Kamp, K. Y. L. Su +3
We present a model that describes stellar infrared excesses due to heating of the interstellar (IS) dust by a hot star passing through a diffuse IS cloud. This model is applied to…
The Young, Massive, Star Cluster Sandage-96 After the Explosion of SN 2004dj in NGC 2403
J. Vinko, K. Sarneczky, Z. Balog +12
The bright Type II-plateau supernova (SN) 2004dj occurred within the young, massive stellar cluster Sandage-96 in a spiral arm of NGC 2403. New multi-wavelength observations obtain…
Stellar Age Estimation from ~3 Myr to ~3 Gyr
Lynne Hillenbrand, Eric Mamajek, John Stauffer +3
We present recent progress on quantitative estimation of stellar ages using ind icators such as theoretical evolutionary tracks, rotation, rotation-driven chrom ospheric and corona…
Alternative Data Reduction Procedures for UVES: Wavelength Calibration and Spectrum Addition
Rodger I. Thompson, Jill Bechtold, John H. Black +1
This paper addresses alternative procedures to the ESO supplied pipeline procedures for the reduction of UVES spectra of two quasar spectra to determine the value of the fundamenta…
Spitzer observations of extended Lyman-alpha Clouds in the SSA22 field
T. M. A. Webb, T. Yamada, J. -S. Huang +5
We present the results of a Spitzer IRAC and MIPS 24 micron study of extended Lyman-alpha clouds (or Lyman-alpha Blobs, LABs) within the SSA22 filamentary structure at z = 3.09. We…
The IR Luminosity Functions of Rich Clusters
Lei Bai, George H. Rieke, Marcia J. Rieke +2
We present MIPS observations of the cluster A3266. About 100 spectroscopic cluster members have been detected at 24 micron. The IR luminosity function in A3266 is very similar to t…
The spatial clustering of X-ray selected AGN in the XMM-COSMOS field
R. Gilli, G. Zamorani, T. Miyaji +70
We study the spatial clustering of 538 X-ray selected AGN in the 2 deg^2 XMM-COSMOS field that are spectroscopically identified to I_{AB}<23 and span the redshift range z=0.2-3.0.…
The very short supersoft X-ray state of the classical nova M31N 2007-11a
M. Henze, W. Pietsch, G. Sala +9
Short supersoft X-ray source (SSS) states (durations < 100 days) of classical novae (CNe) indicate massive white dwarfs that are candidate progenitors of supernovae type Ia. We car…
Periodic Variables in the Open Cluster NGC 2301
Tuguldur Sukhbold, Steve B. Howell
We present the results of a search for periodic variables within 4078 time-series light curves and an analysis of the period-color plane for stars in the field of the open cluster…
Constraints on the Size of Extra Dimensions from the Orbital Evolution of the Black-Hole X-Ray Binary XTE J1118+480
Tim Johannsen
In a universe of the Randall-Sundrum type, black holes are unstable and emit gravitational modes in the extra dimension. This leads to dramatically shortened lifetimes of astrophys…
The Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
K. Abazajian
This paper describes the Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), marking the completion of the original goals of the SDSS and the end of the phase known as SDS…
On-sky wide field adaptive optics correction using multiple laser guide stars at the MMT
Christoph Baranec, Michael Hart, N. Mark Milton +6
We describe results from the first astronomical adaptive optics system to use multiple laser guide stars, located at the 6.5-m MMT telescope in Arizona. Its initial operational mod…
