Gamma-Ray Bursts: The Central Engine

S. E. Woosley

A variety of arguments suggest that the most common form of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), those longer than a few seconds, involve the formation of black holes in supernova-like events.…

Milagrito: a TeV air-shower array

The Milagro Collaboration, R. Atkins

Milagrito, a large, covered water-Cherenkov detector, was the world's first air-shower-particle detector sensitive to cosmic gamma rays below 1 TeV. It served as a prototype for th…

Quintessence, Flat Potential and String/M Theory Axion

Kiwoon Choi

A slow-rolling scalar field (Quintessence) has been proposed as the origin of accelerating universe at present. We discuss some features of quintessence, particularly those related…

Distance Dependence in the Solar Neighborhood Age-Metallicity Relation

D. R. Garnett, H. A. Kobulnicky

The age-metallicity relation for F and G dwarf stars in the solar neighborhood, based on the stellar metallicity data of Edvardsson et al. (1993), shows an apparent scatter that is…

Axisymmetric, 3-Integral Models of Galaxies: A Massive Black Hole in NGC3379

Karl Gebhardt, Douglas Richstone, John Kormendy +8

We fit axisymmetric 3-integral dynamical models to NGC3379 using the line-of-sight velocity distribution obtained from HST/FOS spectra of the galaxy center and ground-based long-sl…

Radial Color Gradient and Main Sequence Mass Segregation in M30 (NGC 7099)

Justin H. Howell, Puragra Guhathakurta, Amy Tan

It has long been known that the post-core-collapse globular cluster M30 has a bluer-inward color gradient, and recent work suggests that the central deficiency of bright red giants…

Rotational velocities of low-mass stars in the Pleiades and Hyades

Donald M. Terndrup, John R. Stauffer, Marc H. Pinsonneault +5

We have obtained high-resolution spectra of 89 M dwarf members of the Pleiades and Hyades and have derived radial velocities, H-alpha equivalent widths, and spectroscopic rotationa…

The Butcher-Oemler Effect at Moderate Redshift

Anne J. Metevier, A. Kathy Romer, M. P. Ulmer

We present the results of Butcher-Oemler-style analysis of three moderate- redshift (0.1<z<0.2) clusters which have bimodal X-ray surface brightness profiles. We find that at least…

Geodetic Precession in PSR B1534+12

I. H. Stairs, S. E. Thorsett, J. H. Taylor +1

We present Arecibo observations of PSR B1534+12 which confirm previous suggestions that the pulse profile is evolving secularly. This effect is similar to that seen in PSR B1913+16…
