Long Term Evolution of Magnetic Turbulence in Relativistic Collisionless Shocks: Electron-Positron Plasmas

P. Chang, A. Spitkovsky, J. Arons

We study the long term evolution of magnetic fields generated by a collisionless relativistic shock which is initially unmagnetized. Our 2D particle-in-cell numerical simu…

Simulating Galaxies and Galaxy Clusters

Jesper Sommer-Larsen

The X-ray luminosities of the hot halo gas around simulated, Milky Way like disk galaxies have been determined, as a function of redshift. The X-ray luminosity increases significan…

In Dust We Trust: An Overview of Observations and Theories of Interstellar Dust

Aigen Li, J. Mayo Greenberg

The past century of interstellar dust has brought us from first ignoring it to finding that it is an important component of the interstellar medium and plays an important role in t…

The ATCA Intraday Variability Survey of Extragalactic Radio Sources

L. L. Kedziora-Chudczer, D. L. Jauncey, M. H. Wieringa +2

We present the results of an Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) survey for intra-day variability (IDV) of the total and polarized flux densities of 118 compact, flat spectrum…

Hotspot Emission from a Freely Precessing Neutron Star

Jeremy S. Heyl, Lars Hernquist

Recent observations of 1E~161348-5055, the neutron-star candidate at the center of the supernova remnant RCW 103, show that a component of its emission varies sinusoidally with a p…

Magnetic Lensing near Ultramagnetized Neutron Stars

Nir J. Shaviv, Jeremy S. Heyl, Yoram Lithwick

Extremely strong magnetic fields change the vacuum index of refraction. This induces a lensing effect that is not unlike the lensing phenomenon in strong gravitational fields. The…

The Extremely Red Objects Found Thus Far in the Caltech Faint Galaxy Redshift Survey

Judith G. Cohen, David W. Hogg, Roger Blandford +2

We discuss the very red objects found in the first field of the Caltech Faint Galaxy Redshift Survey, for which the observations and analysis are now complete. In this field, which…

Almost Analytic Models of Ultramagnetized Neutron Star Envelopes

Jeremy S. Heyl, Lars Hernquist

Recent ROSAT measurements show that the x-ray emission from isolated neutron stars is modulated at the stellar rotation period. To interpret these measurements, one needs precise c…

Are AGN Broad Emission Lines Formed by Discrete Clouds? --- Analysis of Keck High Resolution Spectroscopy of NGC 4151

Nahum Arav, Thomas A. Barlow, Ari Laor +2

We search for a direct signature of discrete ''clouds'' in the broad line region (BLR) of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151. For this purpose we apply cross correlation (CC) analysis to…

Stellar Forensics I: Cooling Curves

Brad M. S. Hansen, E. Sterl Phinney

The presence of low mass, degenerate secondaries in millisecond pulsar binaries offers the opportunity to determine an age for the binary system independent of the rotational prope…
