The MiMeS Project: First Results

J. H. Grunhut, E. Alecian, D. A. Bohlender +11

Massive stars are those stars with initial masses above about 8 times that of the sun, eventually leading to catastrophic explosions in the form of supernovae. These represent the…

The behavior of subluminous X-ray transients near the Galactic center as observed using the X-ray telescope aboard Swift

N. Degenaar, R. Wijnands

In this paper we report on the spectral analysis of seven X-ray transients, which were found to be active during a monitoring campaign of the Galactic center carried out in 2006 an…

The effect of spiral arm passages on the evolution of stellar clusters

M. Gieles, E. Athanassoula, S. F. Portegies Zwart

We study the effect of spiral arm passages on the evolution of star clusters on planar and circular orbits around the centres of galaxies. Individual passages with different relati…

Simultaneous radio/X-ray observations of Cir X-1

V. Tudose, P. Soleri, R. P. Fender +4

We present a partial analysis of a multi-wavelength study of the X-ray binary Cir X-1, a system harboring the most relativistic outflow in our galaxy so far. The data were taken (a…

Jet-powered optical nebulae from X-ray binaries

David M. Russell, Rob P. Fender, Elena Gallo +2

Accreting black holes and neutron stars release an unknown fraction of the infalling particles and energy in the form of collimated jets. The jets themselves are radiatively ineffi…

Reconstructing the Initial Relaxation Time of Young Star Clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Simon F. Portegies Zwart, Hui-Chen Chen

We reconstruct the initial two-body relaxation time at the half mass radius for a sample of young $\aplt 300$ Myr star clusters in the large Magellanic cloud. We achieve this by si…

K-band spectroscopy of deeply embedded, young OB stars

A. Bik, L. Kaper, M. M. Hanson +1

We have obtained high resolution (R = 10,000) K-band spectra of candidate young massive stars deeply embedded in high-mass star-forming regions. These objects were selected from a…

Dust in Proto-Planetary Disks: Properties and Evolution

A. Natta, L. Testi, N. Calvet +3

We review the properties of dust in protoplanetary disks around optically visible pre-main sequence stars obtained with a variety of observational techniques, from measurements of…

Life and Death of Young Dense Star Clusters near the Galactic Center

Simon Portegies Zwart, Stephen McMillan, Holger Baumgardt

We discuss the structural change and degree of mass segregation of young dense star clusters within about 100pc of the Galactic center. In our calculations, which are performed wit…

Dynamics of Intermediate Mass Black Holes in Star Clusters

Holger Baumgardt, Simon Portegies Zwart, Steve McMillan +2

We have followed the evolution of multi-mass star clusters containing massive central black holes by N-body simulations on the GRAPE6 computers of Tokyo University. We find a stron…

The Hard Truth about Some "Soft" X-ray Transients

R. M. Bandyopadhyay, C. Brocksopp, R. P. Fender

We have accumulated multiwavelength lightcurves for eight black hole X-ray binaries which have been observed to enter a supposed ``soft X-ray transient'' outburst, but which in fac…
