Isolated Horizons: A Generalization of Black Hole Mechanics

Abhay Ashtekar, Christopher Beetle, Stephen Fairhurst

A set of boundary conditions defining a non-rotating isolated horizon are given in Einstein-Maxwell theory. A space-time representing a black hole which itself is in equilibrium bu…

Limits on dark matter WIMPs using upward-going muons in the MACRO detector

The MACRO Collaboration, M. Ambrosio et al

We perform an indirect search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) using the MACRO detector to look for neutrino-induced upward-going muons resulting from the annihilat…

The Circumstellar Extinction of Planetary Nebulae

Robin Ciardullo, George H. Jacoby

We analyze the dependence of circumstellar extinction on core mass for the brightest planetary nebulae (PNe) in the Magellanic Clouds and M31. We show that in all three galaxies, a…

Chemical Abundances of Planetary Nebulae in the Bulge and Disk of M31

George H. Jacoby, Robin Ciardullo

We derive abundances and central star parameters for 15 planetary nebulae (PNe) in M31: 12 in the bulge and 3 in a disk field 14 kpc from the nucleus. No single abundance value cha…

Growth Rates in the Quaquaversal Tiling

Brimstone Draco, Lorenzo Sadun, Douglas Van Wieren

Conway and Radin's "quaquaversal" tiling of R^3 is known to exhibit statistical rotational symmetry in the infinite volume limit. A finite patch, however, cannot be perfectly isotr…

Diffractive Photoproduction of at HERA

L. L. Frankfurt, M. F. McDermott, M. Strikman

Predictions for the diffractive photoproduction of the -family at HERA energies, within the framework of the analysis by Frankfurt, Koepf and Strikman, are presented. Two novel…

The effective sigma-model of multidimensional gravity

M. Rainer

The properties of the effective sigma-model for D-dimensional Einstein gravity based on multidimensional geometries is analyzed. Besides pure geometry, additional minimally coupled…

Distortion of Globular Clusters by Galactic Bulges

Holly K. Nordquist, Robert J. Klinger, Pablo Laguna +1

One of the external fields that influences the population of globular clusters is that due to galactic bulges. In extreme situations, perigalactic distances pc, globu…

Quantum groupoids associated to universal dynamical R-matrices

Ping Xu

By using twist construction, we obtain a quantum groupoid $\cald\ot_{q}\uqg$ for any simple Lie algebra $\frakg$. The underlying Hopf algebroid structure encodes all the informatio…

Afterglows from Gamma-ray Bursts

P. Meszaros

The successful discovery of X-ray, optical and radio afterglows of gamma-ray bursts has significantly helped our understanding of these sources, and made possible the identificatio…

Optical and UV observations of a strong flare in the young, single K2-dwarf LQ Hya

D. Montes, S. H. Saar, A. Collier Cameron +1

We present high resolution optical echelle spectra and IUE observations during a strong flare on 1993 December 22 in the very active, young, rapidly rotating, single K2 dwarf LQ Hy…

The Post-Common Envelope and Pre-Cataclysmic Binary PG 1224+309

Jerome A. Orosz, Richard A. Wade, Jason J. B. Harlow +3

We have made extensive spectroscopic and photometric observations of PG 1224+309, a close binary containing a DA white dwarf primary and an M4+ secondary. The H alpha line is in em…

One more surprise from the Circinus Galaxy: BeppoSAX discovery of a transmission component in hard X-rays

G. Matt, M. Guainazzi, R. Maiolino +11

The Circinus Galaxy has been observed, for the first time above 10 keV, by BeppoSAX. An excess emission above the extrapolation of the best fit 0.1--10 keV spectrum is apparent in…

X-ray Pulsations from the Central Source in Puppis A

G. G. Pavlov, V. E Zavlin, J. Truemper

There are several supernova remnants which contain unresolved X-ray sources close to their centers, presumably radio-quiet neutron stars. To prove that these objects are indeed neu…

Cosmic Rays and Neutrinos from Gamma Ray Bursts

Jorg P. Rachen, P. Meszaros

We review the hypothesis that the acceleration of protons at internal shocks in Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB) could be the origin of the ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) observed at…
