The Sun's Preferred Longitudes and the Coupling of Magnetic Dynamo Modes

Alberto Bigazzi, Alexander Ruzmaikin

Observations show that solar activity is distributed non-axisymmetrically, concentrating at "preferred longitudes". This indicates the important role of non-axisymmetric magnetic f…

Using Narrow Band Photometry to Classify Stars and Brown Dwarfs

A. K. Mainzer, Ian S. McLean, J. L. Sievers +1

We present a new system of narrow band filters in the near infrared that can be used to classify stars and brown dwarfs. This set of four filters, spanning the H band, can be used…

X-Ray Emission from the Pre-Planetary Nebula Henize 3-1475

Raghvendra Sahai, Joel H. Kastner, Adam Frank +2

We report the first detection of X-ray emission in a pre-planetary nebula, Hen 3-1475. Pre-planetary nebulae are rare objects in the short transition stage between the Asymptotic G…

Sub-millimeter emission from type Ia supernova host galaxies at z=0.5

D. Farrah, M. Fox, M. Rowan-Robinson +2

We present deep sub-millimetre observations of seventeen galaxies at z=0.5, selected through being hosts of a type 1a supernova. Two galaxies are detected directly, and the sample…
