X-ray Spectral Properties of Gamma-Ray Bursts
T. E. Strohmayer, E. E. Fenimore, T. Murakami +1
We summarize the spectral characteristics of a sample of 22 bright gamma-ray bursts detected with the gamma-ray burst sensors aboard the satellite Ginga. This instrument employed a…
BATSE Sky Exposure
Jon Hakkila, Charles A. Meegan, Geoffrey N. Pendleton +4
Angular sky exposure is presented for a number of published BATSE gamma-ray burst catalogs. A new algorithm was required due to telemetry gaps resulting from onboard tape recorder…
Spectral State Transitions in Aql X-1: Evidence for `Propeller' Effects
S. N. Zhang, W. Yu, W. Zhang
Aql X-1 is a soft X-ray transient source and emits type I X-ray bursts. A spectral state transition was observed with RXTE during its outburst decay in February and March 1997. Its…
An approximate self-consistent theory of the magnetic field of fluted penumbrae
T. Neukirch, P. C. H. Martens
A self-consistent mathematical description of the magnetic field of fluted sunspot penumbrae is presented. This description is based on an expansion of the nonlinear force-free mag…
Bayesian Blocks, A New Method to Analyze Structure in Photon Counting Data
Jeffrey D. Scargle
I describe a new time-domain algorithm for detecting localized structures (bursts), revealing pulse shapes, and generally characterizing intensity variations. The input is raw coun…
The LMC Microlensing Events: Evidence for a Warped and Flaring Milky Way Disk?
N. W. Evans, G. Gyuk, M. S. Turner +1
The simplest interpretation of the microlensing events towards the Large Magellanic Cloud detected by the MACHO and EROS collaborations is that about one third of the halo of our o…
