Thermal states of coldest and hottest neutron stars in soft X-ray transients
D. G. Yakovlev, K. P. Levenfish, A. Y. Potekhin +2
We calculate the thermal structure and quiescent thermal luminosity of accreting neutron stars (warmed by deep crustal heating in accreted matter) in soft X-ray transients (SXTs).…
The Host Galaxy of GRB 990712
Lise Christensen, Jens Hjorth, Javier Gorosabel +4
We present a comprehensive study of the z=0.43 host galaxy of GRB 990712, involving ground-based photometry, spectroscopy, and HST imaging. The broad-band UBVRIJHKs photometry is u…
The host galaxies of luminous quasars
D. J. E. Floyd, M. J. Kukula, J. S. Dunlop +5
We present results of a deep HST/WFPC2 imaging study of 17 quasars at z~0.4, designed to determine the properties of their host galaxies. The sample consists of quasars with absolu…
Observation of GRB 030131 with the INTEGRAL satellite
D. Gotz, S. Mereghetti, K. Hurley +13
A long Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) was detected with the instruments on board the INTEGRAL satellite on January 31 2003. Although most of the GRB, which lasted 150 seconds, occurre…
Neutron star cooling: Theoretical aspects and observational constraints
D. G. Yakovlev, O. Y. Gnedin, A. D. Kaminker +2
The cooling theory of isolated neutron stars is reviewed. The main cooling regulators are discussed, first of all, operation of direct Urca process (or similar processes in exotic…
A search for the optical and near-infrared counterpart of the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar XTE J1751-305
P. G. Jonker, G. Nelemans, Z. Wang +14
We have obtained optical and near-infrared images of the field of the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar XTE J1751-305. There are no stars in the 0.7'' error circle (0.7'' is the o…
