An XMM-Newton Spectral and Timing Study of IGR J16207-5129: An Obscured and Non-Pulsating HMXB
John A. Tomsick, Sylvain Chaty, Jerome Rodriguez +3
We report on a 12 hr XMM-Newton observation of the supergiant High-Mass X-ray Binary IGR J16207-5129. This is only the second soft X-ray (0.4-15 keV, in this case) study of the sou…
Search for Redshifted 2.2 MeV Neutron Capture Line From A0535+262 in Outburst
Sirin Caliskan, Emrah Kalemci, Matthew G. Baring +2
The Be/X-ray binary system A0535+262 underwent a giant outburst in May-June 2005, followed by a dimmer outburst in August-September 2005. This increased intensity provided an oppor…
The Disruption and Fueling of M33
M. E. Putman, J. E. G. Peek, A. Muratov +7
The disruption of the M33 galaxy is evident from its extended gaseous structure. We present new data from the Galactic Arecibo L-Band Feed Array HI (GALFA-HI) Survey that show the…
The Keck Aperture Masking Experiment: spectro-interferometry of 3 Mira Variables from 1.1 to 3.8 microns
H. C. Woodruff, M. J. Ireland, P. G. Tuthill +6
We present results from a spectro-interferometric study of the Miras o Cet, R Leo and W Hya obtained with the Keck Aperture Masking Experiment from 1998 Sep to 2002 Jul. The spectr…
New SETI Sky Surveys for Radio Pulses
Andrew Siemion, Joshua Von Korff, Peter McMahon +9
Berkeley conducts 7 SETI programs at IR, visible and radio wavelengths. Here we review two of the newest efforts, Astropulse and Fly's Eye. A variety of possible sources of microse…
GRB 080503: Implications of a Naked Short Gamma-Ray Burst Dominated by Extended Emission
D. A. Perley, B. D. Metzger, J. Granot +22
We report on observations of GRB 080503, a short gamma-ray burst with very bright extended emission (about 30 times the gamma-ray fluence of the initial spike) in conjunction with…
Low-Velocity Halo Clouds
J. E. G. Peek, Carl Heiles, M. E. Putman +1
Models that reproduce the observed high-velocity clouds (HVCs) also predict clouds at lower radial velocities that may easily be confused with Galactic disk (|z| < 1 kpc) gas. We d…
Chandra astrometry sets a tight upper limit to the proper motion of SGR 1900+14
A. De Luca, P. A. Caraveo, P. Esposito +1
The soft gamma-ray repeater (SGR) SGR 1900+14 lies a few arcminutes outside the edge of the shell supernova remnant (SNR) G42.8+0.6. A physical association between the two systems…
Discovery of an Unusual Optical Transient with the Hubble Space Telescope
K. Barbary, K. S. Dawson, K. Tokita +27
We present observations of SCP 06F6, an unusual optical transient discovered during the Hubble Space Telescope Cluster Supernova Survey. The transient brightened over a period of ~…
AGILE detection of delayed gamma-ray emission from GRB 080514B
A. Giuliani, S. Mereghetti, F. Fornari +55
GRB 080514B is the first gamma ray burst (GRB), since the time of EGRET, for which individual photons of energy above several tens of MeV have been detected with a pair-conversion…
A Scalable Correlator Architecture Based on Modular FPGA Hardware, Reuseable Gateware, and Data Packetization
Aaron Parsons, Donald Backer, Henry Chen +9
A new generation of radio telescopes is achieving unprecedented levels of sensitivity and resolution, as well as increased agility and field-of-view, by employing high-performance…
Looking Beyond Lambda with the Union Supernova Compilation
D. Rubin, E. V. Linder, M. Kowalski +21
The recent robust and homogeneous analysis of the world's supernova distance-redshift data, together with cosmic microwave background and baryon acoustic oscillation data, provides…
LSST: from Science Drivers to Reference Design and Anticipated Data Products
Željko Ivezić, Steven M. Kahn, J. Anthony Tyson +310
(Abridged) We describe here the most ambitious survey currently planned in the optical, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). A vast array of science will be enabled by a sin…
The Afterglows of Swift-era Gamma-Ray Bursts II.: Type I GRB versus Type II GRB Optical Afterglows
D. A. Kann, S. Klose, B. Zhang +21
We use a large sample of GRB afterglow and prompt-emission data (adding further GRB afterglow observations in this work) to compare the optical afterglows (or the lack thereof) of…
Multiple Component Analysis of Time Resolved Spectra of GRB041006: A Clue to the Nature of Underlying Soft Component of GRBs
Yuji Shirasaki, Atsumasa Yoshida, Nobuyuki Kawai +30
GRB 041006 was detected by HETE-2 at 12:18:08 UT on 06 October 2004. This GRB displays a soft X-ray emission, a precursor before the onset of the main event, and also a soft X-ray…
Spectral Properties of Prompt Emission of Four Short Gamma-Ray Bursts Observed by the Suzaku-WAM and the Konus-Wind
Masanori Ohno, Yasushi Fukazawa, Takuya Takahashi +16
We have performed a joint analysis of prompt emission from four bright short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with the Suzaku-WAM and the Konus-Wind experiments. This joint analysis allows…
