NuSTAR and Swift observations of the fast rotating magnetized white dwarf AE Aquarii
Takao Kitaguchi, Hongjun An, Andrei M. Beloborodov +11
AE Aquarii is a cataclysmic variable with the fastest known rotating magnetized white dwarf (P_spin = 33.08 s). Compared to many intermediate polars, AE Aquarii shows a soft X-ray…
Correlations at large scales and the onset of turbulence in the fast solar wind
Robert T. Wicks, D. Aaron Roberts, Alfred Mallet +3
We show that the scaling of structure functions of magnetic and velocity fields in a mostly highly Alfvénic fast solar wind stream depends strongly on the joint distribution of the…
Measuring the Coronal Properties of IC4329A with NuSTAR
L. W. Brenneman, G. Madejski, F. Fuerst +16
We present an analysis of a ~160 ks NuSTAR observation of the nearby bright Seyfert galaxy IC4329A. The high-quality broadband spectrum enables us to separate the effects of distan…
First hard X-ray detection of the non-thermal emission around the Arches cluster: morphology and spectral studies with NuSTAR
Roman A. Krivonos, John A. Tomsick, Franz E. Bauer +15
The Arches cluster is a young, densely packed massive star cluster in our Galaxy that shows a high level of star formation activity. The nature of the extended non-thermal X-ray em…

We report observations of white-light ejecta in the low corona, for two X-class flares on the 2013 May 13, using data from the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) of the Solar D…
Cutoff in the hard X-ray spectra of the ultraluminous X-ray sources HoIX X-1 and M82 X-1
Sergey Sazonov, Alexander Lutovinov, Roman Krivonos
Using data from the XMM-Newton and INTEGRAL observatories, we have detected a cutoff at energies above 10 keV in the X-ray spectra of the ultraluminous X-ray sources HoIX X-1 and M…
Developing a method for soft gamma-ray Laue lens assembly and calibration
Nicolas M. Barrière, John A. Tomsick, Steven E. Boggs +6
Laue lenses constitute a promising option for concentrating soft gamma rays with a large collection area and reasonable focal lengths. In astronomy they could lead to increased tel…
Measurement of the Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization Lensing Power Spectrum with the POLARBEAR experiment
POLARBEAR Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, Y. Akiba +70
Gravitational lensing due to the large-scale distribution of matter in the cosmos distorts the primordial Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and thereby induces new, small-scale …
Evidence for Gravitational Lensing of the Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization from Cross-correlation with the Cosmic Infrared Background
POLARBEAR Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, Y. Akiba +73
We reconstruct the gravitational lensing convergence signal from Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarization data taken by the POLARBEAR experiment and cross-correlate it with C…
Lensed Type Ia Supernovae as Probes of Cluster Mass Models
J. Nordin, D. Rubin, J. Richard +19
Using three magnified Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) detected behind CLASH clusters, we perform a first pilot study to see whether standardizable candles can be used to calibrate clus…
Planck 2013 results. XI. All-sky model of thermal dust emission
Planck Collaboration, A. Abergel, P. A. R. Ade +244
This paper presents an all-sky model of dust emission from the Planck 857, 545 and 353 GHz, and IRAS 100 micron data. Using a modified black-body fit to the data we present all-sky…
The 3 Ms Chandra Campaign on Sgr A*: A Census of X-ray Flaring Activity from the Galactic Center
J. Neilsen, M. A. Nowak, C. Gammie +14
Over the last decade, X-ray observations of Sgr A* have revealed a black hole in a deep sleep, punctuated roughly once per day by brief flares. The extreme X-ray faintness of this…
