Self-Similar Evolution of Wind-Blown Bubbles with Mass-loading by Conductive Evaporation

J. M. Pittard, J. E. Dyson, T. W. Hartquist

We present similarity solutions for mass-loaded adiabatic bubbles that are blown by winds having time dependent mechanical luminosities. We consider mass-loading through conductive…

The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: Near Infrared Galaxy Luminosity Functions

Shaun Cole, Peder Norberg, Carlton Baugh +24

We combine the 2MASS extended source catalogue and the 2dFGRS to produce an IR selected galaxy catalogue with 17,173 measured redshifts. We use this extensive dataset to estimate t…

PSR J1740-3052 - a pulsar with a massive companion

I. H. Stairs, R. N. Manchester, A. G. Lyne +14

We report on the discovery of a binary pulsar, PSR J1740-3052, during the Parkes multibeam survey. Timing observations of the 570-ms pulsar at Jodrell Bank and Parkes show that it…

The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: The Number and Luminosity Density of Galaxies

Nicholas Cross, Simon P. Driver, Warrick Couch +29

We present the bivariate brightness distribution (BBD) for the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) based on a preliminary subsample of 45,000 galaxies. The BBD is an extension of t…

Cosmic Rays above eV

Murat Boratav, Alan A. Watson

We briefly review the status of cosmic ray studies between eV and the highest observed energies, namely a few times eV. Because of the rather low incident fluxe…

The Edinburgh/Durham Southern Galaxy Catalogue - IX. The Galaxy Catalogue

R. C. Nichol, C. A. Collins, S. L. Lumsden

We announce here the public availability of the Edinburgh/Durham Southern Galaxy Catalogue (EDSGC, http://www.edsgc.org). This objective galaxy catalogue was constructed using the…

Infrared Helium-Hydrogen Line Ratios as a Measure of Stellar Effective Temperature

S. L. Lumsden, P. J. Puxley, M. G. Hoare

We have observed a large sample of compact planetary nebulae in the near-infrared to determine how the 2^1P-2^1S HeI line at 2.058um varies as a function of stellar effective tempe…

An X-ray Binary Model for the Galactic Center Source IRS 13E

R. F. Coker, J. M. Pittard

We present several models for IRS 13E, an infrared, mm and X-ray source in the Galactic Center. Our favored interpretation is that of an early-type binary with strong colliding win…

A Magnetic Dynamo Origin For The Sub-mm Excess In Sgr A*

Fulvio Melia, Siming Liu, Robert Coker

The sub-mm bump observed in the spectrum of Sgr A* appears to indicate the existence of a compact emitting component within several Schwarzschild radii, , of the nucleus at th…

Polarized mm And sub-mm Emission From Sgr A* At The Galactic Center

Fulvio Melia, Siming Liu, Robert Coker

The recent detection of significant linear polarization at mm and sub-mm wavelengths in the spectrum of Sgr A* (if confirmed) will be a useful probe of the conditions within severa…

New constraints from Haverah Park data on the photon and iron fluxes of UHE cosmic rays

M. Ave, J. A. Hinton, R. A. Vazquez +2

Using data from inclined events () recorded by the Haverah Park shower detector, we show that above 10^19 eV less than 30% of the primary cosmic rays can b…

Coordinated Monitoring of the Eccentric O-star Binary Iota Orionis: The X-ray Analysis

Julian Pittard, Ian Stevens, Michael Corcoran +3

We analyse two ASCA observations of the highly eccentric O9III + B1III binary Iota Orionis obtained at periastron and apastron. Based on the assumption of a strong colliding winds…

Gamma-ray Observations of the Galactic Plane at Energies E > 500 GeV

S. LeBohec, I. H. Bond, S. M. Bradbury +25

In 1998 and 1999 the Whipple Observatory 10 m telescope was used to search for diffuse gamma ray emission from the Galactic Plane. No signifiant evidence of emission was found. Ass…

The rate of cosmic ray showers at large zenith angles: a step towards the detection of ultra-high energy neutrinos by the Pierre Auger Observatory

M. Ave, J. A. Hinton, R. A. Vazquez +2

It is anticipated that the Pierre Auger Observatory can be used to detect cosmic neutrinos of >10^19 eV that arrive at very large zenith angles. However showers created by neutrino…

Models of Wave Supported Clumps in Giant Molecular Clouds

R. F. Coker, J. G. L. Rae, T. W. Hartquist

We present plane-parallel equilibrium models of molecular clumps that are supported by Alfven waves damped by the linear process of ion-neutral friction. We used a WKB approximatio…

5cm OH masers as diagnostics of physical conditions in star-forming regions

K. G. Pavlakis, N. D. Kylafis

We demonstrate that the observed characteristics of the 5 cm OH masers in star-forming regions can be explained with the same model and the same parameters as the 18 cm and the 6 c…

A Near Infrared Polarized Bipolar Cone in the CIRCINUS Galaxy

M. Ruiz, D. M. Alexander, S. Young +3

We present near-infrared broad-band polarization images of the nuclear regions of the Circinus galaxy in the J, H and K bands. For the first time the south-eastern reflection cone…

Magnetic ionization fronts II: Jump conditions for oblique magnetization

R. J. R. Williams, J. E. Dyson, T. W. Hartquist

We present the jump conditions for ionization fronts with oblique magnetic fields. The standard nomenclature of R- and D-type fronts can still be applied, but in the case of obliqu…
