The Initial Cluster Mass Function of Super Star Clusters in Irregular and Spiral Galaxies

Jayce D. Dowell, Brent A. Buckalew, Jonathan C. Tan

The initial cluster mass function (ICMF) is a fundamental property of star formation in galaxies. To gauge its universality, we measure and compare the ICMFs in irregular and spira…

Is There Enhanced Depletion of Gas-Phase Nitrogen in Moderately Reddened Lines of Sight?

Adam G. Jensen, Brian L. Rachford, Theodore P. Snow

We report on the abundance of interstellar neutral nitrogen (NI) for 30 sightlines, using data from the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) and the Hubble Space Telescope…

Coherent searches for periodic gravitational waves from unknown isolated sources and Scorpius X-1: results from the second LIGO science run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration

We carry out two searches for periodic gravitational waves using the most sensitive few hours of data from the second LIGO science run. The first search is targeted at isolated, pr…
