Test of CZT Detectors with Different Pixel Pitches and Thicknesses

Qiang Li, Alfred III Garson, Ira Jung +6

The Modified Horizontal Bridgman (MHB) process produces Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) crystals with high yield and excellent homogeneity. Various groups,including our own, previousl…

Stellar Kinematics in the Complicated Inner Spheroid of M31: Discovery of Substructure Along the Southeastern Minor Axis and its Relationship to the Giant Southern Stream

Karoline M. Gilbert, Mark Fardal, Jasonjot S. Kalirai +9

We present the discovery of a kinematically-cold stellar population along the SE minor axis of the Andromeda galaxy (M31) that is likely the forward continuation of M31's giant sou…

3-D GRMHD and GRPIC Simulations of Disk-Jet Coupling and Emission

K. -I. Nishikawa, Y. Mizuno, M. Watson +4

We investigate jet formation in black-hole systems using 3-D General Relativistic Particle-In-Cell (GRPIC) and 3-D GRMHD simulations. GRPIC simulations, which allow charge separati…
