G359.95-0.04: Pulsar Candidate Near Sgr A*
Q. D. Wang, F. J. Lu, E. V. Gotthelf
We report the discovery of a prominent nonthermal X-ray feature located near the Galactic center that we identify as an energetic pulsar wind nebula. This feature, G359.95-0.04, li…
Chandra X-ray Observations of Galaxies in an Off-Center Region of the Coma Cluster
A. E. Hornschemeier, B. Mobasher, D. M. Alexander +4
We have performed a pilot Chandra survey of an off-center region of the Coma cluster to explore the X-ray properties and Luminosity Function of normal galaxies. We present results…
Neutron-loaded outflows in gamma-ray bursts
Elena M. Rossi, Andrei M. Beloborodov, Martin J. Rees
Relativistic neutron-loaded outflows in gamma-ray bursts are studied at their early stages, before deceleration by a surrounding medium. The outflow has four components: radiation,…
Techniques for measuring atmospheric aerosols at the High Resolution Fly's Eye experiment
The HiRes Collaboration
We describe several techniques developed by the High Resolution Fly's Eye experiment for measuring aerosol vertical optical depth, aerosol horizontal attenuation length, and aeroso…
Discovery of the X-ray Counterpart to the Rotating Radio Transient J1819--1458
S. P. Reynolds, K. J. Borkowski, B. M. Gaensler +10
We present the discovery of the first X-ray counterpart to a Rotating RAdio Transient (RRAT) source. RRAT J1819--1458 is a relatively highly magnetized (B G)…
The Effect of the Transit of Venus on ACRIM's Total Solar Irradiance Measurements: Implications for Transit Studies of Extrasolar Planets
G. Schneider, J. M. Pasachoff, R. C. Willson
We used the 8 June 2004 transit of Venus (ToV) as a surrogate to test observing methods, strategies and techniques that are being contemplated for future space missions to detect a…
Discovery of Counter-Rotating Gas in the Galaxies NGC1596 and NGC3203 and the Incidence of Gas Counter-Rotation in S0 Galaxies
M. Bureau, A. Chung
We have identified two new galaxies with gas counter-rotation (NGC1596 and NGC3203) and have confirmed similar behaviour in another one (NGC128), this using results from separate s…
High Shear Regions in Weak Lensing Surveys Determine Cosmology
Sheng Wang, Zoltan Haiman, Morgan May +1
We propose to use a simple observable, the fractional area of "hot spots" in weak lensing mass maps which are detected with high significance, to determine background cosmological…
Model selection as a science driver for dark energy surveys
Pia Mukherjee, David Parkinson, Pier Stefano Corasaniti +2
A key science goal of upcoming dark energy surveys is to seek time evolution of the dark energy. This problem is one of {\em model selection}, where the aim is to differentiate bet…
Correlated Fluctuations in Luminosity Distance and the (Surprising) Importance of Peculiar Motion in Supernova Surveys
Lam Hui, Patrick B. Greene
Large scale structure introduces two different kinds of errors in the luminosity distance estimates from standardizable candles such as supernovae Ia (SNe) - a Poissonian scatter f…
The Duck Redux: An Improved Proper Motion Upper Limit for the Pulsar B1757-24 Near the Supernova Remnant G5.4-1.2
J. A. Blazek, B. M. Gaensler, S. Chatterjee +3
"The Duck" is a complicated non-thermal radio system, consisting of the energetic radio pulsar B1757-24, its surrounding pulsar wind nebula G5.27-0.90 and the adjacent supernova re…
Simulating Star Formation and Feedback in Galactic Disk Models
Elizabeth J. Tasker, Greg L. Bryan
We use a high-resolution grid-based hydrodynamics method to simulate the multi-phase interstellar medium in a Milky Way-size quiescent disk galaxy. The models are global and three-…
A Near-Infrared Spectral Template for Quasars
Eilat Glikman, David J. Helfand, Richard L. White
We present a near-infrared quasar composite spectrum spanning the wavelength range 0.58 - 3.5 um. The spectrum has been constructed from observations of 27 quasars obtained at the…
Transient radio bursts from rotating neutron stars
M. A. McLaughlin, A. G. Lyne, D. R. Lorimer +11
The `radio sky' is relatively unexplored for transient signals, although the potential of radio-transient searches is high, as demonstrated recently by the discovery of a previousl…
The young, highly relativistic binary pulsar J1906+0746
D. R. Lorimer, I. H. Stairs, P. C. C. Freire +33
We report the discovery of PSR J1906+0746, a young 144-ms pulsar in a highly relativistic 3.98-hr orbit with an eccentricity of 0.085 and expected gravitational wave coalescence ti…
Infrared power-law galaxies in the Chandra Deep Field South: AGN and ULIRGs
A. Alonso-Herrero, P. G. Perez-Gonzalez, D. M. Alexander +12
We investigate the nature of a sample of 92 Spitzer/MIPS 24 micron selected galaxies in the CDFS, showing power law-like emission in the Spitzer/IRAC 3.6-8 micron bands. The main g…
A Spectroscopic Analysis of Blue Stragglers, Horizontal Branch and Turn-Off Stars in Four Globular Clusters
Orsola De Marco, Michael M. Shara, D. Zurek +4
We present a spectroscopic analysis of HST/STIS and FOS low- and intermediate-resolution spectroscopy of 55 stars (turn-off stars, horizontal branch stars and blue stragglers) in f…
Photometric Identification of Type Ia Supernovae at Moderate Redshift
Benjamin D. Johnson, Arlin P. S. Crotts
Large photometric surveys with the aim of identifying many Type Ia supernovae (SNe) at moderate redshift are challenged in separating these SNe from other SN types. We are motivate…
