A Search for the Near-Infrared Counterpart to GCRT J1745-3009

D. L. Kaplan, S. D. Hyman, S. Roy +5

We present an optical/near-infrared search for a counterpart to the perplexing radio transient GCRT J1745-3009, a source located ~1 degree from the Galactic Center. Motivated by so…

A Precise Proper Motion for the Crab Pulsar, and the Difficulty of Testing Spin-Kick Alignment for Young Neutron Stars

D. L. Kaplan, S. Chatterjee, B. M. Gaensler +1

We present a detailed measurement of the proper motion of the Crab pulsar, with the primary goal of comparing the direction of its proper motion with the projected axis of its puls…

Demonstrated convergence of the equilibrium ensemble for a fast united-residue protein model

F. Marty Ytreberg, Svetlana Kh. Aroutiounian, Daniel M. Zuckerman

Due to the time-scale limitations of all-atom simulation of proteins, there has been substantial interest in coarse-grained approaches. Some methods, like "Resolution Exchange," [E…

Spectrally Dispersed K-Band Interferometric Observations of Herbig Ae/Be Sources: Inner Disk Temperature Profiles

J. A. Eisner, E. I. Chiang, B. F. Lane +1

We use spectrally dispersed near-IR interferometry data to constrain the temperature profiles of sub-AU-sized regions of 11 Herbig Ae/Be sources. We find that a single-temperature…

A Search for Fallback Disks in Four Young Supernova Remnants

Zhongxiang Wang, David L. Kaplan, Deepto Chakrabarty

We report on our search for the optical/infrared counterparts to the central compact objects in four young supernova remnants: Pup A, PKS 1209-52, RCW 103, and Cas A. The X-ray poi…

High Redshift Intergalactic C IV Abundance Measurements from the Near-Infrared Spectra of Two z~6 QSOs

Robert A. Simcoe

New measurements of the z~6 intergalactic CIV abundance are presented, using moderate resolution IR spectra of two QSOs taken with GNIRS on Gemini South. These data were systematic…
