NuGrid: Toward High Precision Double-Degenerate Merger Simulations with SPH in 3D
Steven Diehl, Christopher L. Fryer, Aimee Hungerford +11
We present preliminary results from recent high-resolution double-degenerate merger simulations with the Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) technique. We put particular emphasis o…
An anti-correlation between X-ray luminosity and H-alpha equivalent width in X-ray binaries
R. P. Fender, D. M. Russell, C. Knigge +3
We report an anticorrelation between continuum luminosity and the equivalent width (EW) of the H-alpha emission line in X-ray binary systems. The effect is evident both in a univer…
A dense disk of dust around the born-again Sakurai's object
Olivier Chesneau, G. C. Clayton, F. Lykou +7
In 1996, Sakurai's object (V4334 Sgr) suddenly brightened in the centre of a faint Planetary Nebula (PN). This very rare event was interpreted as the reignition of a hot white dwar…
The Dust-to-Gas Ratio in the Small Magellanic Cloud Tail
K. D. Gordon, C. Bot, E. Muller +21
The Tail region of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) was imaged using the MIPS instrument on the Spitzer Space Telescope as part of the SAGE-SMC Spitzer Legacy. Diffuse infrared emi…
Beyond ideal MHD: towards a more realistic modeling of relativistic astrophysical plasmas
Carlos Palenzuela, Luis Lehner, Oscar Reula +1
Many astrophysical processes involving magnetic fields and quasi-stationary processes are well described when assuming the fluid as a perfect conductor. For these systems, the idea…
The Diverse Solar Phase Curves of Distant Icy Bodies. II. The Cause of the Opposition Surges and Their Correlations
Bradley E. Schaefer, David L. Rabinowitz, Suzanne W. Tourtellotte
We collect well-measured opposition surge properties for many icy bodies orbiting the Sun (mostly from our own observations) plus for many icy moons, resulting in a data base of su…
Does The Addition of a Duration Improve the L_iso - E_peak Relation For Gamma-Ray Bursts?
Andrew C. Collazzi, Bradley E. Schaefer
Firmani et al. proposed a new Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) luminosity relation that showed a significant improvement over the L_iso-E_peak relation. The new proposed relation simply modif…
Search for Gravitational Wave Bursts from Soft Gamma Repeaters
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, S. Barthelmy, N. Gehrels +2
We present the results of a LIGO search for short-duration gravitational waves (GWs) associated with Soft Gamma Repeater (SGR) bursts. This is the first search sensitive to neutron…
Galactic Globular and Open Clusters in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. I. Crowded Field Photometry and Cluster Fiducial Sequences in ugriz
Deokkeun An, Jennifer A. Johnson, James L. Clem +22
We present photometry for globular and open cluster stars observed with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). In order to exploit over 100 million stellar objects with r < 22.5 mag…
Observation of the suppression of the flux of cosmic rays above 4x10^19eV
The Pierre Auger Collaboration
The energy spectrum of cosmic rays above 2.5x10^18eV, derived from 20,000 events recorded at the Pierre Auger Observatory, is described. The spectral index gamma of the flux, J ~ E…
Relativistic simulations of the phase-transition-induced collapse of neutron stars
E. B. Abdikamalov, H. Dimmelmeier, L. Rezzolla +1
An increase in the central density of a neutron star may trigger a phase transition from hadronic matter to deconfined quark matter in the core, causing it to collapse to a more co…
Baroclinic Generation of Potential Vorticity in an Embedded Planet-Disk System
Ji Jianghui, Ou Shangli, Liu Lin
We use a multi-dimensional hydrodynamics code to study the gravitational interaction between an embedded planet and a protoplanetary disk with emphasis on the generation of vortens…
Pluto's Light Curve in 1933-1934
Bradley E. Schaefer, Marc W. Buie, Luke Timothy Smith
We are reporting on a new accurate photographic light curve of Pluto for 1933-1934 when the heliocentric distance was 40 AU. We used 43 B-band and V-band images of Pluto on 32 plat…
Beating the spin-down limit on gravitational wave emission from the Crab pulsar
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott, R. Abbott +440
We present direct upper limits on gravitational wave emission from the Crab pulsar using data from the first nine months of the fifth science run of the Laser Interferometer Gravit…
Improved Cosmological Constraints from New, Old and Combined Supernova Datasets
M. Kowalski, D. Rubin, G. Aldering +67
We present a new compilation of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), a new dataset of low-redshift nearby-Hubble-flow SNe and new analysis procedures to work with these heterogeneous compi…
The Youthful Appearance of the 2003 EL61 Collisional Family
David L. Rabinowitz, Bradley E. Schaefer, Martha W. Schaefer +1
We present new solar phase curve observations of the 2003 EL61 collisional family showing that all the members have light-scattering properties similar to the bright icy satellites…
Nereid: Light Curve for 1999-2006 and a Scenario for its Variations
Bradley E. Schaefer, Suzanne W. Tourtellotte, David L. Rabinowitz +1
Nereid is a small irregular moon of Neptune that displays large-, moderate-, and small-amplitude photometric variations on both fast and slow time scales. The central mystery of Ne…
