The COMPTEL instrumental line background

G. Weidenspointner, M. Varendorff, U. Oberlack +8

The instrumental line background of the Compton telescope COMPTEL onboard the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory is due to the activation and/or decay of many isotopes. The major compon…

The DIRTY Model II: Self-Consistent Treatment of Dust Heating and Emission in a 3-D Radiative Transfer Code

K. A. Misselt, K. D. Gordon, G. C. Clayton +1

In this paper and a companion paper we present the DIRTY model, a Monte Carlo radiative transfer code, self-consistently including dust heating and emission, and accounting for the…

The DIRTY Model. I. Monte Carlo Radiative Transfer Through Dust

Karl D. Gordon, K. A. Misselt, Adolf N. Witt +1

We present the DIRTY radiative transfer model in this paper and a companion paper. This model computes the polarized radiative transfer of photons from arbitrary distributions of s…

Measurement of the Cosmic Ray Energy Spectrum and Composition from 10^{17} to 10^{18.3} eV Using a Hybrid Fluorescence Technique

T. Abu-Zayyad, K. Belov, D. J. Bird +44

We study the spectrum and average mass composition of cosmic rays with primary energies between 10^{17} eV and 10^{18} eV using a hybrid detector consisting of the High Resolution…

Non-Linear Evolution of the r-Modes in Neutron Stars

Lee Lindblom, Joel E. Tohline, Michele Vallisneri

The evolution of a neutron-star r-mode driven unstable by gravitational radiation (GR) is studied here using numerical solutions of the full non-linear fluid equations. The amplitu…

A Measurement of the Average Longitudinal Development Profile of Cosmic Ray Air Showers Between 10^{17}eV and 10^{18}eV

T. Abu-Zayyad et. al

The average extensive air shower longitudinal development profile as a function of shower age in the energy range from 10 to 10eV is measured using data from the hybr…

Putting The Together A Cyclical Baryonic Universe

David E. Rosenberg

There are multiple examples of gravitational losses in neutron stars and black holes. Protons and neutrons have been found to have enormous repulsive pressures that highly squeezed…

Dust Emission Features in NGC 7023 between 0.35 and 2.5 micron: Extended Red Emission (0.7 micron) and Two New Emission Features (1.15 and 1.5 micron)

K. D. Gordon, A. N. Witt, R. J. Rudy +6

We present 0.35 to 2.5 micron spectra of the south and northwest filaments in the reflection nebula NGC 7023. These spectra were used to test the theory of Seahra & Duley that carb…

Magellanic-Cloud-Type Interstellar Dust Along Low Density Sightlines in the Galaxy

Geoffrey C. Clayton, Karl D. Gordon, Michael J. Wolff

We have studied the UV extinction properties along 30 Galactic sightlines using data from the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) archive that have never been previously exami…
