Science with a lunar low-frequency array: from the dark ages of the Universe to nearby exoplanets
Sebastian Jester, Heino Falcke
Low-frequency radio astronomy is limited by severe ionospheric distortions below 50 MHz and complete reflection of radio waves below 10-30 MHz. Shielding of man-made interference f…
Jet-lag in Sgr A*: What size and timing measurements tell us about the central black hole in the Milky Way
Heino Falcke, Sera Markoff, Geoffrey C. Bower
The black hole at the Galactic Center, Sgr A*, is the prototype of a galactic nucleus at a very low level of activity. Its radio through submm-wave emission is known to come from a…
The soft X-ray properties of AGN from the CJF sample; A correlation analysis between soft X-ray and VLBI properties
S. Britzen, W. Brinkmann, R. M. Campbell +4
Context: We present the soft X-ray properties obtained in the ROSAT All-Sky survey and from pointed PSPC observations for the AGN in the complete flux-density limited Caltech-Jodre…
Is NGC 3108 transforming itself from an early to late type galaxy -- an astronomical hermaphrodite?
George Hau, Richard Bower, Virginia Kilborn +3
A common feature of hierarchical galaxy formation models is the process of "inverse" morphological transformation: a bulge dominated galaxy accretes a gas disk, dramatically reduci…
A parallel gravitational N-body kernel
Simon Portegies Zwart, Steve McMillan, Derek Groen +3
We describe source code level parallelization for the {\tt kira} direct gravitational -body integrator, the workhorse of the {\tt starlab} production environment for simulating…
Arp 220 - IC 4553/4: understanding the system and diagnosing the ISM
W. A. Baan
Arp220 is a nearby system in final stages of galaxy merger with powerful ongoing star-formation at and surrounding the two nuclei. Arp 220 was detected in HI absorption and OH Mega…
