A New Way to Resolve Cepheid Binaries
Nancy Remage Evans, Derck Massa
We have measured the centroid shift of low resolution HST FOC spectra as the dominant star changes from the Cepheid to the hot companion. With this approach we have resolved the AW…
Pulsar Polar Cap Heating and Surface Thermal X-Ray Emission II. Inverse Compton Radiation Pair Fronts
Alice K. Harding, Alexander Muslimov
We investigate the production of electron-positron pairs by inverse Compton scattered (ICS) photons above a pulsar polar cap (PC) and surface heating by returning positrons. This p…
Pulsar Polar Cap Heating and Surface Thermal X-Ray Emission I. Curvature Radiation Pair Fronts
Alice K. Harding, Alexander G. Muslimov
We investigate the effect of pulsar polar cap (PC) heating produced by positrons returning from the upper pair formation front. Our calculations are based on a self-consistent trea…
Detection of Doppler Shifted X-ray Line Profiles from the Wind of Zeta Puppis (O4f)
J. P. Cassinelli, N. A. Miller, W. L. Waldron +2
We report on a 67 ks HETG observation of the optically brightest early O-star, Zeta Pup (O4 f). Many resolved X-ray lines are seen in the spectra over a wavelength range of 5 to 25…
X-Ray Light Curves of Gamma-ray Bursts Detected with the All-Sky Monitor on RXTE
D. A. Smith, A. Levine, H. Bradt +6
We present X-ray light curves (1.5-12 keV) for fifteen gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the All-Sky Monitor on the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. We compare these soft X-ray light…
