Interstellar nanodiamonds: the carriers of mid-infrared emission bands?

A. P. Jones, L. d'Hendecourt

In this paper we pursue the natural consequences of the structure of nanodiamonds and their surface relaxation and reconstruction to surfaces exhibiting sp2 carbon atoms. We show t…

Calibration and First light of the Diabolo photometer at the Millimetre and Infrared Testa Grigia Observatory

A. Benoit, F. Zagury, N. Coron +26

We have designed and built a large-throughput dual channel photometer, Diabolo. This photometer is dedicated to the observation of millimetre continuum diffuse sources, and in part…

Lifetimes of 26Al and 34Cl in an astrophysical plasma

A. Coc, M. G. Porquet, F. Nowacki

We study here the onset of thermal equilibrium affecting the lifetimes of 26Al and 34Cl nuclei within a hot astrophysical photon gas. The 26Al isotope is of prime interest for gamm…

Gamma-ray emission from novae related to positron annihilation: constraints on its observability posed by new experimental nuclear data

M. Hernanz, J. Jose, A. Coc +2

Classical novae emit gamma-ray radiation at 511 keV and below, with a cut-off at around (20-30) keV, related to positron annihilation and its Comptonization in the expanding envelo…

Far Infrared Loud Quasars 1: Disturbed and Quiescent Quasars in the PG Survey

D. L. Clements

We use host galaxy imaging studies of the PG Quasar survey to compare the far-infrared (FIR) properties of quasars with disturbed and undisturbed host galaxies. By using survival a…

Combined Analysis of the Binary-Lens Caustic-Crossing Event MACHO 98-SMC-1

C. Afonso, C. Alcock, S. H. Rhie +2

We fit the data for the binary-lens microlensing event MACHO 98-SMC-1 from 5 different microlensing collaborations and find two distinct solutions characterized by binary separatio…

Red Companions to a z=2.15 Radio Loud Quasar

D. L. Clements

We have conducted observations of the environment around the z=2.15 radio loud quasar 1550-269 in search of distant galaxies associated either with it or the z=2.09 CIV absorber al…

ISOCAM spectro-imaging of the H2 rotational lines in the supernova remnant IC443

D. Cesarsky, P. Cox, G. Pineau des Forets +3

We report spectro-imaging observations of the bright western ridge of the supernova remnant IC 443 obtained with the ISOCAM circular variable filter (CVF) on board the Infrared Spa…

A Sunyaev-Zel'dovich map of the massive core in the luminous X-ray cluster RXJ1347-1145

E. Pointecouteau, M. Giard, A. Benoit +5

We have mapped the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich decrement (hereafter SZ) in the direction of the most luminous X-ray cluster known to date, RXJ1347-1145, at z=0.451. This has been achieved w…

Searching for non-gaussianity: Statistical tests

O. Forni, N. Aghanim

Non-gaussianity represents the statistical signature of physical processes such as turbulence. It can also be used as a powerful tool to discriminate between competing cosmological…

Dust in the Local Interstellar Wind

P. C. Frisch, J. M. Dorschner, J. Geiss +13

The gas-to-dust mass ratios found for interstellar dust within the Solar System, versus values determined astronomically for the cloud around the Solar System, suggest that large a…

Destriping of Polarized Data in a CMB Mission with a Circular Scanning Strategy

B. Revenu, A. Kim, R. Ansari +3

A major problem in Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy mapping, especially in a total-power mode, is the presence of low-frequency noise in the data streams. If unproperly…

350 Micron Dust Emission from High Redshift Objects

Dominic J. Benford, Pierre Cox, Alain Omont +2

We report observations of a sample of high redshift sources (1.8<z<4.7), mainly radio-quiet quasars, at 350 microns using the SHARC bolometer camera at the Caltech Submillimeter Ob…

Foregrounds and CMB Experiments: I. Semi-analytical estimates of contamination

François R. Bouchet, Richard Gispert

As Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) measurements are becoming more ambitious, the issue of foreground contamination is becoming more pressing. This is especially true at the level…

Water Ice, Silicate and PAH Emission Features in the ISO Spectrum of the Carbon-rich Planetary Nebula CPD-56 8032

Martin Cohen, M. J. Barlow, R. J. Sylvester +5

Combined ISO SWS and LWS spectroscopy is presented of the late WC-type planetary nebula nucleus CPD-56 8032 and its carbon-rich nebula. The extremely broad coverage (2.4-197 micron…
