Can Streamer Blobs prevent the Buildup of the Interplanetetary Magnetic Field?

M. K. van Aalst, P. C. H. Martens, A. J. C. Beliën

Coronal Mass Ejections continuously drag closed magnetic field lines away from the Sun, adding new flux to the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). We propose that the outward-movi…

On the cosmic ray bound for models of extragalactic neutrino production

K. Mannheim, R. J. Protheroe, J. P. Rachen

We obtain the maximum diffuse neutrino intensity predicted by hadronic photoproduction models of the type which have been applied to the jets of active galactic nuclei or gamma ray…

X rays from old open clusters: M 67 and NGC 188

T. Belloni, F. Verbunt, R. D. Mathieu

We have observed the old open clusters M 67 and NGC 188 with the ROSAT PSPC. In M 67 we detect a variety of X-ray sources. The X-ray emission by a cataclysmic variable, a single ho…

The contribution of microlensing surveys to the distance scale

J. P. Beaulieu, W. J. de Wit

In the early nineties several teams started large scale systematic surveys of the Magellanic Clouds and the Galactic Bulge to search for microlensing effects. As a by product, thes…

Optical Observations of the Isolated Neutron Star RX J0720.4-3125

S. R. Kulkarni, M. H. van Kerkwijk

RX J0720.4-3125 is an unidentified bright soft X-ray source which shows pulsations at a 8.39 s period and has a thermal spectrum. We present deep B and R band images of its X-ray l…
