The Limiting Stellar Initial Mass for Black Hole Formation in Close Binary Systems

C. L. Fryer, A. Heger, N. Langer +1

We present models for the complete life and death of a 60 solar mass star evolving in a close binary system, from the main sequence phase to the formation of a compact remnant and…

A superburst from GX 3+1

Erik Kuulkers

I found one long X-ray flare from the X-ray burster GX 3+1 in almost 6 years of observations with the RXTE All Sky Monitor (ASM). The event had a peak flux of about 1.1 Crab (1.5-1…

Modelling Plerion Spectra and their Evolution

Yves A. Gallant, Eric van der Swaluw, John G. Kirk +1

We review recent theoretical developments on pulsar winds, their nebulae and relativistic shock acceleration, and show how they illuminate unsolved problems in plerion spectra, in…

The kinematics of lopsided galaxies

Edo Noordermeer, Linda S. Sparke, Stephen E. Levine

Lopsidedness is a common feature in galaxies, both in the distribution of light and in the kinematics. We investigate the kinematics of a model for lopsided galaxies that consists…

Photometric variability in the old open cluster M 67. II. General Survey

K. G. Stassun, M. van den Berg, R. D. Mathieu +1

We use differential CCD photometry to search for variability in BVI among 990 stars projected in and around the old open cluster M 67. In a previous paper we reported results for 2…

Photometric variability in the open cluster M67 I. Cluster members detected in X-rays

Maureen van den Berg, Keivan Stassun, Frank Verbunt +1

We study photometric variability among the optical counterparts of X-ray sources in the old open cluster M67. The two puzzling binaries below the giant branch are both variables: f…
