Discovery of Variable Iron Fluorescence from Reflection Nebulae in the Galactic Center
M. P. Muno, F. K. Baganoff, W. N. Brandt +2
Based on three years of deep observations of the Galactic center with the Chandra X-ray Observatory, we report the discovery of changes in the intensities and morphologies of two h…
Which Stars Form Black Holes and Neutron Stars?
Michael P. Muno
I describe the current state of our knowledge of the mapping between the initial masses of stars and the compact objects -- particularly neutron stars and black holes -- that they…
The Origin of Diffuse X-ray and -ray Emission from the Galactic Center Region: Cosmic Ray Particles
F. Yusef-Zadeh, M. Muno, M. Wardle +1
(Abridged) The inner couple hundred pcs of our Galaxy is characterized by significant amount of synchrotron-emitting gas, which appears to co-exist with a large reservoir of molecu…
Thermonuclear (type-I) X-ray bursts observed by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer
Duncan K. Galloway, Michael P. Muno, Jacob M. Hartman +2
We have assembled a sample of 1187 thermonuclear (type-I) X-ray bursts from 48 accreting neutron stars by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer, spanning more than ten years. The sample…
Identification of the Infrared Counterpart to a Newly Discovered X-ray Source in the Galactic Center
V. J. Mikles, S. S. Eikenberry, M. P. Muno +2
We present first results of a campaign to find and identify new compact objects in the Galactic Center. Selecting candidates from a combination of Chandra and 2MASS survey data, we…
Mid-Infrared Emission from Dust around Quiescent Low-Mass X-ray Binaries
M. P. Muno, J. Mauerhan
We report the discovery of excess 4.5 and 8 micron emission from three quiescent black hole low-mass X-ray binaries, A 0620-00, GS 2023+338, and XTE J1118+480. The mid-infrared emi…
