Chandra Spectra of the Soft X-ray Diffuse Background
M. Markevitch, M. W. Bautz, B. Biller +14
We present an exploratory Chandra ACIS-S3 study of the diffuse component of the Cosmic X-ray Background in the 0.3-7 keV band for four directions at high Galactic latitudes, with e…
The Extraordinary X-ray Light Curve of the Classical Nova V1494 Aquilae (1999 #2) in Outburst: The Discovery of Pulsations and a "Burst"
Jeremy J. Drake, R. Mark Wagner, Sumner Starrfield +12
V1494 Aql (Nova Aql 1999 No. 2) was discovered on 2 December 1999. We obtained Chandra ACIS-I spectra on 15 April and 7 June 2000 which appear to show only emission lines. Our thir…
Supernova remnants and gamma-ray sources
Diego F. Torres, Gustavo E. Romero, Thomas M. Dame +2
A review of the possible relationship between gamma-ray sources and supernova remnants (SNRs) is presented. Particular emphasis is given to the analysis of the observational status…
Jet-Induced Nucleosynthesis in Misaligned Microquasars
Yousaf M. Butt, Thomas J. Maccarone, Nikos Prantzos
The jet axes and the orbital planes of microquasar systems are usually assumed to be approximately perpendicular, eventhough this is not currently an observational requirement. On…
Supernova-Remnant Origin of Cosmic Rays?
Yousaf M. Butt, Diego F. Torres, Gustavo E. Romero +2
It is thought that Galactic cosmic ray (CR) nuclei are gradually accelerated to high energies (up to ~300 TeV/nucleon, where 1TeV=10^12eV) in the expanding shock-waves connected wi…
Molecular Beam Dumps as Tracers of Hadronic Cosmic Ray Sources: the Case of SNR IC443
Yousaf M. Butt, Diego F. Torres, Jorge A. Combi +2
The gamma-ray & neutrino visibility of cosmic ray (CR) accelerators will be dramatically increased by the presence of molecular material abutting such sites due to the increased pr…
