V838 Monocerotis: A Geometric Distance from Hubble Space Telescope Polarimetric Imaging of its Light Echo
William B. Sparks, Howard E. Bond, Misty Cracraft +10
Following the outburst of the unusual variable star V838 Monocerotis in 2002, a spectacular light echo appeared. A light echo provides the possibility of direct geometric distance…
Synoptic studies of seventeen blazars detected in very high-energy gamma-rays
Robert Wagner
Since 2002, the number of detected blazars at gamma-ray energies above 100 GeV has more than doubled. I study 17 blazars currently known to emit E>100 GeV gamma rays. Their intrins…
A near-ultraviolet view of the Inner Region of M31 with the Large Binocular Telescope
G. Beccari, M. Bellazzini, G. Clementini +27
We present a 900 sec, wide-field U image of the inner region of the Andromeda galaxy obtained during the commissioning of the blue channel of the Large Binocular Camera mounted on…
The Neon Abundance in the Ejecta of QU Vul From Late-Epoch IR Spectra
Robert D. Gehrz, Charles E. Woodward, L. Andrew Helton +10
We present ground-based SpectroCam-10 mid-infrared, MMT optical, and Spitzer Space Telescope IRS mid-infrared spectra taken 7.62, 18.75, and 19.38 years respectively after the outb…
Long term monitoring of bright TeV Blazars with the MAGIC telescope
F. Goebel, M. Backes, T. Bretz +9
The MAGIC telescope has performed long term monitoring observations of the bright TeV Blazars Mrk421, Mrk501 and 1ES1959+650. Up to 40 observations, 30 to 60 minutes each have been…
Discovery of Very High Energy Gamma-Rays from the Distant Flat Spectrum Radio Quasar 3C 279 with the MAGIC Telescope
Masahiro Teshima, Elisa Prandini, Rudolf Bock +9
The quasar 3C 279 is one of the best-studied flat spectrum radio quasars. It is located at a comparatively large redshift of z=0.536: E>100 GeV observations of such distant sources…
