Correlation of the highest-energy cosmic rays with the positions of nearby active galactic nuclei
The Pierre Auger Collaboration
Data collected by the Pierre Auger Observatory provide evidence for anisotropy in the arrival directions of the cosmic rays with the highest energies, which are correlated with the…
Sequential Analysis Techniques for Correlation Studies in Particle Astronomy
S. Y. BenZvi, B. M. Connolly, S. Westerhoff
Searches for statistically significant correlations between arrival directions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays and classes of astrophysical objects are common in astroparticle phy…
A New Determination of the High Redshift Type Ia Supernova Rates with the Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys
N. Kuznetsova, K. Barbary, B. Connolly +27
We present a new measurement of the volumetric rate of Type Ia supernova up to a redshift of 1.7, using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) GOODS data combined with an additional HST…
Measurement of Aerosols at the Pierre Auger Observatory
S. Y. BenZvi, F. Arqueros, R. Cester +38
The air fluorescence detectors (FDs) of the Pierre Auger Observatory are vital for the determination of the air shower energy scale. To compensate for variations in atmospheric con…
New method for atmospheric calibration at the Pierre Auger Observatory using FRAM, a robotic astronomical telescope
Segev BenZvi, Martina Bohacova, Brian Connolly +16
FRAM - F/(Ph)otometric Robotic Atmospheric Monitor is the latest addition to the atmospheric monitoring instruments of the Pierre Auger Observatory. An optical telescope equipped w…
Measurement of the Aerosol Phase Function at the Pierre Auger Observatory
S. Y. BenZvi, B. M. Connolly, J. A. J. Matthews +3
Air fluorescence detectors measure the energy of ultra-high energy cosmic rays by collecting fluorescence light emitted from nitrogen molecules along the extensive air shower casca…
