Detecting Intracluster Gas Motion in Galaxy Clusters: Mock Astro-E2 Observations
Andrew Pawl, August E. Evrard, Renato A. Dupke
We explore the detectability of bulk motions in the X-ray emitting intracluster medium (ICM) using a catalog of 1,836 mock Astro-E2 observations of simulated clusters of galaxies.…
Rapid Optical Followup Observations of SGR Events with ROTSE-I
ROTSE Collaboration, C. Akerlof, R. Balsano +17
In order to observe nearly simultaneous emission from Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs), the Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment (ROTSE) receives triggers via the GRB Coordinates Net…
Prompt Optical Observations of Gamma-ray Bursts
Carl Akerlof, Richard Balsano, Scott Barthelmy +18
The Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment (ROTSE) seeks to measure simultaneous and early afterglow optical emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). A search for optical counte…
ROTSE All Sky Surveys for Variable Stars I: Test Fields
ROTSE Collaboration, C. Akerlof, S. Amrose +14
The ROTSE-I experiment has generated CCD photometry for the entire Northern sky in two epochs nightly since March 1998. These sky patrol data are a powerful resource for studies of…
Prompt Optical Emission from Gamma-ray Bursts
Robert Kehoe, Carl Akerlof, Richard Balsano +19
The Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment (ROTSE) seeks to measure contemporaneous and early afterglow optical emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). The ROTSE-I telescope ar…
Modeling W44 as a Supernova Remnant in a Density Gradient, with a Partially Formed Dense Shell and Thermal Conduction in the Hot Interior
R. L. Shelton, Donald P. Cox, Witold Maciejewski +4
(shortened version) We show that many observations of W44, a supernova remnant in the galactic plane at a distance of about 2500 pc, are remarkably consistent with the simplest rea…
