Cataclysmic Variables and Other Compact Binaries in the Globular Cluster NGC 362: Candidates from Chandra and HST

Bruce Margon, B. Beck-Winchatz, L. Homer +7

Highly sensitive and precise X-ray imaging from Chandra, combined with the superb spatial resolution of HST optical images, dramatically enhances our empirical understanding of com…

Using the X-ray Morphologies of Young Supernova Remnants to Constrain Explosion Type, Ejecta Distribution, and Chemical Mixing

Laura A. Lopez, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz, Daniela Huppenkothen +2

Supernova remnants (SNRs) are a complex class of sources, and their heterogeneous nature has hindered the characterization of their general observational properties. To overcome th…

Luminous X-Ray Sources in Arp 147

S. Rappaport, A. Levine, D. Pooley +1

The Chandra X-Ray Observatory was used to image the collisional ring galaxy Arp 147 for 42 ks. We detect 9 X-ray sources with luminosities in the range of 1.4 - 7 x 10^{39} ergs/se…

Aspherical Supernova Shock Breakout and the Observations of Supernova 2008D

Sean M. Couch, David Pooley, J. Craig Wheeler +1

Shock breakout is the earliest, readily-observable emission from a core-collapse supernova explosion. Observing supernova shock breakout may yield information about the nature of t…

Sizes and Temperature Profiles of Quasar Accretion Disks from Chromatic Microlensing

Jeffrey A. Blackburne, David Pooley, Saul Rappaport +1

Microlensing perturbations to the flux ratios of gravitationally lensed quasar images can vary with wavelength because of the chromatic dependence of the accretion disk's apparent…

A bright off-nuclear X-ray source: A bright off-nuclear X-ray source: a type IIn supernova, a bright ULX or a recoiling super-massive black hole in CXO J122518.6+144545

P. G. Jonker, M. A. P. Torres, A. C. Fabian +3

In this Paper we report the discovery of CXO J122518.6+144545; a peculiar X-ray source with a position 3.6+-0.2",off-nuclear from an SDSS DR7 z=0.0447 galaxy. The 3.6" offset corre…
