Planets in Stellar Clusters Extensive Search. IV. A detection of a possible transiting planet candidate in the open cluster NGC 2158
B. J. Mochejska, K. Z. Stanek, D. D. Sasselov +9
We have undertaken a long-term project, Planets in Stellar Clusters Extensive Search (PISCES), to search for transiting planets in open clusters. In this paper we present the resul…
The Rates of type I X-ray Bursts from Transients Observed with RXTE: Evidence for Black Hole Event Horizons
Ronald A. Remillard, Dacheng Lin, Randall L. Cooper +1
We measure the rates of type I X-ray bursts, as a function of the bolometric luminosity, from a likely complete sample of 37 non-pulsing transients (1996-2004). Our goals are to te…
On the Production and Survival of Carbon Fuel for Superbursts on Accreting Neutron Stars: Implications for Mass Donor Evolution
Randall L. Cooper, Banibrata Mukhopadhyay, Danny Steeghs +1
(abridged) We have investigated the physical conditions under which accreting neutron stars can both produce and preserve sufficient quantities of carbon fuel to trigger superburst…
