Dara Norman, Marcel Agueros, Timothy M. Brown +29
The NSF's Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowship (AAPF) is exceptional among the available postdoctoral awards in Astronomy and Astrophysics. The fellowship is one of t…
IR Monitoring of the Microquasar GRS 1915+105: Detection of Orbital and Superhump Signatures
Ethan T. Neil, Charles D. Bailyn, Bethany E. Cobb
We present the results of seven years of K-band monitoring of the low-mass X-ray binary GRS 1915+105. Positive correlations between the infrared flux and the X-ray flux and X-ray h…
Multi-wavelength afterglow observations of the high redshift GRB 050730
S. B. Pandey, A. J. Castro-Tirado, S. McBreen +22
GRB 050730 is a long duration high-redshift burst (z=3.967) discovered by Swift. The afterglow shows variability and is well monitored over a wide wavelength range. We present comp…
GRB 050408: An Atypical Gamma-Ray Burst as a Probe of an Atypical Galactic Environment
R. J. Foley, D. A. Perley, D. Pooley +14
The bright GRB 050408 was localized by HETE-II near local midnight, enabling an impressive ground-based followup effort as well as space-based followup from Swift. The Swift data f…
