The 2008 outburst of EX Lup - silicate crystals in motion

Attila Juhasz, Cornelis Dullemond, Roy van Boekel +12

EX Lup is the prototype of the EXor class of eruptive young stars. These objects show optical outbursts which are thought to be related to runaway accretion onto the star. In a pre…

Optical and infrared properties of active galactic nuclei in the Lockman Hole

E. Rovilos, S. Fotopoulou, M. Salvato +4

We present the observed-frame optical, near- and mid-infrared properties of X-ray selected AGN in the Lockman Hole. Using a likelihood ratio method on optical, near-infrared or mid…

A search for gravitational waves associated with the August 2006 timing glitch of the Vela pulsar

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +499

The physical mechanisms responsible for pulsar timing glitches are thought to excite quasi-normal mode oscillations in their parent neutron star that couple to gravitational wave e…

An X-ray Selected Galaxy Cluster in the Lockman Hole at Redshift 1.753

J. Patrick Henry, Mara Salvato, Alexis Finoguenov +12

We have discovered an X-ray selected galaxy cluster with a spectroscopic redshift of 1.753. The redshift is of the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG), which is coincident with the peak…

The Extended Chandra Deep Field-South Survey: Optical spectroscopy of faint X-ray sources with the VLT and Keck

J. D. Silverman, V. Mainieri, M. Salvato +26

We present the results of a program to acquire high-quality optical spectra of X-ray sources detected in the E-CDF-S and its central area. New spectroscopic redshifts are measured…

The Swift/Fermi GRB 080928 from 1 eV to 150 keV

A. Rossi, S. Schulze, S. Klose +28

We present the results of a comprehensive study of the gamma-ray burst 080928 and of its afterglow. GRB 080928 was a long burst detected by Swift/BAT and Fermi/GBM. It is one of th…
