Project Lyman: Quantifying 11 Gyrs of Metagalactic Ionizing Background Evolution
Stephan R. McCandliss, B-G Andersson, Nils Bergvall +23
The timing and duration of the reionization epoch is crucial to the emergence and evolution of structure in the universe. The relative roles that star-forming galaxies, active gala…
ACCESS: Enabling an Improved Flux Scale for Astrophysics
Mary Elizabeth Kaiser, Jeffrey W. Kruk, Stephan R. McCandliss +20
Improvements in the precision of the astrophysical flux scale are needed to answer fundamental scientific questions ranging from cosmology to stellar physics. The unexpected discov…
A Vigorous Explorer Program
Martin Elvis, Matthew Beasley, Roger Brissenden +47
Explorers have made breakthroughs in many fields of astrophysics. The science from both these missions contributed to three Nobel Prizes - Giacconi (2002), Mather, and Smoot (2006)…
Photometric Calibrations for 21st Century Science
Stephen Kent, Mary Elizabeth Kaiser, Susana E. Deustua +33
The answers to fundamental science questions in astrophysics, ranging from the history of the expansion of the universe to the sizes of nearby stars, hinge on our ability to make p…
Project Lyman
Stephan R. McCandliss, Jeffrey W. Kruk, William P. Blair +20
We explore the design of a space mission, Project Lyman, which has the goal of quantifying the ionization history of the universe from the present epoch to a redshift of z ~ 3. Obs…
An X-ray Spectral Analysis of the Central Regions of NGC 4593
L. W. Brenneman, C. S. Reynolds, J. Wilms +1
We present a detailed analysis of XMM-Newton EPIC-pn data for the Seyfert-1 galaxy NGC 4593. We discuss the X-ray spectral properties of this source as well as its variations with…
