IR Contamination in Galactic X-Ray Novae
Mark T. Reynolds, Paul J. Callanan, Edward L. Robinson +1
The most widely used means of measuring the mass of black holes in Galactic binaries - specifically the X-ray novae - involves both radial velocity measurements of the secondary st…
Near-Infrared Spectra of the Black Hole X-Ray Binary, A0620-00
C. S. Froning, E. L. Robinson, M. A. Bitner
We present broadband NIR spectra of A0620-00 obtained with SpeX on the IRTF. The spectrum is characterized by a blue continuum on which are superimposed broad emission lines of HI…
Towards a pure ZZ Ceti instability strip
B. G. Castanheira, S. O. Kepler, A. F. M. Costa +8
We have observed again two stars inside the ZZ Ceti instability strip that were previously classified as not-observed-to-vary (NOV) by Mukadam et al. (2004) and found them to be lo…
Low Carbon Abundance in Type Ia Supernovae
G. H. Marion, P. Hoeflich, J. C. Wheeler +3
We investigate the quantity and composition of unburned material in the outer layers of three normal Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia): 2000dn, 2002cr and 20 04bw. Pristine matter from a…
No Universality for Electron's Power-Law Index (p) in Gamma-Ray Bursts and Other Relativistic Sources
R. -F. Shen, P. Kumar, E. L. Robinson
The Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) prompt emission is believed to be from highly relativistic electrons accelerated in relativistic shocks. From the GRB high-energy power-law spectral indic…
Observational Constraints Upon Cool Disk Material in Quiescent Black Hole Binaries
R. I. Hynes, E. L. Robinson, M. Bitner
We consider current observational constraints on the presence of cool, optically thick disk material in quiescent black hole binaries, specifically focusing on a case study of the…
