Lord of the Rings: A Kinematic Distance to Circinus X-1 from a Giant X-Ray Light Echo
Sebastian Heinz, Michael G. Burton, Catherine Braiding +6
Circinus X-1 exhibited a bright X-ray flare in late 2013. Follow-up observations with Chandra and XMM-Newton from 40 to 80 days after the flare reveal a bright X-ray light echo in…
Calcium-Rich Gap Transients: Tidal Detonations of White Dwarfs?
P. H. Sell, T. J. Maccarone, R. Kotak +2
We hypothesize that at least some of the recently discovered class of calcium-rich gap transients are tidal detonation events of white dwarfs (WDs) by black holes (BHs) or possibly…
Extended Red Emission in High-Galactic Latitude Interstellar Clouds
A. N. Witt, S. Mandel, P. H. Sell +2
Nearby interstellar clouds at high Galactic latitudes are ideal objects in which the interaction of interstellar dust with photons from the well-characterized interstellar radiatio…
The Excitation of Extended Red Emission: New Constraints on its Carrier From HST Observations of NGC 7023
Adolf N. Witt, Karl D. Gordon, Uma P. Vijh +3
The carrier of the dust-associated photoluminescence process causing the extended red emission (ERE) in many dusty interstellar environments remains unidentified. Several competing…
