Factors Contributing to Attitudinal Gains in Introductory Astronomy Courses
Adam S. Trotter, Daniel E. Reichart, Aaron P. LaCluyzé +1
Most students do not enroll in introductory astronomy as part of their major; for many, it is the last science course they will ever take. Thus, it has great potential to shape stu…
Skynet Algorithm for Single-Dish Radio Mapping I: Contaminant-Cleaning, Mapping, and Photometering Small-Scale Structures
J. R. Martin, D. E. Reichart, D. A. Dutton +22
We present a single-dish mapping algorithm with a number of advantages over traditional techniques. (1) Our algorithm makes use of weighted modeling, instead of weighted averaging,…
Colour variations in the GRB 120327A afterglow
A. Melandri, S. Covino, E. Zaninoni +42
We present a comprehensive temporal and spectral analysis of the long Swift GRB 120327A afterglow data to investigate the possible causes of the observed early time colour variatio…
GRB 141221A: gone is the wind
O. Bardho, B. Gendre, A. Rossi +7
GRB 141221A was observed from infrared to soft gamma-ray bands. Here, we investigate its properties, in light of the standard model. We find that the optical light curve of the aft…
PROMPT Observations of the Early-Time Optical Afterglow of GRB 060607A
M. Nysewander, D. E. Reichart, J. A. Crain +5
PROMPT (Panchromatic Robotic Optical Monitoring and Polarimetry Telescopes) observed the early-time optical afterglow of GRB 060607A and obtained a densely sampled multiwavelength…
The Geometry of and Mass Accretion Rate through the Maser Accretion Disk in NGC 4258
J. R. Herrnstein, J. M. Moran, L. J. Greenhill +1
A maximum likelihood analysis of the NGC 4258 maser positions and velocities reveals a ~2 sigma deviation from Keplerian motion in the projected rotation curve of the high-velocity…
