Minutes-duration Optical Flares with Supernova Luminosities

Anna Y. Q. Ho, Daniel A. Perley, Ping Chen +74

In recent years, certain luminous extragalactic optical transients have been observed to last only a few days. Their short observed duration implies a different powering mechanism…

STARE2: Detecting Fast Radio Bursts in the Milky Way

Christopher D. Bochenek, Daniel L. McKenna, Konstantin V. Belov +5

There are several unexplored regions of the short-duration radio transient phase space. One such unexplored region is the luminosity gap between giant pulses (from pulsars) and cos…

Scientific Results from High-precision Astrometry at the Palomar Testbed Interferometer

Matthew W. Muterspaugh, Benjamin F. Lane, Maciej Konacki +4

A new observing mode for the Palomar Testbed Interferometer was developed in2002-2003 which enables differential astrometry at the level of 20 micro-arcseconds for binary systems w…

A possible faint near-infrared counterpart to the AXP 1E~2259+58.6

F. Hulleman, A. F. Tennant, M. H. van Kerkwijk +3

We present near-infrared and optical observations of the field of the Anomalous X-ray Pulsar 1E 2259+58.6 taken with the Keck telescope. We derive a subarcsecond Chandra position a…

Electrodynamics of Magnetars: Implications for the Persistent X-ray Emission and Spindown of the Soft Gamma Repeaters and Anomalous X-ray Pulsars

C. Thompson, M. Lyutikov, S. R. Kulkarni

(ABBREVIATED) We consider the structure of neutron star magnetospheres threaded by large-scale electrical currents, and the effect of resonant Compton scattering by the charge carr…
