The Astrobiology Primer: An Outline of General Knowledge - Version 1, 2006
L. J. Mix, J. C. Armstrong, A. M. Mandell +20
Astrobiology, the study of life as a planetary phenomenon, aims to understand the fundamental nature of life on earth and the possibility of life elsewhere. To achieve this goal, a…
Cosmological Radiative Transfer Codes Comparison Project I: The Static Density Field Tests
Ilian T. Iliev, Benedetta Ciardi, Marcelo A. Alvarez +13
Radiative transfer simulations are now at the forefront of numerical astrophysics. They are becoming crucial for an increasing number of astrophysical and cosmological problems; at…
Probing the IGM/Galaxy Connection Toward PKS0405-123 I: UV Spectroscopy and Metal-Line Systems
Jason X. Prochaska, Hsiao-Wen Chen, J. Christopher Howk +2
We present results from an analysis of FUSE and HST/STIS spectroscopy of the z_em=0.57 quasar PKS0405-123. We focus on the intervening metal-line systems identified along the sight…
Thermonuclear burst physics with RXTE
D. K. Galloway, D. Chakrabarty, A. Cumming +3
Recently we have made measurements of thermonuclear burst energetics and recurrence times which are unprecedented in their precision, largely thanks to the sensitivity of the Rossi…
Chandra/HETGS Spectroscopy of the Galactic Black Hole GX 339-4: A Relativistic Iron Line and Evidence for a Seyfert-like Warm Absorber
J. M. Miller, J. Raymond, A. C. Fabian +9
We observed the Galactic black hole GX 339-4 with the Chandra High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer (HETGS) for 75 ksec during the decline of its 2002-2003 outburst. The se…
