Repetitive Patterns in Rapid Optical Variations in the Nearby Black-hole Binary V404 Cygni
Mariko Kimura, Keisuke Isogai, Taichi Kato +65
How black holes accrete surrounding matter is a fundamental, yet unsolved question in astrophysics. It is generally believed that matter is absorbed into black holes via accretion…
Revisiting the lifetime estimate of large presolar grains in the interstellar medium
Hiroyuki Hirashita, Takaya Nozawa, Ryosuke S. Asano +1
Some very large (>0.1 um) presolar grains are sampled in meteorites. We reconsider the lifetime of very large grains (VLGs) in the interstellar medium focusing on interstellar shat…
Protosolar Irradiation in the Early Solar System: Clues from Lithium and Boron Isotopes
Ming-Chang Liu, Larry R. Nittler, Conel M. O'D. Alexander +1
We report Li and B isotopic compositions of 10 Spinel-HIBonite spherules (SHIBs) separated from the Murchison meteorite, in order to understand their irradiation history in the ear…
The TAOS Project: Upper Bounds on the Population of Small KBOs and Tests of Models of Formation and Evolution of the Outer Solar System
F. B. Bianco, Z. -W. Zhang, M. J. Lehner +23
We have analyzed the first 3.75 years of data from TAOS, the Taiwanese American Occultation Survey. TAOS monitors bright stars to search for occultations by Kuiper Belt Objects (KB…
The Irradiation Origin of Beryllium Radioisotopes and Other Short-lived Radionuclides
Matthieu Gounelle, Frank H. Shu, Hsien Shang +3
Two explanations exist for the short-lived radionuclides present in the solar system when the CAIs first formed. They originated either from the ejecta of a supernova or by the in…
Molecular Gas and the Modest Star Formation Efficiency in the ``Antennae'' Galaxies: Arp~244=NGC 4038/39
Yu Gao, K. Y. Lo, S. -W. Lee +1
(abridged) We report here a factor of 5.7 higher total CO flux in Arp~244 (the ``Antennae'' galaxies) than that previously accepted in the literature (thus a total molecular gas ma…
