LSST: from Science Drivers to Reference Design and Anticipated Data Products

Željko Ivezić, Steven M. Kahn, J. Anthony Tyson +310

(Abridged) We describe here the most ambitious survey currently planned in the optical, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). A vast array of science will be enabled by a sin…

Time Domain Studies of X-ray Shot Noise in Cygnus X-1

Warren Focke, Jean Swank, Larry Wai

We investigate the variability of Cygnus X-1 in the context of shot moise models, and employ a peak detection algorithm to select individual shots. For a long observation of the lo…

Observation of X-ray variability in the BL Lac object 1ES1959+65

Berrie Giebels, Elliott D. Bloom, Warren Focke +15

This paper reports X-ray spectral observations of a relatively nearby z = 0.048 BL Lacertae (BL Lac) object 1ES1959+650, which is a potential TeV emitter. The observations include…

Temporal Properties of Cygnus X-1 During the Spectral Transitions

Wei Cui, S. N. Zhang, W. Focke +1

We report the results from our timing analysis of 15 RXTE observations of Cygnus X-1 throughout its 1996 spectral transitions. The entire period can be divided into 3 distinct phas…

X-ray Variability of Cygnus X-1 In Its Soft State

W. Cui, S. N. Zhang, K. Jahoda +4

We reported previously that for Cyg X-1 there is a settling period following the transition from hard to soft state (astro-ph/9610071). During the transiton, The low energy spectru…
