Chandra Observation of an X-ray Flare at Saturn: Evidence for Direct Solar Control on Saturn's Disk X-ray Emissions

Anil Bhardwaj, Ronald F. Elsner, J. Hunter Waite +3

Saturn was observed by Chandra ACIS-S on 20 and 26-27 January 2004 for one full Saturn rotation (10.7 hr) at each epoch. We report here the first observation of an X-ray flare from…

Optical and X-ray Observations of the Afterglow to XRF030723

N. Butler, A. Dullighan, P. Ford +6

The X-ray-flash XRF030723 was detected by the HETE satellite and rapidly disseminated, allowing for an optical transient to be detected ~1 day after the burst. We discuss observati…

Chandra Observations of the Optically Dark GRB030528

N. Butler, A. Dullighan, P. Ford +5

The X-ray-rich GRB030528 was detected by the HETE satellite and its localization was rapidly disseminated. However, early optical observations failed to detect a counterpart source…
