Searching for the Precursors of Life in External Galaxies
B. Lawton, C. W. Churchill, B. A. York +5
Are the organic molecules crucial for life on Earth abundant in early-epoch galaxies? To address this, we searched for organic molecules in extragalactic sources via their absorpti…
A 610-MHz Galactic Plane Pulsar Search with the Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope
B. C. Joshi, M. A. McLaughlin, M. Kramer +5
We report on the discovery of three new pulsars in the first blind survey of the north Galactic plane (45 < l < 135 ; |b| < 1) with the Giant Meterwave Radio telescope (GMRT) at an…
Quantum key distribution using a triggered quantum dot source emitting near 1.3 microns
P. M. Intallura, M. B. Ward, O. Z. Karimov +5
We report the distribution of a cryptographic key, secure from photon number splitting attacks, over 35 km of optical fiber using single photons from an InAs quantum dot emitting ~…
Two populations are better than one: Short gamma-ray bursts from SGR giant flares and NS-NS mergers
Robert Chapman, Robert S. Priddey, Nial R. Tanvir
With a peak luminosity of ~10^47 erg/s, the December 27th 2004 giant flare from SGR1806-20 would have been visible by BATSE (the Burst and Transient Source Experiment) out to ~50 M…
Upper limits on the mass of supermassive black holes from STIS archival data
A. Beifiori, E. M. Corsini, E. Dalla Bonta' +4
The growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) appears to be closely linked with the formation of spheroids. There is a pressing need to acquire better statistics on SMBH masses, s…
Gamma-ray emission associated with the Cluster-scale AGN Outbursts in the Hydra A system
W. Domainko, J. A. Hinton, E. C. D. Pope
Recent observations have revealed the existence of an enormously energetic > 10^61 erg AGN outburst in the Hydra A cluster of galaxies. This outburst has produced cavities in the i…
