The Chandra Multi-wavelength Project (ChaMP): a serendipitous survey with Chandra archival data
B. J. Wilkes, P. Green, R. Brissenden +34
The launch of the Chandra X-ray Observatory in July 1999 opened a new era in X-ray astronomy. Its unprecedented, <0.5" spatial resolution and low background are providing views of…
Timing Analysis of the Light Curve of the Dipping-Bursting X-ray Binary X1916-053
Y. Chou, J. E. Grindlay, P. F. Bloser
We present the timing analysis results for our observations of the x-ray dip source X1916-053 conducted with RXTE between February and October of 1996. Our goal was to finally meas…
Stellar Variability in the Globular Cluster Terzan 5
P. D. Edmonds, J. E. Grindlay, H. N. Cohn +1
We present the results of a search for variability in and near the core of the metal-rich, obscured globular cluster Terzan 5, using NICMOS on HST. This extreme cluster has approxi…
Construction and Testing of a Pixellated CZT Detector and Shield for a Hard X-ray Astronomy Balloon Flight
P. F. Bloser, T. Narita, J. A. Jenkins +1
We report on the construction and laboratory testing of pixellated CZT detectors mounted in a flip-chip, tiled fashion and read out by an ASIC, as required for proposed hard X-ray…
Development of Gold Contacted Flip-chip Detectors with IMARAD CZT
T. Narita, P. F. Bloser, J. E. Grindlay +1
We present initial results from our evaluation of a gold-contacted pixellated detector using cadmium zinc telluride substrate produced by IMARAD Imaging Systems. The Horizontal Bri…
ASCA Observations of GX 354-0 and KS 1731-260
T. Narita, J. E. Grindlay, D. Barret
We report on ASCA observations of the low mass X-ray binaries GX 354-0 and KS 1731-260. The spectrum of GX 354-0 is best described as a power-law or a Comptonized spectrum with tau…
