Evidence for Widespread Hydrogen Sequestration within the Moon's South Polar Cold Traps

Timothy P. McClanahan, J. J. Su, Richard D. Starr +5

The measured neutron flux from the Moons south polar region shows evidence of locally enhanced hydrogen concentrations, likely in the form of water ice, within most permanently sha…

Probing the Nature of Short Swift Bursts via Deep INTEGRAL Monitoring of GRB 050925

T. Sakamoto, L. Barbier, S. D. Barthelmy +10

We present results from Swift, XMM-Newton, and deep INTEGRAL monitoring in the region of GRB 050925. This short Swift burst is a candidate for a newly discovered soft gamma-ray rep…
