Observational Astrophysics Research through Cross Institutional Research Partnerships
Kristen C. Dage, Linda Strubbe, Rhianna Taub +16
Undergraduate research in STEM can be a transformative experience, especially for Community College students, many of whom come from under-represented backgrounds. However, undergr…
Classifying Compact Radio Emission in Nearby Galaxies: a 10GHz Study of Active Galactic Nuclei, Supernovae, Anomalous Microwave Emission and Star Forming Regions
Kristen C. Dage, Eric W. Koch, Evangelia Tremou +19
We present 115 compact radio point sources in three galaxies, NGC 5474, NGC 4631 and M51, taken in the most extended (A-)configuration of the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array at 10G…
Radio Continuum Studies of Ultra-Compact and Short Orbital Period X-Ray Binaries
Kristen C. Dage, Teresa Panurach, Kwangmin Oh +14
We present the radio continuum counterparts to the enigmatic ultra-compact X-ray binaries (UCXBs); a black hole or neutron star accreting from a hydrogen-deficient white dwarf dono…
PSR J1947-1120: A New Huntsman Millisecond Pulsar Binary
Jay Strader, Paul S. Ray, Ryan Urquhart +11
We present the discovery of PSR J1947-1120, a new huntsman millisecond pulsar with a red giant companion star in a 10.3 d orbit. This pulsar was found via optical, X-ray, and radio…
Detecting the Black Hole Candidate Population in M51's Young Massive Star Clusters: Constraints on Accreting Intermediate Mass Black Holes
Kristen C. Dage, Evangelia Tremou, Bolivia Cuevas Otahola +24
Intermediate mass black holes (10^2 < M_BH< 10^5 Msun) are an open question in our understanding of black hole evolution and growth. They have long been linked to dense star cluste…
Do Neutron Star Ultra-Luminous X-Ray Sources Masquerade as Intermediate Mass Black Holes in Radio and X-Ray?
Teresa Panurach, Kristen C. Dage, Ryan Urquhart +8
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) were once largely believed to be powered by super-Eddington accretion onto stellar-mass black holes, although in some rare cases, ULXs also serve…
