A Long-term Study of Ultraluminous X-ray Sources in NGC 891
Nicholas M. Earley, Vikram V. Dwarkadas, Victoria Cirillo
We perform empirical fits to the \emph{Chandra} and \emph{XMM-Newton} spectra of three ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) in the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 891, monitoring the regio…
Can the Fe K-alpha Line Reliably Predict Supernova Remnant Progenitors?
Jared Siegel, Vikram V. Dwarkadas, Kari A. Frank +1
The centroid energy of the Fe K line has been used to identify the progenitors of supernova remnants (SNRs). These investigations generally considered the energy of the centroid…
X-ray Luminosity of Decades-Old Supernovae
Vandana Ramakrishnan, Vikram V. Dwarkadas
The transition from supernovae (SNe) to supernova remnants (SNRs) remains poorly understood, given the age gap between well-studied examples of the two. In order to bridge this gap…
Two Decades of Education and Public Outreach with Chicago Public Schools
Vikram V. Dwarkadas
Over the past two decades, I have been actively involved in teaching astronomy and astrophysics to Chicago Public School (CPS) students and their teachers, in collaboration with va…
Origin and role of relativistic cosmic particles
A. Araudo, G. Morlino, B. Olmi +121
This white paper briefly summarizes the importance of the study of relativistic cosmic rays, both as a constituent of our Universe, and through their impact on stellar and galactic…
Probing extreme environments with the Cherenkov Telescope Array
C. Boisson, A. M. Brown, A. Burtovoi +127
The physics of the non-thermal Universe provides information on the acceleration mechanisms in extreme environments, such as black holes and relativistic jets, neutron stars, super…
