Spectral and Timing Evolution of the Black Hole X-ray Nova 4U 1543-47 During its 2002 Outburst
S. Q. Park, J. M. Miller, J. E. McClintock +8
We present an X-ray spectral and timing analysis of 4U 1543-47 during its 2002 outburst based on 49 pointed observations obtained using the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). The…
Design, Implementation and Testing of the MAP Radiometers
N. Jarosik, C. L. Bennett, M. Halpern +12
The Microwave Anisotropy Probe (MAP) satellite, launched June 30, 2001, will produce full sky maps of the cosmic microwave background radiation in 5 frequency bands spanning 20 - 1…
Fe K emission and absorption features in XMM-Newton spectra of Mkn 766 - evidence for reprocessing in flare ejecta
K. A. Pounds, J. N. Reeves, K. L. Page +2
We report on the analysis of a long XMM-Newton EPIC observation in 2001 May of the Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxy Mkn 766. The 3-11 keV spectrum exhibits a moderately steep power law…
First Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Tests of Gaussianity
E. Komatsu, A. Kogut, M. Nolta +12
We present limits to the amplitude of non-Gaussian primordial fluctuations in the WMAP 1-year cosmic microwave background sky maps. A non-linear coupling parameter, f_NL, character…
First Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Beam Profiles and Window Functions
L. Page, C. Barnes, G. Hinshaw +11
Knowledge of the beam profiles is of critical importance for interpreting data from cosmic microwave background experiments. In this paper, we present the characterization of the i…
First Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Determination of Cosmological Parameters
D. N. Spergel, L. Verde, H. V. Peiris +14
WMAP precision data enables accurate testing of cosmological models. We find that the emerging standard model of cosmology, a flat Lambda-dominated universe seeded by nearly scale-…
