Infrared, submillimeter, and millimeter observations of the soft gamma-ray repeaters
Waters, L. B. F. M.; Hurley, K.; Kouveliotou, C. +9 more
The Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters appear to be a completely new manifestation of neutron stars. SGR 1806-20 and SGR 1900+14 may have highly unusual stellar counterparts, whose spectra peak in the far infrared. They have not been detected at submillimeter or millimeter wavelengths. Their infrared spectra appear to contain several components: the photosp…
Verifying the accuracy of the third interplanetary network: localization of the bursting pulsar GRO J1744-28 by triangulation
Cline, T.; Hurley, K.; Kouveliotou, C. +8 more
The bursting pulsar GRO J1744-28 is the first repeating source of intense bursts whose position is accurately known, which has become active since the establishment of the third interplanetary network. We show how observations of this object with Ulysses and BATSE can be used to verify many aspects of the triangulation method. Analysis of the prel…
Acceleration in energetics ions (~1MeV) in corotating interaction regions
Balogh, A.; Forsyth, R. J.; Goldstein, B. E. +4 more
We have correlated the ~1 MeV proton intensity (J) measured at corotating reverse shocks detected by Ulysses near the ecliptic plane and in the southern hemisphere with the shock strength and shock normal angle. We find that J is essentially independent of the shock strength below 29 degS, whereas between 29 deg and 41 degS J showed a good correla…
