Swift X-Ray Observations of Classical Novae. II. The Super Soft Source Sample
Walter, Frederick M.; Drake, Jeremy J.; Woodward, Charles E. +9 more
The Swift gamma-ray burst satellite is an excellent facility for studying novae. Its rapid response time and sensitive X-ray detector provides an unparalleled opportunity to investigate the previously poorly sampled evolution of novae in the X-ray regime. This paper presents Swift observations of 52 Galactic/Magellanic Cloud novae. We included the…
The HETDEX Pilot Survey. I. Survey Design, Performance, and Catalog of Emission-line Galaxies
Finkelstein, Steven L.; Schneider, Donald P.; Blanc, Guillermo A. +23 more
We present a catalog of emission-line galaxies selected solely by their emission-line fluxes using a wide-field integral field spectrograph. This work is partially motivated as a pilot survey for the upcoming Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment. We describe the observations, reductions, detections, redshift classifications, line fluxes, …
Structure and Evolution of Debris Disks Around F-type Stars. I. Observations, Database, and Basic Evolutionary Aspects
Apai, D.; Pascucci, I.; Kovács, J. +11 more
Although photometric and spectroscopic surveys with the Spitzer Space Telescope remarkably increased the number of well-studied debris disks around A-type and Sun-like stars, detailed analyses of debris disks around F-type stars remained less frequent. Using the MIPS camera and the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) spectrograph, we searched for debris d…
Comparison of Millimeter-wave and X-Ray Emission in Seyfert Galaxies
Phillips, T. G.; Blain, A. W.; Monje, R. R.
We compare the emission at multiple wavelengths of an extended Seyfert galaxy sample, including both types of Seyfert nuclei. We use the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory to observe the CO J = 2-1 transition line in a sample of 45 Seyfert galaxies and detect 35 of them. The galaxies are selected by their joint soft X-ray (0.1-2.4 keV) and far-infr…
Finding Persistent Sources with the BeppoSAX/Wide Field Camera: An In-depth Analysis
Capitanio, F.; Bird, A. J.; Fiocchi, M. +2 more
During the operational life of the Italian/Dutch X-ray satellite (1996-2002), BeppoSAX, its two Wide Field Cameras (WFCs) performed observations that covered the full sky at different epochs. Although the majority of analysis performed on BeppoSAX WFC data concentrated on the detection of transient sources, we have now applied the same techniques …
