Optical and Near-Infrared Photometry of Distant Galaxy Clusters
Dickinson, Mark; Eisenhardt, Peter R.; Stanford, S. A. +2 more
We present optical and near-infrared photometry of 45 clusters of galaxies at 0.1<z<1.3. Galaxy catalogs in each cluster were defined at the longest wavelength available, generally the K band, down to approximately 2 mag below M*. We include finding chart images of the band used for catalog definition. The photometry has been used…
Deuterium Abundance toward WD 0621-376: Results from the FUSE Mission
Sembach, K. R.; Moos, H. W.; Chayer, P. +5 more
Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer observations are presented for WD 0621-376, a DA white dwarf star in the local interstellar medium (LISM) at a distance of about 78 pc. The data have a signal-to-noise ratio of ~20-40 per 20 km s-1 resolution element and cover the wavelength range 905-1187 Å. LISM absorption is detected in the line…
Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph Observations of High-Velocity Interstellar Absorption-Line Profiles in the Carina Nebula
Walborn, Nolan R.; Danks, Anthony C.; Landsman, Wayne B. +1 more
An atlas of ultraviolet interstellar absorption-line profiles toward four stars in the Carina Nebula is presented. The observations have been made with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on the Hubble Space Telescope, with a resolving power of 114,000. Low-ionization, high-ionization, and excited-state lines from a wide array of chemical spe…
X-Ray Light Curves of Gamma-Ray Bursts Detected with the All-Sky Monitor on RXTE
Hurley, K.; Smith, D. A.; Levine, A. +6 more
We present X-ray light curves (1.5-12 keV) for 15 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the All-Sky Monitor (ASM) on the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer. We compare these soft X-ray light curves with count rate histories obtained by the high-energy (>12 keV) experiments BATSE, Konus-Wind, the BeppoSAX Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor, and the burst monitor on…
Speckle Observations of Composite Spectrum Stars with PISCO in 1993-1998
Festou, M. C.; Arnold, L.; Scardia, M. +8 more
We present speckle interferometry observations of 47 composite spectrum stars obtained between 1993 and 1998 at the Pic du Midi Observatory with the PISCO speckle camera. 76% of over 150 independent 10 minute sequences of observations led to a companion detection. Binary component angular separations ranged from 0.05" to 1.2". We also obtained a s…
A New Database of Observed Spectral Energy Distributions of Nearby Starburst Galaxies from the Ultraviolet to the Far-Infrared
Gordon, Karl D.; Calzetti, Daniela; Clayton, Geoffrey C. +3 more
We present a database of UV-to-FIR data of 83 nearby starburst galaxies. The galaxies are selected based upon the availability of IUE data. We have recalibrated the IUE UV spectra for these galaxies by incorporating the most recent improvements. For 45 of these galaxies we use observations by Storchi-Bergmann et al. and McQuade et al. for the spec…
