We perform a three-dimensional multi-probe analysis of the rich galaxy cluster A1689, one of the most powerful known lenses on the sky, by combining improved weak-lensing data from new wide-field {{BVR}}Ci\prime z\prime Subaru/Suprime-Cam observations with strong-lensing, X-ray, and Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect (SZE) data sets. We reconstr…

Pressure distribution of the high-redshift cluster of galaxies CL J1226.9+3332 with NIKA
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201425140 Bibcode: 2015A&A...576A..12A

Adam, R.; Benoît, A.; Catalano, A. +37 more

The thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect is expected to provide a low scatter mass proxy for galaxy clusters since it is directly proportional to the cluster thermal energy. The tSZ observations have proven to be a powerful tool for detecting and studying them, but high angular resolution observations are now needed to push their investigation …

NuSTAR Observations of the Compton-thick Active Galactic Nucleus and Ultraluminous X-Ray Source Candidate in NGC 5643
DOI: 10.1088/0004-637X/815/1/36 Bibcode: 2015ApJ...815...36A

Rigby, J. R.; Harrison, F. A.; Stern, D. +22 more

We present two Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) observations of the local Seyfert 2 active galactic nucleus (AGN) and an ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) candidate in NGC 5643. Together with archival data from Chandra, XMM-Newton, and Swift-BAT, we perform a high-quality broadband spectral analysis of the AGN over two decades in ener…

Connecting GRBs and ULIRGs: A Sensitive, Unbiased Survey for Radio Emission from Gamma-Ray Burst Host Galaxies at 0 < z < 2.5
DOI: 10.1088/0004-637X/801/2/102 Bibcode: 2015ApJ...801..102P

Cenko, S. B.; Krühler, T.; Michałowski, M. J. +7 more

Luminous infrared galaxies and submillimeter galaxies contribute significantly to stellar mass assembly and provide an important test of the connection between the gamma-ray burst (GRB) rate and that of overall cosmic star formation. We present sensitive 3 GHz radio observations using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array of 32 uniformly selected GR…

ZFIRE: Galaxy Cluster Kinematics, H alpha Star Formation Rates, and Gas Phase Metallicities of XMM-LSS J02182-05102 at zcl = 1.6232

Kewley, Lisa J.; Saintonge, Amélie; Kacprzak, Glenn G. +11 more

We spectroscopically survey the galaxy cluster XMM-LSS J02182-05102 (hereafter IRC 0218) using LRIS (optical) and MOSFIRE (near-infrared) on Keck I as part of the ZFIRE survey. IRC 0218 has a narrow redshift range of 1.612 \lt {z}{spec} \lt 1.635 defined by 33 members of which 20 are at R{}{proj} \lt 1 Mpc. The cluster redshi…

The Influence of Supernova Remnants on the Interstellar Medium in the Large Magellanic Cloud Seen at 20-600 µm Wavelengths
DOI: 10.1088/0004-637X/799/1/50 Bibcode: 2015ApJ...799...50L

Temim, Tea; Okumura, K.; Bot, Caroline +20 more

We present the analysis of supernova remnants (SNRs) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and their influence on the environment at far-infrared (FIR) and submillimeter wavelengths. We use new observations obtained with the Herschel Space Observatory and archival data obtained with the Spitzer Space Telescope, to make the first FIR atlas of these o…

Field-aligned currents in Saturn's northern nightside magnetosphere: Evidence for interhemispheric current flow associated with planetary period oscillations
DOI: 10.1002/2015JA021454 Bibcode: 2015JGRA..120.7552H

Coates, A. J.; Dougherty, M. K.; Alexeev, I. I. +6 more

We investigate the magnetic perturbations associated with field-aligned currents observed on 34 Cassini passes over the premidnight northern auroral region during 2008. These are found to be significantly modulated not only by the northern planetary-period oscillation (PPO) system, similar to the southern currents by the southern PPO system found …

The Complex Gas Kinematics in the Nucleus of the Seyfert 2 Galaxy NGC 1386: Rotation, Outflows, and Inflows
DOI: 10.1088/0004-637X/806/1/84 Bibcode: 2015ApJ...806...84L

Schnorr-Müller, A.; Robinson, A.; Nagar, N. M. +6 more

We present optical integral field spectroscopy of the circum-nuclear gas of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1386. The data cover the central 7″ × 9″ (530 × 680 pc) at a spatial resolution of 0.″ 9 (68 pc), and the spectral range 5700-7000 Å at a resolution of 66 km s-1. The line emission is dominated by a bright central component, with two lob…

Joint High Temperature Observation of a Small C6.5 Solar Flare With Iris/Eis/Aia

We present the observation of a C6.5 class flare on 2014 February 3, obtained with the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) and the EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) on board HINODE. We follow the details of the impulsive phase with IRIS and the gradual decay phase with both IRIS and EIS. The IRIS Slit-Jaw Imager and Atmospheric Imaging Assem…
