Flare-Associated Coronal Mass Ejections with Large Accelerations
DOI: 10.1086/424682 Bibcode: 2004ApJ...615.1011M

Moon, Y. -J.; Dryer, M.; Cho, K. S. +3 more

It is well known that while flare-associated coronal mass ejections (CMEs) show higher speeds and little acceleration in the corona, filament-associated CMEs have lower speeds and large accelerations. In this paper, we examine three flare-associated CMEs with relatively large accelerations as counterexamples of the former tendency. The estimated a…

Solar and solar-wind isotopic compositions
DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2004.03.025 Bibcode: 2004E&PSL.222..697W

Wimmer-Schweingruber, Robert F.; Wiens, Roger C.; Bochsler, Peter +1 more

With only a few exceptions, the solar photosphere is thought to have retained the mean isotopic composition of the original solar nebula, so that, with some corrections, the photosphere provides a baseline for comparison of all other planetary materials. There are two sources of information on the photospheric isotopic composition: optical observa…

Far-Ultraviolet Observations of Molecular Hydrogen in the Diffuse Interstellar Medium of Starburst Galaxies
DOI: 10.1086/422830 Bibcode: 2004ApJ...612..825H

Martin, Crystal L.; Aloisi, Alessandra; Hoopes, Charles G. +5 more

The 905-1180 Å spectral range of FUSE includes numerous transitions of molecular hydrogen, making it possible to study H2 in diffuse interstellar environments directly through absorption measurements. We have searched for H2 absorption in five starburst galaxies: NGC 1705, NGC 3310, NGC 4214, M83 (NGC 5236), and NGC 5253. We …

Multiwavelength Analysis of an X1.6 Flare of 2001 October 19
DOI: 10.1086/382860 Bibcode: 2004ApJ...606..583L

Ding, M. D.; Li, J. P.

An X1.6 two-ribbon flare was observed on 2001 October 19 using the imaging spectrograph at the Solar Tower of Nanjing University. We obtained a time series of two-dimensional Hα line spectra. Combining the observations by the Nobeyama Radioheliograph (NoRH), the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE), the Yohkoh soft X-ray telescope (SXT) …

An XMM-Newton study of the RGH 80 galaxy group
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:20035760 Bibcode: 2004A&A...420..833X

Böhringer, H.; Matsushita, K.; Xue, Y. -J.

We present an X-ray study of the galaxy group RGH 80, observed by XMM-Newton. The X-ray emission of the gas is detected out to ∼462 h-150 kpc, corresponding to ∼0.45 r200. The group is relatively gas rich and luminous with respect to its temperature of 1.01 ± 0.01 keV. Using the deprojected spectral analysis, we fi…

Very cold cores in the Taurus Molecular Ring as seen by ISO
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:20035611 Bibcode: 2004A&A...420..533T

Lemke, D.; Haas, M.; Onishi, T. +2 more

Three prominent cold objects of the Taurus Molecular Ring (TMR) were revealed by our ISOPHOT 200 µm map of the south-eastern part of the Heiles Cloud 2 (HCL 2) cloud complex. One corresponds to the cyanopolyyne peak region of the TMC-1 ridge, (

Deep Photometry in a Remote M31 Major-Axis Field Near G1
DOI: 10.1086/382108 Bibcode: 2004AJ....127.2139R

Ho, Luis C.; Gebhardt, Karl; Rich, R. Michael +2 more

We present photometry from Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 parallel imagery of a remote M31 field at a projected distance of ~34 kpc from the nucleus near the southwest major axis. This field is near the globular cluster G1, and near one of the candidate tidal plumes identified in the survey of Ferguson et al. (2002). Th…

INTEGRAL observations of the PSR B1259-63/SS2883 system after the 2004 periastron passage
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:200400077 Bibcode: 2004A&A...426L..33S

Mereghetti, S.; Rodriguez, J.; Walter, R. +3 more

The millisecond pulsar PSR B1259-63 and the Be star SS2883 are situated in a highly eccentric binary system, with orbital period ∼3.4 years. We report on hard X-ray observations obtained with the INTEGRAL satellite close to the 2004 periastron passage. These are the first imaging observations of this system in…

The XMM-Newton view of the X-ray halo and jet of NGC 6251
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:20031657 Bibcode: 2004A&A...414..885S

Cheung, C. C.; Tavecchio, F.; Mushotzky, R. F. +3 more

We present an XMM-Newton observation of the radio jet and diffuse halo of the nearby radio galaxy NGC 6251. The EPIC spectrum of the galaxy's halo is best-fitted by a thermal model with temperature kT ∼ 1.6 keV and sub-solar abundances. Interestingly, an additional hard X-ray component is required to fit the EPIC spectra of the halo above 3 keV, a…

WIYN Open Cluster Study. XIX. Main-Sequence-Fitting Distances to Open Clusters Using V-K Color-Magnitude Diagrams
DOI: 10.1086/381072 Bibcode: 2004AJ....127..991S

Sarajedini, Ata; Brandt, Ken; Grocholski, Aaron J. +1 more

We have combined existing optical magnitudes for stars in seven open clusters and 54 field stars with the corresponding JHKs photometry from the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS). Combining optical with near-IR photometry broadens the color baseline, minimizing the influence of photometric errors and allowing better discrimination betwe…
