2006 May-July major radio flare episodes in Cygnus X-3: Spectrotiming analysis of the X-ray data
(2013)We analyse in detail the X-ray data of the microquasar Cygnus X-3 obtained during major radio flaring episodes in 2006 with multiple observatories. The analysis consists of two parts: probing the fast (~1min) X-ray spectral ... -
The 2010 very high energy y-ray flare and 10 years of multi-wavelength observations of M 87
(2012-02-02)The giant radio galaxy M 87 with its proximity (16 Mpc), famous jet, and very massive black hole ((3 – 6) × 109 M ☉) provides a unique opportunity to investigate the origin of very high energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) γ-ray ... -
2016 Baja Car
The purpose is to design and build a rolling chassis that is capable of traversing various terrains, which will provide support to the components and make driver feel comfortable and safe to drive. -
2MASS J0516288+260738: Discovery of the first eclipsing late K + Brown dwarf binary system?
(2003-11)We report the discovery of a new eclipsing system less than one arcminute south of the pulsating DB white dwarf KUV 05134+2605 . The object could be identified with the point source 2MASS J0516288+260738 published by the ... -
70 DA white dwarfs identified in LAMOST pilot survey
(2013-06)We present a spectroscopically identified catalog of 70 DA white dwarfs (WDs) from the LAMOST pilot survey. Thirty-five are found to be new identifications after cross-correlation with the Eisenstein et al. and Villanova ... -
The 72-h WEBT microvariability observation of blazar S5 0716+714 in 2009
(2013-10-10)Context. The international Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) consortium planned and carried out three days of intensive micro-variability observations of S5 0716+714 from February 22, 2009 to February 25, 2009. This ... -
A Robot Platform for Intelligent Ground Vehicle Research
(2016-11)This thesis presents a mobile platform developed for further research on the Intellegent Ground Vehicle project which began as a capstone project but without achieving full autonomy. The scope of the current project is ... -
Abundance of elements beyond the iron group in cool do white dwarfs
(2005-09-10)We report the presence of elements beyond the iron group in the atmospheres of the cool DO white dwarfs HD 149499 B and HZ 21. Photospheric lines of germanium (Z = 32), arsenic (33), selenium (34), tin (50), tellurium (52), ... -
Abundances and energy spectra of corotating interaction region heavy ions observed during solar cycle 23
(2008-05-10)Using instruments on the ACE spacecraft, we surveyed the heavy-ion spectra and composition over the range He– Fe for 41 corotating interaction regions (CIRs) during 1998–2007. Below~ 1 MeV nucleon^-1 the spectra are power ... -
Abundances of heavy and ultraheavy ions in ³He-rich solar flares
(2004-05-01)We have surveyed ³He-rich solar energetic particle (SEP) events over the period 1997 September-2003 April in order to characterize abundances of heavy ions near 400 keV nucleonˉ¹. The first part of the study focuses on 20 ... -
Acceleration of low-energy ions at parallel shocks with a focused transport model
(2013-04-10)We present a test particle simulation on the injection and acceleration of low-energy suprathermal particles by parallel shocks with a focused transport model. The focused transport equation contains all necessary physics ... -
Acceleration of suprathermal particles by compressional plasma wave trains in the solar wind
(2010-12-04)This paper presents a calculation of particle acceleration by an idealized compressional plasma wave train. In this model, suprathermal particles, such as pickup ions, are continuously injected into a wave train consisting ... -
