Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology: Cosmic Laboratories for New Physics (Summary of the Snowmass 2001 P4 Working Group)

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel S. Akerib | First 5 Authors: Daniel S. Akerib, Sean M. Carroll, Marc Kamionkowski, Steven Ritz, | Summary: The past few years have seen dramatic breakthroughs and spectacular and puzzling discoveries in astrophysics and cosmology. In many cases, the new observations can only be explained with the introduction of new fundamental physics. […]

Special McKay correspondence

Kavli Affiliate: Yukari Ito | First 5 Authors: Yukari Ito, , , , | Summary: There are many generalizations of the McKay correspondence for higher dimensional Gorenstein quotient singularities and there are some applications to compute the topological invariants today. But some of the invariants are completely different from the classical invariants, in particular for […]

X-ray Spectra and Light Curves of AR Lac: Temperature Structure, Abundances, and Variability

Kavli Affiliate: Claude Canizares | First 5 Authors: David Huenemoerder, Claude Canizares, Kevin Tibbetts, , | Summary: We observed AR Lac, an eclipsing RS CVn binary star, with the Chandra High Energy Grating Spectrometer for a total of 100 ks divided into six intervals covering both quadratures and eclipses. We repeated observations at each phase. […]

Observations of Gamma-ray Bursts with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer

Kavli Affiliate: Edmund Bertschinger | First 5 Authors: Hale Bradt, Alan M. Levine, Francis E. Marshall, Ronald A. Remillard, Donald A. Smith | Summary: The role of the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) in the study of Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) is reviewed. Through April 2001, the All-Sky Monitor (ASM) and the Proportional Counter Array (PCA) […]

X-ray Transients Monitored by the All-Sky Monitor on RXTE: A Tabulation

Kavli Affiliate: Edmund Bertschinger | First 5 Authors: Hale Bradt, Alan Levine, Ronald Remillard, Donald A. Smith, | Summary: We present a tabulation of 46 transient x-ray sources monitored with the All-Sky Monitor (ASM) on the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). They fall into four broad categories: short (~d), intermediate, and long (>500 d) duration […]

Proposal to search for a monochromatic component of solar axions using $^{57}$Fe

Kavli Affiliate: Shigetaka Moriyama | First 5 Authors: Shigetaka Moriyama, , , , | Summary: An experimental method is introduced to search for almost monochromatic solar axions. In this method, we can search for solar axions by exploiting the axion-quark coupling, not relying on the axion-photon coupling at all. A recent experimental result of Krv […]
