Model atmospheres and X-ray spectra of iron-rich bursting neutron stars. II. Iron rich Comptonized Spectra

Kavli Affiliate: P. C. Joss | First 5 Authors: A. Majczyna, J. Madej, P. C. Joss, A. Rozanska, | Summary: This paper presents the set of plane-parallel model atmosphere equations for a very hot neutron star (X-ray burst source). The model equations assume both hydrostatic and radiative equilibrium, and the equation of state of an […]

The Red-Sequence Cluster Survey I: The Survey and Cluster Catalogs for Patches RCS0926+37 and RCS1327+29

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Gladders | First 5 Authors: Michael D. Gladders, Howard K. C. Yee, , , | Summary: The Red-Sequence Cluster Survey (RCS) is a $sim$100 square degree, two-filter imaging survey in the $R_C$ and $z’$ filters, designed primarily to locate and characterise galaxy clusters to redshifts as high as $z=1.4$. This paper provides […]
