Orbital Dynamics of Candidate Transitional Millisecond Pulsar 3FGL J1544.6-1125: An Unusually Face-on System [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We present the orbital solution for the donor star of the candidate transitional millisecond pulsar (tMSP) 3FGL J1544.6-1125, currently observed as an accreting low-mass X-ray binary.

Evidence for Multiple Shocks from the γ-Ray Emission of RS Ophiuchi

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
In 2021 August, the Fermi Large Area Telescope, H.E.S.S., and MAGIC detected GeV and TeV γ -ray emission from an outburst of recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi. This detection represents the first very high-energy γ -rays observed from a nova, and it opens a new

Coherent Time-domain Canceling of Interference for Radio Astronomy

open access: yesPublications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2022
Abstract Radio astronomy is vulnerable to interference from a variety of anthropogenic sources. Among the many strategies for mitigation of this interference is coherent time-domain canceling (CTC), which ideally allows one to “look through” interference, as opposed to avoiding the interference or deleting the afflicted data.

AT 2023clx: The Faintest and Closest Optical Tidal Disruption Event Discovered in Nearby Star-forming Galaxy NGC 3799

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We report the discovery of a faint optical tidal disruption event (TDE) in the nearby star-forming galaxy NGC 3799. Identification of the TDE is based on its position at the galaxy nucleus, a light curve declining as t ^−5/3 , a blue continuum with an ...

Quasar Black Hole Mass Estimates in the Era of Time Domain Astronomy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We investigate the dependence of the normalization of the high-frequency part of the X-ray and optical power spectral densities (PSD) on black hole mass for a sample of 39 active galactic nuclei (AGN) with black hole masses estimated from reverberation ...

Trend filtering – I. A modern statistical tool for time-domain astronomy and astronomical spectroscopy [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019
The problem of denoising a 1D signal possessing varying degrees of smoothness is ubiquitous in time-domain astronomy and astronomical spectroscopy. For example, in the time domain, an astronomical object may exhibit a smoothly varying intensity that is

How Swift is redefining time domain astronomy

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Astrophysics, 2015
NASA's Swift satellite has completed ten years of amazing discoveries in time domain astronomy. Its primary mission is to chase gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), but due to its scheduling flexibility it has subsequently become a prime discovery machine for new types of behavior.

Time domain astronomy from Dome C: results from ASTEP [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2012
AbstractASTEP (Antarctic Search for Transiting Exo Planets) is a research program funded mainly by French ANR grants and by the French Polar Institute (IPEV), dedicated to the photometric study of exoplanetary transits from Antarctica.The preliminary “pathfinder” instrument ASTEP–South is described in another communication (Crouzet et al., these ...
