    X-rays from the SNR 3C 391 (1984)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: An X-ray map and spectral information were obtained from a short Einstein observation of 3C 391 (G31.9 + 0.0). Both X-ray and radio emission appear to come from an irregular shell 5 arcmin in diameter. For a distance of 11 kpc the X-ray luminosity is at least 10 to the 35th ergs/sec. The luminosity, the radius, and the temperature are about as expected from a middle-aged SNR expanding into a medium with density a few tenths of an atom per cu cm.

    The X-ray emission of the old Nova V603 Aquilae (1918) (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: X-ray observations of the old Nova V603 Aql have been obtained with the IPC and MPC instruments aboard the Einstein Observatory during 1.7 consecutive orbital cycles. Periodic orbital phase-dependent flux variations are detected with large-amplitude flickering superimposed on the sinusoidal X-ray light curve. The spectrum is hard, characterized by a temperature of 20-30 keV, and the maximum X-ray luminosity observed was about 3 x 10 to the 33rd erg/s. The X-ray measurements are compared with recent optical photometric observations, and origin of the periodic modulation of the optical and X-ray flux is discussed.

    Solar wind interaction with small bodies. 2: What can Galileo's detection of magnetic rotations tell us about Gaspra and Ida (1995)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: As the Galileo spacecraft passed the asteroids Gaspra in 1990 and Ida in 1993, the magnetometer recorded changes in the solar wind magnetic field that we associate with the presence of the nearby body. This paper focuses on the types of interactions that can produce perturbations in the solar wind. We have suggested that the interaction at Gaspra is consistent with expectations of flow diversion by a magnetic dipole moment and an associated 'magnetosphere' whose scale size is much larger than the diameter of the solid body. The conditions for the Ida flyby leave more room for ambiguity. The observations could plausibly be related to either interaction with a magnetized body or with a conducting body. We will report on details of the observations that may enable us to distinguish between the different types of interaction and to provide quantitative estimates of the physical properties of the asteroids themselves.

    Solar wind interaction with small bodies. 1: Whistler wing signatures near to Gaspra and Ida (1995)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: Data from Galileo's two asteroid flybys reveal magnetic fluctuations that we interpret as perturbations of the solar wind magnetic field caused by an interaction with the nearby asteroid. The scale sizes of the bodies (approximately 14 km for Gaspra and approximately 30 km for Ida) are intermediate between the ion and electron gyroradii, which implies that the asteroid-imposed perturbations propagate in the whistler mode. Special properties of the whistler mode include phase phase velocities that can exceed the solar wind speed and confinement of the disturbance to directions nearly aligned with the magnetic field. These features of the interaction impose a structure on the solar wind disturbance that differs greatly from the forms familiar for either magnetized or unmagnetized bodies of magnetohydrodynamic spatial scales. We examine both data and computer simulations of the interaction with special attention to what can be inferred about the interaction itself from analysis of the data.

    Identification of the nebula G70.7 + 1.2 as a bow shock powered by a pulsar/Be-star binary (1992)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: New data are presented here that firmly establish the nonthermal nature of the radio emission from the enigmatic radio and optical nebula G70.7 + 1.2. H-alpha and forbidden O I Fabry-Perot observations are used to argue that the extended optical emission from the nebula arises from a bow shock powered by a mass-losing luminous star moving supersonically through dense gas. The strong nonthermal radio emission from the object is then explained as the shocked relativistic wind from a pulsar, which is proposed here as a companion to the Be star. The coincidence of the optical and radio emission requires the pulsar and stellar winds to be mixed together. The system has a large overall velocity of about 60 km/s which is inexplicable in all other models but which is typical of binary pulsars.

    Long-slit spectroscopy of gas in the cores of X-ray luminous clusters (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: The results of long-slit spectroscopy obtained for the core regions of 14 clusters of galaxies are reported. The data are presented in detail. It is shown that the presence of optical emission is tied to the properties of the hot gas in the cluster and not to the morphology of the central galaxy or cluster, demonstrating that the optical systems are indeed formed by the cooling of hot gas. Cooling flows occur when the gas density exceeds a critical central value which corresponds to a cooling time scale which, it is argued, weakly favors low values of H(0). The kinematics of the gas flows are discussed. The excitation mechanisms, correlation of optical emission with radio properties, and upper limits on coronal line strengths from the hot gas are discussed.
