    Detection of the overtone of the 3.3 micron emission feature in IRAS 21282+5050 (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: The 1.6-1.8 micron spectrum of the planetary nebula, IRAS 21282+5050, a strong emitter of the unidentified interstellar bands, contains a 0.02 micron wide eimission feature centered at 1.680 micron, which is well matched by laboratory spectra of the 0-2 CH stretching mode in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). We identify the new feature as the overtone of the well-known 3.3 micron band. In view of the high excitation required for emission in this band, the identification indicates that the emission is by free molecules rather than molecular moieties in solid dust grains. Modeling of the intensity ratio of the 2-0 to 1-0 band implied that the PAHs emitting in these bands contain about 60 carbon atoms. It is inferred that the nu = 2-1 hot band of the CH stretching mode occurs at about 3.43 micron and contributes to the long-wavelength shoulder of the 3.40 micron feature. The main 3.40 micron feature probably is due to aliphatic sidegroups on PAH molecules.

    Pulsed high-energy gamma-rays from the radio pulsar PSR1706-44 (1992)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: Gamma radiation above 100 MeV in energy has been detected from the radio pulsar PSR1706-44. The gamma emission forms a single broad peak within the pulsar period of 102 ms, in contrast to the two narrow peaks seen in the other three known high-energy gamma-ray pulsars. The emission mechanism in all cases is probably the same, the differences arising from the geometry of the magnetic and rotation axes and the line of sight. Gamma-ray emission accounts for as much as 1 percent of the total neutron star spindown energy in these pulsars, much more than emerges at optical or radio frequencies. Thus, study of this emission is important in understanding pulsar emission and evolution.

    A high-frequency survey of the southern Galactic plane for pulsars (1992)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: Results of an HF survey designed to detect young, distant, and short-period pulsars are presented. The survey detected a total of 100 pulsars, 46 of which were previously unknown. The periods of the newly discovered pulsars range between 47 ms and 2.5 ms. One of the new discoveries, PSR 1259-63, is a member of a long-period binary system. At least three of the pulsars have ages less than 30,000 yr, bringing the total number of such pulsars to 12. The majority of the new discoveries are distant objects with high dispersion measures, which are difficult to detect at low frequencies. This demonstrates that the survey has reduced the severe selection effects of pulse scattering, high Galactic background temperature, and dispersion broadening, which hamper the detection of such pulsars at low radio frequencies. The pulsar distribution in the southern Galaxy is found to extend much further from the Galactic center than that in the north, probably due to two prominent spiral arms in the southern Galaxy.

    Negative ions in the coma of Comet Halley (1991)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: The detection of negatively charged cometary ions in the inner coma of Comet Halley is reported. These ions are observed in three broad mass peaks at 7-19, 22-65, and 85-110 AMU, with densities reaching greater than about 1/cu cm, about 0.05/cu cm, and about 0.04/cu cm, respectively, at a distance of about 2300 km from the nucleus. The ion species thought to be present include O(-), OH(-), C(-), CH(-), CN(-) and heavier complex CHO molecular ions. As negative ions are easily destroyed by solar radiation at about 1 AU, an efficient production mechanism, so far unidentified, is required to account for the observed densities. The detection of negative ions in the coma near 1 AU implies that negative ions should also be present in similar neutral gas and dust environment farther away from the sun. If the negative-ion densities are large enough, they could play an important part in physical processes such as radiative transfer or charge exchange.

    A 5.75-millisecond pulsar in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae (1990)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: A pulsar with a period of 5.75 ms and a dispersion measure of 25/cu cm pc has been found in the direction of 47 Tucanae. Despite its probable origin as a member of a binary system, timing measurements show that the pulsar is now single. The observed dispersion measure is consistent with the pulsar lying outside the Galactic electron layer and within 47 Tucanae, but it is very different from the value of 67/cu cm pc for the pulsars that were reported recently as being in this globular cluster. It is suggested that the latter pulsars probably do not in fact lie within 47 Tucanae.

    Electron plasma environment at comet Grigg-Skjellerup: General observations and comparison with the environment at comet Halley (1993)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: The three-dimensional electron spectrometer of the Reme plasma analyzer-complete positive ion, electron and ram negative ion measurements near comet Halley (RPA-COPERNIC) experiment aboard the Giotto spacecraft, although damaged during the comet Halley encounter in March 1986, has provided very new results during the encounter on July 10, 1992, with the weakly active comet Grigg-Skjellerup (G-S). The main characteristic features of the highly structured interaction region extending from approximately 26,500 km inbound to approximately 37,200 km outbound are presented. These results are compared to the results obtained by the same instrument during the Giotto comet Halley fly-by. Despite the large difference in the size of the interaction regions (approximately 60,000 km for G-S, approximately 2000,000 km for Halley) due to 2 orders of magnitude difference in cometary neutral gas production rate, there are striking similarities in the solar wind interactions with the two comets.

    Pulsed high-energy gamma rays from PSR 1055-52 (1993)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: The Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) aboard the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory has detected a high-energy gamma-ray source at a position coincident with that of the radio pulsar PSR 1055-52. Analysis of the EGRET data at the radio pulsar period of 197 ms has revealed pulsed gamma-radiation at energies above 300 MeV, making PSR 1055-52 the fifth detected high-energy gamma-ray pulsar. The pulsed radiation from PSR 1055-52 has a very hard photon spectral index of -1.18 +/- 0.16 and a high efficiency for converting its rotational energy into gamma-rays. No unpulsed emission was observed.
