Centaurus A: constraints on the nature of the giant lobe filaments from XMM-Newton observations
(2015-12-11)
We report on deep XMM-Newton observations of the vertex filament in the southern giant lobe of the Fanaroff-Riley class I radio galaxy Centaurus A. We find no X-ray excess from the filament region and place a 3 sigma upper ...
Broadband Spectral Modeling of the Extreme Gigahertz-Peaked Spectrum Radio Source PKS B0008-421
(2015-08-20)
We present broadband observations and spectral modeling of PKS B0008-421, and identify it as an extreme gigahertz-peaked spectrum (GPS) source. PKS B0008-421 is characterized by the steepest known spectral slope below the ...
Massive stars formed in atomic hydrogen reservoirs : HI observations of gamma-ray burst host galaxies
(2015-08-13)
Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), among the most energetic events in the Universe, are explosions of massive and short-lived stars, so they pinpoint locations of recent star formation. However, several GRB host galaxies have ...
Subclasses of Type Ia Supernovae as the origin of [α/Fe] ratios in dwarf spheroidal galaxies
(2015-04-23)
Recent extensive observations of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) have revealed the existence of a diversity of SNe Ia, including SNe Iax. We introduce two possible channels in the single degenerate scenario: 1) double detonations ...
