DiSCo-TNOs: Discovering the composition of the trans-Neptunian objects, icy embryos for planet formation
This is a proposal for 98 hours of NIRSPEC/PRISM observations of 59 trans-Neptunian objects and Centaurs (hereafter, TNOs). Our targets cover a diverse range of...
Discovering and Characterizing new Y Dwarfs at the Faint Limits of WISE
We propose to continue our near-IR followup of ultracool dwarf candidates in the WISE survey. We identify candidate late-T and Y dwarfs at the faint limits of...
The RXTE has been monitoring the new transient X-ray source MAXI J1409-619 since its discovery on October 20, 2010 (Yamaoka et al 2010, ATEL # 2959) . We...
Discovery of 1 Hz quasi-periodic oscillations in an RXTE observation of MAXI J1543-564
We report on an RXTE follow-up observation of the ongoing outburst of the newly discovered transient X-ray source MAXI J1543-564 (ATELs #3330 and #3331). At ~2...
Discovery of 10 mHz quasi-periodic oscillations likely from IGR J17091-3624
We report the discovery of ~10 mHz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in a 3.5 ks RXTE observation of the black hole candidate IGR J17091-3624 (ATELs #3144,...
Discovery of 11 Hz burst oscillations from the 11 Hz Eclipsing Pulsar in Terzan 5
An RXTE pointed observation of the ongoing outburst of of the transient source in the globular cluster Terzan 5 (ATEL #2919, #2920, #2922, #2924, #2929) began...
