First year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) observations: Determination of cosmological parameters
WMAP precision data enable accurate testing of cosmological models. We find that the emerging standard model of cosmology, a flat � -dominated universe seeded by a nearly scale-invariant adiabatic…
First year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) observations: Preliminary maps and basic results
We present full-sky microwave maps in five frequency bands (23-94 GHz) from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) first-year sky survey. Calibration errors are less than 0.5%, and the low…
On characterizing the variability properties of X-ray light curves from active galaxies
TLDR
It is demonstrated that σ 2 XS (or similarly F v a r ) shows large changes from one part of the light curve to the next, even when the variability is produced by a stationary process, which limits the usefulness of these estimators for quantifying differences in variability amplitude between different sources or from epoch to epoch in one source.
Chandra X-Ray Spectroscopic Imaging of Sagittarius A* and the Central Parsec of the Galaxy
We report the results of the first-epoch observation with the ACIS-I instrument on the Chandra X-Ray Observatory of Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the compact radio source associated with the supermassive…
The GALEX Ultraviolet Atlas of Nearby Galaxies
We present images, integrated photometry, and surface-brightness and color profiles for a total of 1034 nearby galaxies recently observed by the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) satellite in its…
Cosmic Reionization and Early Star-forming Galaxies: a Joint Analysis of new Constraints From Planck and the Hubble Space Telescope
We discuss new constraints on the epoch of cosmic reionization and test the assumption that most of the ionizing photons responsible arose from high-redshift star-forming galaxies. Good progress has…
FIRST-YEAR WILKINSON MICROWAVE ANISOTROPY PROBE (WMAP) 1 OBSERVATIONS: TEMPERATURE-POLARIZATION CORRELATION
The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) has mapped the full sky in Stokes I, Q, and U parameters at frequencies of 23, 33, 41, 61, and 94 GHz. We detect correlations between the temperature…
The lick agn monitoring project: Broad-line region radii and black hole masses from reverberation mapping of Hβ
We have recently completed a 64-night spectroscopic monitoring campaign at the Lick Observatory 3-m Shane telescope with the aim of measuring the masses of the black holes in 12 nearby (z < 0: 05)…
Massive Stars in the Arches Cluster
We present and use new spectra and narrowband images, along with previously published broadband images, of stars in the Arches cluster to extract photometry, astrometry, equivalent width, and…
The Sloan Lens ACS Survey. I. A Large Spectroscopically Selected Sample of Massive Early-Type Lens Galaxies
The Sloan Lens ACS (SLACS) Survey is an efficient Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Snapshot imaging survey for new galaxy-scale strong gravitational lenses. The targeted lens candidates are selected…
