Rayleigh scattering: blue sky thinking for future CMB observations: Rayleigh scattering from neutral hydrogen during and shortly after
recombination causes the CMB anisotropies to be significantly frequency
dependent at high frequencies. This may be detectable with Planck, and would be
a strong signal in any future spa... | astro-ph |
Echelle Spectroscopy of a GRB Afterglow at z=3.969: A New Probe of the
Interstellar and Intergalactic Media in the Young Universe: We present an echelle spectrum of the Swift GRB 050730, obtained four hours
after the burst using the MIKE spectrograph on the Magellan Clay Telescope when
the afterglow was at R=17.7. Th... | astro-ph |
The Penn State - Toruń Centre for Astronomy Planet Search stars. III.
The evolved stars sample: We present basic atmospheric parameters ($T_{eff}$, $log g$, $v_{t}$ and
[Fe/H]), rotation velocities and absolute radial velocities as well as
luminosities, masses, ages and radii for 402 stars (including 11 single-lined
