Cosmic Ray Particles Images With Orca-Ii Erg, George Mcnamara
Cosmic Ray Particles Images With Orca-Ii Erg, George Mcnamara
George McNamara
Cosmic ray particles image series acquired using a Hamamatsu ORCA-II ERG scientific grade CCD camera, cooled to -60 C. Each image is a consecutive 600 second (10 minute) exposure time with no light to the camera.
While processing the data, I discoverd that the background changed around planes 25 and 227 (see Excel file and jpeg screenshots), so I also processed only planes 025-227 (203 planes total, 2030 minutes, 33.83 hours). the CCD industry "rule of thumb" for a "typical" CCD sensor (i.e. 1/3" CCD) is that one cosmic ray particle strikes a sensor approximately every 30 seconds (assuming not …
Deep Silicate Absorption Features In Compton-Thick Active Galactic Nuclei Predominantly Arise Due To Dust In The Host Galaxy, A. D. Goulding, D. M. Alexander, F. E. Bauer, W. R. Forman, R. C. Hickox
Deep Silicate Absorption Features In Compton-Thick Active Galactic Nuclei Predominantly Arise Due To Dust In The Host Galaxy, A. D. Goulding, D. M. Alexander, F. E. Bauer, W. R. Forman, R. C. Hickox
Dartmouth Scholarship
We explore the origin of mid-infrared (mid-IR) dust extinction in all 20 nearby (z < 0.05) bona fide Compton-thick (N H > 1.5 × 1024 cm–2) active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with hard energy (E > 10 keV) X-ray spectral measurements. We accurately measure the silicate absorption features at λ ~ 9.7 μm in archival low-resolution (R ~ 57-127) Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph spectroscopy, and show that only a minority (≈45%) of nearby Compton-thick AGNs have strong Si-absorption features (S 9.7 = ln (f int/f obs) 0.5) which would indicate significant dust attenuation. The majority (≈60%) are star …
