We report the detection of 1720 and 1612 MHz OH ground-state satellite line maser regions in the starburst galaxy NGC253. We find ten compact maser features all of which are located along the narrow...

OH Satellite Line Masers and an AGN Candidate in M82 (1997)

Seaquist, E. R., Frayer, D. T., Frail, D. A.

We report the detection of OH satellite line masers at 1720 MHz and 1612 MHz from the nuclear region of the starburst galaxy M82. The observations were aimed at detecting 1720 MHz maser emission from...

The Radio Spectral Index of the Crab Nebula (1997)

Bietenholz, M. F., Kassim, N., Frail, D. A., Perley, R. A., Erickson, W. C., Hajian, A. R.

We present the results of a new, comprehensive investigation of the radio spectral index of the Crab Nebula supernova remnant. New data at 74 MHz are combined with data at 327 MHz, 1.5 GHz and 5 GHz....

Claussen, M. J, Frail, D. A., Goss, W. M., Gaume, R. A.

(abridged) - We present arcsecond resolution observations from the VLA of the satellite line of the hydroxyl molecule (OH) at 1720.53 MHz toward three Galactic supernova remnants: W28, W44 and IC443....

Radio Monitoring of the January 11, 1997 Gamma-Ray Burst (1997)

Frail, D. A., Kulkarni, S. R., Costa, E., Frontera, F., Heise, J., Feroci, M., ...

We report on a comprehensive radio monitoring program of the bright gamma-ray burster GRB970111. These VLA observations were made at a frequency of 1.4 GHz and span a range of post-burst timescales...

The Pulsar Wind Nebula Around PSR B1853+01 in the Supernova Remnant W44 (1996)

Frail, D. A., Giacani, E. B., Goss, W. M., Dubner, G.

We present radio observations of a region in the vicinity of the young pulsar PSR B1853+01 in the supernova remnant W44. The pulsar is located at the apex of an extended feature with cometary...

Does the Crab Have a Shell? (1995)

Frail, D. A., Kassim, N. E., Cornwell, T. J., Goss, W. M.

We present deep images of a region around the Crab nebula made with the VLA, utilizing new imaging and deconvolution algorithms in a search for a faint radio shell. The existence of a high-velocity,...

Radio Monitoring and High Resolution Observations of the Soft Gamma Ray Repeater 1806-20. by Vasisht et al. Postscript file, 13 pages (1994)

Vasisht, G., Frail, D. A., Kulkarni, S. R.

We report the results of radio flux-monitoring and high resolution observations at 3.6 cm with the VLA, of the central condensation in G10.0-0.3, the radio nebula surrounding the soft gamma ray...

The Radio Lifetime of Supernova Remnants and the Distribution of Pulsar Velocities at Birth (1994)

Frail, D. A., Goss, W. M., Whiteoak, J. B. Z.

We have made VLA images of the fields around three young pulsars which have resulted in the discovery of two new supernova remnants and confirmation of a third. We argue that, in at least two cases...

Anisotropic Scattering of OH/IR Stars Towards the Galactic Center (1994)

Frail, D. A., Diamond, P. J., Cordes, J. M., Van Langevelde, H. J.

We have made angular broadening measurements in the satellite line of the OH molecule at 1612 MHz of 8 OH/IR stars located near the Galactic Center with the Very Large Array. Early observations with...

The Radio Nebula of the Soft Gamma Ray Repeater SGR 1806-20 (1994)

Kulkarni, S. R., Frail, D. A., Kassim, N. E., Murakami, T., Vasisht, G.

Earlier we had suggested that G10.0-0.3, a non-thermal nebula, most likely an old supernova remnant (SNR), was associated with the soft gamma repeater (SGR) SGR 1806-20. Here we present new radio...
