Discovery of the Dust-Enshrouded Progenitor of SN 2008S with Spitzer (2008)
Prieto, J. L., Kistler, M. D., Thompson, T. A., Yuksel, H., Kochanek, C. S., Stanek, K. Z., ...
We report the discovery of the progenitor of the recent type IIn SN 2008S in the nearby galaxy NGC 6946. Surprisingly, it was not found in deep, pre-explosion optical images of its host galaxy taken...
A Survey About Nothing: Monitoring a Million Supergiants for Failed Supernovae (2008)
Kochanek, C. S., Beacom, J. F., Kistler, M. D., Prieto, J. L., Stanek, K. Z., Thompson, T. A., ...
Extragalactic transient searches have historically been limited to looking for the appearance of new sources such as supernovae. It is now possible to carry out a new kind of survey that will do the...
Neutrino Mixing and Nucleosynthesis in Core-Collapse Supernovae (2004)
A simple description of core-collapse supernovae is given. Properties of the neutrino-driven wind, neutrino fluxes and luminosities, reaction rates, and the equilibrium electron fraction in supernova...
Neutrino Physics and Nuclear Axial Two-Body Interactions (2004)
We consider the counter-term describing isoscalar axial two-body currents in the nucleon-nucleon interaction, L1A, in the effective field theory approach. We determine this quantity using the solar...
Neutrino Physics from New Measurements (2004)
Emergence of neutrino physics is fueled by the recent growth in quality and quantity of experimental data, yet, there are still open questions. How much can the determination of mixing parameters be...
Neutrino physics from new SNO and KamLAND data and future prospects (2004)
Balantekin, A. B., Barger, V., Marfatia, D., Pakvasa, S., Yuksel, H.
We analyze the cumulative data from the latest SNO, KamLAND and other solar neutrino experiments in the standard scenario of three oscillating active neutrinos. We determine the solar neutrino...
Physics Potential of Solar Neutrino Experiments (2003)
We discuss the physics potential of the solar neutrino experiments i) To explore the parameter space of neutrino mass and mixings; ii) To probe the physics of the Sun; iii) To explore nuclear physics...
Constraints on Neutrino Parameters from Neutral-Current Solar Neutrino Measurements (2003)
We generalize the pull approach to define the $\chi^2$ function to the analysis of the data with correlated statistical errors. We apply this method to the analysis of the Sudbury Neutrino...
Constraints on Axial Two-Body Currents from Solar Neutrino Data (2003)
We briefly review recent calculations of neutrino deuteron cross sections within the effective field theory and traditional potential model approaches. We summarize recent efforts to determine the...
Do the KamLAND and Solar Neutrino Data Rule out Solar Density Fluctuations? (2003)
We elucidate effects of solar density fluctuations on neutrino propagation through the Sun. Using data from the recent solar neutrino and KamLAND experiments we provide stringent limits on solar...
Global Analysis of Solar Neutrino and KamLAND Data (2003)
A global analysis of the data from all the solar neutrino experiments combined with the recent KamLAND data is presented. A formula frequently used in the literature gives survival probability for...
Adenosine deaminase activity was determined in paired samples of serum and synovial fluid taken from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (n = 12), reactive arthritis (n = 13), and osteoarthritis (n =...
