A Vigorous Explorer Program (2009)
Elvis, Martin, Beasley, Matthew, Brissenden, Roger, Chakrabarti, Supriya, Cherry, Michael, Devlin, Mark, ...
Explorers have made breakthroughs in many fields of astrophysics. The science from both these missions contributed to three Nobel Prizes - Giacconi (2002), Mather, and Smoot (2006). Explorers have:...

GRB Probes of the High-z Universe with EXIST (2009)
Grindlay, Jonathan, Team, The EXIST
The Energetic X-ray Imaging Survey Telescope (EXIST) mission concept is optimized for study of high-z GRBs as probes of the early Universe. With a High Energy Telescope (HET) incorporating a 4.5m^2...
In Situ Probes of the First Galaxies and Reionization: Gamma-ray Bursts (2009)
McQuinn, Matthew, Bloom, Joshua S., Grindlay, Jonathan, Band, David, Barthelmy, S. D., Berger, E., ...
The first structures in the Universe formed at z>7, at higher redshift than all currently known galaxies. Since GRBs are brighter than other cosmological sources at high redshift and exhibit simple...
Bloom, Joshua S., Holz, Daniel E., Hughes, Scott A., Menou, Kristen, Adams, Allan, Anderson, Scott F., ...
It is widely expected that the coming decade will witness the first direct detection of gravitational waves (GWs). The ground-based LIGO and Virgo GW observatories are being upgraded to advanced...
Gamma-ray Bursts: Light on the distant Universe (2008)
Observations of a long-lasting Gamma-ray burst, one that has the brightest optical counterpart yet discovered, challenge theoretical understanding of these bursts but may enhance their usefulness as...
The Brightest Serendipitous X-ray Sources in ChaMPlane (2008)
Penner, Kyle, Berg, Maureen Van Den, Hong, JaeSub, Laycock, Silas, Zhao, Ping, Grindlay, Jonathan
The Chandra Multiwavelength Plane (ChaMPlane) Survey is a comprehensive effort to constrain the population of accretion-powered and coronal low-luminosity X-ray sources (L_X < 10^33 erg s^-1) in the...
Chandra ACIS survey of M33 (ChASeM33): a first look (2008)

Chandra ACIS Survey of M33 (ChASeM33): A First Look (2007)
Plucinsky, Paul P., Williams, Benjamin, Long, Knox S., Gaetz, Terrance J., Sasaki, Manami, Pietsch, Wolfgang, ...
We present an overview of the Chandra ACIS Survey of M33 (ChASeM33): A Deep Survey of the Nearest Face-on Spiral Galaxy. The 1.4 Ms survey covers the galaxy out to $R \approx 18\arcmin (\approx 4$...

Short gamma-ray bursts from binary neutron star mergers in globular clusters (2005)
Grindlay, Jonathan, Zwart, Simon Portegies, McMillan, Stephen
The first locations of short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in elliptical galaxies suggest they are produced by the mergers of double neutron star (DNS) binaries in old stellar populations. Globular...

We provide a brief description of the optical survey being conducted under the NOAO Long Term Surveys program in support of the Chandra Multiwavelength Plane (ChaMPlane) Survey (see paper by Grindlay...
Energy Spectra and High Frequency Oscillations in 4U 0614+091 (1997)
Ford, Eric C., Kaaret, Philip, Chen, Kaiyou, Tavani, Marco, Barret, Didier, Bloser, Peter, ...
We investigate the behavior of the high frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in 4U 0614+091, combining timing and spectral analysis of RXTE observations. The energy spectra of the source can...
