Protoplanetary Disk Evolution around the Triggered Star Forming Region Cepheus B (2009)
Getman, Konstantin V., Feigelson, Eric D., Luhman, Kevin L., Sicilia-Aguilar, Aurora, Wang, Junfeng, Garmire, Gordon P.
The Cepheus B (CepB) molecular cloud and a portion of the nearby CepOB3b OB association, one of the most active regions of star formation within 1 kpc, have been observed with the IRAC detector on...
X-ray flares in Orion young stars. I. Flare characteristics (2008)
Getman, Konstantin V., Feigelson, Eric D., Broos, Patrick S., Micela, Giuseppina, Garmire, Gordon P.
Pre-main sequence (PMS) stars are known to produce powerful X-ray flares which resemble magnetic reconnection solar flares scaled by factors up to 10^4. However, numerous puzzles are present...
X-Ray flares in Orion Young Stars. II. Flares, Magnetospheres, and Protoplanetary Disks (2008)
Getman, Konstantin V., Feigelson, Eric D., Micela, Giuseppina, Jardine, Moira M., Gregory, Scott G., Garmire, Gordon P.
We study the properties of powerful X-ray flares from 161 pre-main sequence (PMS) stars observed with the Chandra X-ray Observatory in the Orion Nebula region. Relationships between flare properties,...
Wang, Junfeng, Townsley, Leisa K., Feigelson, Eric D., Broos, Patrick S., Getman, Konstantin V., Roman-Zuniga, Carlos, ...
We present the first high spatial resolution Chandra X-ray study of NGC 2244, the 2 Myr old stellar cluster immersed in the Rosette Nebula. Over 900 X-ray sources are detected; 77% have optical or...
The young stellar population in M17 revealed by Chandra (2006)
Broos, Patrick S., Feigelson, Eric D., Townsley, Leisa K., Getman, Konstantin V., Wang, Junfeng, Garmire, Gordon P., ...
We report here results from a Chandra ACIS observation of the stellar populations in and around the Messier 17 H II region. The field reveals 886 sources, 771 of which have stellar counterparts in...
An X-ray Census of Young Stars in the Massive Southern Star-Forming Complex NGC 6357 (2006)
Wang, Junfeng, Townsley, Leisa K., Feigelson, Eric D., Getman, Konstantin V., Broos, Patrick S., Garmire, Gordon P., ...
We present the first high spatial resolution X-ray study of the massive star forming region NGC 6357, obtained in a 38 ks Chandra/ACIS observation. Inside the brightest constituent of this large HII...
X-ray Study of Triggered Star Formation and Protostars in IC 1396N (2006)
Getman, Konstantin V., Feigelson, Eric D., Garmire, Gordon, Broos, Patrick, Wang, Junfeng
The IC 1396N cometary globule within the large nearby HII region IC 1396 has been observed with the ACIS detector on board the Chandra X-ray Observatory. We detect 117 X-ray sources, of which ~50-60...
X-rays from HH210 in the Orion nebula (2006)
Grosso, Nicolas, Feigelson, Eric D., Getman, Konstantin V., Kastner, Joel H., Bally, John, McCaughrean, Mark J.
We report the detection during the Chandra Orion Ultradeep Project (COUP) of two soft, constant, and faint X-ray sources associated with the Herbig-Haro object HH210. HH210 is located at the tip of...
Getman, Konstantin V., Feigelson, Eric D., Townsley, Leisa, Broos, Patrick, Garmire, Gordon, Tsujimoto, Masahiro
Cepheus B (Cep B) molecular cloud and a portion of the nearby Cep OB3b OB association, one of the most active regions of star formation within 1 kpc, has been observed with the ACIS detector on board...
X-rays and young clusters: Membership, IMFs and distances (2005)
Feigelson, Eric D., Getman, Konstantin V.
Sensitive imaging X-ray observations of young stellar clusters (YSCs, ages less than about 10 Myr) are valuable tools for the acquisition of an unbiased census of cluster members needed for Initial...
Li, Jingqiang, Kastner, Joel H., Prigozhin, Gregory Y., Schulz, Norbert S., Feigelson, Eric D., Getman, Konstantin V.
We further investigate subpixel event repositioning (SER) algorithms in application to Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO) CCD imaging. SER algorithms have been applied to backside illuminated (BI)...
