No Neutron Star Companion To The Lowest Mass SDSS White Dwarf (2009)

Agueros, Marcel, Heinke, Craig, Camilo, Fernando, Kilic, Mukremin, Anderson, Scott, Freire, Paulo, ...

SDSS J091709.55+463821.8 (hereafter J0917+4638) is the lowest surface gravity white dwarf (WD) currently known, with log g = 5.55 +/- 0.05 (M ~ 0.17 M_sun; Kilic et al. 2007a,b). Such low-mass white...

X-Ray-Emitting Stars Identified from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (2009)

Agueros, Marcel, Anderson, Scott, Covey, Kevin, Hawley, Suzanne, Margon, Bruce, Newsom, Emily, ...

The ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) was the first imaging X-ray survey of the entire sky. While X-ray source counterparts are known to range from distant quasars to nearby M dwarfs, the RASS data alone...

The Impact of the Astro2010 Recommendations on Variable Star Science (2009)

Walkowicz, Lucianne M., Becker, Andrew C., Anderson, Scott F., Bloom, Joshua S., Georgiev, Leonid, Grindlay, Josh, ...

The next decade of survey astronomy has the potential to transform our knowledge of variable stars. Stellar variability underpins our knowledge of the cosmological distance ladder, and provides...

A Catalog of Spectroscopically Confirmed White Dwarfs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 4 (2006)

Eisenstein, Daniel J., Liebert, James, Harris, Hugh C., Kleinmann, S. J., Nitta, Atsuko, Silvestri, Nicole, ...

We present a catalog of 9316 spectroscopically confirmed white dwarfs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 4. We have selected the stars through photometric cuts and spectroscopic modeling,...

Quiescent observations of the WZ Sge type dwarf nova PQ Andromedae (2004)

Schwarz, Greg J., Barman, Travis, Silvestri, Nicole, Szkody, Paula, Starrfield, Sumner, Vanlandingham, Karen, ...

We have obtained time series optical spectra of the cataclysmic variable PQ And in quiescence. The spectra show a white dwarf continuum with narrow Balmer emission superimposed over strong Balmer...

Cataclysmic Variables from SDSS III. The Third Year (2004)

Szkody, Paula, Henden, Arne, Fraser, Oliver, Silvestri, Nicole, Bochanski, John, Wolfe, Michael A., ...

This paper continues the series that identifies new cataclysmic variables found in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We present 36 cataclysmic variables and one possible symbiotic star from Sloan spectra...

Cataclysmic Variables from SDSS II. The Second Year (2003)

Szkody, Paula, Fraser, Oliver, Silvestri, Nicole, Henden, Arne, Anderson, Scott F., Frith, James, ...

The first full year of operation following the commissioning year of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey has revealed a wide variety of newly discovered cataclysmic variables. We show the SDSS spectra of...

Neonates Mount Robust and Protective Adult-Like CD8+-T-Cell Responses to DNA Vaccines†

Zhang, Jie, Silvestri, Nicole, Whitton, J. Lindsay, Hassett, Daniel E.

Neonates are thought to mount less vigorous adaptive immune responses than adults to antigens and infectious agents. This concept has led to a delay in the administration of many currently available...
