A celestial gamma-ray foreground due to the albedo of small solar system bodies and a remote probe of the interstellar cosmic ray spectrum (2007)

Moskalenko, Igor V., Porter, Troy A., Digel, Seth W., Michelson, Peter F., Ormes, Jonathan F.

We calculate the gamma-ray albedo flux from cosmic-ray (CR) interactions with the solid rock and ice in Main Belt asteroids (MBAs), Jovian and Neptunian Trojan asteroids, and Kuiper Belt objects...

CGRaBS: An All-Sky Survey of Gamma-Ray Blazar Candidates (2007)

Healey, Stephen E., Romani, Roger W., Cotter, Garret, Michelson, Peter F., Schlafly, Edward F., Readhead, Anthony C. S., ...

We describe a uniform all-sky survey of bright blazars, selected primarily by their flat radio spectra, that is designed to provide a large catalog of likely gamma-ray AGN. The defined sample has...

A Northern Survey of Gamma-Ray Blazar Candidates (2005)

Sowards-Emmerd, David, Romani, Roger W., Michelson, Peter F., Healey, Stephen E., Nolan, Patrick L.

In preparation for GLAST, we have compiled a sample of blazar candidates to increase the pool of well studied AGN from which GLAST counterparts will be drawn. Sources were selected with our Figure of...

The Gamma-Ray Blazar Content of the Northern Sky (2002)

Sowards-Emmerd, David, Romani, Roger W., Michelson, Peter F.

Using survey data, we have re-evaluated the correlation of flat spectrum radio sources with EGRET sources in the Northern sky. A likelihood analysis incorporating the radio and X-ray properties and...

Phase Dependent Spectral Variability of 4U1907+09 (2001)

Roberts, Mallory S. E., Michelson, Peter F., Leahy, Denis A., Hall, Tony A., Finley, John P., Cominsky, Lynn R., ...

We report on ASCA, RXTE, and archival observations of the high mass X-ray binary pulsar 4U1907+09. Spectral measurements of the absorption and flux were made at all phases of the X-ray pulsar orbit,...

A Modified Beat Frequency Modulated Accretion Model I. Spin Periods and Magnetic Moments of Z-Sources Inferred from Horizontal Branch QPO. (1997)

Wood, Kent S., Michelson, Peter F., Roberts, Mallory S.

We present a modified beat-frequency modulated accretion model appropriate to a description of the horizontal branch oscillations of Z-type low-mass x-ray binaries. This model incorporates several...

Ginga Studies of Black Hole Cadidates. Multiwavelength Studies Using Temporal Lags and Ginga Archival Studies of QPOs in LMXB Z-Sources. (1997)

Michelson, Peter F.

The purpose of the research performed under N00014-93-2001 was to carry out analysis of x-ray temporal observations of several bright galactic x-ray binary systems containing neutron stars that are...

Ginga Studies of Black Hole Candidates: Multiwavelength Studies Using Temporal Lags and Coherence Function Analysis and Ginga Archival Studies of QPOs in LMXB Z-Sources. (1997)

Wood, Kent S., Michelson, Peter F., Roberts, Mallory S.

We present a modified beat frequency modulated accretion model appropriate to a description of the horizontal branch oscillations of Z-type low-mass x-ray binaries. This model incorporates several...

Ginga Studies of Black Hole Candidates: Multiwavelength Studies Using Temporal Lags and Coherence Function Analysis and Ginga Archival Studies of QPOs in LMXB Z-Sources. (1997)

Michelson, Peter F.

The purpose of the research was to carry out analysis of x-ray temporal observations of several bright galactic x-ray binary systems containing neutron stars that are suspected to have weak magnetic...
