High-voltage Measurements

Broad - band X - ray measurements of the black hole candidate XTE J 1908 + 094

XTE J1908+094 is an X-ray transient that went into outburst in February 2002. After two months it reached a 2-250 keV peak flux of 1 to 2 × 10 erg cms. Circumstantial evidence points to an accreting galactic black hole as the origin of the the X-radiation: pulsations nor thermonuclear flashes were detected that would identify a neutron star and the spectrum was unusually hard for a neutron star...

Spectroscopic measurements of a 5 – 30 kHz , high voltage atmospheric pressure discharge

A 5 – 30 kHz, high voltage atmospheric pressure discharge device is being investigated as an excitation source for atomic emission spectroscopy. Electron excitation energy and molecular rotational temperature of nitrogen have been measured in this plasma at voltages of approximately 2 kV and average power levels of 130 300 Watts with a 2 mm gap between electrodes. Iron and titanium lines have b...

Homage to Atlantic City.

In this article, I reflect on the unique value for the societies of academic internal medicine of their annual spring meetings that were held in Atlantic City for two generations prior to 1977 and consider whether lessons remain from those past experiences.
