Methodology Cyber-Infrastructures (CIs) and portals such as GEON [1] and CEON [2] provide services and access to data in support of scientific efforts. With the increasing availability of CI resources, there is also a growing need for mechanisms to integrate data that have varying accuracy and sensitivity and that come from distributed sources. Workflow-Driven Ontology (WDO) is an approach that...

We use deep archival Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of three of the brightest cluster-centre radio galaxies in the sky, Cygnus A, Hercules A and Hydra A, to search for inverse-Compton emission from the population of electrons responsible for the low-frequency radio emission. Using simulated observations, we derive robust estimates for the uncertainties on the normalization of an inverse-Co...

Results from Chandra studies of the intracluster medium around M87 and Cygnus A are summarized.

That the subject can sustain an entire book may seem surprising; however, recognizing its potential during research for her earlier work, Breasts, bottles and babies, Valerie Fildes has produced a...
