The shocked interstellar medium around IC443 produces strong X-ray emission in the soft energy band (E . 1.5 keV). We present an analysis of such emission as observed with the EPIC MOS cameras on board the XMM-Newton observatory, with the purpose to find clear signatures of the interactions with the interstellar medium (ISM) in the X-ray band, which may complement results obtained in other wave...

The bipolar outflow from the massive star forming cluster in DR21 is one of the most powerful known, and in IRAC images the outflow stands out by virtue of its brightness at 4.5 μm (Band 2). Indeed, IRAC images of many galactic and extragalactic star formation regions feature prominent Band 2 morphologies. We have analyzed archival ISOSWS spectra of the DR21 outflow, and compare them to updated...

OF THE THESIS Spread Spectrum Interference Issues In The MHz ISM Band by Rajnish Sinha Thesis Director Professor Roy D Yates In this thesis we investigate the use of the MHz unlicensed band for wireless communications This band has been allocated by the FCC Federal Communications Commission for industrial scienti c and medical ISM applications Although a li cense is not required to operate in t...

We present 0.35 to 2.5 μm spectra of the south and northwest filaments in the reflection nebula NGC 7023. These spectra were used to test the theory of Seahra & Duley that carbon nanoparticles are responsible for Extended Red Emission (ERE). Our spectra fail to show their predicted second emission band at 1.0 μm even though both filaments exhibit strong emission in the familiar 0.7 μm ERE band....
