Through a program of narrow band imaging, we have observed the changing structure of the H alpha emission line around Nova Cyg 1992 (V1974 Cyg) at regular intervals from 1996 to 1999. Between 1994 and 1996, the nebular boundary advanced to the southwest at nearly the speed of light, implying that the nebula was created by an expanding wave of radiation originating in the explosion interacting with surrounding material. The expansion speed dropped to 0.35c during 1996-1999. We have taken spectra of the nebula in 1998 and 1999. Only Balmer lines are detected, no He I, [O III], [O II], [N II], or [S II]. There is also no trace of the high excitation nova lines (He II, NeV, etc). The Balmer lines are unresolved in velocity (FWHM less than or equal to 100 km s(-1)). These spectra show that the nebula is nor a reflection nebula, a conventional H II region, or a shock involving motions of the gas. The integrated H alpha luminosity of the nebula between 1996 and 1999 is in the range similar or equal to 1.3-2.2 x 10(35) erg s(-1)

The re-analysis of the ROSAT data of Nova Mus 1983 using white dwarf atmosphere emission models Balman, Şölen; Krautter, J (2001-10-01) The analyses of X-ray emission from classical novae during the outburst stage have shown that the soft X-ray emission below 1 keV, which is thought to originate from the photosphere of the white dwarf, is inconsistent with the simple blackbody model of emission. Thus, ROSAT Position Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC) archival data of the classical Nova Mus 1983 (GQ Mus) have been re-analysed in order to understand the spectral development in the X-ray wavelengths during the outburst stage. The X-ray spec...
The broad-band noise characteristics of selected AXPs and SGRs: Probing the magnetar coronae Kulebi, Baybars; Balman, Şölen (2007-08-17) We present the broad-band noise structure of Anomalous X-Ray Pulsars (AXPs) and Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs) in the 2-60 keV energy band which are thought to be powered by either magnetic decay(Thompson & Duncan 1995) or accretion (Alpar 2001). We have used Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (R-XTE) PCA archival light curves and derived time series for 4 AXPs and 1 SGR. We detect that AXP and SGR sources show band limited noise at low frequencies in the range 0.005-0.05 Hz. We find that this noise level can be asso...
The broad-band noise characteristics of selected cataclysmic variables (CVS), anomalous x-ray pulsars (AXPS) and soft gamma repeaters (SGRS) Külebi, Baybars; Balman, Şölen; Department of Physics (2006) In this work present the broad-band noise structure in the 2-60 keV data of Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) with Anomalous X-Ray Pulsars (AXPs) and Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs). We analyzed Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) PCA data and derived time series from 27 CVs, 4 AXPs and 1 SGR using the RXTE archive. In general, CVs of different types all show broad band noise which can be fitted with power laws, using exponentional cut-offs, and Lorentzians in a similar way to power spectral (noise) characteristics of...
THE NOISE IN THE 35-D CYCLE OF HER X-1 Baykal, Altan; DEETER, JE; SCOTT, DM (1993-11-15) We calculate the power density spectrum of fluctuations in the X-ray turn-on times of Her X-1, including new data which extend the X-ray and optical flux observations to a span of over 20 yr with 221 distinct 35-d high-low flux cycles. If we assume that turn-on times define the period of the 35-d clock, this statistical interpretation of turn-on behaviour is consistent with a white-noise process in the first derivative of the 35-d phase fluctuations (or a random walk in clock phase). We discuss the implicat...
The adsorptıon and dıssocıatıon of AsH₃ and B₂H₆ molecules on stepped ge(100) surface Türkmenoğlu, Mustafa; Katırcıoğlu, Şenay; Department of Physics (2011) In this work, the doping processes of the SA type stepped Ge (100) surface by arsine (AsH3) and diborane (B2H6) gas flow have been simulated seperately by the possible adsorption and dissociation models. The most stable adsorption and dissociation models of AsH3 and B2H6 on stepped Ge(100) surface have been determined by the local minimum total energy and/or binding energy calculations based on Hartree-Fock Theory. The present calculations have shown that, the step region (both up and down terraces) of the ...
