Observing GRBs with EXIST

TL;DR: The Energetic X-ray Imaging Survey Telescope (EXIST) as discussed by the authors was designed to carry out a sensitive all-sky survey in the 10 keV -600 keV band.

General Relativistic Magnetoionic Theory

TL;DR: In this article, the authors have developed methods for tracing rays and performing radiative transfer through a magnetoactive plasma in a general relativistic environment, and they have found that, given an appropriate environment surrounding the central black hole, it is possible to generate a significant degree of circular polarisation without an appreciable amount of linear polarisation.

The Kinematics of High Proper Motion Halo White Dwarfs

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the spectroscopic data of 99 recently discovered high proper-motion white dwarfs using a maximum-likelihood analysis, and discussed the claim that the high-velocity white dwarFS are members of a halo population with a local density at least ten times greater than traditionally assumed.
