Research in particles and fields
The astrophysical aspects of cosmic rays and gamma rays and the radiation and electromagnetic field environment of the Earth and other planets are investigated. These investigations are carried out by means of energetic particle and photon detector systems flown on spacecraft and balloons. Particle astrophysics is directed toward the investigation of galactic, solar, interplanetary, and planetary energetic particles and plasmas. The emphasis is on precision measurements with high resolution in charge, mass, and energy. Gamma ray research is directed toward the investigation of galactic, extragalactic, and solar gamma rays with spectrometers of high angular resolution and moderate energy resolution carried on spacecraft and balloons

Radio Pulse Properties of the Millisecond Pulsar PSR J0437-4715. I. Observations at 20cm
We present a total of 48 minutes of observations of the nearby, bright
millisecond pulsar PSR J0437-4715 taken at the Parkes radio observatory in
Australia. The data were obtained at a central radio frequency of 1380 MHz
using a high-speed tape recorder that permitted coherent Nyquist sampling of 50
MHz of bandwidth in each of two polarizations. Using the high time resolution
available from this voltage recording technique, we have studied a variety of
single-pulse properties, most for the first time in a millisecond pulsar. We
find no evidence for "diffractive" quantization effects in the individual pulse
arrival times or amplitudes as have been reported for this pulsar at lower
radio frequency using coarser time resolution (Ables et al. 1997). Overall, we
find that the single pulse properties of PSR J0437-4715 are similar to those of
the common slow-rotating pulsars, even though this pulsar's magnetosphere and
surface magnetic field are several orders of magnitude smaller than those of
the general population. The pulsar radio emission mechanism must therefore be
insensitive to these fundamental neutron star properties.Comment: 24 Postscript pages, 11 eps figures. Accepted for publication in the

Discovery of Pulsed X-ray Emission from the SMC Transient RX J0117.6-7330
We report on the detection of pulsed, broad-band, X-ray emission from the
transient source RX J0117.6-7330. The pulse period of 22 seconds is detected by
the ROSAT/PSPC instrument in a 1992 Sep 30 - Oct 2 observation and by the
CGRO/BATSE instrument during the same epoch. Hard X-ray pulsations are
detectable by BATSE for approximately 100 days surrounding the ROSAT
observation (1992 Aug 28 - Dec 8). The total directly measured X-ray luminosity
during the ROSAT observation is 1.0E38 (d/60 kpc)^2 ergs s-1. The pulse
frequency increases rapidly during the outburst, with a peak spin-up rate of
1.2E-10 Hz s-1 and a total frequency change 1.8%. The pulsed percentage is
11.3% from 0.1-2.5 keV, increasing to at least 78% in the 20-70 keV band. These
results establish RX J0117.6-7330 as a transient Be binary system.Comment: 17 pages, Latex, aasms, accepted for publication in ApJ Letter
Stock Walk with Consumable Deliverables: Association of Price and Dividend in the Nigerian Capital Market
This study examined the relationship between stock price and dividend per share. In the analytical framework, dividend per share (the independent variable) serves as proxy for corporate financial performance, while stock price of consumer good firms listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) features as dependent variable. The baseline assumption is that investors rely on key financial indicators (KFIs) in making rational investment decisions. All 26 consumer good firms on the Daily Official List on 31st December, 2014 were eligible for involvement, by using a profit – dividend payment filter, 18 (69%) of the firms selected. The panel data so harnessed covered a period of six years (2009-2014), and 108 observations were made. Data treatment methods include descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analyses, as well as t-test. The results established that stock price is significantly associated with dividend per share, at the 0.05 level. Against this concentric analytical outcome, it was recommended that investment analysts/managers should mine unfolding information to mind the dynamics of dividends, especially in the consumer goods market segment. In tracking and attracting greater competitive stock pricing fortunes, they should reengineer internal market mechanisms to strategically guard against scenic transaction pitfalls particularly in fragile trading settings.Key Words: Dividend, Stock market, Price
