Vela-like Pulsars: A Bridge Between Young and Old

This grant was in support of a guest observation using the ASCA satellite of the young, spin-powered pulsar PSR B1706-44. The pulsar is interesting for several reasons: 1) it is young and shares many similar characteristics with the Vela pulsar, 2) it is one of a few pulsars which has been detected by the EGRET detector aboard the CGRO satellite, and 3) it is one of the confirmed sources of TeV gamma-rays discovered with ground based telescopes. The goals of the observation were to search for pulsations in the X-ray domain and to study the near stellar environment to determine if the pulsar is embedded within a compact nebula as in the case of the Vela pulsar

Letter from John P. Finley to James B. Finley

John tells of sickness and great trouble, but expresses increased faith in God. He tells of riding to Dayton to overtake a company of soldiers which included relations (Robert Hough) and boys from the old neighborhood, which made his heart sick. He followed the group for 16 miles, then removed Robert and the boys from the camp, exhorting them to stay away from wicked company. The trial for the land lawsuit is set for August.
