Title The ANTARES telescope neutrino alert system Type Journal Article
Year 2012 Publication Astroparticle Physics Abbreviated Journal Astropart Phys.
Volume 35 Issue 8 Pages 530-536
Keywords ANTARES; Neutrino astronomy; Transient sources; Optical follow-up
Abstract The ANTARES telescope has the capability to detect neutrinos produced in astrophysical transient sources. Potential sources include gamma-ray bursts, core collapse supernovae, and flaring active galactic nuclei. To enhance the sensitivity of ANTARES to such sources, a new detection method based on coincident observations of neutrinos and optical signals has been developed. A fast online muon track reconstruction is used to trigger a network of small automatic optical telescopes. Such alerts are generated for special events, such as two or more neutrinos, coincident in time and direction, or single neutrinos of very high energy.

Title Search for signatures of magnetically-induced alignment in the arrival directions measured by the Pierre Auger Observatory Type Journal Article
Year 2012 Publication Astroparticle Physics Abbreviated Journal Astropart Phys.
Volume 35 Issue 6 Pages 354-361
Keywords Ultra-high energy cosmic rays; Pierre auger observatory; Arrival directions
Abstract We present the results of an analysis of data recorded at the Pierre Auger Observatory in which we search for groups of directionally-aligned events (or 'multiplets') which exhibit a correlation between arrival direction and the inverse of the energy. These signatures are expected from sets of events coming from the same source after having been deflected by intervening coherent magnetic fields. The observation of several events from the same source would open the possibility to accurately reconstruct the position of the source and also measure the integral of the component of the magnetic field orthogonal to the trajectory of the cosmic rays. We describe the largest multiplets found and compute the probability that they appeared by chance from an isotropic distribution. We find no statistically significant evidence for the presence of multiplets arising from magnetic deflections in the present data.

Title Measurement of the group velocity of light in sea water at the ANTARES site Type Journal Article
Year 2012 Publication Astroparticle Physics Abbreviated Journal Astropart Phys.
Volume 35 Issue 9 Pages 552-557
Keywords ANTARES; Neutrino telescope; Optical beacon system; Velocity of light; Refractive index
Abstract The group velocity of light has been measured at eight different wavelengths between 385 nm and 532 nm in the Mediterranean Sea at a depth of about 2.2 km with the ANTARES optical beacon systems. A parametrisation of the dependence of the refractive index on wavelength based on the salinity, pressure and temperature of the sea water at the ANTARES site is in good agreement with these measurements.

Title Description of atmospheric conditions at the Pierre Auger Observatory using the Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS) Type Journal Article
Year 2012 Publication Astroparticle Physics Abbreviated Journal Astropart Phys.
Volume 35 Issue 9 Pages 591-607
Keywords Cosmic rays; Extensive air showers; Atmospheric monitoring; Atmospheric models
Abstract Atmospheric conditions at the site of a cosmic ray observatory must be known for reconstructing observed extensive air showers. The Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS) is a global atmospheric model predicated on meteorological measurements and numerical weather predictions. GDAS provides altitude-dependent profiles of the main state variables of the atmosphere like temperature, pressure, and humidity. The original data and their application to the air shower reconstruction of the Pierre Auger Observatory are described. By comparisons with radiosonde and weather station measurements obtained on-site in Malargue and averaged monthly models, the utility of the GDAS data is shown.

Title Search for relativistic magnetic monopoles with the ANTARES neutrino telescope Type Journal Article
Year 2012 Publication Astroparticle Physics Abbreviated Journal Astropart Phys.
Volume 35 Issue 10 Pages 634-640
Keywords
Abstract Magnetic monopoles are predicted in various unified gauge models and could be produced at intermediate mass scales. Their detection in a neutrino telescope is facilitated by the large amount of light emitted compared to that from muons. This paper reports on a search for upgoing relativistic magnetic monopoles with the ANTARES neutrino telescope using a data set of 116 days of live time taken from December 2007 to December 2008. The one observed event is consistent with the expected atmospheric neutrino and muon background, leading to a 90% C.L. upper limit on the monopole flux between 1.3 x 10-(17) and 8.9 x 10(-17) CM-2 s(-1) sr(-1) for monopoles with velocity beta >= 0.625.
