Abstract: The data collected by the Pierre Auger Observatory are analyzed to search for coincidences between the arrival directions of high-energy cosmic rays and the positions in the sky of astrophysical transients. Special attention is directed towards gamma ray observations recorded by NASA's Swift mission, which have an angular resolution similar to that of the Auger surface detectors. In particular, we check our data for evidence of a signal associated with the giant flare that came from the soft gamma repeater 1806-20 on December 27, 2004.
An Efficient Method for the Evaluation of Secular Effects in the Perturbed Keplerian Motion

Binary systems subject to generic perturbations evolve on quasiperiodic orbits. We derive the most generic class of perturbations, which allow to evaluate secular effects via generalized complex true and eccentric anomaly parameters, by use of the residue theorem. Such perturbations include both the generic Brumberg force and various linear contributions to the conservative dynamics of compact binaries, up to the second post-Newtonian order. As an example, we compute the self-spin contribution to the luminosity due to gravitational radiation of a compact binary consisting of galactic black holes, the most important type of source for LISA. This translates to simply calculate the residue of the instantaneous energy loss in the origin of the complex parameter plane, which illustrates the power of the presented method. Subject headings: compact binaries, perturbed Keplerian motion, parametrization 1.
