Scientific Career

Alan Smale is currently the Director of the HEASARC, the High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center, at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Prior to this (2003-2008), he served at NASA Headquarters in Washington DC as Program Executive for Mission Operations & Data Analysis.

From 1988-2003 he was a Senior Research Scientist for USRA at the NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, specializing in the physics of low-mass X-ray binaries, the best, brightest and most variable X-ray sources in our Galaxy. During this time he also established and led the Guest Observer Facility for the RXTE X-ray astronomy satellite (launched in 1995) and the Science Support Center for the Swift gamma-ray burst chasing satellite (launched 2004).

Publications in refereed journals (Astrophysical Journal, Astronomy & Astrophysics, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Nature, and so on) are listed below, most recent first, with the lead-authored publications emphasized. Invited reviews published in book form are also included. Papers in non-refereed journals (conference proceedings, etc) are not listed here.

The bulk of the papers listed describe research at X-ray and optical energies, of low mass X-ray binaries. However, the listing also includes papers on high mass binaries, cataclysmic variables, flare stars, and AGN. Wavebands from X-ray through UV, optical, IR, and radio are represented.
