investigate the characteristics of dense packets of ultracold atoms. The
transparency of the cloud is controlled by the incident light intensity as a
result of the non-linear response of the atoms to the probe beam. We detail our
experimental procedure to calibrate the imaging system for reliable
quantitative measurements, and demonstrate the use of this technique to extract
the profile and its spatial extent of an optically thick atomic cloud.

Zavizan, the highest meteorological station in Croatia(1594m) is chosen for
collecting of fog water with a standard fog collector (SFC). The highest daily
collection rate was 27.8 L / m2. The highest daily collection rate in days
without rain was 19.1 l/m2. Dew is also a noticeable source of water,
especially during the drier summer season. Dew condensers in Croatia have been
installed on the Adriatic coast (Zadar) and islands Vis and Bisevo. We report
and discuss the data collected since 2003. In the small Bisevo island, a
special roof has been designed to improve the formation and collection of dew
on a house. Data from April 2005 will be presented and discussed.

promoted to favor learning in classroom, at a distance or in a blended

educational actors (instructional designers and tutors) are far away from
theoretical results of research in education technologies. In this paper, we
consider a precise kind of situation: Instrumented Collective Learning
Situations (ICLS). By a survey on 13 fields in higher education in France,
Switzerland and Canada, we present how ICLS are designed and how teachers used
them. Conclusions give an indication on the gap between the way information
technologies are prescribed and the way they are actually used and perceived by
teachers.

J1829-098 are used to characterize its pulse shape and spectrum, and to

absorbed, hard X-ray spectrum with Gamma = 0.76+/-0.13 and N_H = (6.0+/-0.6) x
10^{22} cm^{-2} is typical of X-ray binary pulsars. The precise Chandra
localization in a faint state leads to the identification of a probable
infrared counterpart at R.A. = 18h29m43.98s, decl. = -09o51'23.0" (J2000.0)
with magnitudes K=12.7, H=13.9, I>21.9, and R>23.2. If this is a highly
reddened O or B star, we estimate a distance of 10 kpc, at which the maximum
observed X-ray luminosity is 2x10^{36} ergs s^{-1}, typical of Be X-ray
transients or wind-fed systems. The minimum observed luminosity is
3x10^{32}(d/10 kpc)^2 ergs s^{-1}. We cannot rule out the possibility that the
companion is a red giant. The two known X-ray outbursts of XTE J1829-098 are
separated by ~1.3 yr, which may be the orbital period or a multiple of it, with
the neutron star in an eccentric orbit. We also studied a late M-giant
long-period variable that we found only 9" from the X-ray position. It has a
pulsation period of ~1.5 yr, but is not the companion of the X-ray source.

dimensions and mixing matrices of leading twist conformal primary operators in
conformal field theories. Such operators lie on the unitarity bound and hence
are conserved (irreducible) in the free theory. The technique relies on the
known pattern of breaking of the irreducibility conditions in the interacting
theory. We relate the divergence of the conformal operators via the field
equations to their descendants involving an extra field and accompanied by an
extra power of the coupling constant. The ratio of the two-point functions of
descendants and of their primaries determines the anomalous dimension, allowing
us to gain an order of perturbation theory. We demonstrate the efficiency of
the formalism on the lowest-order analysis of anomalous dimensions and mixing
matrices which is required for two-loop calculations of the former. We compare
these results to another method based on anomalous conformal Ward identities
and constraints from the conformal algebra. It also permits to gain a
perturbative order in computations of mixing matrices. We show the complete
equivalence of both approaches.

became a popular subject due to their current and potential applications in
spintronics, magneto-photonics and superconductivity. When the island size is
close to the exchange length of magnetic material (around 15 nm), its magnetic
structure becomes markedly different. It determines both static and dynamic
magnetic properties of elements, but strongly depends on their shape and size.
Here we map this dependence for circular cylindrical islands of a few exchange
lengths in size. We outline the region of metastability of "C"-type magnetic
states, proving that they are indeed genuine and not a result of pinning on
particle imperfections. A way to create the smallest particles with guaranteed
magnetic vortex state at zero field becomes evident. It is expected that the
map will help focus the efforts in planning of experiments and devices.

coded mask instruments sensitive in the 2-28 keV energy band with a 40x40
square degree fields of view, pointing in opposite directions and
perpendicularly to the BeppoSAX Narrow Field Instruments (NFI). The WFCs were
usually operated simultaneously to NFI observations, each lasting up to several
days. WFCs observed thus the entire sky several times with a typical
sensitivity of 2 to 10 mCrab. A systematic analysis of all WFC observations in
the BeppoSAX archive has been carried out using the latest post-mission release
of the WFC analysis software and calibrations. The catalogue includes 253
distinct sources, obtained from a total sample of 8253 WFC detections. We
describe the basic statistical properties of the sample and present a six-year
history of two celestial calibration X-ray sources.

L1o-ordered epitaxial iron-platinum alloy layer fabricated by
magnetron-sputtering on a MgO(001) substrate. The film studied displayed a long
range chemical order parameter of S~0.90, and hence has a very strong
perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. In the diffusive electron transport regime,
for temperatures ranging from 2 K to 258 K, we found hysteresis in the
magnetoresistance mainly due to electron scattering from magnetic domain walls.
At 2 K, we observed an overall domain wall magnetoresistance of about 0.5 %. By
evaluating the spin current asymmetry alpha = sigma_up / sigma_down, we were
able to estimate the diffusive spin current polarization. At all temperatures
ranging from 2 K to 258 K, we found a diffusive spin current polarization of >
80%. To study the ballistic transport regime, we have performed point-contact
Andreev-reflection measurements at 4.2 K. We obtained a value for the ballistic
current spin polarization of ~42% (which compares very well with that of a
polycrystalline thin film of elemental Fe). We attribute the discrepancy to a
difference in the characteristic scattering times for oppositely spin-polarized
electrons, such scattering times influencing the diffusive but not the
ballistic current spin polarization.

at small-x (gluon shadowing) using high-p_T prompt photon production at RHIC
and at LHC is discussed. The per-nucleon ratio, sigma(p+A -> gamma+X) / A
sigma(p+p -> gamma+X), is computed for both inclusive and isolated prompt
photons in perturbative QCD at NLO using different parametrizations of nuclear
parton densities, in order to assess the visibility of the shadowing signal.
The production of isolated photons turns out to be a promising channel which
allows for a reliable extraction of the gluon density, G^A/G^p, and the
structure function, F_2^A/F_2^p, in a nucleus over that in a proton. Moreover,
the production ratio of prompt photons at forward-over-backward rapidity in p-A
collisions provides an estimate of G^A/G^p (at small x) over F_2^A/F_2^p (at
large x), without the need of p-p reference data at the same energy.

enhances spontaneously the synchronization when the system size is increased,

MCG-5-23-16 | 45 pages, 12 figures, 4 tables, accepted for publication in ApJ | null | 10.1086/521916 | null | astro-ph | null | We present the results of the simultaneous deep XMM and Chandra observations
of the bright Seyfert 1.9 galaxy MCG-5-23-16, which is thought to have one of
the best known examples of a relativistically broadened iron K-alpha line. The
time averaged spectral analysis shows that the iron K-shell complex is best
modeled with an unresolved narrow emission component (FWHM < 5000 km/s, EW ~ 60
eV) plus a broad component. This latter component has FWHM ~ 44000 km/s and EW
~ 50 eV. Its profile is well described by an emission line originating from an
accretion disk viewed with an inclination angle ~ 40^\circ and with the
emission arising from within a few tens of gravitational radii of the central
black hole. The time-resolved spectral analysis of the XMM EPIC-pn spectrum
shows that both the narrow and broad components of the Fe K emission line
appear to be constant in time within the errors. We detected a narrow sporadic
absorption line at 7.7 keV which appears to be variable on a time-scale of 20
ksec. If associated with Fe XXVI Ly-alpha this absorption is indicative of a
possibly variable, high ionization, high velocity outflow. The variability of
this absorption feature appears to rule out a local (z=0) origin. The analysis
of the XMM RGS spectrum reveals that the soft X-ray emission of MCG-5-23-16 is
likely dominated by several emission lines superimposed on an unabsorbed
scattered power-law continuum. The lack of strong Fe L shell emission together
with the detection of a strong forbidden line in the O VII triplet is
consistent with a scenario where the soft X-ray emission lines are produced in
a plasma photoionized by the nuclear emission.

Journal | null | 10.1086/521721 | null | astro-ph | null | We present deep HST/ACS images and Keck spectroscopy of MC2 1635+119, a QSO
hosted by a galaxy previously classified as an undisturbed elliptical. Our new
images reveal dramatic shell structure indicative of a merger event in the
relatively recent past. The brightest shells in the central regions of the host
are distributed alternately in radius, with at least two distinct shells on one
side of the nucleus and three on the other, out to a distance of ~13 kpc. The
light within the five shells comprises ~6% of the total galaxy light. Lower
surface brightness ripples or tails and other debris extend out to a distance
of ~65 kpc. A simple N-body model for a merger reproduces the inner shell
structure and gives an estimate for the age of the merger between ~30 Myr and
~1.7 Gyr, depending on a range of reasonable assumptions. While the inner shell
structure is suggestive of a minor merger, the total light contribution from
the shells and extended structures are more indicative of a major merger. The
spectrum of the host galaxy is dominated by a population of intermediate age
(~1.4 Gyr), indicating a strong starburst episode that may have occurred at the
time of the merger event. We speculate that the current QSO activity may have
been triggered in the recent past by either a minor merger, or by debris from
an older (~Gyr) major merger that is currently ``raining'' back into the
central regions of the merger remnant.

press (scheduled for November 10, 2007) | AIP Conf.Proc.1133:253-253,2009 | 10.1063/1.3155895 | null | astro-ph | null | We discuss our radio (Australia Telescope Compact Array and Australian Long
Baseline Array) and X-ray (XMM-Newton) monitoring observations of the unusual
ultraluminous supernova SN 1978K in NGC 1313 at ~25 years after the explosion.
SN 1978K is a rare example of a Type IIn supernova that has remained bright
enough to have long-term X-ray and radio observations. The observations probe
the dense medium that was ejected by the progenitor star prior to its
explosion; the star might have been a Luminous Blue Variable. The radio imaging
shows that the source remains compact, but it may be marginally resolved. The
radio monitoring shows deviations from a smooth decay suggesting that
inhomogeneities are present in the radio emitting region. It appears that a
major change occurred in the mass-loss rate of the progenitor star shortly
before the supernova event. The X-ray emission between 2000 and 2006 is
consistent with the radiation coming from two shocks. All the X-ray data can be
fit using the same model (with no systematic evolution or short-term
variability) but this has a surprising requirement: the X-ray emitting regions
have a very large abundance of helium. This would be consistent with the X-ray
emitting shocks being located in a helium-rich layer that was ejected by the
progenitor star, or helium-rich material was ejected in the supernova
explosion. The unusual properties of the supernova motivated a search for an
associated gamma-ray burst (GRB). We show that SN 1978K was inside the ~4 sigma
error box of GRB 771029. If this association is correct, the GRB was
exceptionally underluminous. However, the quality of the gamma-ray burst
locations at that time was poor, and this is likely just a chance alignment.

Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, enlarged by three right
handed neutrinos and their supersymmetric partners, and where the neutrino
masses are generated via a seesaw mechanism. Two different scenarios with
either universal or non-universal soft supersymmetry breaking Higgs masses at
the gauge coupling unification scale are considered. In the first part we
present a complete one-loop computation of the conversion rate for this process
that includes the photon-, $Z$-boson, and Higgs-boson penguins, as well as box
diagrams, and compare their size in the two considered scenarios. Then, in
these two scenarios we analyse the relevance of the various parameters on the
conversion rates, particularly emphasising the role played by the heavy
neutrino masses, $\tan \beta$, and especially $\theta_{13}$. In the case of
hierachical heavy neutrinos, an extremely high sensitivity of the rates to
$\theta_{13}$ is indeed found. The last part of this work is devoted to the
study of the interesting loss of correlation between the $\mu-e$ conversion and
$\mu \to e \gamma$ rates that occurs in the non-universal scenario. In the case
of large $\tan \beta$ and light $H^0$ Higgs boson an enhanced ratio of the
$\mu-e$ to $\mu \to e \gamma$ rates, with respect to the universal case is
found, and this could be tested with the future experimental sensitivities.

the parent gauge symmetry of the Standard Model (SM). This implements direct
mediation of supersymmetry breaking without the need for an additional
messenger sector. A reasonable choice of parameters leads to gaugino masses of
the right order. Finally, we speculate that the entire ``ISS x SM'' model
should be interpreted as a magnetic dual of an (unknown) asymptotically free
theory.

the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model. We analyze the lowest dimension
operator involving an unparticle. This operator behaves as a Standard Model
gauge singlet and it introduces a new parameter into the Higgs potential which
can provide an alternative way to relax the upper limit on the lightest Higgs
boson mass. This operator also introduces several unparticle interactions which
can induce a neutral Higgsino to decay into a spinor unparticle. It also
induces violation of scale invariance around the electroweak scale. It is
necessary for the scale of this violation to be larger than the lightest
supersymmetric particle mass to maintain the latter as the usual weakly
interacting massive particle dark matter candidate. An alternative is to have
unparticle state as dark matter candidate. We also comment on some collider
implications.

each other is an important ingredient in galaxy formation models. Accurate
estimates of merging timescales are required for predictions of astrophysical
quantities such as black hole binary merger rates, the build-up of stellar mass
in central galaxies, and the statistical properties of satellite galaxies
within dark matter halos. In this paper, we study the merging timescales of
extended dark matter halos using N-body simulations. We compare these results
to standard estimates based on the Chandrasekhar theory of dynamical friction.
We find that these standard predictions for merging timescales, which are often
used in semi-analytic galaxy formation models, are systematically shorter than
those found in simulations. The discrepancy is approximately a factor of 1.7
for $M_sat/M_host \approx 0.1$ and becomes larger for more disparate
satellite-to-host mass ratios, reaching a factor of $\sim 3.3$ for
$M_sat/M_host\approx 0.01$. Based on our simulations, we propose a new, easily
implementable fitting formula that accurately predicts the timescale for an
extended satellite to sink from the virial radius of a host halo down to the
halo's center for a wide range of $M_sat/M_host$ and orbits. Including a
central bulge in each galaxy changes the merging timescale by $\la 10%$. To
highlight one concrete application of our results, we show that merging
timescales often used in the literature overestimate the growth of stellar mass
by satellite accretion by $\approx 40 %$, with the extra mass gained in low
mass ratio mergers.

simulations on a SU(2) symmetric S=1/2 quantum antiferromagnet with a four-spin
interaction [Sandvik, Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 227202 (2007)]. Our simulations,
which are free of the sign-problem and carried out on lattices containing in
excess of 1.6 X 10^4 spins, indicate that the four-spin interaction destroys
the N\'eel order at an unconventional z=1 quantum critical point, producing a
valence-bond solid paramagnet. Our results are consistent with the `deconfined
quantum criticality' scenario.

Distribution Fitting | 27 pages, 12 figures. Accepted for publication in the ApJ | null | 10.1086/521588 | null | astro-ph | null | We present a new multi-component spectral energy distribution (SED)
decomposition method and use it to analyze the ultraviolet to millimeter
wavelength SEDs of a sample of dusty infrared-luminous galaxies. SEDs are
constructed from spectroscopic and photometric data obtained with the Spitzer
Space Telescope, in conjunction with photometry from the literature. Each SED
is decomposed into emission from populations of stars, an AGN accretion disk,
PAHs, atomic and molecular lines, and distributions of graphite and silicate
grains. Decompositions of the SEDs of the template starburst galaxies NGC7714
and NGC2623 and the template AGNs PG0804+761 and Mrk463 provide baseline
properties to aid in quantifying the strength of star-formation and accretion
in the composite systems NGC6240 and Mrk1014. We find that obscured radiation
from stars is capable of powering the total dust emission from NGC6240,
although we cannot rule out a contribution from a deeply embedded AGN visible
only in X-rays. The decomposition of Mrk1014 is consistent with ~65% of its
power emerging from an AGN and ~35% from star-formation. We suggest that many
of the variations in our template starburst SEDs may be explained in terms of
the different mean optical depths through the clouds of dust surrounding the
young stars within each galaxy. Prompted by the divergent far-IR properties of
our template AGNs, we suggest that variations in the relative orientation of
their AGN accretion disks with respect to the disks of the galaxies hosting
them may result in different amounts of AGN-heated cold dust emission emerging
from their host galaxies. We estimate that 30-50% of the far-IR and PAH
emission from Mrk1014 may originate from such AGN-heated material in its host
galaxy disk.

limit on the photoassociation rate, is identified with a transient regime of
the two-atom dynamics exhibiting universal properties. Finally, we illustrate
how these regimes could be explored by photoassociating condensates of
alkaline-earth atoms.

are excellent standard candles, although their luminosities and corresponding
distance estimates can be affected by the particular properties of the host
galaxy. Therefore, the accurate analysis of the Cepheid population in other
galaxies, and notably in the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), is crucial to obtaining
reliable distance determinations. We obtained accurate photometry (in B and V
passbands) of 416 Cepheids in M31 over a five year campaign within a survey
aimed at the detection of eclipsing binaries. The resulting Cepheid sample is
the most complete in M31 and has almost the same period distribution as the
David Dunlap Observatory sample in the Milky Way. The large number of epochs
(~250 per filter) has permitted the characterisation of the pulsation modes of
356 Cepheids, with 281 of them pulsating in the fundamental mode and 75 in the
first overtone. The period-luminosity relationship of the fundamental mode
Cepheids has been studied and a new approach has been used to estimate the
effect of blending. We find that the blending contribution is as important as
the metallicity correction when computing Cepheid distance determinations to
M31 (~0.1 mag). Since large amplitude Cepheids are less affected by blending,
we have used those with an amplitude A_V>0.8 mag to derive a distance to M31 of
(m-M)_0=24.32+/-0.12 mag.

nanoribbon as the channel. Similar to the conventional spin FETs, the device
involves ferromagnetic metals as a source and drain; they, in turn, are
connected to the graphene channel. Due to the negligible spin-orbital coupling
in the carbon based materials, the bias can accomplishes spin manipulation by
means of electrical control of electron exchange interaction with a
ferromagnetic dielectric attached to the nanoribbon between source and drain.
The numerical estimations show the feasibility of graphene-based spin FET if a
bias varies exchange interaction on the amount around 5 meV. It was shown that
the device stability to the thermal dispersion can provide the armchair
nanoribbons of specific width that keeps the Dirac point in electron dispersion
law.

Zel'dovich pancakes. We study how the various effects of these theories, such
as a fifth force in the dark sector and a modified particle Hubble drag,
produce variations in the redshifts of caustic formation and the present-day
density profiles of pancakes. We compare our results in direct simulation to a
perturbation theory approach for the dark energy scalar field. We determine the
range of initial scalar field amplitudes for which perturbation theory is
accurate in describing the development of the pancakes. Notably, we find that
perturbative methods which neglect kinetic terms in the scalar field equation
of motion are not valid for arbitrarily small perturbations. We also examine
whether models that have been tuned to match the constraints of current
observations can produce new observable effects in the nonlinear structure of
pancakes. Our results suggest that a fully realistic three-dimensional
simulation will produce significant new observable features, such as
modifications to the mass function and halo radial density profile shapes, that
can be used to distinguish these models from standard concordance cosmology and
from each other.

with the interstellar magnetic field. Observations of optical polarization of
stars beyond the heliosphere nose, suggest the direction of the upwind
interstellar magnetic field is relatively constant. The polarizations of nearby
stars and offset angle between HeI and HeI flowing into the heliosphere have
position angles in galactic coordinates of 30- 40 deg, indicating a local
magnetic field direction inclined by ~55 deg and ~65 deg, respectively, with
respect to the galactic and ecliptic planes. The hot and cold poles of the
measured Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) dipole moment are nearly symmetric
around the heliosphere nose direction, and the v^{22} quadrupole vector is
directed towards the heliosphere nose. The area vectors of the CMB quadrupole
and ocotopole moments are directed towards the band perpendicular to the
ecliptic plane formed by the alternate locations for the 3 kHz emissions
detected by Voyagers 1 and 2. In the upwind direction, the position angle of
the null plane separating the CMB dipole hot and cold poles is nearly aligned
with the interstellar magnetic field direction at the Sun. Heliospheric
foreground contamination of the low-$\ell$ CMB modes now requires detailed
study.

conclude that current predictions and limits on the total length of strings on
the sky imply optical depths of $\la 10^{-8}$ and event rates of fewer than one
event per $10^9$ sources per year. Disregarding those predictions but replacing
them with limits on the density of cosmic strings from the CMB fluctuation
spectrum, leaves only a small region of parameter space (in which the sky
contains about $3\times10^5$ strings with deficit angle of order 0.3

the presence of the unpaired (anti)quark. This effect vanishes as the motion of
the additional particle becomes relativistic with respect to the pair, and is
completely absent for massless quarks and gluons in the final state.

We prove the $\epsilon$-regularity lemma for the K\"ahler-Ricci flow, based

lemma we derive the compactness result for the K\"ahler-Ricci flow. Under our
assumptions, if $k \ge 3$ in addition, using the compactness result we show
that $|\rem| \le C$ holds uniformly along the flow. This means the flow does
not develop any singularities at infinity. We use some ideas of Tian from

stochastic forcing by turbulent gas. We include the orbital dynamics of
Keplerian disks, both in-plane epicycles and vertical oscillations. We obtain a
new result for the diffusion of solids. The Schmidt number (ratio of gas to
particle diffusivity) is Sc = 1 + (Omega t_stop)^2, in terms of the particle
stopping time, t_stop, and the orbital frequency, Omega. The standard result,
Sc = 1 + t_stop/t_eddy, in terms of the eddy turnover time, t_eddy, is shown to
be incorrect. The main difference is that Sc rises quadratically, not linearly,
with stopping time. Consequently, particles larger than ~ 10 cm in
protoplanetary disks will suffer less radial diffusion and will settle closer
to the midplane. Such a layer of boulders would be more prone to gravitational
collapse. Our predictions of RMS speeds, vertical scale height and diffusion
coefficients will help interpret numerical simulations. We confirm previous
results for the vertical stirring of particles (scale heights and random
velocities), and add a correction for arbitrary ratios of eddy to orbital
times. The particle layer becomes thinner for t_eddy > 1/Omega, with the
strength of turbulent diffusion held fixed. We use two analytic techniques --
the Hinze-Tchen formalism and the Fokker-Planck equation with velocity
diffusion -- with identical results when the regimes of validity overlap. We
include simple physical arguments for the scaling of our results.

Rev. D | Phys.Rev.D76:047703,2007 | 10.1103/PhysRevD.76.047703 | CSULB-PA-07-05 | hep-th | null | We formulate a theory for N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills multiplet in a
non-adjoint representation R of SO(N) as an important application of our
recently-proposed model for N=1 supersymmetry. This system is obtained by
dimensional reduction from an N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills multiplet in
non-adjoint representation in ten dimensions. The consistency with
supersymmetry requires that the non-adjoint representation R with the indices
i, j, ... satisfy the three conditions \eta^{i j} = \delta^{i j}, (T^I)^{i j} =
- (T^I)^{j i} and (T^I)^{[ i j |} (T^I)^{| k ] l} = 0 for the metric \eta^{i j}
and the generators T^I, which are the same as the N=1 case.

Model in the Symbiotic Stars V1016 Cygni and HM Sagittae | 11 pages, 9 figures, accepted for publication in ApJ | null | 10.1086/521719 | null | astro-ph | null | We present the high resolution spectra of the D type symbiotic stars V1016
Cygni and HM Sagittae obtained with the Bohyunsan Optical Echelle Spectrograph
(BOES), and investigate the double-peaked asymmetric profiles of the Raman
scattered O VI 6825. By adopting a wind accretion disk model, we assume that
the O VI emission region is described by a Keplerian thin disk. The Raman
scattering occurs in a neutral region near the giant, taking in the form of a
slow stellar wind, part of which is ionized by the strong UV radiation from the
hot white dwarf. Using a Monte Carlo technique, we compute the line profiles
that are modulated by the slow spherical stellar wind from the giant component
with the ionization front approximated by a hyperboloid. In order to account
for the asymmetry and the existence of a central dip in the profiles, we add an
O VI resonance scattering region between the hot white dwarf and the giant star
which hinders the incidence of slightly blue O VI photons upon the H I region.
Overall good fits to the observed data are obtained from our model, which lends
support to the accretion disk emission model in these objects. The best fitting
parameters for V1016 Cyg are $v_o=30{\rm km s^{-1}}$,
$v_\infty=11{\rm km s^{-1}}$, and $v_{c}=10{\rm km s^{-1}}$, where $v_o$,
$v_\infty$ and $v_{c}$ are the velocity of the outer disk rim, the terminal
velocity of the giant wind, and the velocity component of the resonance
scattering O VI region along the binary axis, respectively. Similar fitting
parameters $v_o=27{\rm km s^{-1}}$, $v_\infty=10{\rm km s^{-1}}$ and
$v_{c}=9{\rm km s^{-1}}$ are obtained for HM Sge. We also investigate the
effect of a hot spot in a disk that is well known in accretion disks in
cataclysmic variables.

region in the R Corona Australis molecular cloud. Our observations include 1.1
mm continuum and HCO^+ J = $3 \to 2$ images from the SMA, ^{12}CO J = $3 \to 2$
outflow maps from the DesertStar heterodyne array receiver on the HHT, 450
$\mu$m and 850 $\mu$m continuum images from SCUBA, and archival Spitzer IRAC
and MIPS 24 \micron images. The accurate astrometry of the IRAC images allow us
to identify IRS 7 with the cm source VLA 10W (IRS 7A) and the X-ray source X_W.
The SMA 1.1 mm image reveals two compact continuum sources which are also
distinguishable at 450 $\mu$m. SMA 1 coincides with X-ray source CXOU
J190156.4-365728 and VLA cm source 10E (IRS 7B) and is seen in the IRAC and
MIPS images. SMA 2 has no infrared counterpart but coincides with cm source VLA
9. Spectral energy distributions constructed from SMA, SCUBA and Spitzer data
yield bolometric temperatures of 83 K for SMA 1 and $\leq$70 K for SMA 2. These
temperatures along with the submillimeter to total luminosity ratios indicate
that SMA 2 is a Class 0 protostar, while SMA 1 is a Class 0/Class I
transitional object (L=$17\pm6$ \Lsun). The ^{12}CO J = $3 \to 2$ outflow map
shows one major and possibly several smaller outflows centered on the IRS 7
region, with masses and energetics consistent with previous work. We identify
the Class 0 source SMA 2/VLA 9 as the main driver of this outflow. The complex
and clumpy spatial and velocity distribution of the HCO^+ J = $3 \to 2$
emission is not consistent with either bulk rotation, or any known molecular
outflow activity.

errors due to inaccurate template waveforms | RevTeX4, 16 pages, 2 EPS figures. Corrected typos, clarified
statements | Phys.Rev.D76:104018,2007 | 10.1103/PhysRevD.76.104018 | null | gr-qc | null | The planned Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is expected to detect
the inspiral and merger of massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) at z <~ 5 with
signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) of hundreds to thousands. Because of these high
SNRs, and because these SNRs accrete over periods of weeks to months, it should
be possible to extract the physical parameters of these systems with high
accuracy; for instance, for a ~ 10^6 Msun MBHBs at z = 1 it should be possible
to determine the two masses to ~ 0.1% and the sky location to ~ 1 degree.
However, those are just the errors due to noise: there will be additional
"theoretical" errors due to inaccuracies in our best model waveforms, which are
still only approximate. The goal of this paper is to estimate the typical
magnitude of these theoretical errors. We develop mathematical tools for this
purpose, and apply them to a somewhat simplified version of the MBHB problem,
in which we consider just the inspiral part of the waveform and neglect
spin-induced precession, eccentricity, and PN amplitude corrections. For this
simplified version, we estimate that theoretical uncertainties in sky position
will typically be ~ 1 degree, i.e., comparable to the statistical uncertainty.
For the mass and spin parameters, our results suggest that while theoretical
errors will be rather small absolutely, they could still dominate over
statistical errors (by roughly an order of magnitude) for the strongest
sources. The tools developed here should be useful for estimating the magnitude
of theoretical errors in many other problems in gravitational-wave astronomy.

electron-hole binding energy for both bright and dark exciton states (0.8-1.4
eV for GNRs with width w ~ 1.2 nm) and dramatically changes the optical spectra
owing to a near complete transfer of oscillator strength to the exciton states
from the continuum transitions. The characteristics of the excitons of the
three distinct families of AGNRs are compared and discussed. The enhanced
excitonic effects found here are expected to be of importance in optoelectronic
applications of graphene-based nanostructures.

gravitational waves. We see that models with purely Newtonian field are
inconsistent with relativistic models and obstruct sounding solutions.
Therefore, both fields are necessary for the nonlocal nature and radiative
solutions of gravitation.

in extended systems are derived using quantum-classical ensembles within the
Non-Equilibrium Statistical Operator Method (NESOM). Ions are treated
classically, while their electrons quantum mechanically; however, the
statistical operator is not factorised in any way and no simplifying
assumptions are made concerning the electronic subsystem. Using this method, we
derive kinetic equations of motion for the classical degrees of freedom (atoms)
which account fully for the interaction and energy exchange with the quantum
variables (electrons). Our equations, alongside the usual Newtonian-like terms
normally associated with the Ehrenfest dynamics, contain additional terms,
proportional to the atoms velocities, which can be associated with the
electronic friction. Possible ways of calculating the friction forces which are
shown to be given via complicated non-equilibrium correlation functions, are
discussed. In particular, we demonstrate that the correlation functions are
directly related to the thermodynamic Matsubara Green's functions, and this
relationship allows for the diagrammatic methods to be used in treating
electron-electron interaction perturbatively when calculating the correlation
functions. This work also generalises previous attempts, mostly based on model
systems, of introducing the electronic friction into Molecular Dynamics
equations of atoms.

Phys. 45(2007)592-605 | null | null | gr-qc | null | We study the consequences of timelike and spaccelike conformal Ricci and
conformal matter collineations for anisotropic fluid in the context of General
Relativity. Necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for a spacetime
with anisotropic fluid to admit conformal Ricci and conformal matter
collineations parallel to u^a and x^a. These conditions for timelike and
spacelike conformal Ricci and conformal matter collineations for anisotropic
fluid reduce to the conditions of perfect fluid when the heat flux and the
traceless anisotropic stress tensor vanish. Further, for $\alpha=0$ (the
conformal factor), we recover the earlier results of Ricci collineations and
matter collineations in each case of timelike and spacelike conformal Ricci
collineations and conformal matter collineations for the perfect fluid. Thus
our results give the generalization of the results already available in the
literature. It is worth noticing that the conditions of conformal matter
collineations can be derived from the conditions of conformal Ricci
collineations or vice versa under certain constraints.

STAR, PHOBOS and BRAHMS detectors, have all indicated a suppression of neutral
pion production, relative to an appropriately normalized NN level. For central
collisions and vanishing pseudo-rapidity these experiments exhibit suppression
in charged meson production, especially at medium to large transverse momenta.
In the PHENIX experiment similar behavior has been reported for $\pi^0$
spectra.
In a recent work on the simpler D+Au interaction, to be considered perhaps as
a tune-up for Au+Au, we reported on a pre-hadronic cascade mechanism which
explains the mixed observation of moderately reduced $p_\perp$ suppression at
higher pseudo-rapidity as well as the Cronin enhancement at mid-rapidity. Here
we present the extension of this work to the more massive ion-ion collisions.
Our major thesis is that much of the suppression is generated in a late stage
cascade of colourless pre-hadrons produced after an initial short-lived
coloured phase. We present a pQCD argument to justify this approach and to
estimate the time duration $\tau_p$ of this initial phase. Of essential
importance is the brevity in time of the coloured phase existence relative to
that of the strongly interacting pre-hadron phase. The split into two phases is
of course not sharp in time, but adequate for treating the suppression of
moderate and high $p_\perp$ mesons.

implemented a parallel direct N-body simulation program with shared time-step

potential barrier. A uniform one-Tesla Zeeman field is applied throughout the
system. We find that with the increase in the potential barrier, the low
density electrons under it go from a non-magnetic state to an antiferromagnetic
state, and then to a state with a well-localized spin-aligned region isolated
by two antiferromagnetic regions from the high density leads. At this final
stage, in response to a continuously increasing barrier potential, the system
undergoes a series of abrupt density changes, corresponding to the successive
expulsion of a single electron from the spin-aligned region under the barrier.
Motivated by the recent momentum-resolved tunneling experiments in a parallel
wire geometry, we also compute the momentum resolved tunneling matrix elements.
Our calculations suggest that the eigenstates being expelled are spatially
localized, consistent with the experimental observations. However, additional
mechanisms are needed to account for the experimentally observed large spectral
weight at near $k=0$ in the tunneling matrix elements.

(sdM), extreme subdwarfs (esdM), and ultra subdwarfs (usdM) | 15 pages, accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal | null | 10.1086/521614 | null | astro-ph | null | The current classification system of M stars on the main sequence
distinguishes three metallicity classes (dwarfs - dM, subdwarfs - sdM, and
extreme subdwarfs - esdM). The spectroscopic definition of these classes is
based on the relative strength of prominent CaH and TiO molecular absorption
bands near 7000A, as quantified by three spectroscopic indices (CaH2, CaH3, and
TiO5). We re-examine this classification system in light of our ongoing
spectroscopic survey of stars with proper motion \mu > 0.45 "/yr, which has
increased the census of spectroscopically identified metal-poor M stars to over
400 objects. Kinematic separation of disk dwarfs and halo subdwarfs suggest
deficiencies in the current classification system. Observations of common
proper motion doubles indicates that the current dM/sdM and sdM/esdM boundaries
in the [TiO5,CaH2+CaH3] index plane do not follow iso-metallicity contours,
leaving some binaries inappropriately classified as dM+sdM or sdM+esdM. We
propose a revision of the classification system based on an empirical
calibration of the TiO/CaH ratio for stars of near solar metallicity. We
introduce the parameter \zeta_{TiO/CaH} which quantifies the weakening of the
TiO bandstrength due to metallicity effect, with values ranging from
\zeta_{TiO/CaH}=1 for stars of near-solar metallicity to \zeta_{TiO/CaH}~0 for
the most metal-poor (and TiO depleted) subdwarfs. We redefine the metallicity
classes based on the value of the parameter \zeta_{TiO/CaH}; and refine the
scheme by introducing an additional class of ultra subdwarfs (usdM). We
introduce sequences of sdM, esdM, and usdM stars to be used as formal
classification standards.

$\Theta(n^{-3/2})$.

numerical evidence that the continuity of the transition depends on the

exhibits the qualitative behaviors characteristic of a variety of considerably
more complicated models. In addition, we study the microscopic basis of
synchronization above threshold and detail the counterintuitive subtleties
relating measurements of time averaged frequencies and mean field oscillations.
Most notably, we observe a state of suprathreshold partial synchronization in
which time-averaged frequency measurements from individual oscillators do not
correspond to the frequency of macroscopic oscillations observed in the

allows us to use a conventional Alamouti receiver without change for the

electric field at various energies, focusing on RbCs and RbK. An external
electric field polarizes the molecules and induces strong dipolar interactions
leading to non-zero partial waves contributing to the scattering even as the
collision energy goes to zero. This results in the need to compute scattering
problems with many different values of total M to converge the total cross
section. An accurate and efficient approximate total cross section is
introduced and used to study the low field temperature dependence. To
understand the scattering of the polar molecules we compare a semi-classical
cross section with quantum unitarity limit. This comparison leads to the
ability to characterize the scattering based on the value of the electric field
and the collision energy.

additional scattering mechanism involving midgap states which leads to a
similar k-dependence of the relaxation time as charged impurities. The new
scattering mechanism can account for the experimental findings such as the
sublinear behavior of the conductivity versus gate voltage and the increase of
the minimal conductivity for clean samples. We also discuss temperature
dependent scattering due to acoustic phonons.

astrophysics | 5 pages 1 figure | null | null | null | physics.gen-ph | null | Assuming a spherical symmetry, the extreme UV emitted by a very hot source
ionizes low pressure molecular hydrogen making a transparent bubble of H II
(Protons and electrons). For an increase of radius, intensity of extreme UV and
temperature decrease, so that the plasma contains more and more atoms. A
spherical shell, mainly of neutral atoms (H I) appears. If this shell is
optically thick at Lyman frequencies of H I, it is superradiant and a
competition of modes selects modes tangent to a sphere for which many atoms are
excited. Thus, a shell of plasma emits, into a given direction, tangential rays
showing a ring in which selected modes are brighter. While at Lyman
frequencies, absorption of rays emitted by the source excites the atoms able to
amplify the superradiance, a more powerful amplification of superradiance
results from an induced scattering of the radial beams, which extends to feet
of lines and progressively to the whole spectrum. Thermodynamics says that the
brightness of radial and tangential beams tends to be equal; if the solid angle
of observation is much larger for the ring than for the source, almost the
whole light emitted by the source is transferred to the rings, and the source
becomes invisible. Paradoxically, a glow due to incoherent scattering and
impurities around the source remains visible. As the scattering decreases with
the decrease of the radial intensity, the brightness of the ring decreases with
radius. These characteristics are found in supernova remnant 1987A.

four-dimensional spacetime | Departamento de Fisica Teorica-UERJ-Rio-Brasil | null | null | null | astro-ph | null | It is shown that the existence of the cosmic kinematic fast dynamos in
Bianchi type IX rotating cosmological models, faces severe difficulties, due to
the fact that in these models rotation increases without bounds, which is
strictly forbidden by CMB astronomical date which imposes strong bounds on its
rotation with respect with its rapid expansion. The only way out of this
difficulty is to assume that at least one of the expansion directions of this
anisotropic universe decays as fast as the amplification rate of primordial
magnetic fields. A solution is found where only one direction of the
anisotropic universe expands while the other two remain constants. We compute
an amplification of the seed magnetic field in the case where Bianchi IX
degenerates into de Sitter metric, fields amplify from 10^{-6}G to 10^{-5}G in
spiral galaxies for a cosmological constant of the order
$|{\Lambda}|<10^{33}s^{-2}$ and considering that the age of universe of the
order of 10^{10}yrs. Another example is given by the ABC chaotic flows in the
pseudo-Riemannian spacetime representing the Kasner anisotropic nonsingular
universe.

Tracking | null | null | null | null | stat.AP | null | This paper defines and implements a non-Bayesian fusion rule for combining
densities of probabilities estimated by local (non-linear) filters for tracking
a moving target by passive sensors. This rule is the restriction to a strict
probabilistic paradigm of the recent and efficient Proportional Conflict
Redistribution rule no 5 (PCR5) developed in the DSmT framework for fusing
basic belief assignments. A sampling method for probabilistic PCR5 (p-PCR5) is
defined. It is shown that p-PCR5 is more robust to an erroneous modeling and
allows to keep the modes of local densities and preserve as much as possible
the whole information inherent to each densities to combine. In particular,
p-PCR5 is able of maintaining multiple hypotheses/modes after fusion, when the
hypotheses are too distant in regards to their deviations. This new p-PCR5 rule
has been tested on a simple example of distributed non-linear filtering
application to show the interest of such approach for future developments. The
non-linear distributed filter is implemented through a basic particles
filtering technique. The results obtained in our simulations show the ability
of this p-PCR5-based filter to track the target even when the models are not
well consistent in regards to the initialization and real cinematic.

presence of a magnetic field component perpendicular to the ladder plane.
Combining both low-energy approach (bosonization) and numerical simulations
(density-matrix renormalization group) on the strong coupling limit (t-J
model), a rich phase diagram is established as a function of hole doping and
magnetic flux. Above a critical flux, the spin gap is destroyed and a Luttinger
liquid phase is stabilized. Above a second critical flux, a reentrance of the
spin gap at high magnetic flux is found. Interestingly, the phase transitions
are associated with a change of sign of the orbital susceptibility. Focusing on
the small magnetic field regime, the spin-gapped superconducting phase is
robust but immediately acquires algebraic transverse (i.e. along rungs) current
correlations which are commensurate with the 4k_F density correlations. In
addition, we have computed the zero-field orbital susceptibility for a large
range of doping and interactions ratio J/t : we found strong anomalies at low
J/t only in the vicinity of the commensurate fillings corresponding to delta =
1/4 and 1/2. Furthermore, the behavior of the orbital susceptibility reveals
that the nature of these insulating phases is different: while for delta = 1/4
a 4k_F charge density wave is confirmed, the delta = 1/2 phase is shown to be a
bond order wave.

broken SU(2) gauge symmetry (scale $\sim 10^{-4} $eV) we make predictions for
temperature offsets due to a low-temperature (a few times the present CMB
temperature) spectral anomaly at low frequencies. Temperature offsets are
extracted from least-square fits of the anomalous black-body spectra to their
conventional counterparts. We discuss statistical errors, compare our results
with those obtained from calibration data of the FIRAS instrument, and point
out that our predicted offsets are screened by experimental errors given the
frequency range used by FIRAS to perform their spectral fits. We also make
contact with the WMAP observation by blueshifting their frequency bands.
Although our results hint towards a strong dynamical component in the CMB
dipole and an explanation of low-$l$ suppression it is important in view of its
particle-physics implications that the above postulate be verified/falsified by
an independent low-temperature black-body precision experiment.

interactions between stars, and physical collisions between stars may occur
quite frequently. Simulating a stellar collision event can be an intensive
numerical task, as detailed calculations of this process require hydrodynamic
simulations in three dimensions. We present a computationally inexpensive
method in which we approximate the merger process, including shock heating,
hydrodynamic mixing and mass loss, with a simple algorithm based on
conservation laws and a basic qualitative understanding of the hydrodynamics of
stellar mergers. The algorithm relies on Archimedes' principle to dictate the
distribution of the fluid in the stable equilibrium situation. We calibrate and
apply the method to mergers of massive stars, as these are expected to occur in
young and dense star clusters. We find that without the effects of microscopic
mixing, the temperature and chemical composition profiles in a collision
product can become double-valued functions of enclosed mass. Such an unphysical
situation is mended by simulating microscopic mixing as a post-collision
effect. In this way we find that head-on collisions between stars of the same
spectral type result in substantial mixing, while mergers between stars of
different spectral type, such as type B and O stars ($\sim$10 and $\sim$40\msun
respectively), are subject to relatively little hydrodynamic mixing.

impact and the Na clusters are always captured by the Ar surface. The

velocity of sound. The relaxation of shapes goes at a slower pace using times
of several ps. It produces a substantial rearrangement of the Ar system while
the Na cluster remains rather robust.

Math | null | null | null | math.CA | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | We prove that for all p>1/2 there exists a constant $\gamma_p>0$ such that,
for any symmetric measurable set of positive measure $E\subset \TT$ and for any
$\gamma<\gamma_p$, there is an idempotent trigonometrical polynomial f
satisfying $\int_E |f|^p > \gamma \int_{\TT} |f|^p$. This disproves a
conjecture of Anderson, Ash, Jones, Rider and Saffari, who proved the existence
of $\gamma_p>0$ for p>1 and conjectured that it does not exists for p=1.
Furthermore, we prove that one can take $\gamma_p=1$ when p>1 is not an even
integer, and that polynomials f can be chosen with arbitrarily large gaps when
$p\neq 2$. This shows striking differences with the case p=2, for which the
best constant is strictly smaller than 1/2, as it has been known for twenty
years, and for which having arbitrarily large gaps with such concentration of
the integral is not possible, according to a classical theorem of Wiener.
We find sharper results for $0<p\leq 1$ when we restrict to open sets, or
when we enlarge the class of idempotent trigonometric polynomials to all
positive definite ones.

angle \theta_{13}, sources of CP violation in neutrino oscillations, to be
uniquely responsible for the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry of the
universe through leptogenesis. We show that this scenario, that we call
\delta-leptogenesis, is viable when the degenerate limit (DL) for the heavy
right-handed (RH) neutrino spectrum is considered. We derive an interesting
joint condition on \sin\theta_{13} and the absolute neutrino mass scale that
can be tested in future neutrino oscillation experiments. In the limit of
hierarchical heavy RH neutrino spectrum (HL), we strengthen the previous result
that \delta-leptogenesis is only very marginally allowed, even when the
production from the two heavier RH neutrinos is taken into account. An improved
experimental upper bound on \sin\theta_{13} and (or) an account of quantum
kinetic effects could completely rule out this option in the future. Therefore,
\delta-leptogenesis can be also regarded as a motivation for models with
degenerate heavy neutrino spectrum.

question necessity for such strict restriction in the context of theories with
broken symmetries. In particular, we consider parabose N=4 algebra as an
extension of conformal supersymmetry in four dimensions (coinciding with the,

manifest Lorentz covariance leads to interpretation of the generalized

"rotation" groups. It is possible to reduce this large symmetry down to
observable one by simply breaking one of these two SU(2) isomorphic groups down

representation of bound states with a fixed number of constituents and, in the
heavy quark limit, form factors of currents satisfy covariance and Isgur-Wise
scaling. We compute the Light Cone Distribution Amplitudes of $B$ mesons
$\phi_{\pm}^B(\omega)$ as well as the Shape Function $S(\omega)$, that enters
in the decay $B \to X_s \gamma$, that are also covariant in this class of
models. The LCDA and the SF are related through the quark model wave function.
The former satisfy, in the limit of vanishing constituent light quark mass, the
integral relation given by QCD in the valence sector of Fock space. Using a
gaussian wave function, the obtained $S(\omega)$ is identical to the so-called
Roman Shape Function. From the parameters for the latter that fit the $B \to
X_s\gamma$ spectrum we predict the behaviour of $\phi_{\pm}^B(\omega)$. We
discuss the important role played by the constituent light quark mass. In
particular, although $\phi_-^B(0) \not= 0$ for vanishing light quark mass, a
non-vanishing mass implies the unfamiliar result $\phi_-^B (0) = 0$. Moreover,
we incorporate the short distance behaviour of QCD to $\phi_+^B (\omega)$,
which has sizeable effects at large $\omega$. We obtain the values for the
parameters $\bar{\Lambda} \cong 0.35$ GeV and $\lambda_B^{-1} \cong 1.43$
GeV$^{-1}$. We compare with other theoretical approaches and illustrate the
great variety of models found in the literature for the functions $\phi_{\pm}^B
(\omega)$; hence the necessity of imposing further constraints as in the
present paper. We briefly review also the different phenomena that are
sensitive to the LCDA.

0707.3028 | Stefan Gerhold | S. Gerhold, R. Warnung | Finding Efficient Recursions for Risk Aggregation by Computer Algebra | null | null | null | null | math.PR | null | We derive recursions for the probability distribution of random sums by
computer algebra. Unlike the well-known Panjer-type recursions, they are of
finite order and thus allow for computation in linear time. This efficiency is
bought by the assumption that the probability generating function of the claim
size be algebraic. The probability generating function of the claim number is
supposed to be from the rather general class of D-finite functions.

0707.3029 | Georg Knebel | A. Villaume, D. Aoki, Y. Haga, G. Knebel, R. Boursier, J. Flouquet | Collapse of antiferromagnetism in CeRh2Si2 : volume versus entropy | 13 pages, 8 figures | null | 10.1088/0953-8984/20/01/015203 | null | cond-mat.str-el | null | The thermal expansion of the heavy fermion compound CeRh2Si2 has been
measured under pressure as a function of temperature using strain gages. A
large anomaly associated to the Neel temperature has been detected even above
the suspected critical pressure Pc = 1.05 GPa where no indication of
antiferromagnetism has been observed in calorimetry experiments sensitive to
the entropy change. An unexpected feature is the pressure slowdown of the
antiferromagnetic-paramagnetic transition by comparison to the fast pressure
collapse predicted for homogeneous first order quantum phase transition with
one unique pressure singularity at Pc. A large pressure dependance is observed
in the anisotropy of the thermal expansion measured parallel or perpendicular
to the c axis of this tetragonal crystal. The Fermi surface reconstruction
associated to the first order transition produces quite different pressure
response in the transport scattering measured along different crystallographic
directions. A brief discussion is made on other examples of first order quantum
transitions in strongly correlated electronic systems : MnSi and CeCoIn5.
