Kavli Affiliate: Mikhail Kapranov | Summary:We consider the category of perverse sheaves on a complex vector space smooth with respect to a stratification given by an arrangement of hyperplanes with real equations. As shown in an earlier wotk of two of the authors, this category can be described in terms of certain diagrams of vector […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shinichiro Takeda | Summary:The present paper investigates the temperature structure of the X-ray emitting plasma in the core of the Perseus cluster using the 1.8–20.0 keV data obtained with the Soft X-ray Spectrometer (SXS) onboard the Hitomi Observatory. A series of four observations were carried out, with a total effective exposure time of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Maria T. Zuber | Summary:Parabolic flights provide cost-effective, time-limited access to "weightless" or reduced gravity conditions experienced in space or on planetary surfaces, e.g. the Moon or Mars. These flights facilitate fundamental research – from materials science to space biology – and testing/validation activities that support and complement infrequent and costly access to […]
