Kavli Affiliate: Martin Depken | First 5 Authors: Martin Depken, Helmut Schiessel, , , | Summary: Apart from being the gateway for all access to the eukaryotic genome, chromatin has in recent years been identified as carrying an epigenetic code regulating transcriptional activity. The detailed knowledge of this code contrasts the ignorance of the fiber […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tomiyoshi Haruyama | First 5 Authors: Takayuki Tomaru, Masao Tokunari, Kazuaki Kuroda, Takashi Uchiyama, Akira Okutomi | Summary: A large heat load caused by thermal radiation through a metal shield pipe was observed in a cooling test of a cryostat for a prototype of a cryogenic interferometric gravitational wave detector. The heat load […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter K. Fritschel | First 5 Authors: Andri M. Gretarsson, Erika D’Ambrosio, Valery Frolov, Brian O’Reilly, Peter K. Fritschel | Summary: We analyze the electromagnetic fields in a Pound-Drever-Hall locked, marginally unstable, Fabry-Perot cavity as a function of small changes in the cavity length during resonance. More specifically, we compare the results of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Todor E. Milanov | First 5 Authors: Todor E. Milanov, Hsian-Hua Tseng, , , | Summary: Let $CP^1_{k,m}$ be the orbifold structure on $CP^1$ obtained via uniformizing the neighborhoods of 0 and $infty$ respectively by $zmapsto z^k$ and $wmapsto w^m.$ The diagonal action of the torus on the projective line induces naturally an […]
Kavli Affiliate: Todor E. Milanov | First 5 Authors: Todor E. Milanov, Hsian-Hua Tseng, , , | Summary: Let $M_{k,m}$ be the space of Laurent polynomials in one variable $x^k + t_1 x^{k-1}+… t_{k+m}x^{-m},$ where $k,mgeq 1$ are fixed integers and $t_{k+m}neq 0$. According to B. Dubrovin cite{D}, $M_{k,m}$ can be equipped with a semi-simple […]
Kavli Affiliate: Todor E. Milanov | First 5 Authors: Todor E. Milanov, , , , | Summary: The ancestor Gromov–Witten invariants of a compact {Kahler} manifold $X$ can be organized in a generating function called the total ancestor potential of $X$. In this paper, we construct Hirota Quadratic Equations (HQE shortly) for the total ancestor […]
Kavli Affiliate: Homer A. Neal | First 5 Authors: Homer A. Neal, Eduard De La Cruz Burelo, , , | Summary: A continuing mystery in particle physics is the large polarization observed in inclusive hyperon production in high energy p-p collisions. In this paper the authors advance the concept that the polarization effects can be […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Huenemoerder | First 5 Authors: Paola Testa, David Garcia-Alvarez, Fabio Reale, David Huenemoerder, | Summary: We analyze a Chandra-HETGS observation of the single G-type giant HR 9024. The high flux allows us to examine spectral line and continuum diagnostics at high temporal resolution, to derive plasma parameters (thermal distribution, abundances, temperature, …). […]
Kavli Affiliate: Claude Canizares | First 5 Authors: Taotao Fang, Christopher McKee, Claude Canizares, Mark Wolfire, | Summary: Recent Chandra and XMM observations of distant quasars have shown strong local (z~0) X-ray absorption lines from highly ionized gas, primarily He-like oxygen. The nature of these X-ray absorbers, i.e., whether they are part of the hot […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Cameron | First 5 Authors: Martin C. Weisskopf, Thomas L. Aldcroft, Robert A. Cameron, Poshak Gandhi, Cédric Foellmi | Summary: Before the official first-light images, the Chandra X-Ray Observatory obtained an X-ray image of the field to which its focal plane was first exposed. We describe this historic observation and report […]
