Kavli Affiliate: John W. Belcher | First 5 Authors: Richard H. Price, John W. Belcher, David A. Nichols, , | Summary: We compare the nature of electromagnetic fields and of gravitational fields in linearized general relativity. We carry out this comparison both mathematically and visually. In particular the "lines of force" visualizations of electromagnetism are […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ralf Kaehler | First 5 Authors: Ralf Kaehler, Tom Abel, , , | Summary: Structured Adaptive Mesh Refinement (SAMR) is a popular numerical technique to study processes with high spatial and temporal dynamic range. It reduces computational requirements by adapting the lattice on which the underlying differential equations are solved to most efficiently […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ralf Kaehler | First 5 Authors: Oliver Hahn, Tom Abel, Ralf Kaehler, , | Summary: Recently, we have shown how current cosmological N-body codes already follow the fine grained phase-space information of the dark matter fluid. Using a tetrahedral tesselation of the three-dimensional manifold that describes perfectly cold fluids in six-dimensional phase space, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Homer Neal | First 5 Authors: Z. Akopov, Silvia Amerio, David Asner, Eduard Avetisyan, Olof Barring | Summary: Data from high-energy physics (HEP) experiments are collected with significant financial and human effort and are mostly unique. An inter-experimental study group on HEP data preservation and long-term analysis was convened as a panel of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Cameron | First 5 Authors: Markos Trichas, Paul J. Green, John D. Silverman, Tom Aldcroft, Wayne Barkhouse | Summary: From optical spectroscopy of X-ray sources observed as part of ChaMP, we present redshifts and classifications for a total of 1569 Chandra sources from our targeted spectroscopic follow up using the FLWO, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sarah Church | First 5 Authors: Matthew Sieth, Sarah Church, Judy M. Lau, Patricia Voll, Todd Gaier | Summary: We report on the development of W-band (75-110 GHz) heterodyne receiver technology for large-format astronomical arrays. The receiver system is designed to be both mass-producible, so that the designs could be scaled to thousands […]
Kavli Affiliate: Geza Gyuk | First 5 Authors: Michael Solontoi, Mark Hammergren, Geza Gyuk, Andrew Puckett, | Summary: We present the spectra of 60 asteroids, including 47 V-types observed during the first phase of the Adler V-Type Asteroid (AVAST) Survey. SDSS photometry was used to select candidate V-type asteroids for follow up by nature of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tomiyoshi Haruyama | First 5 Authors: Takashi Uchiyama, Shinji Miyoki, Souichi Telada, Kazuhiro Yamamoto, Masatake Ohashi | Summary: The thermal fluctuation of mirror surfaces is the fundamental limitation for interferometric gravitational wave (GW) detectors. Here, we experimentally demonstrate for the first time a reduction in a mirror’s thermal fluctuation in a GW detector […]
Kavli Affiliate: Norbert Schulz | First 5 Authors: Michael A. Nowak, Joern Wilms, Katja Pottschmidt, Norbert Schulz, Dipankar Maitra | Summary: We present three Suzaku observations of the black hole candidate 4U 1957+11 (V1408 Aql) — a source that exhibits some of the simplest and cleanest examples of soft, disk-dominated spectra. 4U 1957+11 also presents […]
Kavli Affiliate: Toshitake Kohno | First 5 Authors: Louis Funar, Toshitake Kohno, , , | Summary: We prove that, except for a few explicit roots of unity, the quantum image of any Johnson subgroup of the mapping class group contains an explicit free non-abelian subgroup. | Search Query: ArXiv Query: search_query=au:”Toshitake Kohno”&id_list=&start=0&max_results=3 Read More
