Kavli Affiliate: Stuart Marshall | First 5 Authors: Željko Ivezić, Steven M. Kahn, J. Anthony Tyson, Bob Abel, Emily Acosta | Summary: (Abridged) We describe here the most ambitious survey currently planned in the optical, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). A vast array of science will be enabled by a single wide-deep-fast sky survey, […]

Kavli Affiliate: John Belcher | First 5 Authors: John Belcher, Carolann Koleci, , , | Summary: Animated textures can be used to visualize the spatial structure and temporal evolution of vector fields at high spatial resolution. The animation requires two time-dependent vector fields. The first of these vector fields determines the spatial structure to be […]
Kavli Affiliate: Steven Kahn | First 5 Authors: Chen Zheng, Roger W. Romani, Masao Sako, John Marriner, Bruce Bassett | Summary: This paper presents spectroscopy of supernovae discovered in the first season of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II Supernova Survey. This program searches for and measures multi-band light curves of supernovae in the redshift range […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tom Chang | First 5 Authors: Tom Chang, Cheng-chin Wu, , , | Summary: We describe a new method that is both physically explicable and quantitatively accurate in describing the multifractal characteristics of intermittent events based on groupings of rank-ordered fluctuations. The generic nature of such rank-ordered spectrum leads it to a natural […]
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: Geza Gyuk | First 5 Authors: Mark Hammergren, Geza Gyuk, Andrew Puckett, , | Summary: We report visible to near-infrared spectroscopy and spectrophotometry of asteroid (21238) 1995 WV7 that reveal the presence of deep absorption bands indicating a V taxonomic type with an apparently basaltic surface composition. Since this asteroid is on the […]
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 […]
