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 […]
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: Andrew P. Rasmussen | First 5 Authors: Andrew P. Rasmussen, Steven M. Kahn, Frits Paerels, Jan Willem den Herder, Jelle Kaastra | Summary: In a series of papers, Nicastro et al. have reported the detection of z>0 OVII absorption features in the spectrum of Mrk421 obtained with the Chandra Low Energy Transmission Grating […]
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, …). […]
