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: Jos W. Zwanikken | First 5 Authors: Chantal Valeriani, Philip J. Camp, Jos W. Zwanikken, René van Roij, Marjolein Dijkstra | Summary: The association of ions in electrolyte solutions at very low concentration and low temperature is studied using computer simulations and quasi-chemical ion-pairing theory. The specific case of the restricted primitive model […]
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
Kavli Affiliate: Yukari Ito | First 5 Authors: Akira Ishii, Yukari Ito, Álvaro Nolla de Celis, , | Summary: In this paper we consider the iterated G-equivariant Hilbert scheme G/N-Hilb(N-Hilb) and prove that G/N-Hilb(N-Hilb(C^3)) is a crepant resolution of C^3/G isomorphic to the moduli space of theta-stable representations of the McKay quiver for certain stability […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paul Schechter | First 5 Authors: James Green, Paul Schechter, Charles Baltay, Rachel Bean, David Bennett | Summary: In December 2010, NASA created a Science Definition Team (SDT) for WFIRST, the Wide Field Infra-Red Survey Telescope, recommended by the Astro 2010 Decadal Survey as the highest priority for a large space mission. The […]
Kavli Affiliate: John W. Belcher | First 5 Authors: Stanislaw Olbert, John W. Belcher, Richard H. Price, , | Summary: We present a new algorithm for computing the electromagnetic fields of currents inside and outside of finite current sources, for arbitrary time variations in the currents. Unexpectedly, we find that our solutions for these fields […]
Kavli Affiliate: Barbara Baird | First 5 Authors: Sarah Veatch, Benjamin Machta, Sarah Shelby, Ethan Chiang, David Holowka | Summary: We present an analytical method to quantify clustering in super-resolution localization images of static surfaces in two dimensions. The method also describes how over-counting of labeled molecules contributes to apparent self-clustering and how the effective […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joseph M. Thijssen | First 5 Authors: Fatemeh Mirjani, Joseph M. Thijssen, Sense Jan van der Molen, , | Summary: In molecular charge transport, transition voltage spectroscopy (TVS) holds the promise that molecular energy levels can be explored at bias voltages lower than required for resonant tunneling. We investigate the theoretical basis of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gerald W. Feigenson | First 5 Authors: Frederick A. Heberle, Gerald W. Feigenson, , , | Summary: We have developed a new model to describe FRET efficiency (E FRET) between freely-diffusing membrane probes in phase-separated bilayers (Finite Phase-separation FRET, or FP-FRET), that in principle applies to any system where phase domain dimensions are […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gerald W. Feigenson | First 5 Authors: Frederick A. Heberle, Gerald W. Feigenson, , , | Summary: Multicomponent lipid mixtures exhibit complex phase behavior, including coexistence of nanoscopic fluid phases in ternary mixtures mimicking the composition of the outer leaflet of mammalian plasma membrane. The physical mechanisms responsible for the small size of […]
