Structure and Evolution of Pre-Main Sequence Stars

Kavli Affiliate: Ralf Heilmann | First 5 Authors: Norbert S. Schulz, Glenn Allen, Mark W. Bautz, Claude C. Canizares, John Davis | Summary: Low-mass pre-main sequence (PMS) stars are strong and variable X-ray emitters, as has been well established by EINSTEIN and ROSAT observatories. It was originally believed that this emission was of thermal nature […]

Distribution and Structure of Matter in and around Galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Schattenburg | First 5 Authors: Norbert S. Schulz, Glenn Allen, Mark W. Bautz, Claude C. Canizares, John Davis | Summary: Understanding the origins and distribution of matter in the Universe is one of the most important quests in physics and astronomy. Themes range from astro-particle physics to chemical evolution in the Galaxy […]

Microwave Dielectric Heating of Drops in Microfluidic Devices

Kavli Affiliate: David Weitz | First 5 Authors: David Issadore, Katherine J. Humphry, Keith A. Brown, Lori Sandberg, David Weitz | Summary: We present a technique to locally and rapidly heat water drops in microfluidic devices with microwave dielectric heating. Water absorbs microwave power more efficiently than polymers, glass, and oils due to its permanent […]

Stability of additive-free water-in-oil emulsions

Kavli Affiliate: Jos Zwanikken | First 5 Authors: Jos Zwanikken, Joost de Graaf, Markus Bier, René van Roij, | Summary: We calculate ion distributions near a planar oil-water interface within non-linear Poisson-Boltzmann theory, taking into account the Born self-energy of the ions in the two media. For unequal self-energies of cations and anions, a spontaneous […]

LSST: from Science Drivers to Reference Design and Anticipated Data Products

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, […]

Using Animated Textures to Visualize Electromagnetic Fields and Energy Flow

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 […]
