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: Darrell Schlom | First 5 Authors: Amit Kumar, R. Rai, Nikolas Podraza, Sava Denev, Mariola Ramirez | Summary: Using spectroscopic ellipsometry, the refractive index and absorption versus wavelength of the ferroelectric antiferromagnet Bismuth Ferrite, BiFeO_3 is reported. The material has a direct band-gap at 442 nm wavelength (2.81 eV). Using optical second harmonic […]
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: Martin Depken | First 5 Authors: Martin Depken, Helmut Schiessel, , , | Summary: Apart from being the gateway for all access to the eukaryotic genome, chromatin has in recent years been identified as carrying an epigenetic code regulating transcriptional activity. The detailed knowledge of this code contrasts the ignorance of the fiber […]
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 […]
