Magnetic Imaging of Macroscopic Spin Chirality Flipping
H. Miao, G. Fabbris, J. Bouaziz +12
Chirality is a fundamental organizing principle of correlated and topological states. In quantum magnets, chirality arises from the geometric twisting of spins and serves as an eme…
Low-Velocity Impacts on Targets Containing Embedded Carbon Nanotubes
J. A. Carmona, M. Cook, J. Schmoke +2
A one stage Light Gas Gun (LGG) at CASPER [1] was employed to test the shielding capabilities of tiles composed of four different laminated nanotube combinations. These target tile…
Low-Velocity Impacts on PVDF Targets Using a Light Gas Gun
J. A. Carmona, M. Cook, J. Schmoke +3
Orbital debris is a constraint on the long-term health of any spacecraft and must be consi-dered during mission planning. Varying mechanisms have been proposed to quantify the prob…
Two phase galaxy formation: The Gas Content of Normal Galaxies
M. Cook, C. Evoli, E. Barausse +2
We investigate the atomic (HI) and molecular (H_2) Hydrogen content of normal galaxies by combining observational studies linking galaxy stellar and gas budgets to their host dark…
Modern observations of Hubble's first-discovered Cepheid in M31
M. Templeton, A. Henden, W. Goff +9
We present a modern ephemeris and modern light curve of the first-discovered Cepheid variable in M31, Edwin Hubble's M31-V1. Observers of the American Association of Variable Star…
Investigation of Dust Wake Field Oscillations
J. Kong, T. Hyde, L. Matthews +3
Wakefield oscillations created by the ion wakefield existing below a dust particle within the plasma sheath generated above a powered lower electrode in a GEC rf reference cell car…
Dusty Plasma Correlation Function Experiment
B. Smith, J. Vasut, T. Hyde +4
Dust particles immersed within a plasma environment, such as those in protostellar clouds, planetary rings or cometary environments, will acquire an electric charge. If the ratio o…
Phase Transitions in a Dusty Plasma with Two Distinct Particle Sizes
B. Smith, T. Hyde, L. Matthews +3
In semiconductor manufacturing, contamination due to particulates significantly decreases the yield and quality of device fabrication, therefore increasing the cost of production.…
A smooth surface in P4 not of general type has degree at most 66
R. Braun, M. Cook
We continue the work of Braun and Floystad, and Cook bounding the degree of smooth surfaces in P4 not of general type using generic initial ideal theory.
Construction of a PZT Sensor Network for Low and Hypervelocity Impact Detection
J. A. Carmona, M. Cook, M. Cooper +4
Orbital debris is a constraint on the long-term health of any spacecraft and must be considered during mission planning. Varying mechanisms have been proposed to quantify the probl…
A smooth surface in P4 not of general type has degree at most 46
M. Cook
This is the continuation of papers by Braun and Floystad, Cook, Braun and Cook. We use Generic Initial Ideal Theory in conjunction with Liaison Theory to further restrict the possi…
Two-Phase Galaxy Formation
M. Cook, A. Lapi, G. L. Granato
We propose and test a scenario for the assembly and evolution of luminous matter in galaxies which substantially differs from that adopted by other semianalytic models. As for the…
Instabilities in Interacting Binary Stars
Ivan L. Andronov, K. D. Andrych, K. A. Antoniuk +43
The types of instability in the interacting binary stars are reviewed. The project "Inter-Longitude Astronomy" is a series of smaller projects on concrete stars or groups of stars.…
Efficient ion re-acceleration in laboratory-produced interpenetrating collisionless shocks
W. Yao, I. Cohen, P. Suarez Gerona +20
Although the origin of cosmic rays (CRs) remains an open question, collisionless magnetized shock waves are widely regarded as key sites for particle acceleration. Recent theories…
GW Librae: A unique laboratory for pulsations in an accreting white dwarf
O. Toloza, B. T. Gaensicke, J. J. Hermes +22
Non-radial pulsations have been identified in a number of accreting white dwarfs in cataclysmic variables. These stars offer insight into the excitation of pulsation modes in atmos…
