Crystal-to-crystal transition of ultrasoft colloids under shear

J. Ruiz-Franco, J. Marakis, N. Gnan +5

Ultrasoft colloids typically do not spontaneously crystallize, but rather vitrify, at high concentrations. Combining in-situ rheo-SANS experiments and numerical simulations we show…

Scale invariant jets: from blazars to microquasars

I. Liodakis, V. Pavlidou, I. Papadakis +9

Black holes, anywhere in the stellar-mass to supermassive range, are often associated with relativistic jets. Models suggest that jet production may be a universal process common i…

On the high energy cut-off of accreting sources: is GR relevant?

Francesco Tamborra, Iossif Papadakis, Michal Dovčiak +1

The hard X-ray emission observed in accreting compact sources is believed to be produced by inverse Compton scattering of soft photons arising from the accretion disc by energetic…

Effect of Chain Stiffness on the Structure of Single-Chain Polymer Nanoparticles

Angel J. Moreno, Petra Bacova, Federica Lo Verso +3

Polymeric single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) are soft nano-objects synthesized by purely intramolecular cross-linking of single polymer chains. By means of computer simulations, we…

Connecting traces of galaxy evolution: the missing core mass -- morphological fine structure relation

P. Bonfini, T. Bitsakis, A. Zezas +5

Deep exposure imaging of early-type galaxies (ETGs) are revealing the second-order complexity of these objects, which have been long considered uniform, dispersion-supported sphero…

The photon-index - time-lag correlation in black-hole X-ray binaries

Pablo Reig, Nikolaos D. Kylafis, Iossif E. Papadakis +1

We have performed a timing and spectral analysis of a set of black-hole binaries to study the correlation between the photon index and the time lag of the hard photons with respect…

Wide Binaries in Tycho-Gaia II: Metallicities, Abundances, and Prospects for Chemical Tagging

Jeff J. Andrews, Julio Chanamé, Marcel A. Agüeros

From our recent catalog based on the first Gaia data release (TGAS), we select wide binaries in which both stars have been observed by the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) or the…
