Diffusion in infinite and semi-infinite lattices with long-range coupling
Alejandro J. Martinez, Mario I. Molina
We prove that for a one-dimensional infinite lattice, with long-range coupling among sites, the diffusion of an initial delta-like pulse in the bulk, is ballistic at all times. We…
Q-Value and Half-Lives for the Double-Beta-Decay Nuclide 110Pd
D. Fink, J. Barea, D. Beck +17
The 110Pd double-beta decay Q-value was measured with the Penning-trap mass spectrometer ISOLTRAP to be Q = 2017.85(64) keV. This value shifted by 14 keV compared to the literature…
Maximum-confidence discrimination among symmetric qudit states
O. Jiménez, M. A. Solís-Prosser, A. Delgado +1
We study the maximum-confidence (MC) measurement strategy for discriminating among nonorthogonal symmetric qudit states. Restricting to linearly dependent and equally likely pure s…
A Magellan-IMACS-IFU Search for Dynamical Drivers of Nuclear Activity. I. Reduction Pipeline and Galaxy Catalog
Paul Westoby, Carole Mundell, Neil Nagar +5
Using the Inamori Magellan Areal Camera and Spectrograph (IMACS) integral-field unit (IFU) on the 6.5m Magellan telescope, we have designed the first statistically significant inve…
Strengthening the Open Cluster Distance Scale via VVV Photometry
Daniel J. Majaess, David G. Turner, C. Moni Bidin +14
Approximately 14% of known Galactic open clusters possess absolute errors 20% as evaluated from n>3 independent distance estimates, and the statistics for age estimates are markedl…
Quantitative Spectroscopy of Blue Supergiant Stars in the Disk of M81: Metallicity, Metallicity Gradient and Distance
R. -P. Kudritzki, M. A. Urbaneja, Z. Gazak +4
The quantitative spectral analysis of low resolution Keck LRIS spectra of blue supergiants in the disk of the giant spiral galaxy M81 is used to determine stellar effective tempera…
