High Accuracy Near-infrared Imaging Polarimetry with NICMOS

D. Batcheldor, G. Schneider, D. C. Hines +5

The findings of a nine orbit calibration plan carried out during HST Cycle 15, to fully determine the NICMOS camera 2 (2.0 micron) polarization calibration to high accuracy, are re…

Near-IR spectroscopic ages of massive star clusters in M82

A. Lançon, J. S. Gallagher, M. Mouhcine +3

Like other starburst galaxies, M82 hosts compact, massive young star clusters that are interesting both in their own right and as benchmarks for population synthesis models. Can sp…

Simulating star formation in molecular cloud cores IV. The role of turbulence and thermodynamics

R. E. Attwood, S. P. Goodwin, D. Stamatellos +1

We perform SPH simulations of the collapse and fragmentation of low-mass cores having different initial levels of turbulence (alpha_turb=0.05,0.10,0.25). We use a new treatment of…

Large non-Gaussianity from two-component hybrid inflation

Christian T. Byrnes, Ki-Young Choi, Lisa M. H. Hall

We study the generation of non-Gaussianity in models of hybrid inflation with two inflaton fields, (2-brid inflation). We analyse the region in the parameter and the initial condit…

On the validity of nonlinear Alfven resonance in space plasmas

C. T. M. Clack, I. Ballai, M. S. Ruderman

In the approximation of linear dissipative magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) it can be shown that driven MHD waves in magnetic plasmas with high Reynolds number exhibit a near resonant be…

A New Diagnostic Method for Assessment of Stellar Stratification in Star Clusters

Dimitrios A. Gouliermis, Richard de Grijs, Yu Xin

We propose a new method for the characterization of stellar stratification in stellar systems. The method uses the mean-square radius (also called the Spitzer radius) of the system…
