A homogeneous analysis of globular clusters from the APOGEE survey with the BACCHUS code. I. The Northern clusters

T. Masseron, D. A. García-Hernández, Sz. Mészáros +12

We analyze a large sample of 885 GCs giants from the APOGEE survey. We used the Cannon results to separate the red giant branch and the asymptotic giant branch stars, not only allo…

Disappearance of the extended main sequence turn-off in intermediate age clusters as a consequence of magnetic braking

C. Georgy, C. Charbonnel, L. Amard +8

Extended MS turn-offs are features commonly found in the colour-magnitude diagrams of young and intermediate age (less than about 2 Gyr) massive star clusters, where the MS turn-of…

Uncovering the dynamic precursors to motor-driven contraction of active gels

Jose Alvarado, Luca Cipelletti, Gijsje Koenderink

Cells and tissues have the remarkable ability to actively generate the forces required to change their shape. This active mechanical behavior is largely mediated by the actin cytos…

Fundamental limits for non-destructive measurement of a single spin by Faraday rotation

Denis Scalbert

Faraday rotation being a dispersive effect, is commonly considered as the method of choice for non-destructive detection of spin states. Nevertheless Faraday rotation is inevitably…

Implementation of Control Strategies for Sterile Insect Techniques

Pierre-Alexandre Bliman, Daiver Cardona-Salgado, Yves Dumont +1

In this paper, we propose a sex-structured entomological model that serves as a basis for design of control strategies relying on releases of sterile male mosquitoes (Aedes spp) an…

A -ray determination of the Universe's star-formation history

LAT Collaboration, M. Ajello, K. Helgason +4

The light emitted by all galaxies over the history of the Universe produces the extragalactic background light (EBL) at ultraviolet, optical, and infrared wavelengths. The EBL is a…

Sound attenuation in stable glasses

Lijin Wang, Ludovic Berthier, Elijah Flenner +2

Understanding the difference between universal low-temperature properties of amorphous and crystalline solids requires an explanation of the stronger damping of long-wavelength pho…

Coupled complex Monge-Ampère equations on Fano horosymmetric manifolds

Thibaut Delcroix, Jakob Hultgren

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of solutions to a general system of complex Monge-Ampère equations on Fano horosymmetric manifolds. In particular, we get…

The Higson-Roe sequence for étale groupoids II. The universal sequence for equivariant families

Moulay-Tahar Benameur, Indrava Roy

This is the second part of our series about the Higson-Roe sequence for étale groupoids. We devote this part to the proof of the universal -theory surgery exact sequence which e…

Effective approach to lepton observables: the seesaw case

Rupert Coy, Michele Frigerio

In the absence of direct evidence of new physics, any ultraviolet theory can be reduced to its specific set of low-energy effective operators. As a case study, we derive the effect…

Hybridization of topological surface states with a flat band

Sergey S. Krishtopenko, Mauro Antezza, Frédéric Teppe

We address the problem of hybridization between topological surface states and a non-topological flat bulk band. Our model, being a mixture of three-dimensional Bernevig-Hughes-Zha…

Massless Dirac fermions in III-V semiconductor quantum wells

S. S. Krishtopenko, W. Desrat, K. E. Spirin +12

We report on the clear evidence of massless Dirac fermions in two-dimensional system based on III-V semiconductors. Using a gated Hall bar made on a three-layer InAs/GaSb/InAs quan…
