The Role of Massive Agb Stars in the Early Solar System Composition
Josep M. Trigo-Rodriguez, Domingo Anibal Garcia-Hernandez, Maria Lugaro +4
We demonstrate that a massive asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star is a good candidate as the main source of short-lived radionuclides in the early solar system. Recent identificatio…
Optimal filter systems for photometric redshift estimation
N. Benitez, M. Moles, J. A. L. Aguerri +18
In the next years, several cosmological surveys will rely on imaging data to estimate the redshift of galaxies, using traditional filter systems with 4-5 optical broad bands; narro…
Axions and the white dwarf luminosity function
J. Isern, S. Catalan, E. Garcia-Berro +1
The evolution of white dwarfs can be described as a simple cooling process. Recently, it has been possible to determine with an unprecedented precision their luminosity function, t…
On the origin of white dwarfs with carbon-dominated atmospheres: the case of H1504+65
L. G. Althaus, A. H. Córsico, S. Torres +1
We explore different evolutionary scenarios to explain the helium deficiency observed in H1504+65, the most massive known PG1159 star. We concentrate mainly on the possibility that…
MAGIC upper limits to the VHE gamma-ray flux of 3C454.3 in high emission state
H. Anderhub, S. Vercellone, I. Donnarumma +2
We report upper limits to the very high energy flux (E>100 GeV) of the flat spectrum radio quasar 3C454.3 (z=0.859) derived by the Cherenkov telescope MAGIC during the high states…
CMBPol Mission Concept Study: Prospects for polarized foreground removal
J. Dunkley, A. Amblard, C. Baccigalupi +28
In this report we discuss the impact of polarized foregrounds on a future CMBPol satellite mission. We review our current knowledge of Galactic polarized emission at microwave freq…
The Impact of Uncertainties in Reaction Q-values on Nucleosynthesis in Type I X-Ray Bursts
A. Parikh, J. Jose, C. Iliadis +2
Nucleosynthesis in Type I X-ray bursts may involve up to several thousand nuclear processes. The majority of these processes have only been determined theoretically due to the lack…
Revisiting the theoretical DBV (V777 Her) instability strip: the MLT theory of convection
A. H. Córsico, L. G. Althaus, M. M. Miller Bertolami +1
We reexamine the theoretical instability domain of pulsating DB white dwarfs (DBV or V777 Her variables). We performed an extensive -mode nonadiabatic pulsation analysis of DB e…
Axisymmetric smoothed particle hydrodynamics with self-gravity
D. Garcia-Senz, A. Relano, R. M. Cabezon +1
The axisymmetric form of the hydrodynamic equations within the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) formalism is presented and checked using idealized scenarios taken from astroph…
Absolute properties of the low-mass eclipsing binary CM Draconis
J. C. Morales, I. Ribas, C. Jordi +12
Spectroscopic and eclipsing binary systems offer the best means for determining accurate physical properties of stars, including their masses and radii. The data available for low-…
Discovery of a very high energy gamma-ray signal from the 3C 66A/B region
MAGIC Collaboration, E. Aliu
The MAGIC telescope observed the region around the distant blazar 3C 66A for 54.2 h in 2007 August-December. The observations resulted in the discovery of a gamma-ray source at ene…
Accreting White Dwarfs
M. Hernanz, J. Jose
Thermonuclear (type Ia) supernovae are explosions in accreting white dwarfs, but the exact scenario leading to these explosions is still unclear. An important step to clarify this…
A one-parameter family of interpolating kernels for Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics studies
Ruben M. Cabezon, Domingo Garcia-Senz, Antonio Relaño
A set of interpolating functions of the type f(v)={(sin[v pi/2])/(v pi/2)}^n is analyzed in the context of the smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) technique. The behaviour of the…
Proper Motions of Thermal Radio Sources near HH 7-11 in the NGC 1333 Star Forming Region
C. Carrasco-Gonzalez, G. Anglada, L. F. Rodriguez +2
Star forming regions are expected to show linear proper motions due to the relative motion of the Sun with respect to the region. These proper motions appear superposed to the prop…
High Angular Resolution Observations at 7-mm of the Core of the Quadrupolar HH 111/121 Outflow
L. F. Rodriguez, J. M. Torrelles, G. Anglada +1
We present sensitive, high angular resolution () VLA continuum observations made at 7 mm of the core of the HH 111/121 quadrupolar outflow. We estimate that at this…
SL(2,R) matrix model and supersymmetric Yang-Mills integrals
Miguel Tierz
The density of states of Yang-Mills integrals in the supersymmetric case is characterized by power-law tails whose decay is independent of N, the rank of the gauge group. It is bel…
The ALHAMBRA Project: A large area multi medium-band optical and NIR photometric survey
M. Moles, N. Benítez, J. A. L. Aguerri +18
(ABRIDGED) We describe the first results of the ALHAMBRA survey which provides cosmic tomography of the evolution of the contents of the Universe over most of Cosmic history. Our a…
The Sensitivity of Nucleosynthesis in Type I X-ray Bursts to Thermonuclear Reaction-Rate Variations
Anuj Parikh, Jordi Jose, Fermin Moreno +1
We examine the sensitivity of nucleosynthesis in Type I X-ray bursts to variations in nuclear rates. As a large number of nuclear processes are involved in these phenomena -with th…
