Formation of Kuiper-belt binaries through multiple chaotic scattering encounters with low-mass intruders
Sergey A. Astakhov, Ernestine A. Lee, David Farrelly
The discovery that many trans-neptunian objects exist in pairs, or binaries, is proving invaluable for shedding light on the formation, evolution and structure of the outer Solar s…
UNICORE - From Project Results to Production Grids
A. Streit, D. Erwin, Th. Lippert +7
The UNICORE Grid-technology provides a seamless, secure and intuitive access to distributed Grid resources. In this paper we present the recent evolution from project results to pr…
Intensity Thresholds and the Statistics of the Temporal Occurrence of Solar Flares
Marco Baiesi, Maya Paczuski, Attilio L. Stella
Introducing thresholds to analyze time series of emission from the Sun enables a new and simple definition of solar flare events, and their interoccurrence times. Rescaling time by…
Capture and escape in the elliptic restricted three-body problem
Sergey A. Astakhov, David Farrelly
Several families of irregular moons orbit the giant planets. These moons are thought to have been captured into planetocentric orbits after straying into a region in which the plan…
2-Dimensional Polymers Confined in a Strip
Hsiao-Ping Hsu, Peter Grassberger
Single two dimensional polymers confined to a strip are studied by Monte Carlo simulations. They are described by N-step self-avoiding random walks on a square lattice between two…
