Exciton-phonon scattering and photo-excitation dynamics in J-aggregate microcavities

P. Michetti, G. C. La Rocca

We have developed a model accounting for the photo-excitation dynamics and the photoluminescence of strongly coupled J-aggregate microcavities. Our model is based on a description…

C/O white dwarfs of very low mass: 0.33-0.5 Mo

P. G. Prada Moroni, O. Straniero

The standard lower limit for the mass of white dwarfs (WDs) with a C/O core is roughly 0.5 Mo. In the present work we investigated the possibility to form C/O WDs with mass as low…
