Dissecting the Cosmic Infrared Background with 3D Instruments

D. L. Clements, K. G. Isaak, S. C. Madden +1

The cosmic infrared background (CIB) consists of emission from distant, dusty, star-forming galaxies. Energetically, the CIB is very important as it contains as much energy as the…

Mechanics of higher-dimensional black holes in asymptotically anti-de Sitter space-times

Abhay Ashtekar, Tomasz Pawlowski, Chris Van Den Broeck

We construct a covariant phase space for Einstein gravity in dimensions d>=4 with negative cosmological constant, describing black holes in local equilibrium. Thus, space-times und…

Conformal spectral theory for the monodromy matrix

Evgeny Korotyaev

For any $N\ts N$ monodromy matrix we define the Lyapunov function, which is analytic on an associated N-sheeted Riemann surface. On each sheet the Lyapunov function has the standar…

Ionisation-induced star formation I: The collect and collapse model

J. E. Dale, I. A. Bonnell, A. P. Whitworth

We conduct Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics simulations of the `collect and collapse' scenario (Elmegreen and Lada, 1977) for star formation triggered by an expanding HII region. We…

MAXIPOL: Cosmic Microwave Background Polarimetry Using a Rotating Half-Wave Plate

B. R. Johnson, J. Collins, M. E. Abroe +20

We discuss MAXIPOL, a bolometric balloon-borne experiment designed to measure the E-mode polarization of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB). MAXIPOL is the first bolom…

A VLA search for young protostars embedded in dense cores

D. Stamatellos, D. Ward-Thompson, A. P. Whitworth +1

Four dense cores, L1582A, L1689A, B133 and B68, classified as prestellar in terms of the absence of detectable NIR emission, are observed at radio wavelengths to investigate whethe…

A SCUBA survey of Orion, the low-mass end of the core mass function

D. Nutter, D. Ward-Thompson

We have re-analysed all of the SCUBA archive data of the Orion star-forming regions. We have put together all of the data taken at different times by different groups. Consequently…

Star formation history and evolution of gas-rich dwarf galaxies in the Centaurus A group

M. Grossi, M. J. Disney, B. J . Pritzl +4

We analyse the properties of three unusual dwarf galaxies in the Centaurus A group discovered with the HIPASS survey. From their optical morphology they appear to be low surface br…

Positive-Overlap Transition and Critical Exponents in Mean Field Spin Glasses

Alessandra Agostini, Adriano Barra, Luca De Sanctis

In this paper we obtain two results for the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) model, and we show that they both emerge from a single approach. First, we prove that the average of the ov…

A simple method of calculating eigenvalues and resonances in domains with infinite regular ends

Michael Levitin, Marco Marletta

A new approach is presented for the solution of spectral problems on infinite domains with regular ends, which avoids the need to solve boundary value problems for many trial value…

Observing CMB polarisation through ice

Luca Pietranera, Stefan Buhler, Paolo G. Calisse +8

Ice crystal clouds in the upper troposphere can generate polarisation signals at the uK level. This signal can seriously affect very sensitive ground based searches for E- and B-mo…
