Measurements of Secondary Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies with the South Pole Telescope
M. Lueker, C. L. Reichardt, K. K. Schaffer +40
We report cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectrum measurements from the first 100 sq. deg. field observed by the South Pole Telescope (SPT) at 150 and 220 GHz. On angular…
On spectral representations of tensor random fields on the sphere
Nikolai Leonenko, Ludmila Sakhno
We study the representations of tensor random fields on the sphere basing on the theory of representations of the rotation group. Introducing specific components of a tensor field…

We use data from the first 100 square-degree field observed by the South Pole Telescope (SPT) in 2008 to measure the angular power spectrum of temperature anisotropies contributed…
Extragalactic millimeter-wave sources in South Pole Telescope survey data: source counts, catalog, and statistics for an 87 square-degree field
J. D. Vieira, T. M. Crawford, E. R. Switzer +52
We report the results of an 87 square-degree point-source survey centered at R.A. 5h30m, decl. -55 deg. taken with the South Pole Telescope (SPT) at 1.4 and 2.0 mm wavelengths with…
Quantum System Identification: Hamiltonian Estimation using Spectral and Bayesian Analysis
S. G. Schirmer, F. C. Langbein
Identifying the Hamiltonian of a quantum system from experimental data is considered. General limits on the identifiability of model parameters with limited experimental resources…
Preliminary determinations of the masses of the neutron star and mass donor in the High Mass X-ray Binary system EXO 1722-363
A. B. Mason, A. J. Norton, J. S. Clark +2
We intended to measure the radial velocity curve of the supergiant companion to the eclipsing high mass X-ray binary pulsar EXO1722-363 and hence determine the stellar masses of th…
A long-term optical - X-ray correlation in 4U 1957+11
D. M. Russell, F. Lewis, P. Roche +3
[abridged] Three years of optical monitoring of the low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) 4U 1957+11 is presented. The source was observed in V, R and i-bands using the Faulkes Telescopes N…
Supersonic Line Broadening within Young and Massive Super Star Clusters
G. Tenorio-Tagle, R. Wunsch, S. Silich +2
The origin of supersonic infrared and radio recombination nebular lines often detected in young and massive superstar clusters are discussed. We suggest that these arise from a col…
Studies of Expolanets and Solar Systems with SPICA
Michihiro Takami, Motohide Tamura, Keigo Enya +13
The SPace Infrared telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics (SPICA) is a proposed mid-to-far infrared (4-200 um) astronomy mission, scheduled for launch in 2017. A single, 3.5m ape…
Brown dwarfs forming in discs: where to look for them?
Dimitris Stamatellos, Anthony Whitworth
A large fraction of the observed brown dwarfs may form by gravitational fragmentation of unstable discs. This model reproduces the brown dwarf desert, and provides an explanation t…
Regional Development in the Knowledge-Based Economy: The Construction of Advantage
Phil Cooke, Loet Leydesdorff
In this introduction the editors showcase the papers by way of a structured project and seek to clarify the two key concepts cited in the title. We consider the history of the idea…
The BLAST Survey of the Vela Molecular Cloud: Physical Properties of the Dense Cores in Vela-D
Luca Olmi, Peter A. R. Ade, Daniel Angles-Alcazar +34
The Balloon-borne Large-Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (BLAST) carried out a 250, 350 and 500 micron survey of the galactic plane encompassing the Vela Molecular Ridge, with the…
Dependence of the Star Formation Efficiency on the Parameters of Molecular Cloud Formation Simulations
Yetli Rosas-Guevara, Enrique Vazquez-Semadeni, Gilberto C. Gomez +1
We investigate the response of the star formation efficiency (SFE) to the main parameters of simulations of molecular cloud formation by the collision of warm diffuse medium (WNM)…
Non-parametric modeling of the intra-cluster gas using APEX-SZ bolometer imaging data
K. Basu, Y. -Y. Zhang, M. W. Sommer +23
We demonstrate the usability of mm-wavelength imaging data obtained from the APEX-SZ bolometer array to derive the radial temperature profile of the hot intra-cluster gas out to ra…
Bayesian coherent analysis of in-spiral gravitational wave signals with a detector network
John Veitch, Alberto Vecchio
The present operation of the ground-based network of gravitational-wave laser interferometers in "enhanced" configuration brings the search for gravitational waves into a regime wh…
