Radiative hydrodynamics simulations of red supergiant stars. III. Spectro-photocentric variability, photometric variability, and consequences on Gaia measurements

A. Chiavassa, E. Pasquato, A. Jorissen +8

Context. It has been shown that convection in red supergiant stars gives rise to large granules causing surface inhomogeneities together with shock waves in the photosphere. The re…

Rotational intermittency and turbulence induced lift experienced by large particles in a turbulent flow

Robert Zimmermann, Yoann Gasteuil, Mickael Bourgoin +3

The motion of a large, neutrally buoyant, particle, freely advected by a turbulent flow is determined experimentally. We demonstrate that both the translational and angular acceler…

Shear-induced structuration of confined carbon black gels: Steady-state features of vorticity-aligned flocs

Vincent Grenard, Nicolas Taberlet, Sebastien Manneville

Various dispersions of attractive particles are known to aggregate into patterns of vorticity-aligned stripes when sheared in confined geometries. We report a thorough experimental…

Beyond-mean-field theories with zero-range effective interactions. A way to handle the ultraviolet divergence

K. Moghrabi, M. Grasso, G. Colò +1

Zero-range effective interactions are commonly used in nuclear physics and in other domains to describe many-body systems within the mean-field model. If they are used within a bey…

Support convergence in the single ring theorem

Alice Guionnet, Ofer Zeitouni

We study the eigenvalues of non-normal square matrices of the form A_n=U_nT_nV_n with U_n,V_n independent Haar distributed on the unitary group and T_n real diagonal. We show that…

Microstructure from ferroelastic transitions using strain pseudospin clock models in two and three dimensions: a local mean-field analysis

Romain Vasseur, Turab Lookman, Subodh R. Shenoy

We show how microstructure can arise in first-order ferroelastic structural transitions, in two and three spatial dimensions, through a local meanfield approximation of their pseud…

Quasi-polynomial mixing of the 2D stochastic Ising model with "plus" boundary up to criticality

Eyal Lubetzky, Fabio Martinelli, Allan Sly +1

We considerably improve upon the recent result of Martinelli and Toninelli on the mixing time of Glauber dynamics for the 2D Ising model in a box of side at low temperature and…

Understanding exoplanet formation, structure and evolution in 2010

G. Chabrier, J. Leconte, I. Baraffe

In this short review, we summarize our present understanding (and non-understanding) of exoplanet formation, structure and evolution, in the light of the most recent discoveries. R…

Longitudinal and Transverse structure functions in high Reynolds-number turbulence

Rainer Grauer, Holger Homann, Jean-Francois Pinton

Using exact relations between velocity structure functions (Hill, Hill and Boratav, and Yakhot) and neglecting pressure contributions in a first approximation, we obtain a closed s…

A Type System for the Vectorial Aspect of the Linear-Algebraic Lambda-Calculus

Pablo Arrighi, Alejandro Díaz-Caro, Benoît Valiron

We describe a type system for the linear-algebraic lambda-calculus. The type system accounts for the part of the language emulating linear operators and vectors, i.e. it is able to…
