Statistical analysis of the mass-to-flux ratio in turbulent cores: effects of magnetic field reversals and dynamo amplification

Erik Bertram, Christoph Federrath, Robi Banerjee +1

We study the mass-to-flux ratio (M/Φ) of clumps and cores in simulations of supersonic, magnetohydrodynamical turbulence for different initial magnetic field strengths. We investig…

Experimental evidence of a triadic resonance of plane inertial waves in a rotating fluid

Guilhem Bordes, Frédéric Moisy, Thierry Dauxois +1

Plane inertial waves are generated using a wavemaker, made of oscillating stacked plates, in a rotating water tank. Using particle image velocimetry, we observe that, after a trans…

Models of Stars, Brown Dwarfs and Exoplanets

France Allard, Derek Homeier, Bernd Freytag

Within the next few years, GAIA and several instruments aiming at imag- ing extrasolar planets will see first light. In parallel, low mass planets are being searched around red dwa…

An icy Kuiper-Belt around the young solar-type star HD 181327

J. Lebreton, J. -C. Augereau, W. -F. Thi +18

HD 181327 is a young F5/F6V star belonging to the Beta Pictoris moving group (12 Myr). It harbors an optically thin belt of circumstellar material at 90 AU. We aim to study the dus…

Two dimensional Dirac fermions in the presence of long-range correlated disorder

Andrei A. Fedorenko, David Carpentier, Edmond Orignac

We consider 2D Dirac fermions in the presence of three types of disorder: random scalar potential, random gauge potential and random mass with long-range correlations decaying as a…

Yellow supergiants as supernova progenitors: an indication of strong mass loss for red supergiants?

Cyril Georgy

The increasing observed number of supernova events allows for finding ever more frequently the progenitor star in archive images. In a few cases, the progenitor star is a yellow su…

Light scattering in inhomogeneous Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids

E. Orignac, R. Citro, S. De Palo +1

We derive the dynamical structure factor for an inhomogeneous Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid as can be formed in a confined strongly interacting one-dimensional gas. In view of current…

Phase transitions of quasistationary states in the Hamiltonian Mean Field model

Pierre de Buyl, Duccio Fanelli, Stefano Ruffo

The out-of-equilibrium dynamics of the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model is studied in presence of an externally imposed magnetic field h. Lynden-Bell's theory of violent relaxati…

Weak localization with nonlinear bosonic matter waves

Timo Hartmann, Josef Michl, Cyril Petitjean +4

We investigate the coherent propagation of dilute atomic Bose-Einstein condensates through irregularly shaped billiard geometries that are attached to uniform incoming and outgoing…

Backreaction in late-time cosmology

Thomas Buchert, Syksy Rasanen

We review the effect of the formation of nonlinear structures on the expansion rate, spatial curvature and light propagation in the universe, focusing on the possibility that it co…

Fluctuations, linear response and heat flux of an aging system

Juan Ruben Gomez-Solano, Artyom Petrosyan, Sergio Ciliberto

We measure the fluctuations of the position of a Brownian particle confined by an optical trap in an aging gelatin droplet after a fast quench. Its linear response to an external p…

Constraints on the MSSM from the Higgs Sector - A pMSSM Study of Higgs Searches, Bs -> mu+ mu- and Dark Matter Direct Detection

A. Arbey, M. Battaglia, F. Mahmoudi

We discuss the constraints on Supersymmetry in the Higgs sector arising from LHC searches, rare B decays and dark matter direct detection experiments. We show that constraints deri…

Renormalization flow for extreme value statistics of random variables raised to a varying power

Florian Angeletti, Eric Bertin, Patrice Abry

Using a renormalization approach, we study the asymptotic limit distribution of the maximum value in a set of independent and identically distributed random variables raised to a p…

Regular simplices and periodic billiard orbits

Nicolas Bedaride, Michael Rao

A simplex is the convex hull of points in which form an affine basis. A regular simplex is a simplex with sides of the same length. We consider the bil…

Wave Equation Numerical Resolution: a Comprehensive Mechanized Proof of a C Program

Sylvie Boldo, Francois Clement, Jean-Christophe Filliâtre +3

We formally prove correct a C program that implements a numerical scheme for the resolution of the one-dimensional acoustic wave equation. Such an implementation introduces errors…

Linear response theory for long-range interacting systems in quasistationary states

Aurelio Patelli, Shamik Gupta, Cesare Nardini +1

Long-range interacting systems, while relaxing to equilibrium, often get trapped in long-lived quasistationary states which have lifetimes that diverge with the system size. In thi…
