The evolutionary status of the bright high-latitude supergiant HD190390

Maarten Reyniers, Jan Cuypers

Despite its mean apparent magnitude of m(v)=6.39, the evolutionary status of HD190390 (HR7671), a luminous F-type supergiant at high galactic latitude, is still not very clear, but…

Robustness of dynamical entropy

M. Fannes, B. Haegeman, D. Vanpeteghem

When quantifying the mixing properties of a quantum dynamical system in terms of dynamical entropy, the following scheme appears natural: observe the state of the system at regular…

Beta-decay properties of Si and P

J. -C. Thomas, L. Achouri, J. Aysto +16

The -decay properties of the neutron-deficient nuclei Si and P have been investigated at the GANIL/LISE3 facility by means of charged-particle and -ray spectros…

Radiatively driven rotating pair-plasma jets from two component accretion flows

Indranil Chattopadhyay

Centrifugal pressure of matter spiralling onto black holes, have long been known to produce standing or oscillating shocks. The post-shock disc puffs up in the form of a torus, whi…

The Metallicity dependence of the Cepheid Period-Luminosity relation: methodology and results

Marta Mottini, Martino Romaniello, Francesca Primas +3

We present the results of an observational campaign undertaken to assess the influence of the iron content on the Cepheid Period-Luminosity relation. Our data indicate that this de…

Orbital parameters, masses and distance to Beta Centauri determined with the Sydney University Stellar Interferometer and high resolution spectroscopy

J. Davis, A. Mendez, E. B. Seneta +7

The bright southern binary star beta Centauri (HR 5267) has been observed with the Sydney University Stellar Interferometer (SUSI) and spectroscopically with the ESO CAT and Swiss…

Local unitary versus local Clifford equivalence of stabilizer states

M. Van den Nest, J. Dehaene, B. De Moor

We study the relation between local unitary (LU) equivalence and local Clifford (LC) equivalence of stabilizer states. We introduce a large subclass of stabilizer states, such that…

The map between conformal hypercomplex/hyper-Kaehler and quaternionic(-Kaehler) geometry

Eric Bergshoeff, Sorin Cucu, Tim de Wit +3

We review the general properties of target spaces of hypermultiplets, which are quaternionic-like manifolds, and discuss the relations between these manifolds and their symmetry ge…

Rotating Solutions of Non-relativistic String Theory

Joaquim Gomis, Filippo Passerini

We construct classical rotating solutions of Non-relativistic String Theory. The relation among the energy and angular momenta for these solutions is of the type E=J^2. Some of the…

Intensity Thresholds and the Statistics of the Temporal Occurrence of Solar Flares

Marco Baiesi, Maya Paczuski, Attilio L. Stella

Introducing thresholds to analyze time series of emission from the Sun enables a new and simple definition of solar flare events, and their interoccurrence times. Rescaling time by…

Is the solar corona nonmodally self-heated?

B. M. Shergelashvili, A. D. Rogava, S. Poedts

Recently it was pointed out that nonmodally (transiently and/or adiabatically) pre-amplified waves in shear flows, undergoing subsequent viscous damping, can ultimately heat the am…

The mechanism of Swing Absorption of fast magnetosonic waves in inhomogeneous media

B. M. Shergelashvili, T. V. Zaqarashvili, S. Poedts +1

The recently suggested swing interaction between fast magnetosonic and Alfvén waves (2002) is generalized to inhomogeneous media. We show that the fast magnetosonic waves propagati…

Supergravity with Fayet-Iliopoulos terms and R-symmetry

Antoine Van Proeyen

The simplest examples of gauged supergravities are N=1 or N=2 theories with Fayet-Iliopoulos (FI) terms. FI terms in supergravity imply that the R-symmetry is gauged. Also the U(1)…
