Fe XIII emission lines in active region spectra obtained with the Solar Extreme-Ultraviolet Research Telescope and Spectrograph
F P Keenan, D B Jess, K M Aggarwal +3
Recent fully relativistic calculations of radiative rates and electron impact excitation cross sections for Fe {\sc xiii} are used to generate emission-line ratios involving 3s$^{2…
Rotation and Color Properties of the Nucleus of Comet 2P/Encke
S. C. Lowry, P. R. Weissman
We present results from CCD observations of comet 2P/Encke acquired at Steward Observatory's 2.3m Bok Telescope on Kitt Peak obtained in Oct. 2002, when the comet was near aphelion…
Accumulation of entanglement in a continuous variable memory
M. Paternostro, M. S. Kim, G. M. Palma
We study the accumulation of entanglement in a memory device built out of two continuous variable (CV) systems. We address the case of a qubit mediating an indirect joint interacti…
Determination of the light curve of the Rosetta target Asteroid (2867) Steins by the OSIRIS cameras onboard Rosetta
M. Kueppers, S. Mottola, S. C. Lowry +9
Context: In 2004 asteroid (2867) Steins has been selected as a flyby target for the Rosetta mission. Determination of its spin period and the orientation of its rotation axis are e…
The JCMT Spectral Legacy Survey
R. Plume, G. A. Fuller, F. Helmich +30
Stars form in the densest, coldest, most quiescent regions of molecular clouds. Molecules provide the only probes which can reveal the dynamics, physics, chemistry and evolution of…
Entanglement generation and protection by detuning modulation
M. Paternostro, M. S. Tame, G. M. Palma +1
We introduce a protocol for steady-state entanglement generation and protection based on detuning modulation in the dissipative interaction between a two-qubit system and a bosonic…
The Peculiar Type Ia Supernova 2005hk
V. Stanishev, S. Taubenberger, G. Blanc +15
We present a preliminary analysis of an extensive set of optical observations of the Type Ia SN 2005hk. We show that the evolution of SN 2005hk closely follows that of the peculiar…
Proof of polar ejection fom the close-binary core of the planetary nebula Abell 63
Deborah L. Mitchell, Don Pollacco, T. J. O'Brien +4
We present the first detailed kinematical analysis of the planetary nebula Abell 63, which is known to contain the eclipsing close-binary nucleus UU Sge. Abell 63 provides an impor…
Experimental Realization of Deutsch's Algorithm in a One-way Quantum Computer
M. S. Tame, R. Prevedel, M. Paternostro +3
We report the first experimental demonstration of an all-optical one-way implementation of Deutsch's quantum algorithm on a four-qubit cluster state. All the possible configuration…
Twist and teleportation analogy of the black hole final state
Doyeol Ahn, M. S. Kim
Mathematical connection between the quantum teleportation, the most unique feature of quantum information processing, and the black hole final state is studied taking into account…
Quantum Spectra of Hydrogen Atoms in Various Magnetic Fields with the Closed Orbit Theory
Liang-You Peng, Xian-Zhou Zhang, Jian-Guo Rao
The quantum spectra of hydrogen atoms in various magnetic fields have been calculated with the closed orbit theory. The magnitude of the magnetic field decreases from 5.96 T to 0.5…
The circumstellar environment of rotating Wolf-Rayet Stars and the implications for GRB afterglows
J. J. Eldridge
If Wolf-Rayet stars are the progenitors of Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), they must rotate rapidly to produce the GRB. This rotation may effect their stellar-wind bubbles and possibly ex…
Photometry of cometary nuclei: Rotation rates, colours and a comparison with Kuiper Belt Objects
Colin Snodgrass, Stephen C. Lowry, Alan Fitzsimmons
We present time-series data on Jupiter Family Comets (JFCs) 17P/Holmes, 47P/Ashbrook-Jackson and 137P/Shoemaker-Levy 2. In addition we also present results from `snap-shot' observa…
Creating and probing macroscoping entanglement with light
M. Paternostro, D. Vitali, S. Gigan +4
We describe a scheme showing signatures of macroscopic optomechanical entanglement generated by radiation pressure in a cavity system with a massive movable mirror. The system we c…
Spitzer measurements of atomic and molecular abundances in the Type IIP SN 2005af
Rubina Kotak, Peter Meikle, Monica Pozzo +12
We present results based on Spitzer Space Telescope mid-infrared (3.6-30 micron) observations of the nearby IIP supernova 2005af. We report the first ever detection of the SiO mole…
A fast hybrid algorithm for exoplanetary transit searches
A. Collier Cameron, D. Pollacco, R. A. Street +22
We present a fast and efficient hybrid algorithm for selecting exoplanetary candidates from wide-field transit surveys. Our method is based on the widely-used SysRem and Box Least-…
Structural and chemical embrittlement of grain boundaries by impurities: a general theory and first principles calculations for copper
A. Y. Lozovoi, A. T. Paxton, M. W. Finnis
First principles calculations of the Sigma 5 (310)[001] symmetric tilt grain boundary in Cu with Bi, Na, and Ag substitutional impurities provide evidence that in the phenomenon of…
