On the ultra-relativistic Prompt Emission (UPE), the Hard and Soft X-ray Flares, and the extended thermal emission (ETE) in GRB 151027A

R. Ruffini, L. Becerra, C. L. Bianco +12

We analyze GRB 151027A within the binary-driven hypernova (BdHN) approach, with progenitor a carbon-oxygen core on the verge of a supernova (SN) explosion and a binary companion ne…

On a GRB afterglow model consistent with hypernovae observations

R. Ruffini, M. Karlica, N. Sahakyan +5

We describe the afterglows of the long gamma-ray-burst (GRB) 130427A within the context of a binary-driven hypernova (BdHN). The afterglows originate from the interaction between a…

A better characterization of the chemical composition of exoplanets atmospheres with ARIEL

Olivia Venot, Benjamin Drummond, Yamila Miguel +3

Since the discovery of the first extrasolar planet more than twenty years ago, we have discovered nearly four thousand planets orbiting stars other than the Sun. Current observatio…

On distribution formulas for complex and -adic polylogarithms

Hiroaki Nakamura, Zdzislaw Wojtkowiak

We study an -adic Galois analogue of the distribution formulas for polylogarithms with special emphasis on path dependency and arithmetic behaviors. As a goal, we obtain a no…

The XXL Survey: XXII. The XXL-North spectrophotometric sample and galaxy stellar mass function in X-ray detected groups and clusters

V. Guglielmo, B. M. Poggianti, B. Vulcani +42

The fraction of galaxies bound in groups in the nearby Universe is high (50% at z~0). Systematic studies of galaxy properties in groups are important in order to improve our unders…

Decentralized Online Learning with Kernels

Alec Koppel, Santiago Paternain, Cedric Richard +1

We consider multi-agent stochastic optimization problems over reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHS). In this setting, a network of interconnected agents aims to learn decision f…

An open mapping theorem for finitely copresented Esakia spaces

Samuel J. van Gool, Luca Reggio

We prove an open mapping theorem for the topological spaces dual to finitely presented Heyting algebras. This yields in particular a short, self-contained semantic proof of the uni…

Dynamics of elastically strained islands in presence of an anisotropic surface energy

Guido Schifani, Médéric Argentina, Thomas Frisch

The equilibrium solutions and coarsening dynamics of strained semi-conductor islands are investigated analytically and numerically. We develop an analytical model to study the effe…

Emergence of a single cluster in Vicsek's model at very low noise

Lucas Barberis

The classic Vicsek model [Phys.Rev.Lett. {\bf75},1226(1995)] is studied in the regime of very low noise intensities, which is shown to be characterized by a cluster (MC) that conta…

The VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS): An unbiased estimate of the growth rate of structure at using the clustering of luminous blue galaxies

F. G. Mohammad, B. R. Granett, L. Guzzo +34

We use the VIPERS final data release to investigate the performance of colour-selected populations of galaxies as tracers of linear large-scale motions. We empirically select volum…
