Flickering in Black Hole Accretion discs
M. Mayer, J. E. Pringle
We present an extension of the King et al. (2004) model for the flickering of black hole accretion discs by taking proper account for the thermal properties of the disc. First we d…
The D2 Susy Zoo
Dongsu Bak, Nobuyoshi Ohta, Paul K. Townsend
We present new supersymmetric solutions of the Dirac-Born-Infeld equations for time-independent D2-branes, including a 1/2 supersymmetric `dyonic' D2-brane and various 1/4 supersym…
Cosmology with Weak Lensing Surveys
D. Munshi, P. Valageas, L. Van Waerbeke +1
Weak gravitational lensing is responsible for the shearing and magnification of the images of high-redshift sources due to the presence of intervening matter. The distortions are d…
ACS photometry of newly-discovered globular clusters in the outer halo of M31
A. D. Mackey, A. Huxor, A. M. N. Ferguson +6
We report the first results from deep ACS imaging of ten classical globular clusters in the far outer regions (15 < R_p < 100 kpc) of M31. Eight of the clusters, including two of t…
Inclusive Production of Charged Hadrons in Photon-Photon Collisions
The OPAL collaboration
The inclusive production of charged hadrons in the collisions of quasi-real photons e+e- -> e+e- +X has been measured using the OPAL detector at LEP. The data were taken at e+e- ce…
Scaling of cosmological domain wall networks with junctions
P. P. Avelino, C. J. A. P. Martins, J. Menezes +2
We describe the results of the largest and most accurate three-dimensional field theory simulations of domain wall networks with junctions. We consider a previously introduced clas…
Strong gravity effects: X-ray spectra, variability and polarimetry
A. C. Fabian
Accreting black holes often show iron line emission in their X-ray spectra. When this line emission is very broad or variable then it is likely to originate from close to the black…
Heating and cooling in the Perseus cluster core
A. C. Fabian, J. S. Sanders
It is well known that the radiative cooling time of the hot X-ray emitting gas in the cores of most clusters of galaxies is less than 10^10 yr. In many clusters the gas temperature…
Aspects of spinorial geometry
U. Gran, J. Gutowski, G. Papadopoulos +1
We review some aspects of the spinorial geometry approach to the classification of supersymmetric solutions of supergravity theories. In particular, we explain how spinorial geomet…
The Monitor project: Data processing and lightcurve production
Jonathan Irwin, Mike Irwin, Suzanne Aigrain +3
We have begun a large-scale photometric survey of nearby open clusters and star-forming regions, the Monitor project, aiming to measure time-series photometry for >10,000 cluster m…
Spitzer identifications and classifications of submillimeter galaxies in giant, high-redshift Lyman-alpha emission-line nebulae
J. E. Geach, Ian Smail, S. C. Chapman +4
Using Spitzer Space Telescope IRAC (3.6-8um) and MIPS (24um) imaging, as well as Hubble Space Telescope optical observations, we identify the IRAC counterparts of the luminous powe…
Identifying Nanotechnology in Society
Charles Tahan
Manufacturing materials and systems with components thousands of times smaller than the width of a human hair promises vast and sometimes unimaginable advances in technology. Yet t…
Exploring the origins of the power-law properties of energy landscapes: An egg-box model
Claire P. Massen, Jonathan P. K. Doye, Rupert W. Nash
Multidimensional potential energy landscapes (PELs) have a Gaussian distribution for the energies of the minima, but at the same time the distribution of the hyperareas for the bas…
On self-sustaining processes in Rayleigh-stable rotating plane Couette flows and subcritical transition to turbulence in accretion disks
F. Rincon, G. I. Ogilvie, C. Cossu
Subcritical transition to turbulence in Keplerian accretion disks is still a controversial issue and some theoretical progress is required in order to determine whether or not this…
Control of fine-structure splitting of individual InAs quantum dots by rapid thermal annealing
D. J. P. Ellis, R. M. Stevenson, R. J. Young +3
Degeneracy of the bright single exciton spin state is a prerequisite for the production of triggered polarization-entangled photon pairs from the biexciton decay of a quantum dot.…
Electrically addressing a single self-assembled quantum dot
D. J. P. Ellis, A. J. Bennett, P. Atkinson +2
We report on the use of an aperture in an aluminum oxide layer to restrict current injection into a single self-assembled InAs quantum dot, from an ensemble of such dots within a l…
Extracting Information about EMRIs using Time-Frequency Methods
Linqing Wen, Yanbei Chen, Jonathan Gair
The inspirals of stellar-mass compact objects into supermassive black holes are some of the most exciting sources of gravitational waves for LISA. Detection of these sources using…
de Haas-van Alphen effect investigations of the electronic structure of pure and aluminum-doped MgB_2
A. Carrington, E. A. Yelland, J. D. Fletcher +1
Understanding the superconducting properties of MgB_2 is based strongly on knowledge of its electronic structure. In this paper we review experimental measurements of the Fermi sur…
High-z radio starbursts host obscured X-ray AGN
A. M. S. Richards, R. J. Beswick, S. T. Garrington +8
We use Virtual Observatory methods to investigate the association between radio and X-ray emission at high redshifts. Fifty-five of the 92 HDF(N) sources resolved by combining MERL…
Root numbers of elliptic curves in residue characteristic 2
T. Dokchitser, V. Dokchitser
To determine the global root number of an elliptic curve defined over a number field, one needs to understand all the local root numbers. These have been classified except at place…
Pooling quantum states obtained by indirect measurements
Robert W. Spekkens, H. M. Wiseman
We consider the pooling of quantum states when Alice and Bob both have one part of a tripartite system and, on the basis of measurements on their respective parts, each infers a qu…
Non-Abelian generalization of off-diagonal geometric phases
David Kult, Johan Åberg, Erik Sjöqvist
If a quantum system evolves in a noncyclic fashion the corresponding geometric phase or holonomy may not be fully defined. Off-diagonal geometric phases have been developed to deal…
On the impossibility of extracting classical randomness using a quantum computer
Yevgeniy Dodis, Renato Renner
In this work we initiate the question of whether quantum devices can provide us with an almost perfect source of classical randomness, and more generally, suffice for classical cry…
Goedel and Physics
John D. Barrow
We introduce some early considerations of physical and mathematical impossibility as preludes to the Goedel incompleteness theorems. We consider some informal aspects of these theo…
