New Method to Measure Proper Motions of Microlensed Sources: Application to Candidate Free-Floating-Planet Event MOA-2011-BLG-262

Jan Skowron, Andrzej Udalski, Michał K Szymański +9

We develop a new method to measure source proper motions in microlensing events, which can partially overcome problems due to blending. It takes advantage of the fact that the sour…

A molecular line scan in the Hubble Deep Field North

R. Decarli, F. Walter, C. Carilli +20

We present a molecular line scan in the Hubble Deep Field North (HDF-N) that covers the entire 3mm window (79-115 GHz) using the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer. Our CO redshif…

Thought Experiments on Gravitational Forces

Donald Lynden-Bell, Joseph Katz

Large contributions to the near closure of the Universe and to the acceleration of its expansion are due to the gravitation of components of the stress-energy tensor other than its…

Newtonian Atlas for Dust-Filled FRW Universe

Nicholas S. Manton

The metric of an FRW universe filled with pressureless dust is shown to agree, close to any spacetime point, with a curved Newtonian-type metric where Einstein's equations simplify…

Reconstructing the sky location of gravitational-wave detected compact binary systems: methodology for testing and comparison

Trevor Sidery, Ben Aylott, Nelson Christensen +20

The problem of reconstructing the sky position of compact binary coalescences detected via gravitational waves is a central one for future observations with the ground-based networ…

Conductance fingerprint of Majorana fermions in the topological Kondo effect

Martin R. Galpin, Andrew K. Mitchell, Jesada Temaismithi +3

We consider an interacting nanowire/superconductor heterostructure attached to metallic leads. The device is described by an unusual low-energy model involving spin-1 conduction el…

Bottomonium and B results from full lattice QCD

C. T. H. Davies, B. Colquhoun, B. Galloway +7

We have developed two methods for handling quarks in lattice QCD. One uses NRQCD (now improved to include radiative corrections) and the other uses Highly Improved Staggered Qu…

Out-of-equilibrium Baryogenesis and SuperWIMP Dark Matter

Giorgio Arcadi, Laura Covi, Marco Nardecchia

The experimental fact that the energy density in Dark Matter and in Baryons is of the same order is one of the most puzzling in cosmology. In this letter we suggest a new mechanism…

Holographic thermalization, quasinormal modes and superradiance in Kerr-AdS

Vitor Cardoso, Oscar J. C. Dias, Gavin S. Hartnett +2

Black holes in anti-de Sitter (AdS) backgrounds play a pivotal role in the gauge/gravity duality where they determine, among other things, the approach to equilibrium of the dual f…

Measurement of the magnetic interaction between two electrons

Shlomi Kotler, Nitzan Akerman, Nir Navon +2

Electrons have an intrinsic, indivisible, magnetic dipole aligned with their internal angular momentum (spin). The magnetic interaction between two electrons can therefore impose a…
