Probing the polarization characteristics of SS433 on mas scales
Z. Paragi, R. C. Vermeulen, D. C. Homan +5
We present a status report of dedicated circular polarization (CP) global VLBI observations of SS433. The total intensity image of the source is presented. We do not detect linear…
Depolarizing power and polarization entropy of light scattering media: experiment and theory
Graciana Puentes, Dirk Voigt, Andrea Aiello +1
We experimentally investigate the depolarizing power and the polarization entropy of a broad class of scattering optical media. By means of polarization tomography, these quantitie…
The Nuclear Orbital Distribution in Galaxies as Fossil Record of Black Hole Formation from Integral-Field Spectroscopy
Michele Cappellari, Richard McDermid
In the past decade, most effort in the study of supermassive black holes (BHs) has been devoted to measuring their masses. This lead to the finding of the tight M_BH-sigma relation…
Detection of Two Massive CO Systems in 4C 41.17 at z = 3.8
Carlos De Breuck, Dennis Downes, Roberto Neri +4
We have detected CO(4-3) in the z=3.8 radio galaxy 4C 41.17 with the IRAM Interferometer. The CO is in two massive (M_dyn ~ 6 x 10^10 M_Sun) systems separated by 1.8" (13 kpc), and…
Modeling viscoelastic flow with discrete methods
Ellak Somfai, Alexander N. Morozov, Wim van Saarloos
The hydrodynamics of viscoelastic materials (for example polymer melts and solutions) presents interesting and complex phenomena, for example instabilities and turbulent flow at ve…
Electronic shell effects and the stability of alkali nanowires
D. F. Urban, J. Bürki, A. I. Yanson +4
Experimental conductance histograms for Na nanowires are analyzed in detail and compared to recent theoretical results on the stability of cylindrical and elliptical nanowires, usi…
