Imaging the Thermal and Kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect Signals in a Sample of Ten Massive Galaxy Clusters: Constraints on Internal Velocity Structures and Bulk Velocities

Jack Sayers, Alfredo Montaña, Tony Mroczkowski +10

We have imaged the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect signals at 140 and 270 GHz towards ten galaxy clusters with Bolocam and AzTEC/ASTE. We also used Planck data to constrain the sign…

A Heavenly Example of Scale Free Networks and Self-Organized Criticality

Maya Paczuski, David Hughes

The sun provides an explosive, heavenly example of self-organized criticality. Sudden bursts of intense radiation emanate from rapid rearrangements of the magnetic field network in…

Scale-Free Magnetic Networks: Comparing Observational Data with a Self-Organizing Model of the Coronal Field

David Hughes, Maya Paczuski

We propose that the coronal magnetic field, linking concentrations on the photosphere through an interwoven web of flux, embodies a scale-free network. It arises from a self-organi…

Solar Flares as Cascades of Reconnecting Magnetic Loops

D. Hughes, M. Paczuski, R. O. Dendy +2

A model for the solar coronal magnetic field is proposed where multiple directed loops evolve in space and time. Loops injected at small scales are anchored by footpoints of opposi…

Large Scale Structures, Symmetry, and Universality in Sandpiles

David Hughes, Maya Paczuski

We introduce a sandpile model where, at each unstable site, all grains are transferred randomly to downstream neighbors. The model is local and conservative, but not Abelian. This…
