Charmonium Options for the X(3872)
Ted Barnes, Steve Godfrey
In this paper we consider all possible 1D and 2P ccbar assignments for the recently discovered X(3872). Taking the experimental mass as input, we give numerical results for the E1…
Atomic lines in infrared spectra for ultracool dwarfs
Yu. Lyubchik, H. R. A. Jones, Ya. V. Pavlenko +3
We provide a set of atomic lines which are suitable for the description of ultracool dwarf spectra from 10000 to 25000 Å. This atomic linelist was made using both synthetic spectra…
The Size of the Longest Filaments in the Universe
Somnath Bharadwaj, Suketu Bhavsar, Jatush V. Sheth
We analyze the filamentarity in the Las Campanas redshift survey (LCRS) and determine the length scale at which filaments are statistically significant. The largest length-scale at…
XMM-Newton observations of two X-ray bright galaxy groups - pushing out to r_500
Jesper Rasmussen, Trevor J. Ponman
We report on the results of XMM-Newton observations of the z=0.18 galaxy group WARPJ0943.7+1644 and the nearby poor cluster WARPJ0943.5+1640 at z=0.256. Tracing the X-ray gas out t…
Magnetotransport near a quantum critical point in a simple metal
Ya. B. Bazaliy, R. Ramazashvili, Q. Si +1
We use geometric considerations to study transport properties, such as the conductivity and Hall coefficient, near the onset of a nesting-driven spin density wave in a simple metal…
Massive Elementary Particles and Black Holes
B. F. L. Ward
An outstanding problem posed by Einstein's general theory of relativity to the quantum theory of point particle fields is the fate of a massive point particle; for, in the classica…
Spectropolarimetry of Compton-thin Seyfert 2s
S. L. Lumsden, D. M. Alexander, J. H. Hough
We present new spectropolarimetry of a sample of nearby Compton-thin Seyfert 2 galaxies (ie those with N_H<10^23 cm^-2). We show that the detection rate of scattered broad Halpha i…
Time Structure of Muonic Showers
L. Cazon, R. A. Vazquez, A. A. Watson +1
An analytical description of the time structure of the pulses induced by muons in air showers at ground level is deduced assuming the production distance distribution for the muons…
Strong Decays: Past, Present and Future
T. Barnes
In this talk I review the history of models of strong decays, from the original model through applications to charmonium, light and charmed mesons, glueballs and hybrids. Our curre…
XMM-Newton observation of Kepler's supernova remnant
G. Cassam-Chenai, A. Decourchelle, J. Ballet +3
We present the first results coming from the observation of Kepler's supernova remnant obtained with the EPIC instruments on board the XMM-Newton satellite. We focus on the images…
Commensurability effects induced by a periodic array of nanoscale anti-dots in Nb superconductor
A. A. Zhukov, E. T. Filby, P. A. J. de Groot +2
We study the interactions of the vortex lattice with a periodic square array of holes in a superconducting Nb film using magnetic and resistive measurements. Three different temper…
Mid- to Far-Infrared spectroscopy of Sharpless 171
Y. Okada, T. Onaka, H. Shibai +1
We have collected one-dimensional raster-scan observations of the active star-forming region Sharpless 171 (S171), a typical HII region-molecular cloud complex, with the three spec…
Superconducting anti-dot arrays from self-assembly template methods
A. A. Zhukov, E. T. Filby, M. A. Ghanem +2
We present results of electrochemical deposition of superconducting Pb in the pores of templates prepared by self-assembly from colloidal suspensions of polystyrene latex spheres.…
Radio Cores of Bipolar Nebulae: Search for Collimated Winds
Ting-Hui Lee, Jeremy Lim, Sun Kwok
We present results of our search for collimated ionized winds in bipolar nebulae using the Very Large Array (VLA) and the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). Our search is mo…
From the Circumnuclear Disk in the Galactic Center to thick, obscuring tori of AGNs
B. Vollmer, T. Beckert, W. J. Duschl
We compare three different models of clumpy gas disk and show that the Circumnuclear Disk (CND) in the Galactic Center and a putative, geometrically thick, obscuring torus are best…
Arakelian 564: An XMM-Newton view
C. Vignali, W. N. Brandt, Th. Boller +2
We report on two XMM-Newton observations of the bright narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy Ark 564 taken one year apart (2000 June and 2001 June). The 0.6-10 keV continuum is well describ…
The orbital period of the dipping, bursting, globular cluster X-ray source XB 1746-371 from Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer observations
M. Balucinska-Church, M. J. Church, A. P. Smale
We present results from two long observations of XB 1746-371 by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) in 2002 January and May, lasting 4 and 5 days respectively. Dips are observed…
Exploring the complex X-ray spectrum of NGC 4051
K. A. Pounds, J. N. Reeves, A. R. King +1
Archival XMM-Newton data on the nearby Seyfert galaxy NGC 4051, taken in relatively high and low flux states, offer a unique opportunity to explore the complexity of its X-ray spec…
Testing the locality of transport in self-gravitating accretion discs
Giuseppe Lodato, W. K. M. Rice
In this paper we examine the issue of characterizing the transport associated with gravitational instabilities in relatively cold discs, discussing in particular under which condit…
