Relativistic Outflows in Active Galactic Nuclei
N. Vlahakis, A. Konigl
There are observational indications that relativistic outflows in AGNs are accelerated over distances that far exceed the scale of the central engine. Examples include the radio ga…
Large-scale magnetic fields in GRB outflows: acceleration, collimation, and neutron decoupling
N. Vlahakis, A. Konigl
Using ideal magnetohydrodynamics we examine an outflow from a disk surrounding a stellar-mass compact object. We demonstrate that the magnetic acceleration is efficient (of the ord…
Supernova Science at Spallation Neutron Sources
W. R. Hix, A. Mezzacappa, O. E. B. Messer +1
New facilities to measure neutrino-nucleus cross sections, such as those possible in conjunction with spallation neutron sources, could provide an experimental foundation for the m…
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…
On the Importance of Searching for Oscillations of the Jovian Inner Radiation Belt with a Quasi-Period of 40 Minutes
Yu-Qing Lou, Chen Zheng
Experiments aboard the Ulysses spacecraft discovered quasi-periodic bursts of relativistic electrons and of radio emissions with ~40-minute period(QP-40) from the south pole of Jup…
Galaxy-CMB Lensing
Scott Dodelson, Glenn D. Starkman
A long-standing problem in astrophysics is to measure the mass associated with galaxies. Gravitational lensing provides one of the cleanest ways to make this measurement. To date,…
