The Spitzer View of Low-Metallicity Star Formation: II. Mrk 996, a Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxy with an Extremely Dense Nucleus

description: (abridged) We present new Spitzer, UKIRT and MMT observations of the blue compact dwarf galaxy (BCD) Mrk 996, with an oxygen abundance of 12+log(O/H)=8.0. This galaxy has the peculiarity of possessing an extraordinarily dense nuclear star-forming region, with a central density of ~10^6 cm^{-3}. The nuclear region of Mrk 996 is characterized by several unusual properties: a very red color J-K = 1.8, broad and narrow emission-line components, and ionizing radiation as hard as 54.9 eV, as implied by the presence of the OIV 25.89 micron line. The nucleus is located within an exponential disk with colors consistent with a single stellar population of age >1 Gyr. The infrared morphology of Mrk 996 changes with wavelength. The IRS spectrum shows strong narrow Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) emission, with narrow line widths and equivalent widths that are high for the metallicity of Mrk 996. Gaseous nebular fine-structure lines are also seen. A CLOUDY model requires that they originate in two distinct HII regions: a very dense HII region of radius ~580 pc with densities declining from ~10^6 at the center to a few hundreds cm^{-3} at the outer radius, where most of the optical lines arise; and a HII region with a density of ~300 cm^{-3} that is hidden in the optical but seen in the MIR. We suggest that the infrared lines arise mainly in the optically obscured HII region while they are strongly suppressed by collisional deexcitation in the optically visible one. The hard ionizing radiation needed to account for the OIV 25.89 micron line is most likely due to fast radiative shocks propagating in an interstellar medium. A hidden population of Wolf-Rayet stars of type WNE-w or a hidden AGN as sources of hard ionizing radiation are less likely possibilities.

Resolving the fastest ejecta from binary Neutron Star mergers: implications for electromagnetic counterparts

description: We examine the effect of spatial resolution on initial mass ejection in grid-based hydrodynamic simulations of binary neutron star mergers. The subset of the dynamical ejecta with velocities greater than $\sim 0.6$c can generate an ultraviolet precursor to the kilonova on $\sim$hr timescales and contribute to a years-long non-thermal afterglow. Previous work has found differing amounts of this fast ejecta, by one- to two orders of magnitude, when using particle-based or grid-based hydrodynamic methods. Here we carry out a numerical experiment that models the merger as an axisymmetric collision in a co-rotating frame, accounting for Newtonian self-gravity, inertial forces, and gravitational wave losses. The lower computational cost allows us to reach spatial resolutions as high as $4$m, or $\sim 3\times 10^{-4}$ of the stellar radius. We find that fast ejecta production converges to within $10\%$ for a cell size of $20$m. This suggests that fast ejecta quantities found in existing grid-based merger simulations are unlikely to increase to the level needed to match particle-based results upon further resolution increases. The resulting neutron-powered precursors are in principle detectable out to distances $\lesssim 200$Mpc with upcoming facilities. We also find that head-on collisions at the free-fall speed, relevant for eccentric mergers, yield fast and slow ejecta quantities of order $10^{-2}M_\odot$, with a kilonova signature distinct from that of quasi-circular mergers.

description: Ternary Ba-Fe-As system has been studied to determine a primary solidification field of the BaFe$_2$As$_2$ phase. We found that the BaFe$_2$As$_2$ phase most likely melts congruently and primarily solidifies either in the FeAs excess or Ba$_{x}$As$_{100-x}$ excess liquid. Knowing the primary solidification field, we have performed the vertical Bridgman growth using the starting liquid composition of Ba$_{15}$Fe$_{42.5}$As$_{42.5}$. Large single crystals of the typical size 10x4x2 mm$^3$ were obtained and their quality was confirmed by X-ray Laue and neutron diffraction.

description: There is a growing interest in the automated characterization of open clusters using data from the Gaia mission. This work evidences the importance of choosing an appropriate sampling radius (the radius of the circular region around the cluster used to extract the data) and the usefulness of additional multiband photometry in order to achieve accurate results. We address this issue using as a case study the cluster Alessi-Teutsch 9. The optimal sampling is determined by counting the number of assigned members at different sampling radii. By using this strategy with data from Gaia EDR3 and with observed photometry in 12 bands spanning the optical range from 3000 to 10000 Å, approximately, we are able to obtain reliable members and to determine the properties of the cluster. The spatial distribution of stars show a two-component structure with a central core of radius ~12-13 arcmin and an outer halo extending out to 35 arcmin. With the derived cluster distance (654 pc) we obtain that the number density of stars is ~0.06 star/pc^3, making Alessi-Teutsch 9 one of the less dense known open clusters. The short relaxation time reveals that it is a dynamically relaxed and gravitationally bound system.

The digamma function proves to be the key tool for the computations found here for the alternating harmonic series. The permutations $ϕ$ under consideration are simple in a sense: they are involutions ($ϕ\circϕ$ is the identity function). We show that the countable set of rearrangements obtained from the simple involutions considered below are dense in the reals.

description: In the first part of this series we characterized all linear operators on spaces of multivariate polynomials preserving the property of being non-vanishing in products of open circular domains. For such sets this completes the multivariate generalization of the classification program initiated by Pólya-Schur for univariate real polynomials. We build on these classification theorems to develop here a theory of multivariate stable polynomials. Applications and examples show that this theory provides a natural framework for dealing in a uniform way with Lee-Yang type problems in statistical mechanics, combinatorics, and geometric function theory in one or several variables. In particular, we answer a question of Hinkkanen on multivariate apolarity.

description: O objetivo desse artigo é trazer a público uma tradução inédita do alemão para o português dos panfletos da testemunha alemã do Massacre de Lisboa de 1506. A tradução permite investigar com maior clareza a configuração do discurso de ódio a partir de temas que emergem de sua narrativa. Com esse intento, descreve-se as diferentes edições existentes, uma vez que o desconhecimento de sua existência levou alguns cronistas a discordar sobre algumas interpretações dos acontecimentos. Em seguida, consideramos a construção discursiva do judeu como inimigo dos cristãos e o contexto da crise urbana lisboeta dos eventos violentos. A correlação de forças políticas entre, de um lado, o rei, a corte e alto clero e, de outro lado, o povo e o baixo clero, definiu as fronteiras identitárias que foram sedimentadas pelo discurso de ódio que se verifica nos panfletos.

description: Based on a sample of 355 quasars with significant optical polarization, we found that quasar polarization vectors are not randomly oriented over the sky as naturally expected. The probability that the observed distribution of polarization angles is due to chance is lower than 0.1%. The polarization vectors of the light from quasars are aligned although the sources span huge regions of the sky (~ 1 Gpc). Groups of quasars located along similar lines of sight but at different redshifts (typically z ~ 0.5 and z ~ 1.5) are characterized by different preferred directions of polarization. These characteristics make the observed alignment effect difficult to explain in terms of a local contamination by interstellar polarization in our Galaxy. Interpreted in terms of a cosmological-size effect, we show that the dichroism and birefringence predicted by a mixing between photons and very light pseudoscalar particles within a magnetic field can qualitatively reproduce the observations. We find that circular polarization measurements could help constrain this mechanism.

Deep-inelastic electron-deuteron scattering with spectator nucleon tagging at the electron-ion collider. Extracting free nucleon structure

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Background: Deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) on the deuteron with spectator nucleon tagging represents a unique method for extracting the free neutron structure functions and exploring the nuclear modifications of bound protons and neutrons. The detection of the spectator (with typical momenta $\lesssim$ 100 MeV/c in the deuteron rest frame) controls the nuclear configuration during the DIS process and enables a differential analysis of nuclear effects. At the future electron-ion collider (EIC) such measurements will be performed using far-forward detectors. Purpose: Simulate deuteron DIS with proton or neutron tagging with the baseline EIC far-forward detector design. Quantify detector acceptance and resolution effects. Study feasibility of free nucleon structure extraction using pole extrapolation in the spectator momentum. Methods: DIS events with proton and neutron spectators are generated using the BeAGLE Monte Carlo generator. The spectator nucleon momentum is reconstructed including effects of detector acceptance and resolution. Pole extrapolation is performed under realistic conditions. The free nucleon structure extraction is validated by comparing with the input model. Results: Proton and neutron spectator detection is possible over the full transverse momentum range $0 < p_T < 100$ MeV/c needed for pole extrapolation. Resolution effects on the distributions before corrections are ~10% for proton and ~30 for neutron spectators. The overall accuracy of nucleon structure extraction is expected to be at the few-percent level. Conclusions: Free neutron structure extraction through proton tagging and pole extrapolation is feasible with the baseline EIC far-forward detector design. The corresponding extraction of free proton structure through neutron tagging provides a reference point for future studies of nuclear modifications.

description: The mass capture and utilisation of Red-billed Queleas Quelea quelea as a source of food is practiced in different African countries. The current study sought information on the trapping methods and techniques used by local communities in Chemba District, Tanzania, taking into account the respondents’ age, gender and occupation. It also captured the economic contributions and challenges associated with trapping queleas across the three study villages. Semi-structured questionnaires, focus group discussions and direct observations were used. Male respondents and adult farmers were found to participate most in quelea trapping. Queleas were used both as a source of food and income. Both a modern method (i.e. mist-netting) and traditional local trapping methods (e.g. grass basket traps and sticky tree resin) were reported to be used, but the combination of the modern and local methods was the most effective. Reported challenges included poor trapping techniques, scarcity of markets, and chemical spraying as a quelea control measure. Based on the results, we recommend detailed research on improving mass-trapping techniques and developing a marketing strategy to promote sales of the captured birds. As a long-term measure, these will contribute to improve both the livelihoods of local people and the ecological health of the communities.
title:  Dress and the Body: an Essential Reciprocal Relationship in Everyday Aesthetics
Creators: name: W. King  ,  Ian
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2021

description: Clothing or Dress is not something that we simply wear to keep warm or to protect our modesty. It possesses much deeper and more significant potential. Not least, it is the means by which we provide a personal and expressive form of non-verbal communication to audiences (and sometimes ourselves) about who we are. In this way, dress often characterizes the guise of subsequent communication - both verbally and non-verbally – not only between the wearer and the audience, but also internally to the wearer themselves. Amongst other things, this raises questions regarding the status and relationship of dress with the body, and as such, in the chapter, noting recent claims regarding the status (and privileging) of objects in new materialist writings, and turning to Merleau-Ponty's underdeveloped notion of chiasm; I argue that this is in fact a relationship of essential reciprocity and certainly not one about privileging one over the other.

Actitudes socio-políticas de Vicente Blasco Ibáñez
Creators: name: Clavero, Dolores
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Blasco Ibáñez's political and social outlook is still a controversial subject in the field of Spanish literary criticism. He has been called a radical, a communist, a socialist and an anarchist on the one hand, and, on the other, a petit bourgeois whose ideology lacked depth and who wrote largely for pecuniary interest. This thesis considers his socio-political attitudes apparent from a study of selected works from all phases of his literary career. Chapter I studies Blasco's early commitment to the Spanish Republican Party and the period of his political activity as a Parliamentary Deputy. It is shown that from his early youth Blasco was opposed to extremism of both right and left, but that he adopted a radical attitude largely out of political necessity. This resulted in literary works of considerable ambiguity: "La barraca", "Cañas y barro", and above all his "novelas de tesis" clearly demonstrate this point. Although written apparently to defend the cause of the peasant and the proletariat, Blasco in fact allows the reader to conclude either that the revolution is impossible, or that, should it ever take place, its results would be negative. Chapter II studies "Los argonautas", written after Blasco had abandoned politics, and "Los cuatro jinetes del Apocalipsis". In the first novel, released from his commitment as a political figure, Blasco arrived at a rampant defence of capitalism as the only effective road to social reform and progress. In "Los cuatro jinetes", the novel written about and during the First World War, he is seen to return to an ambivalent position, partially to be explained by his loss of faith in the power of technology and private capital alone to solve social problems. Chapter III deals with two late works, "Estudios literarios" and "La vuelta al mundo de un novelista" in which Blasco pours out his thoughts and opinions directly without the vehicle of fiction, revealing his suspicion of radical political ideologies and his inability to face up to the facts of poverty and its associated ignorance. The final conclusion is that, in spite of the variety of circumstances during Blasco's extremely active life, no notable changes occurred in his socio-political attitudes which were clearly progressive for the Spain of his time but never radical. However, it seems evident that he became increasingly sceptical towards the solutions to social problems offered by the different political creeds and consequently he adopted utopic attitudes as a form of escapism. But his firm belief in action as the main justification of human existence demanded of him a more positive response. This he achieved through his lifelong commitment to the republican ideal and his strong belief in the mission of the novelist as educator of the masses.

The effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on the relative abundance and conservation of Ludwig’s Bustard Neotis ludwigii in South Africa

description: Ludwig’s Bustard Neotis ludwigii is near-endemic to the semi-arid shrublands of southwestern southern Africa and is listed as Endangered. The primary threat to this species is collisions with overhead powerlines; however, loss and fragmentation of its habitat may contribute to its population decline. The 1990 and 2020 land-use land-cover (LULC) maps prepared for South Africa were used to determine the LULC categories that best describe suitable habitat for Ludwig’s Bustard using beta regressions and data on exact localities, as recorded in the real-time BirdLasser logging app. Optimized Hot Spot Analysis was used to determine the priority areas for conserving Ludwig’s Bustard and its habitat. Beta regression models were compiled using the reporting rate for this bird and the total surface area of suitable habitat, and three other landscape metrics, calculated using the per pentad LULC categories considered suitable habitat for the bird. These analyses revealed that, between the first and second Southern African Bird Atlas Projects, the distribution range of Ludwig’s Bustard increased by 153 quarter-degree grid cells, whereas the reporting rate for the species declined by 5.6%, along with a small net decline in its quarterdegree-grid-cell-based area of occupancy, its pentad-based area of occupancy and habitat. The habitat of Ludwig’s Bustard is dominated by shrubland with limited grassland, in primarily the Nama Karoo and Succulent Karoo biomes, and the Grassy Karoo Biome in the eastern part of its distribution. In the relative abundance hot spot of Ludwig’s Bustard, there does not currently appear to be any significant loss or fragmentation (distance between patches) of its habitat. A landscape-based approach to conserving Ludwig’s Bustard can be achieved by expanding the current network of protected areas and conserving critical biodiversity areas and ecosystem support areas, especially in the bird’s relative abundance hot spots in the Nama Karoo and Succulent Karoo biomes.

description: Constraining the distribution of gas and dust in the inner 20 au of protoplanetary disks is difficult. At the same time, this region is thought to be responsible for most planet formation, especially around the water ice line at 3-10 au. Under the assumption that the gas is in a Keplerian disk, we use the exquisite sensitivity of the Molecules with ALMA at Planet-forming Scales (MAPS) ALMA large program to construct radial surface brightness profiles with a ~3 au effective resolution for the CO isotopologue J=2-1 lines using the line velocity profile. IM Lup reveals a central depression in 13CO and C18O that is ascribed to a pileup of ~500 $M_\oplus$ of dust in the inner 20 au, leading to a gas-to-dust ratio of around <10. This pileup is consistent with efficient drift of grains ($\gtrsim$ 100 $M_\oplus$ Myr$^{-1}$) and a local gas-to-dust ratio that suggests that the streaming instability could be active. The CO isotopologue emission in the GM Aur disk is consistent with a small (~15 au), strongly depleted gas cavity within the ~40 au dust cavity. The radial surface brightness profiles for both the AS 209 and HD 163296 disks show a local minimum and maximum in the C18O emission at the location of a known dust ring (~14 au) and gap (~10 au), respectively. This indicates that the dust ring has a low gas-to-dust ratio ($>$ 10) and that the dust gap is gas-rich enough to have optically thick C18O.

description: We discuss corks, and introduce new objects which we call plugs. Though plugs are fundamentally different objects, they also detect exotic smooth structures in 4-manifolds like corks. We discuss relation between corks, plugs and rational blow-downs. We show how to detect corks and plugs inside of some exotic manifolds. Furthermore, we construct knotted corks and plugs.

description: The problem of optimal estimation of linear functionals constructed from the unobserved values of a stochastic sequence with periodically stationary increments based on observations of the sequence with stationary noise is considered. For sequences with known spectral densities, we obtain formulas for calculating values of the mean square errors and the spectral characteristics of the optimal estimates of the functionals. Formulas that determine the least favorable spectral densities and the minimax-robust spectral characteristics of the optimal linear estimates of functionals are proposed in the case where spectral densities of the sequence are not exactly known while some sets of admissible spectral densities are specified.

title:  Dressing as an Ordinary Aesthetic Practice
Creators: name: Abate  ,  Elena
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press

description: The purpose of this paper is to briefly present a new perspective on fashion as an ordinary aesthetics, based on Wittgenstein’s later aesthetic conception. In order to analyse the ordinary dimension of fashion, I will start from Giovanni Matteucci’s account of fashion as an aesthetic phenomenon as presented in his Philosophical Perspectives on Fashion (2017). There, Matteucci introduces the idea of juxtaposing the Wittgensteinian concept of “form of life” to fashion. Accordingly, my aim in this paper is to show the resemblances between the Wittgensteinian concept of “form of life” and the ordinary practice of dressing, and to characterize thereby the aesthetic connotations of the practice of fashion. I will claim that the act of dressing everyday structurally employs a kind of language which can be defined as aesthetic − according to Wittgenstein’s aesthetic account as presented during his Lectures in Cambridge in 1933 and 1938. Conclusively, I argue that in fashion (intended as everyday dressing) there is an interrelation between the grammar of language and socially encoded aesthetic responses: fashion sets new rules that define the meaning of dresses; these rules, in turn, are not eternal since they follow fashion’s cyclical seasonality and personal good taste. Thus, anyone who daily commits to the practices of clothing can acquire sensitivity to the rules and train within the same “grammar of dressing.”

description: Recent studies show that the angular momentum, both spin and orbital, of rotating light beams possesses counter-intuitive characteristics. We present a new approach to the question of orbital angular momentum of light based on the complex massless scalar field representation of light. The covariant equation for the scalar field is treated in rotating system using the general relativistic framework. First we show the equivalence of the U(1) gauge current for the scalar field with the Poynting vector continuity equation for paraxial light, and then apply the formalism to the calculation of the orbital angular momentum of rotating light beams. If the difference between the co-, contra-, and physical quantities is properly accounted for there does not result any paradox in the orbital angular momentum of rotating light. An artificial analogue of the paradoxical situation could be constructed but it is wrong within the present formalism. It is shown that the orbital angular momentum of rotating beam comprising of modes with opposite azimuthal indices corresponds to that of rigid rotation. A short review on the electromagnetism in noninertial systems is presented to motivate a fully covariant Maxwell field approach in rotating system to address the rotating light phenomenon.

description: The problem of instrument proliferation and its consequences (overfitting of the endogenous explanatory variables, biased IV and GMM estimators, weakening of the power of the overidentification tests) are well known. This paper introduces a statistical method to reduce the instrument count. The principal component analysis (PCA) is applied on the instrument matrix, and the PCA scores are used as instruments for the panel generalized method-of-moments (GMM) estimation. This strategy is implemented through the new command pca2.
Can the Pioneer anomaly be induced by velocity-dependent forces? Tests in the outer regions of solar system with planetary dynamics

description: In this paper we analyze the impact on the orbital motions of the outer planets of the solar system from Jupiter to Pluto of some velocity-dependent forces recently proposed to phenomenologically explain the Pioneer anomaly, and compare their predictions (secular variations of the longitude of perihelion \varpi or of the semimajor axis a and the eccentricity e) with the latest observational determinations by E.V. Pitjeva with the EPM2006 ephemerides. It turns out that while the predicted centennial shifts of a are so huge that they would have been easily detected for all planets with the exception of Neptune, the predicted anomalous precessions of \varpi are too small, with the exception of Jupiter, so that they are still compatible with the estimated corrections to the standard Newton-Einstein perihelion precessions. As a consequence, we incline to discard those extra-forces predicting secular variations of a and e, also for some other reasons, and to give a chance, at least observationally, to those models predicting still undetectable perihelion precessions. Of course, adequate theoretical foundations for them should be found.

description: The formation of globular clusters and their relation to the distribution of dark matter have long puzzled astronomers. One of the most recently-proposed globular cluster formation channels ties ancient star clusters to the large-scale streaming velocity of baryons relative to dark matter in the early Universe. These streaming velocities affect the global infall of baryons into dark matter halos, the high-redshift halo mass function, and the earliest generations of stars. In some cases, streaming velocities may result in dense regions of dark-matter-free gas that becomes Jeans unstable, potentially leading to the formation of compact star clusters. We investigate this hypothesis using cosmological hydrodynamical simulations that include a full chemical network and the formation and destruction of H$_2$, a process crucial for the formation of the first stars. We find that high-density gas in regions with significant streaming velocities -- which constitute approximately 1\% of the Universe -- is indeed somewhat offset from the centers of dark matter halos, but this offset is typically significantly smaller than the virial radius. Gas outside of dark matter halos never reaches Jeans-unstable densities in our simulations. We postulate that low-level ($Z \approx 10^{-3}\,Z_{\odot}$) metal enrichment by Population III supernovae may enable cooling in the extra-virial regions, allowing gas outside of dark matter halos to cool to the CMB temperature and become Jeans-unstable. Follow-up simulations that include both streaming velocities and metal enrichment by Population III supernovae are needed to understand if streaming velocities provide one path for the formation of globular clusters in the early Universe.
