Considerations on the Role of Fall-Back Discs in the Final Stages of the Common Envelope Binary Interaction

description: The common envelope interaction is thought to be the gateway to all evolved compact binaries and mergers. Hydrodynamic simulations of the common envelope interaction between giant stars and their companions are restricted to the dynamical, fast, in-spiral phase. They find that the giant envelope is lifted during this phase, but remains mostly bound to the system. At the same time, the orbital separation is greatly reduced, but in most simulations it levels off? at values larger than measured from observations. We conjectured that during the post-in-spiral phase the bound envelope gas will return to the system. Using hydrodynamic simulations, we generate initial conditions for our simulation that result in a fall-back disk with total mass and angular momentum in line with quantities from the simulations of Passy et al. We find that the simulated fall-back event reduces the orbital separation efficiently, but fails to unbind the gas before the separation levels off once again. We also find that more massive fall-back disks reduce the orbital separation more efficiently, but the efficiency of unbinding remains invariably very low. From these results we deduce that unless a further energy source contributes to unbinding the envelope (such as was recently tested by Nandez et al.), all common envelope interactions would result in mergers. On the other hand, additional energy sources are unlikely to help, on their own, to reduce the orbital separation. We conclude by discussing our dynamical fall-back event in the context of a thermally-regulated post-common envelope phase.

Racialized Computational Thinking: The Case for College Admissions

description: The social sciences can identify social inequalities, while computer science is able to scale the solutions. But scholars lack a framework to sufficiently combine the two, especially in inquiries concerned about race. Without intentionality, as scholars such as Safiya Nobles and Ruha Benjamin note, algorithms exacerbate racism by replicating racist structures and hierarchies. In this text, I propose a new framework, racialized computational thinking, where racial formation theory and critical race theory is used as part of the abstraction skill in computational thinking to identify systemic patterns. I expand Michael Omi and Howard Winant’s advancement of race formation theory to include lessons learned from scholars of Afro-Latinx identity formation, namely the importance of time and place as part of what is absent in computer science framings of race. I then apply this framework, racialized computational thinking, to college admissions to better understand how structural inequalities currently impact access to higher education for students racialized as Black and African American.
Biological control – is it safe?

description: Introduction to talk, Biological control: The risks, benefits and challengesBiological control is a natural phenomenon, but pest management using natural enemies has been manipulated by man for over 3000 years, with Chinese farmers recognising they could reduce the impact of orchard pests by transferring predatory ant nests to their trees. In her talk, Barbara will describe the recent history of biological control and, in particular, the rise in interest in biosafety aspects. This followed a groundswell of concerns about potential harmful ecological impacts. After a period of intense controversy, it was generally accepted that pre-release risk assessment for biocontrol agents should be a requirement, and many regulatory agencies throughout the world have legislated accordingly. Barbara’s work in the multi-agency research collaboration ‘Better Border Biosecurity’ focuses on risk assessment for intentional introduction of biological control agents. She will describe research by the team to support decisions of the Environmental Protection Authority and DOC who evaluate the risk to the conservation estate. -- The Wanaka Branch of the Royal Society

For the charm quark we use overlap valence quarks while a non-relativistic formulation is utilized for the bottom quark on a background of 2+1+1 flavors HISQ gauge configurations generated by the MILC collaboration. The hyperfine splitting between $1S$ states of $B_c$ mesons is found to be $56^{+4}_{-3}$ MeV. We also study the baryons containing only charm and bottom quarks and predict their ground state masses. Results are obtained at three lattice spacings.

A Reduced-Complexity Maximum-Likelihood Detection with a sub-optimal BER Requirement

description: Maximum likelihood (ML) detection is an optimal signal detection scheme, which is often difficult to implement due to its high computational complexity, especially in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) scenario. In a system with $N_t$ transmit antennas employing $M$-ary modulation, the ML-MIMO detector requires $M^{N_t}$ cost function (CF) evaluations followed by a search operation for detecting the symbol with the minimum CF value. However, a practical system needs the bit-error ratio (BER) to be application-dependent which could be sub-optimal. This implies that it may not be necessary to have the minimal CF solution all the time. Rather it is desirable to search for a solution that meets the required sub-optimal BER. In this work, we propose a new detector design for a SISO/MIMO system by obtaining the relation between BER and CF which also improves the computational complexity of the ML detector for a sub-optimal BER.

title: Time-Domain Ptychography and its Applications in Ultrafast Science
Creators: name: Schweizer, Tobias
Publisher: name: Universität Bern
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: 540 Chemistry

description: Time-Domain Ptychography (TDP) is a relatively new approach to iteratively solve the phase retrieval problem. It was introduced in 2015 as a tool to characterise ultrashort laser pulses and has gained a considerable amount of popularity since then. Compared to the well established FROG-like algorithms, TDP is much more data-efficient.
After examining the ptychographic model in terms of both projection-based and gradient-based algorithms and comparing possible implementations, the Thesis explores three applications of TDP. First, the characterisation capablilties of TDP are extended into vector-fields, thus allowing for the reconstruction of time-dependent polarisation states of ultrashort laser pulses. The new td-vPIE algorithm is tested against a large set of synthetic data and its accuracy is verified in a set of simple experiments with both constant and time-varying polarisation states.
Moving away from characterisation, TDP is applied to SFG spectroscopy, specically the spectroscopy of vibrational modes of surface polymers. A short summary of the mathematical model and its connection to ptychography is given, and the approach is tested in a set of simulations. The findings are verfied with a set of measurements of the vibrational response of octadecanethiol (ODT) on a gold substrate.
Finally, an excursion into the realm of attosecond physics is made. The use of TDP as a diagnostics tool to characterise FEL pulses from electron streaking traces is discussed, and after providing a mathematical relationship between streaking traces and ptychograms, the possibility of single-shot FEL pulse characterisation is explored. Later on TDP is used beyond characterisation, namely to estimate the time delay between the 2s and 2p photoelectron emissions in neon using data obtained at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter.

description: The recent discovery of semiconducting two-dimensional materials has led to the prediction of a revolution in the field of optoelectronics, driven by the introduction of a series of new components that are just a few atoms thick. Key remaining challenges for producing practical devices from these materials lie in improving the coupling of light into and out of single atomic layers, and in making these layers robust to the influence of their surrounding environment. We present a solution to tackle both of these problems simultaneously, by deterministically placing a micro-lens directly onto the surface of these materials. These lenses are dynamically tuned to increase the coupling of light, whilst controlling chromatic aberration, before being set in place with UV light. We show that this approach enhances photoluminescence of tungsten diselenide (WSe2) monolayers by up to 300%, and nearly doubles the imaging resolution of the system. Furthermore, this solution fully encapsulates the monolayer, preventing it from physical damage and degradation in air. The optical solution we have developed could become a key enabling technology for the mass production of ultra-thin optical devices, such as quantum light emitting diodes.

description: We present a modified gyrokinetic theory to predict the critical gradient that determines the linear onset of the ion temperature gradient (ITG) mode in stellarator plasmas. A coarse-graining technique is applied to the drift curvature, entering the standard gyrokinetic equations, around local minima. Thanks to its simplicity, this novel formalism yields an estimate for the critical gradient with a computational cost low enough for application to stellarator optimization. On comparing against a gyrokinetic solver, our results show good agreement for an assortment of stellarator designs. Insight gained here into the physics of the onset of the ITG driven instability enables us to devise a compact configuration, similar to the Wendelstein 7-X device, but with almost twice the ITG linear critical gradient, an improved nonlinear critical gradient, and reduced ITG mode transport above the nonlinear critical gradient.

description: We study a microscopic derivation and the properties of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) between local magnetic moments in ferromagnet/heavy metal heterostructures. First, we derive DMI by Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida interaction through electrons in a heavy metal with Rashba spin orbit interaction (SOI). Next, we study the dependences of the DMI on the Rashba SOI, lattice constant, and chemical potential. We find that the DMI amplitude increases linearly when the Rashba SOI is small, has a maximum when the Rashba SOI is comparable to the hopping integral, and decreases when the Rashba SOI is large. The sign of the DMI not only changes depending on the sign of the Rashba SOI but also the lattice constants and the chemical potential of the heavy metal. The implications of the obtained results for experiments are discussed.

description: The AC Josephson effect predicted in 1962 and observed experimentally in 1963 as quantised voltage steps (the Shapiro steps) from photon assisted tunnelling of Cooper pairs is among the most fundamental phenomena of quantum mechanics and is vital for metrological quantum voltage standards. The physically dual effect, the AC coherent quantum phase slip (CQPS), photon assisted tunnelling of magnetic fluxes through a superconducting nanowire, is envisaged to reveal itself as quantised current steps. The basic physical significance of the AC CQPS is also complemented by practical importance in future current standards; a missing element for closing the Quantum Metrology Triangle. In 2012, the CQPS was demonstrated as superposition of magnetic flux quanta in superconducting nanowires. However the direct sharp current steps in superconductors; the only unavailable basic effect of superconductivity to date, was unattainable due to lack of appropriate materials and challenges in circuit engineering. Here we report the direct observation of the dual Shapiro steps in a superconducting nanowire. The sharp steps are clear up to 26 GHz frequency with current values 8.3 nA and limited by the present setup bandwidth. The current steps have been theoretically predicted in small Josephson junctions (JJs) 30 years ago. However, broadening unavoidable in JJs prevents their direct experimental observation. We solve this problem by placing a thin NbN nanowire in an inductive environment.

description: We study a one-dimensional quasiperiodic system described by the Aubry-André model in the small wave vector limit and demonstrate the existence of almost mobility edges and critical regions in the system. It is well known that the eigenstates of the Aubry-André model are either extended or localized depending on the strength of incommensurate potential $V$ being less or bigger than a critical value $V_c$, and thus no mobility edge exists. However, it was shown in a recent work that this conclusion does not hold true when the wave vector $α$ of the incommensurate potential is small, and for the system with $VV_c$, for which all eigenstates are localized states, but can be divided into extended, critical and localized states in their dual space by utilizing the self-duality property of the Aubry-André model.

Observation of an Alfvén Wave Parametric Instability in a Laboratory Plasma

description: A shear Alfvén wave parametric instability is observed for the first time in the laboratory. When a single finite $ω/Ω_i$ kinetic Alfvén wave (KAW) is launched in the Large Plasma Device above a threshold amplitude, three daughter modes are produced. These daughter modes have frequencies and parallel wave numbers that are consistent with copropagating KAW sidebands and a low frequency nonresonant mode. The observed process is parametric in nature, with the frequency of the daughter modes varying as a function of pump wave amplitude. The daughter modes are spatially localized on a gradient of the pump wave magnetic field amplitude in the plane perpendicular to the background field, suggesting that perpendicular nonlinear forces (and therefore $k_{\perp}$ of the pump wave) play an important role in the instability process. Despite this, modulational instability theory with $k_{\perp}=0$ has several features in common with the observed nonresonant mode and Alfvén wave sidebands.

description: There have been significant challenges in processing early data from JWST and assessing the reliability of the results. Problems often reveal themselves when trying to achieve the anticipated signal-to-noise ratios, when searching for rare sources (e.g. at extremely high redshift), or when trying to determine whether a galaxy in an unexpected part of parameter space is real or the result of some artifact. This talk will present real-world examples of such data challenges from the CEERS and NGDEEP programs, review some of the solutions and work-arounds, and discuss possible implications for Roman observing strategies and Roman data processing.

In this article we review what is known when these operators have some essential spectrum and describe some new results in terms of associated spectral shift functions. We are especially interested in extensions to non-Fredholm situations, replacing the Fredholm index by the Witten index, and use a particular $(1+1)$-dimensional model setup to illustrate our approach based on spectral shift functions.

description: The advent of Wide Field Adaptive Optics (WFAO) systems marks the beginning of a new era in high spatial resolution imaging. The newly commissioned Gemini South Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics System (GeMS) combined with the infrared camera Gemini South Adaptive Optics Imager (GSAOI), delivers quasi diffraction-limited images over a field of 2 arc-minutes across. However, despite this excellent performance, some variable residues still limit the quality of the analyses. In particular, distortions severely affect GSAOI and become a critical issue for high-precision astrometry and photometry. In this paper, we investigate an optimal way to correct for the distortion following an inverse problem approach. Formalism as well as applications on GeMS data are presented.

description: Molecular electronics originally proposed that small molecules sandwiched between electrodes would accomplish electronic functions and enable to reach ultimate scaling. However, so far, functional molecular devices have been only demonstrated at low frequency. Here, we demonstrate molecular diodes operating up to 17.8 GHz. DC (direct current) and RF (radio frequency) properties were simultaneously measured on a large array of molecular junctions composed of gold nanocrystal electrodes, ferrocenyl undecanethiol molecules, and the tip of an interferometric scanning microwave microscope. The present nanometer-scale molecular diodes offer a current density increase by several orders of magnitude compared to that of micrometer-scale molecular diodes, allowing RF operation. The measured S11 parameters show a diode rectification ratio of 12 dB which is linked to the rectification behavior of the DC conductance. From the RF measurements, we extrapolate a cut-off frequency of 520 GHz. A comparison with the silicon RFSchottky diodes architecture suggests that the RF-molecular diodes are extremely attractive for scaling and high-frequency operation.

description: This paper presents multiwavelength observations of a flare-generated type II radio burst. The kinematics of the shock derived from the type II closely match a fast EUV wave seen propagating through coronal arcade loops. The EUV wave was closely associated with an impulsive M1.0 flare without a related coronal mass ejection, and was triggered at one of the footpoints of the arcade loops in active region NOAA 12035. It was initially observed in the AIA 335 Å images with a speed of ~800 km/s and accelerated to ~1490 km/s after passing through the arcade loops. A fan-spine magnetic topology was revealed at the flare site. A small, confined filament eruption (~340 km/s) was also observed moving in the opposite direction to the EUV wave. We suggest that breakout reconnection in the fan-spine topology triggered the flare and associated EUV wave that propagated as a fast shock through the arcade loops.

Confinement in Lattice QCD

description: QCD provides the fundamental description of the strong force and is a key component of the Standard Model. QCD is a quantum gauge field theory with local SU(3) symmetry that describes the interactions of coloured quarks and gluons. These are observed to be confined inside hadronic states, such as the protons, neutrons and pions. Colour confinement is among the most important and fascinating phenomena in fundamental physics. A characteristic feature of confinement is the formation of chromo-electric flux tubes, usually called QCD strings, that connect a quark with an antiquark. These strings have been observed in numerical Lattice QCD calculations and found that they behave to an adequate extent as bosonic Nambu-Goto strings. I would thus, present a general overview of confinement and I will then focus on the behaviour of flux-tubes as bosonic strings by focussing on our new findings on the spectrum of closed flux-tubes. Namely, our calculations demonstrate that most flux tube states exhibit a spectrum which can be approximated adequately by Nambu-Goto and in addition there is strong evidence for the existence of a massive axion on the world-sheet of the QCD flux-tube as well as a bound state of two such axions.

description: In the previous paper, we have constructed two $f(T)$ models with nonminimal torsion-matter coupling extension, which are successful in describing the evolution history of the Universe including the radiation-dominated era, the matter-dominated era, and the present accelerating expansion. Meantime, the significant advantage of these models is that they could avoid the cosmological constant problem of $Λ$CDM. However, the nonminimal coupling between matter and torsion will affect the tests of Solar system. In this paper, we study the effects of Solar system in these models, including the gravitation redshift, geodetic effect and perihelion preccesion. We find that Model I can pass all three of the Solar system tests. For Model II, the parameter is constrained by the measure of the perihelion precession of Mercury.

description: China's stock market is the largest emerging market all over the world. It is widely accepted that the Chinese stock market is far from efficiency and it possesses possible linear and nonlinear dependence. We study the predictability of returns in the Chinese stock market by employing the wild bootstrap automatic variance ratio test and the generalized spectral test. We find that the return predictability vary over time and significant return predictability is observed around market turmoils. Our findings are consistent with the Adaptive Markets Hypothesis and have practical implications for market participants.

description: From his observations of the A.D. 1572 super-nova and the A.D. 1577 comet, Tycho Brahe concluded that such transient celestial objects are outside the Earth's atmosphere, and he quoted the 9th century A.D. Persian astrologer and astronomer Abu Mashar: Dixit Albumasar, Cometa supra Venerem visus fuit, i.e. that he had reported much earlier that comets were seen beyond Venus. However, even from a more detailed Latin translation, the observations and logic behind Abu Mashar's conclusion were not understandable. We present here the original Arabic text (MS Ankara, Saib 199) together with our translation and interpretation: Abu Mashar reported that he had observed Venus in (or projected onto) the tail of a comet and concluded that the comet was behind Venus, because he had observed the extinction of Venus due to the cometary tail to be negligible (light of Venus was unimpaired). He then concluded that the comet would be located behind Venus. He also mentioned that others had observed Jupiter and Saturn in cometary tails, so that those comets would even be located beyond those two outer planets - in the sphere of the stars. The dates of the observed close conjunctions were not mentioned; using known orbital elements for a few comets, we found a few close conjunctions between comets and planets from A.D. 770 to 868, but we cannot be sure regarding which conjunctions were reported. While the argument of Abu Mashar is not correct (as cometary tails are optically thin), parts of the conclusion - namely that comets are outside the Earth atmosphere and beyond the moon - is correct. This may have helped Tycho Brahe to come to his revolutionary conclusion.

description: Based on the order flow data of a stock and its warrant, the immediate price impacts of market orders are estimated by two competitive models, the power-law model (PL model) and the logarithmic model (LG model). We find that the PL model is overwhelmingly superior to the LG model, regarding the robustness of the estimated parameters and the accuracy of out-of-sample forecasting. We also find that the price impacts of ask and bid orders are consistent with each other for filled trades, since significant positive correlations are observed between the model parameters of both types of orders. Our findings may provide valuable insights for optimal trade execution.

description: Introduction Postnatal steroids during the first few weeks of life have been demonstrated to be effective in decreasing the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a serious chronic respiratory condition affecting preterm infants. However, this preventive option is limited by the concern of neurological side effects. Steroids are used to treat established BPD in an attempt to reduce mortality, and length of stay and home oxygen therapy, both of which associated with high levels of parental stress and healthcare costs. Moreover, a late timing for steroid treatment may show a more favourable safety profile in terms of neurodevelopment outcomes, considering the added postnatal brain maturation of these infants. Here, we report a protocol for a systematic review, which aims to determine the efficacy and long-term safety of postnatal steroids for the treatment of established BPD in preterm infants. Methods and analysis MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane databases and sources of grey literature for conference abstracts and trial registrations will be searched with no time or language restriction. We will include case–control studies, cohort studies and non-randomised or randomised trials that evaluate postnatal steroids for infants diagnosed with moderate or severe established BPD at 36 weeks’ postmenstrual age. We will pool data from studies that are sufficiently similar to make this appropriate. Data extraction forms will be developed a priori. Observational studies and non-randomised and randomised clinical trials will be analysed separately. We will combine OR with 95% CI for dichotomous outcomes and the mean difference (95% CI) for continuous outcomes. We will account for the expected heterogeneity by using a random-effects model. We will perform subgroup analysis based on the a priori determined covariate of interest. Ethics and dissemination Systematic reviews are exempted from approval by an ethics committee. Attempts will be sought to publish all results.

description: Using angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) we report the first band dispersions and distinct features of the bulk Fermi surface (FS) in the paramagnetic metallic phase of the prototypical metal-insulator transition material V$_2$O$_3$. Along the $c$-axis we observe both an electron pocket and a triangular hole-like FS topology, showing that both V 3$d$ $a_{1g}$ and $e_g^π$ states contribute to the FS. These results challenge the existing correlation-enhanced crystal field splitting theoretical explanation for the transition mechanism and pave the way for the solution of this mystery.

description: Van Dam and Hayden introduced a concept commonly referred to as embezzlement, where, for any entangled quantum state $ϕ$, there is an entangled catalyst state $ψ$, from which a high fidelity approximation of $ϕ\otimes ψ$ can be produced using only local operations. We investigate a version of this where the embezzlement is perfect (i.e., the fidelity is 1). We prove that perfect embezzlement is impossible in a tensor product framework, even with infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces and infinite entanglement entropy. Then we prove that perfect embezzlement is possible in a commuting operator framework. We prove this using the theory of C*-algebras and we also provide an explicit construction. Next, we apply our results to analyze perfect versions of a nonlocal game introduced by Regev and Vidick. Finally, we analyze the structure of perfect embezzlement protocols in the commuting operator model, showing that they require infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces.

description: Graphene on an insulating ferromagnetic substrate---ferromagnetic insulator or ferromagnetic metal with a tunnel barrier---is expected to exhibit giant proximity exchange and spin-orbit couplings. We use a realistic transport model of charge-disorder scattering and solve the linearized Boltzmann equation numerically exactly for the anisotropic Fermi contours of modified Dirac electrons to find magnetotransport signatures of these proximity effects: proximity anisotropic magnetoresistance, inverse spin-galvanic effect, and the planar Hall resistivity. We establish the corresponding anisotropies due to the exchange and spin-orbit couplings, with respect to the magnetization orientation. We also present parameter maps guiding towards optimal regimes for observing transport magnetoanisotropies in proximity graphene.
