description: Infrared avalanche photodiode (APD) arrays represent a panacea for many branches of astronomy by enabling extremely low-noise, high-speed, and even photon-counting measurements at near-infrared wavelengths. We recently demonstrated the use of an early engineering-grade infrared APD array that achieves a correlated double sampling read noise of 0.73 e{sup −} in the lab, and a total noise of 2.52 e{sup −} on sky, and supports simultaneous high-speed imaging and tip-tilt wavefront sensing with the Robo-AO visible-light laser adaptive optics (AO) system at the Palomar Observatory 1.5 m telescope. Here we report on the improved image quality simultaneously achieved at visible and infrared wavelengths by using the array as part of an image stabilization control loop with AO-sharpened guide stars. We also discuss a newly enabled survey of nearby late M-dwarf multiplicity, as well as future uses of this technology in other AO and high-contrast imaging applications.

description: The star HII 2407 is a member of the relatively young Pleiades star cluster and was previously discovered to be a single-lined spectroscopic binary. It is newly identified here within Kepler/K2 photometric time series data as an eclipsing binary system. Mutual fitting of the radial velocity and photometric data leads to an orbital solution and constraints on fundamental stellar parameters. While the primary has arrived on the main sequence, the secondary is still pre-main sequence and we compare our results for the M/M_⊙ and R/R_⊙ values with stellar evolutionary models. We also demonstrate that the system is likely to be tidally synchronized. Follow-up infrared spectroscopy is likely to reveal the lines of the secondary, allowing for dynamically measured masses and elevating the system to benchmark eclipsing binary status.

description: We announce the discovery of a highly inflated transiting hot Jupiter by the KELT-North survey. A global analysis including constraints from isochrones indicates that the V = 10.8 host star (HD 343246) is a mildly evolved, G dwarf with K, , , an inferred mass , and radius . The planetary companion has a mass MJ, radius RJ, surface gravity , and density g cm−3. The planet is on a roughly circular orbit with semimajor axis AU and eccentricity . The best-fit linear ephemeris is and days. This planet is one of the most inflated of all known transiting exoplanets, making it one of the few members of a class of extremely low density, highly irradiated gas giants. The low stellar and large implied radius are supported by stellar density constraints from follow-up light curves, as well as an evolutionary and space motion analysis. We also develop a new technique to extract high-precision radial velocities from noisy spectra that reduces the observing time needed to confirm transiting planet candidates. This planet boasts deep transits of a bright star, a large inferred atmospheric scale height, and a high equilibrium temperature of K, assuming zero albedo and perfect heat redistribution, making it one of the best targets for future atmospheric characterization studies.

description: Cool subdwarfs are the oldest members of the low-mass stellar population. Mostly present in the galactic halo, subdwarfs are characterized by their low-metallicity. Measuring their binary fraction and comparing it to solar-metallicity stars could give key insights into the star formation process early in the Milky Way's history. However, because of their low luminosity and relative rarity in the solar neighborhood, binarity surveys of cool subdwarfs have suffered from small sample sizes and incompleteness. Previous surveys have suggested that the binary fraction of red subdwarfs is much lower than for their main-sequence cousins. Using the highly efficient Robo-AO system, we present the largest high-resolution survey of subdwarfs, sensitive to angular separations ( 0 15) and contrast ratios ( 6) invisible in past surveys. Of 344 target cool subdwarfs, 43 are in multiple systems, 19 of which are newly discovered, for a binary fraction of 12.5 ± 1.9%. We also discovered seven triple star systems for a triplet fraction of 2.0 ± 0.8%. Comparisons to similar surveys of solar-metallicity dwarf stars gives a ~3σ disparity in luminosity between companion stars, with subdwarfs displaying a shortage of low-contrast companions. We also observe a lack of close subdwarf companions in comparison to similar-mass dwarf multiple systems.

description: We present new homogeneous measurements of Na, Al and three alpha-elements (Mg, Si, Ca) for 75 Galactic Cepheids. The abundances are based on high spectral resolution (R ~ 38,000) and high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N ~ 50-300) spectra collected with UVES at ESO VLT. The current measurements were complemented with Cepheid abundances either provided by our group (75) or available in the literature, for a total of 439 Galactic Cepheids. Special attention was given in providing a homogeneous abundance scale for these five elements plus iron (Genovali et al. 2013, 2014). In addition, accurate Galactocentric distances (RG) based on near-infrared photometry are also available for all the Cepheids in the sample (Genovali et al. 2014). They cover a large fraction of the Galactic thin disk (4.1 <= RG <= 18.4 kpc). We found that the above five elements display well defined linear radial gradients and modest standard deviations over the entire range of RG. Moreover, the [element/Fe] abundance ratios are constant across the entire thin disk; only the Ca radial distribution shows marginal evidence of a positive slope. These results indicate that the chemical enrichment history of iron and of the quoted five elements has been quite similar across the four quadrants of the Galactic thin disk. The [element/Fe] ratios are also constant over the entire period range. This empirical evidence indicates that the chemical enrichment of Galactic Cepheids has also been very homogenous during the range in age that they cover (~10-300 Myr). Once again, [Ca/Fe] vs. log(P) shows a (negative) gradient, being underabundant among youngest Cepheids. Finally, we also found that Cepheid abundances agree quite well with similar abundances for thin and thick disk dwarf stars and they follow the typical Mg-Al and Na-O correlations.

description: One aspect of the quantum nature of spacetime is its "foaminess" at very small scales. Many models for spacetime foam are defined by the accumulation power \(\alpha\), which parameterizes the rate at which Planck-scale spatial uncertainties (and thephase shifts they produce) may accumulate over large path-lengths. Here \(\alpha\) is defined by theexpression for the path-length fluctuations, \(\delta \ell\), of a source at distance \(\ell\), wherein \(\delta \ell \simeq \ell^{1 - \alpha} \ell_P^{\alpha}\), with \(\ell_P\) being the Planck length. We reassess previous proposals to use astronomical observations ofdistant quasars and AGN to test models of spacetime foam. We show explicitly how wavefront distortions on small scales cause the image intensity to decay to the point where distant objects become undetectable when the path-length fluctuations become comparable to the wavelength of the radiation. We use X-ray observations from {\em Chandra} to set the constraint \(\alpha \gtrsim 0.58\), which rules out the random walk model (with \(\alpha = 1/2\)). Much firmer constraints canbe set utilizing detections of quasars at GeV energies with {\em Fermi}, and at TeV energies with ground-based Cherenkovtelescopes: \(\alpha \gtrsim 0.67\) and \(\alpha \gtrsim 0.72\), respectively. These limits on \(\alpha\) seem to rule out \(\alpha = 2/3\), the model of some physical interest.

description: The census of exoplanets is incomplete for orbital distances larger than 1 AU. Here, we present 41 long-period planet candidates in 38 systems identified by Planet Hunters based on Kepler archival data (Q0–Q17). Among them, 17 exhibit only one transit, 14 have two visible transits, and 10 have more than three visible transits. For planet candidates with only one visible transit, we estimate their orbital periods based on transit duration and host star properties. The majority of the planet candidates in this work (75%) have orbital periods that correspond to distances of 1–3 AU from their host stars. We conduct follow-up imaging and spectroscopic observations to validate and characterize planet host stars. In total, we obtain adaptive optics images for 33 stars to search for possible blending sources. Six stars have stellar companions within 4''. We obtain high-resolution spectra for 6 stars to determine their physical properties. Stellar properties for other stars are obtained from the NASA Exoplanet Archive and the Kepler Stellar Catalog by Huber et al. We validate 7 planet candidates that have planet confidence over 0.997 (3σ level). These validated planets include 3 single-transit planets (KIC-3558849b, KIC-5951458b, and KIC-8540376c), 3 planets with double transits (KIC-8540376b, KIC-9663113b, and KIC-10525077b), and 1 planet with four transits (KIC-5437945b). This work provides assessment regarding the existence of planets at wide separations and the associated false positive rate for transiting observation (17%–33%). More than half of the long-period planets with at least three transits in this paper exhibit transit timing variations up to 41 hr, which suggest additional components that dynamically interact with the transiting planet candidates. The nature of these components can be determined by follow-up radial velocity and transit observations.

description: The goal of this work is to report a systematic and balanced review of the progress made in recent years on the high-pressure behavior of iodates, a group of materials with multiple technological applications and peculiar behaviors under external compression. This review article presents results obtained from multiple characterization techniques which include: X-ray diffraction, Raman and infrared spectroscopy, optical-absorption, resistivity, and second-harmonic generation measurements. The discussion of the results from experiments will be combined with density-functional theory calculations which have been shown to be a very useful tool for the interpretation of experimental data. Throughout the manuscript many of the phenomena observed will be connected to the presence of a lone electron pairs of the iodine atoms in the studied iodates. The presence of the lone electron pairs plays a crucial role in the high-pressure behavior of iodates and it is associated with many of the phenomena discussed here, in particular with the pressure-induced changes in the character of iodine-oxygen bonds, which causes many physical properties to behave nonlinearly. Towards the end of this review, a discussion of current problems that remain unsolved is presented as well as proposals for possible avenues for future studies.

description: L’objectif de ce travail est d’étudier l’effet du dosage en ciment et de la taille des granulats (Dmax) sur les propriétés du béton drainant. Deux gravillons de classes granulaires différentes (8/10 mm et 6.3/20 mm) et deux dosages en ciment (250 et 300 Kg/m3) ont été utilisés. Le but est l'optimisation d'une formule pour obtenir des performances optimales en termes de résistance mécanique à la compression et de perméabilité à l’eau. Les bétons drainants ont été caractérisés à l’état frais (affaissement) et à l’état durci (perméabilité, porosité et résistance mécanique). Les résultats ont montré que le Dmax est un paramètre crucial influençant les propriétés des bétons obtenus. Concernant l’état frais, un Dmax faible, couplé à un dosage en ciment faible, entraînent une meilleure ouvrabilité. Concernant l’état durci, un Dmax faible, couplé à un dosage en ciment élevé, induisent une porosité et une perméabilité à l’eau faibles, tandis que la résistance mécanique et la densité du béton sont augmentées élevée.

Une étude numérique a donc été menée sur plusieurs poteaux en béton armé, d’échelle représentative ; diverses configurations de renforcement ont été appliquées sur ces corps d’épreuve, qui ont ensuite été testés en chargement composée de compression-flexion. Ces différents essais nous ont permis d’analyser le comportement des poteaux en fonction des propriétés mécaniques des matériaux, du degré de confinement et de l’excentricité du chargement. Les modèles numériques obtenues sont discutés et comparés aux différents travaux de la littérature.

description: Luminous debris disks of warm dust in the terrestrial planet zones around solar-like stars were recently found to vary, which is indicative of ongoing large-scale collisions of rocky objects. We use Spitzer 3.6 and 4.5 μm time-series observations in 2012 and 2013 (extended to 2014 in one case) to monitor five more debris disks with unusually high fractional luminosities ("extreme debris disk"), including P1121 in the open cluster M47 (80 Myr), HD 15407A in the AB Dor moving group (80 Myr), HD 23514 in the Pleiades (120 Myr), HD 145263 in the Upper Sco Association (10 Myr), and the field star BD+20 307 (1 Gyr). Together with the published results for ID8 in NGC 2547 (35 Myr), this makes the first systematic time-domain investigation of planetary impacts outside the solar system. Significant variations with timescales shorter than a year are detected in five out of the six extreme debris disks we monitored. However, different systems show diverse sets of characteristics in the time domain, including long-term decay or growth, disk temperature variations, and possible periodicity.

description: We present optical and near-infrared adaptive optics (AO) imaging and spectroscopy of 13 ultracool (>M6) companions to late-type stars (K7-M4.5), most of which have recently been identified as candidate members of nearby young moving groups (YMGs; 8-120 Myr) in the literature. The inferred masses of the companions (~10-100 Mjup) are highly sensitive to the ages of the primary stars so we critically examine the kinematic and spectroscopic properties of each system to distinguish bona fide YMG members from old field interlopers. 2MASS J02155892-0929121 C is a new M7 substellar companion (40-60 Mjup) with clear spectroscopic signs of low gravity and hence youth. The primary, possibly a member of the ~40 Myr Tuc-Hor moving group, is visually resolved into three components, making it a young low-mass quadruple system in a compact (1 Gyr) tidally-locked spectroscopic binaries without convincing kinematic associations with any known moving group. The high rate of false positives in the form of old active stars with YMG-like kinematics underscores the importance of radial velocity and parallax measurements to validate candidate young stars identified via proper motion and activity selection alone. Finally, we spectroscopically confirm the cool temperature and substellar nature of HD 23514 B, a recently discovered M8 benchmark brown dwarf orbiting the dustiest-known member of the Pleiades.

description: We analyze two multi-chord stellar occultations by Pluto observed on July 18th, 2012 and May 4th, 2013, and monitored respectively from five and six sites. They provide a total of fifteen light-curves, twelve of them being used for a simultaneous fit that uses a unique temperature profile, assuming a clear (no-haze) and pure N_2 atmosphere, but allowing for a possible pressure variation between the two dates. We find a solution that fits satisfactorily (i.e. within the noise level) all the twelve light-curves, providing atmospheric constraints between ~1,190 km (pressure ~ 11 \mubar) and ~ 1,450 km (pressure ~0.1 \mubar) from Pluto's center. Our main results are: (1) the best-fitting temperature profile shows a stratosphere with strong positive gradient between 1,190 km (at 36 K, 11 \mubar) and r = 1,215 km (6.0 \mubar), where a temperature maximum of 110 K is reached; above it is a mesosphere with negative thermal gradient of -0.2 K/km up to ~ 1,390 km (0.25 \mubar), where, the mesosphere connects itself to a more isothermal upper branch around 81 K; (2) the pressure shows a small (6

description: Deep learning is a powerful method using neural networks to learn functional representations that relate variables of interest. This paper examines the manner of representation of those variables by neural networks and of neural networks by humans. In the first section, we examine causal relations among variables with CausalGAN. The following section will explore a theoretical connection between neural networks and support vector machines (SVMs) representing neural network functions through a sample compression scheme. The third section reparamaterizes neural networks using Min and Max combinations of linear functions and examines the connection with generalization and interpretation. The final section explores applications of this method to ECG model interpretation.
Sensitivity analysis in the modelling of debris flow with coupled CFD-DEM

Publisher: name: Academic Journal of Civil Engineering
Year: 2022

description: Due to socio-economic development and climate change, geological disasters such as landslides and floods are expected to increase. In mountainous areas, these geohazards are often caused by heavy storms. Natural disasters such as debris flows (DF) and rockfalls usually occur within natural terrain areas. Since urbanization in many cities, hills have always been incorporated into residential areas. Therefore, debris flow poses a risk to infrastructure and human life increasing the need to predict debris flow impacts for vulnerability and risk assessment. Our general approach proposes debris flow modeling that can derive its impact on the structure where previous model is used to simulate the interaction of debris with structures. The objective of our current work is to perform a parametric study to analyze the effects of REV porosity, ground-particle fi fluid density on debris flow characteristics consequently affecting the impact force on the structure.

description: We present custom-processed ultraviolet, optical, and near-infrared photometry for the REsolved Spectroscopy of a Local VolumE (RESOLVE) survey, a volume-limited census of stellar, gas, and dynamical mass within two subvolumes of the nearby universe (RESOLVE-A and RESOLVE-B). RESOLVE is complete down to baryonic mass 10 ~ 9.1 9.3 - M, probing the upper end of the dwarf galaxy regime. In contrast to standard pipeline photometry (e.g., SDSS), our photometry uses optimal background subtraction, avoids suppressing color gradients, and employs multiple flux extrapolation routines to estimate systematic errors. With these improvements, we measure brighter magnitudes, larger radii, bluer colors, and a real increase in scatter around the red sequence. Combining stellar mass estimates based on our optimized photometry with the nearly complete H I mass census for RESOLVE-A, we create new z = 0 volume-limited calibrations of the photometric gas fractions (PGF) technique, which predicts gas-to-stellar mass ratios (G/S) from galaxy colors and optional additional parameters. We analyze G/S-color residuals versus potential third parameters, finding that axial ratio is the best independent and physically meaningful third parameter. We define a “modified color” from planar fits to G/S as a function of both color and axial ratio. In the complete galaxy population, upper limits on G/S bias linear and planar fits. We therefore model the entire PGF probability density field, enabling iterative statistical modeling of upper limits and prediction of full G/S probability distributions for individual galaxies. These distributions have two-component structure in the red color regime. Finally, we use the RESOLVE-B 21 cm census to test several PGF calibrations, finding that most systematically under- or overestimate gas masses, but the full probability density method performs well.

description: Ce papier présente la caractérisation expérimentale du comportement thermique et mécanique résiduel des poutres en béton armé (BA) exposées à différentes températures (20°C, 620°C, 770°C, 1100°C). Après exposition à un niveau de température voulu, les poutres ont été ensuite refroidies jusqu’à la température ambiante. Certaines poutres préchauffées-refroidies ont été renforcées avec le composite mortier/textiles en carbone (TRC). Les résistances mécaniques résiduelles des poutres préchauffées, avec/sans renforcement par TRC, ont été ensuite caractérisées par le biais d’un essai de flexion de 4 points. Les résultats obtenus mettent en évidence l’effet de haute température sur le comportement thermique et mécanique résiduel des poutres. Ce papier présente aussi la contribution du TRC au comportement résiduel des poutres.

description: Scintillation characteristics of undoped and Cu+-doped lithium tetraborate Li2B4O7 (LTB) were studied including optical transmittance, photoluminescence, radioluminescence for X- and gamma-rays, alpha/gamma ratio, and decay kinetics. The total time-integrated LYs in undoped and Cu+-doped LTB for X-rays are ~600 and ~760 ph/MeV (photons/MeV), respectively. The decay kinetics in undoped and Cu+-doped LTB are similar to each other. Typical decay spectra for pulsed X-rays can be fitted with four exponentials: for fast (t1~0.8 ns, t2~25-50 ns), medium (t3~300-400 ns), and slow (t4~20-30 ms) components. The slow component occupies about 60% of the total LY, while the fast ones less than 10%. The 10-90% rise time was 163 ps. The alpha/gamma ratio was 0.18 for external 241Am alpha-rays. The obtained increase in LY due to Cu+ doping remains modest. The Cu+-induced emission contains both fast and slow components, requiring further studies of the emission mechanism to explain the fast component.

description: While electron-phonon coupling (EPC) is crucial for Cooper pairing in conventional superconductors, its role in high-$T_c$ superconducting cuprates is debated. Using resonant inelastic x-ray scattering at the oxygen $K$-edge, we studied the EPC in Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+δ}$ (Bi2212) and Nd$_{1+x}$Ba$_{2-x}$Cu$_3$O$_{7-δ}$ (NBCO) at different doping levels ranging from heavily underdoped ($p =0.07$) to overdoped ($p=0.21$). We analyze the data with a localized Lang-Firsov model that allows for the coherent excitations of two phonon modes. While electronic band dispersion effects are non-negligible, we are able to perform a study of the relative values of EPC matrix elements in these cuprate families. In the case of NBCO, the choice of the excitation energy allows us to disentangle modes related to the CuO$_3$ chains and the CuO$_2$ planes. Combining the results from the two families, we find the EPC strength decreases with doping at $\mathbf{q_\parallel}=(-0.25, 0)$ r.l.u., but has a non-monotonic trend as a function of doping at smaller momenta. This behavior is attributed to the screening effect of charge carriers. We also find that the phonon intensity is enhanced in the vicinity of the charge-density-wave (CDW) excitations while the extracted EPC strength appears to be less sensitive to their proximity. By performing a comparative study of two cuprate families, we are able to identify general trends in the EPC for the cuprates and provide experimental input to theories invoking a synergistic role for this interaction in $d$-wave pairing.

description: Dans le cadre de l’Unité d’Enseignement « bureau d’étude » du Master génie civil de l’Université Grenoble Alpes, cette étude a eu comme objectif l’analyse de la performance thermique d’une construction en brique de terre comprimée de 52 m2 ainsi que la proposition de solutions pour réduire le besoin de chauffage et améliorer le confort thermique pour le personnel qui utilise le bâtiment comme espace de travail. Les résultats obtenus ont permis de conclure que, d’entre les solutions modélisées, celle qui impacte le plus le besoin de chauffage et la température maximale à l'intérieur du bâtiment est l’isolation de la toiture par l’extérieur avec une couche de 20 cm de chaux chanvre. Cette proposition couplée avec un doublage du mur permet d’arriver à une réduction de plus de 50% du besoin de chauffage et de presque 3°C de la température maximale à l’intérieur, tout en gardant les caractéristiques extérieures de la maison en terre.

description: We search for electron anti-neutrinos ($\overline{\nu}_e$) from long and short-duration gamma-ray bursts~(GRBs) using data taken by the KamLAND detector from August 2002 to June 2013. No statistically significant excess over the background level is found. We place the tightest upper limits on $\overline{\nu}_e$ fluence from GRBs below 7 MeV and place first constraints on the relation between $\overline{\nu}_e$ luminosity and effective temperature.
Retrait chimique et endogène de mortiers alcali-activés

description: Dans cet article, les travaux visent à étudier l'influence de la nature du précurseur (métakaolin, cendres volantes de charbon et laitier de haut fourneau granulé broyé) sur les retraits chimique et endogène de pâtes et mortier alcali-activés à un âge précoce. Deux activateurs (sodium, silicate de sodium) ont été utilisés. Les résultats montrent que le retrait dépend principalement du type de liant utilisé. Les différents mélanges de pâte testés présentent des cinétiques de retrait chimique assez différentes. Les mélanges à base de laitier activé par une solution alcaline ne montrent pas la même tendance que la pâte OPC de référence, présentant un gonflement précoce. Le retrait chimique de la pâte OPC est globalement le plus élevé. Les mortiers activés par les alcalis préparés avec du métakaolin subissent un retrait chimique plus élevé que ceux utilisant des cendres volantes. Le mortier à base de métakaolin a un retrait endogène inférieur à celui du mortier OPC de référence, mais il a également été observé qu'il augmentait avec le E/L. Avec des rapports E/L comparables, le retrait endogène des mortiers de laitier activé par une solution alcaline s'est révélé plus important. La composition minéralogique du précurseur, le rapport E/L, la surface spécifique et le rapport massique SiO2/Na2O de la solution alcaline sont autant de paramètres importants pour obtenir des matériaux cimentaires alcali-activés avec des caractéristiques de constructibilité appropriées.
