Hot Stars: Old-Fashioned or Trendy?

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Spectroscopic analyses with the intention of the interpretation of the UV-spectra of the brightest stars as individuals - supernovae - or as components of star-forming regions - massive O stars - provide a powerful tool with great astrophysical potential for the determination of extragalactic distances and of the chemical composition of star-forming galaxies even at high redshifts. The perspectives of already initiated work with the new generation of tools for quantitative UV-spectroscopy of Hot Stars that have been developed during the last two decades are presented and the status of the continuing effort to construct corresponding models for Hot Star atmospheres is reviewed. Because the physics of the atmospheres of Hot Stars are strongly affected by velocity expansion dominating the spectra at all wavelength ranges, hydrodynamic model atmospheres for O-type stars and explosion models for Supernovae of Type Ia are necessary as basis for the synthesis and analysis of the spectra. It is shown that stellar parameters, abundances and stellar wind properties can be determined by the methods of spectral diagnostics already developed. Additionally, it will be demonstrated that models and synthetic spectra of Type Ia Supernovae of required quality are already available that make it possible to tackle the question of whether Supernovae Ia are standard candles in a cosmological sense and the SN-luminosity distances thus indicate accelerated expansion of the universe.

description: This paper examines the impact of mobile phones on farmers’ marketing decisions (spatial arbitrage, buyer’s choice, frequency of selling, and size of transaction) and prices they receive based on household and village level information collected from rural Ethiopia. It explains the reason for the weak impact of mobile phones observed in this study as well as in previous studies in Africa. We argue that even though many farmers participate in information searching, the number of farmers who use mobile phones for information searching is very small. The reason for such low use of mobile phones for information searching seems lack of quality information that can be accessed through mobile phones.
Timing and Synchronization of the DUNE Neutrino Detector

description: The DUNE neutrino experiment far detector has a fiducial mass of 40 kt. The O(1 M) readout channels are distributed over the 4 x 10kt modules and need to be synchronized to O( 10 ns ) with a reliable, simple, affordable system. For the majority of channels a simple DC-balanced protocol is used, with clock and synchronization information encoded on the same fibre. The remaining channels use "White Rabbit" (IEEE-1588). Small scale tests show a timing jitter of <100 ps. The DUNE timing system has been successfully prototyped at the ProtoDUNE-SP detector at CERN.

Long-term soft and hard X-ray investigation of the colliding wind WN+O binary WR 25

description: We investigated the long-term behaviour in X-rays of the colliding wind binary WR 25, using archival data obtained with Suzaku, Swift, XMM-Newton, and NuSTAR spanning over ~16 years. Our analysis reveals phase-locked variations repeating consistently over many consecutive orbits, in agreement with an X-ray emission fully explained by thermal emission from the colliding winds in the 208-d orbit. We report on a significant deviation of the X-ray flux with respect to the 1/D trend (expected for adiabatic shocked winds) close to periastron passage. The absence of a drop in post-shock plasma temperature close to periastron suggests this break in trend cannot be explained in terms of reduced pre-shock velocities in this part of the orbit. Finally, NuSTAR data reveal a lack of hard X-ray emission (above 10.0 keV) above the background level. Upper limits on a putative non-thermal emission strongly suggest that the sensitivity of present hard X-ray observatories is not sufficient to detect non-thermal emission from massive binaries above 10 keV, unless the wind kinetic power is large enough to significantly feed particle acceleration in the wind-wind interaction.

description: Who receives aid and how much he or she receives are questions of central importance for any well-functioning social protection program. We investigate community-based processes for allocating aid within Ethiopia’s Productive Safety Net Program. We document local governments’ aid via the federally mandated uniform per capita payment schedule, communities distribute aid based on locally determined equivalence scales. Rather than equalizing consumption, it appears that local communities allocate aid based on an earnings potential equivalence scale by assigning higher payments to cohorts that have lower wage earnings potential (e.g., teenage girls vs. teenage boys, adult women vs. adult men, elderly vs. working age adults). The decentralized implementation approach reduces head count poverty more than if communities followed central implementation mandates. However, poverty gap and poverty gap squared measures would be lower under central implementation mandates. The choice of distribution rules at the intensive margin does not materially affect poverty measures, suggesting that targeting efforts might be best focused on eligibility at the extensive margin.

The effective Lagrangian description of the FCNC interactions is used. A numerical analysis is performed for some next linear colliders. CP violating asymmetries for the number of $q$ and $\bar{q}$ quarks are obtained to be of order $10^{-2}-10^{-3}$ depending on the CM energy.

description: We report on the catastrophic disintegration of P/2016 G1 (PANSTARRS), an active asteroid, in April 2016. Deep images over three months show that object is constituted by a central concentration of fragments surrounded by an elongated coma, and presents previously unreported sharp arc-like and a narrow linear features. The morphology and evolution of these characteristics independently point toward a brief event on 2016 March 6. The arc and the linear feature can be reproduced by large particles on a ring, moving at ~2.5 m/s. The expansion of the ring defines a cone with a ~40deg half-opening. We propose that G1 was hit by a small object which caused its (partial or total) disruption, and that the ring corresponds to large fragments ejected during the final stages of the crater formation.}

description: We investigate quantum chromodynamics with two colors at nonvanishing density using Dyson-Schwinger equations. Lattice methods do not have a complex action problem in this theory. Thus, we can benchmark our results and the effect of truncations directly by comparing with the corresponding lattice results. We do so for the gluon propagator, the chiral condensate, and the quark number density and test variations of the employed truncation to improve the agreement. Finally, we compare the effect of a truncation on the chiral and confinement/deconfinement transitions in the phase diagrams of QCD and QCD with the gauge groups $SU(2)$ and $G_2$.

description: The EU and the US launched negotiations on a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) in July 2013. Among the TTIP aims, there are negotiable terms under which the EU would import more genetically modified (GM) products and change its labeling regulations on GM Organisms (GMOs). This paper discusses a trade agreement of agricultural products between two countries, with different GM regulatory regimes from a political economy perspective. We find the negotiation equilibrium of the GMO Trade Agreement and compare it with a stricter trade policy. We find that if the trade agreement leads to a lenient GM regulation, lobbying intensifies. However, this effect is moderated if there are exports of non-GM products.

description: Twisted trilayer graphene (TLG) may be the simplest realistic system so far, which has flat bands with nontrivial topology. Here, we give a detailed calculation about its band structures and the band topology, i.e. valley Chern number of the nearly flat bands, with the continuum model. With realistic parameters, the magic angle of twisted TLG is about 1.12$^{\circ}$, at which two nearly flat bands appears. Unlike the twisted bilayer graphene, a small twist angle can induce a tiny gap at all the Dirac points, which can be enlarged further by a perpendicular electric field. The valley Chern numbers of the two nearly flat bands in the twisted TLG depends on the twist angle $θ$ and the perpendicular electric field $E_\perp$. Considering its topological flat bands, the twisted TLG should be an ideal experimental platform to study the strongly correlated physics in topologically nontrivial flat band systems. And, due to its reduced symmetry, the correlated states in twisted TLG should be quite different from that in twisted bilayer graphene and twisted double bilayer graphene.

We study the background-independent osp(1|32,R) cubic matrix model action expressed in terms of representations of the Lorentz groups SO(10,2) and SO(10,1). We explore further the 11-dimensional case and compute an effective action for the BFSS-like degrees of freedom. We find the usual BFSS action with additional terms incorporating couplings to transverse 5-branes, as well as a mass-term and an infinite tower of higher-order interactions.

description: Microplastic pollution is possibly one of the greatest environmental problems facing our lives. Current state-of-the-art systems for measurement and analysis of microplastics are bulky, mainly non-portable and expensive. In search of reliable, low-cost and disposable devices for the detection of microplastic particles in beverage samples, I aim to design and fabricate a compact system based on a multimodal optofluidic chip combining different optical measurement techniques such as diffuse reflection spectroscopy, scattering and Raman spectroscopy. My work is situated in the framework of the EU-funded ITN project with acronym MONPLAS (The training of early-stage researchers for the development of technologies to MONitor concentrations of micro and nanoPLAStics in water for their presence, uptake and threat to animal and human life). The detection concerns the identification of the present plastic types together with their respective concentrations. A proof of concept set-up of the developed system demonstrating the online monitoring of microplastic particles in water samples is the major expected accomplishment of this project.
Transport Signatures of Radial Rashba Spin-Orbit Coupling at Ferromagnet/Superconductor Interfaces
Creators: name: Costa, Andreas
name: Fabian, Jaroslav
Publisher: name: Universität Regensburg
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: 530 Physik

description: Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) emerging at the interfaces of superconducting magnetic tunnel junctions is at the heart of multiple unprecedented physical phenomena, covering triplet proximity effects induced by unconventional (spin-flip) Andreev reflections, giant transport magnetoansiotropies, sizable tunneling anomalous Hall effects, and electrically controlled current-reversing 0--π(-like) transitions in Josephson contacts. Recent first-principles calculations proposed that the Rashba spin-orbit fields in twisted graphene/transition-metal dichalcogenide and van-der-Waals multilayers can -- owing to broken mirror symmetries -- exhibit an unconventional radial component (with spin parallel to the electron's momentum), which can be quantified by the Rashba angle θR. We theoretically explore the ramifications of radial Rashba SOC at the interfaces of vertical ferromagnet/superconductor tunnel junctions with a focus on the magnetoanisotropies of the tunneling and tunneling-anomalous-Hall-effect conductances. Our results demonstrate that θR can be experimentally extracted from respective magnetization-angle shifts, providing a practical way to probe the radial Rashba SOC induced by twisted multilayers that are placed as tunneling barrier between ferromagnetic and superconducting electrodes.

Finite size and cut-off effects on the Roberge-Weiss transition in $N_\text{f}=2$ QCD with Staggered fermions

description: In the absence of a genuine solution to the sign problem, lattice studies at imaginary quark chemical potential are an important tool to constrain the QCD phase diagram. We calculate the values of the tricritical quark masses in the Roberge-Weiss plane, $μ=\imathπT/3$, which separate mass regions with chiral and deconfinement phase transitions from the intermediate region, for QCD with $N_\text{f}=2$ unimproved staggered quarks on $N_τ=6$ lattices. A quantitative measure for the quality of finite size scaling plots is developed, which significantly reduces the subjective judgement required for fitting. We observe that larger aspect ratios are necessary to unambiguously determine the order of the transition than at $μ=0$. Comparing with previous results from $N_τ=4$ we find a $\sim50$% reduction in the light tricritical pion mass. The heavy tricritical pion mass stays roughly the same, but is too heavy to be resolved on $N_τ=6$ lattices and thus equally afflicted with cut-off effects. Further comparison with other discretizations suggests that current cut-off effects on the light critical masses are likely to be larger than $\sim100$%, implying a drastic shrinking of the chiral first-order region to possibly zero.

description: It has been known for many years that there is a CP-conserving component for the decay mode K_L -> pi0 e+e- and that its magnitude can be obtained from a measurement of the amplitudes in the K_L -> pi0 gamma gamma decay mode. We point out that the usual description of the latter in terms of a single parameter, a_V, is not sufficient to extract the former in a model independent manner. We further show that there exist known physics contributions to K_L -> pi0 gamma gamma that cannot be described in terms of the single parameter a_V. We conclude that a model independent analysis requires the experimental extraction of three parameters.

description: Thermal conductivity of nanocrystalline and ultra-nanocrystalline films is analyzed with effective medium theory (EMT) models. The existing EMT models use the spherical inclusion approximation. Although this approximation works quite well it is inconsistent, mostly with respect to the maximal packing of 74{\%}, which may be unrealistic for polycrystalline films. To check the consistency of these models we devise an EMT model with arbitrarily shaped inclusions. We pick the EMT model with cubic inclusions and we compare its results with the results of the EMT model with spherical inclusions. It is found a very good agreement between both calculations. This agreement is explained by general geometrical arguments. We further employ these models to analyze thermal conductivity of nanocrystalline and ultra-nanocrystalline diamond films. It is noticed that the effective conductivity is strongly affected not only by the boundary Kapitza resistance but also by intra-grain scattering for grain sizes below 100 nm. Generally, both intra-grain conductivity and Kapitza resistance increase with grain size. However, the effect of Kapitza resistance increase is negligible due to the geometrical factor accompanying Kapitza resistance contribution to the effective conductivity.

description: Precise calorimetric reconstruction of 5-50 MeV electrons in liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs) will enable the study of astrophysical neutrinos in DUNE and could enhance the physics reach of oscillation analyses. Liquid argon scintillation light has the potential to improve energy reconstruction for low-energy electrons over charge-based measurements alone. Here we demonstrate light-augmented calorimetry for low-energy electrons in a single-phase LArTPC using a sample of Michel electrons from decays of stopping cosmic muons in the LArIAT experiment at Fermilab. Michel electron energy spectra are reconstructed using both a traditional charge-based approach as well as a more holistic approach that incorporates both charge and light. A maximum-likelihood fitter, using LArIAT's well-tuned simulation, is developed for combining these quantities to achieve optimal energy resolution. A sample of isolated electrons is simulated to better determine the energy resolution expected for astrophysical electron-neutrino charged-current interaction final states. In LArIAT, which has very low wire noise and an average light yield of 18 pe/MeV, an energy resolution of $σ/E \simeq 9.3\%/\sqrt{E} \oplus 1.3\%$ is achieved. Samples are then generated with varying wire noise levels and light yields to gauge the impact of light-augmented calorimetry in larger LArTPCs. At a charge-readout signal-to-noise of S/N $\simeq$ 30, for example, the energy resolution for electrons below 40 MeV is improved by $\approx$ 10%, $\approx$ 20%, and $\approx$ 40% over charge-only calorimetry for average light yields of 10 pe/MeV, 20 pe/MeV, and 100 pe/MeV, respectively.

description: We conjecture that the end point of bulk closed string tachyon decay at any non-zero coupling, is the annihilation of space time by Witten's bubble of nothing, resulting in a topological phase of the theory. In support of this we present a variety of situations in which there is a correspondence between the existence of perturbative tachyons in one regime and the semi-classical annihilation of space-time. Our discussion will include many recently investigated scenarios in string theory including Scherk-Schwarz compactifications, Melvin magnetic backgrounds, and noncompact orbifolds. We use this conjecture to investigate a possible web of dualities relating the eleven-dimensional Fabinger-Horava background with nonsupersymmetric string theories. Along the way we point out where our conjecture resolves some of the puzzles associated with bulk closed string tachyon condensation.

description: Η επιστήμη της Γεωστατιστικής αποτελεί ένα από τα ισχυρότερα εργαλεία ανάλυσης και πρόβλεψης χωρικών, χρονικών και χωροχρονικών δεδομένων γεωλογικού ενδιαφέροντος ακόμη και σε περιπτώσεις όπου οι μετρήσεις πεδίου είναι περιορισμένες. Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία, εστιάζει στην ανάλυση ρυπαντών υπόγειων υδροφορέων σε περιοχή μεταλλευτικού ενδιαφέροντος, με τη χρήση γεωστατιστικών μεθόδων. Συγκεκριμένα, η εργασία αφορά δεδομένα που έχουν συλλεχθεί από την Ελληνική Αρχή Γεωλογικών και Μεταλλευτικών Ερευνών (Ε.Α.Γ.Μ.Ε) και αφορούν συγκεντρώσεις μαγνησίου σε υπόγεια υδατικά συστήματα στην περιοχής της ανατολικής Στερεάς Ελλάδας, με έμφαση στις περιοχές όπου απαντώνται τα μεταλλεία Αγ. Ιωάννη, Νησιού, Αγ. Άννας και Πέρα Λάκκου.
Εισαγωγικά, παρέχεται μια πλήρης περιγραφή του γεωλογικού και υδρογεωλογικού υπο- βάθρου της υπό μελέτη περιοχής, ενώ επίσης αναλύονται κάποια σημαντικά χαρακτηριστικά του νερού και της επίδρασης που έχει σε αυτό το μαγνήσιο. Στη συνέχεια, παρουσιάζονται οι θεωρητικές αρχές της γεωστατιστικής που εφαρμόστηκαν κατά το στάδιο της επεξεργασίας των δεδομένων. Σε μεταγενέστερο στάδιο, πραγματοποιήθηκε μια πρωταρχική ανάλυση των δεδομένων με σκοπό να ελεγχθεί η κανονικότητα της κατανομής τους και η τάση που ορίζει το πεδίο. Ακολούθως, πραγματοποιήθηκε η βαριογραφική ανάλυση μέσω της οποίας αντλήθηκαν σημαντικά στοιχεία για την χωρική εξάρτηση μεταξύ των δεδομένων. Στη συνέχεια, κατασκευάστηκαν οι χάρτες χωρικής εκτίμησης της συγκέντρωσης μαγνησίου μέσω της μεθόδου Κανονικού Kriging, ενώ δημιουργήθηκαν επίσης χάρτες ελέγχου υπέρβασης του ασφαλούς ορίου συγκέντρωσης μαγνησίου στο νερό με τη βοήθεια της μεθόδου Indicator Kriging. Στο τελικό στάδιο της επεξεργασίας, για τις δύο προαναφερθείσες μεθόδους Kriging πραγματοποιήθηκε έλεγχος για την αξιοπιστία των εκτιμήσεων. Για το Κανονικό Kriging, χρησιμοποιήθηκε η μέθοδος διασταυρωμένης επαλήθευσης Leave One Out Cross Validation και για το Indicator, η μέθοδος του Πίνακα Σύγχυσης. Τέλος, παρουσιάζονται τα συμπεράσματα που προκύπτουν από τα αποτελέσματα της επεξεργασίας καθώς και προτάσεις για μελλοντική έρευνα.

description: We calculate the density P(τ) of the eigenvalues of the Wigner-Smith time delay matrix for two-dimensional rectangular and circular billiards with one opening. For long times, the density of these so-called "proper delay times" decays algebraically, in contradistinction to chaotic quantum billiards for which P(τ) exhibits a long-time cut-off.

description: Localization of mobile nodes in a wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is an active area of research. In this paper, we present a novel RSSI based localization algorithm for 802.15.4 (ZigBee) based WSNs. We propose and implement a novel range based localization algorithm to minimize cross technology interference operating in the same band. The goal is to minimize the mean square error of the localization algorithm. Hardware implementation of the algorithm is in agreement with ideal (no interference) simulation results where an accuracy of less than 0.5m has been achieved.

description: We investigate the strong-field dynamics of a paramagnetic two-band Mott insulator using real-time dynamical mean-field theory. A dielectric breakdown occurs due to many-body Landau-Zener tunnelling, with a threshold field determined by the gap. For a large range of fields, however, we predict that the tunnelling currents are small enough to allow the observation of field-induced localization of electrons, which becomes most strikingly evident in atomic-like local spin multiplets determined by the Hund's coupling $J$. This field-induced localization might provide a way of measuring the value of $J$ in correlated materials. It should be observable in transition metal oxides using time-resolved photo-emission spectroscopy or optical measurements in the presence of strong THz field transients.

Prospects for detecting neutral hydrogen using 21cm radiation from large scale structure at high redshifts

description: We estimate the signal from large scale structure at high redshifts in redshifted 21cm line. We focus on z ~ 3 and the LCDM cosmology. We assume that neutral hydrogen is to be found only in galaxies, and normalise the total content to the density parameter of neutral hydrogen in damped Lyman alpha absorption systems (DLAS). We find that the rms fluctuations due to the large scale distribution of galaxies is very small and cannot be observed at angular scales probed by present day telescopes. We have used the sensitivity of the Giant meter-wave Radio Telescope (GMRT) for comparison. We find that observations stretching over 1000hours will be required for a 3 sigma detection of such objects.

Post-Newtonian limit of scalar-torsion theories of gravity as analogue to scalar-curvature theories

description: We consider a recently proposed class of extended teleparallel theories of gravity, which entail a scalar field which is non-minimally coupled to the torsion of a flat, metric-compatible connection. This class of scalar-torsion theories of gravity is constructed in analogy to and as a direct extension of the well-studied class of scalar-curvature gravity theories, and has various common features, such as the conformal frame freedom. For this class we determine the parametrized post-Newtonian limit, both for a massive and a massless scalar field. In the massive case, we determine the effective gravitational constant and the post-Newtonian parameter $γ$, both of which depend on the distance between the gravitating and test masses. In the massless case, we calculate the full set of parameters and find that only $γ$ and $β$ potentially deviate from their general relativity values. In particular, we find that for a minimally coupled scalar field the theory becomes indistinguishable from general relativity at this level of the post-Newtonian approximation.
