title: From Walter Scott to Cormac McCarthy
title: Scottish Romanticism and the novel from the American South

description: This thesis argues for the previously underemphasized influence of
      Scottish Romantic-era writing on the novel from the US South,
      demonstrating the formative impact of writers such as Walter Scott and
      James Hogg on the development of Southern writing, but also the ways in
      which Southern writers critique and revise this heritage. The thesis
      illustrates the significance of transatlantic connections between regional
      sections of nation-states, links which complicate conventional
      centre-periphery models of cultural exchange. My theoretical approach
      draws on contemporary theories of materiality in the work of Manuel
      Delanda and Tim Ingold, which I use to emphasize the significance of
      objects and material processes in the representation of temporality in the
      literature of the Scottish Romantic and Southern US traditions. I analyse
      Scottish Romanticism’s emphasis on uneven historical transitions as a
      method of revising Scottish Enlightenment Conjectural history. This mode
      of critiquing progressive narratives of historical development is also a
      structuring principle in the Southern novel, where it is used to
      articulate a disjunctive regional temporality in opposition to
      teleological narratives of nation-state history.

      Chapter one analyses the work of Walter Scott and examines key Waverley
      novels in terms of those aspects which would be most significant for
      Southern US writing: the motif of the border and depictions of
      primitivism. My second chapter considers James Hogg and Edgar Allan Poe as
      related writers of Gothic short fiction in a transatlantic literary scene
      dominated by Scott’s legacy and the Scottish periodicals. The third
      chapter analyses Mark Twain’s travel writing and three of his novels to
      explore his response to Scottish Romanticism in his depictions of Southern
      domestic objects. Chapter four examines the writing of William Faulkner
      and his portrayals of Scottish planter dynasties in his fictional
      Mississippi. My final chapter analyses Cormac McCarthy’s fiction and his
      violent revisions of Scott’s border narratives.

description: Recent derivations of Cardy-like formulae in higher dimensional field theories have opened up a way of computing, via AdS/CFT, universal contributions to black hole entropy from gravitational Chern-Simons terms. Based on the manifestly covariant formulation of the differential Noether charge for Chern-Simons terms proposed in arXiv:1407.6364, we compute the entropy and asymptotic charges for the rotating charged AdS black holes in higher dimensions at leading order of the fluid/gravity derivative expansion in the Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons system. This gives a result that exactly matches the field theory predictions from Cardy-like formulae.

Health Inequity in the context of Cardiovascular Disease and COVID-19: A Scoping Review
Creators: name: Helms, Alyson
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Background:
The COVID-19 pandemic has and continues to impact millions of Americans with pre-existing comorbidities, including Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) impact health outcomes in individuals with COVID-19 and CVD. CVD is the leading cause of death in the United States and COVID-19 infection exacerbate negative CVD health outcomes. 
Purpose: The purpose of this scoping review was to describe how SDOH impact health equity in individuals with CVD and COVID-19 infections, and to describe similar SDOH impacts on health equity using a Syndemic Theory lens.
Methods: A systematic scoping review was conducted of literature published between 2016 and 2020 that included findings on SDOH impacts on health outcomes for CVD and COVID-19 separately. Two databases were searched (PubMed and CINAHL). Findings were organized into SDOH themes and similarities between SDOH impact on CVD and COVID-19 infection discussed through a Syndemic Theory lens. 
Results: Eleven studies were included in the review. Ten studies were conducted in the United States, and one conducted in Spain. Three SDOH themes that impact health inequity were identified: financial stability, education level, and environment. These themes were linked to experiences of racism. Black and Latino individuals have worse health outcomes for both CVD and COVID-19. 
Conclusion: Future studies should focus on impacts of racism on health in the United States, as racism should be included in the SDOH. In order for chronic and communicable diseases to be reduced in populations, it is essential to find the most vulnerable populations and advocate for equity.

description: The distances of pulsating stars, in particular Cepheids, are commonly measured using the parallax of pulsation technique. The different versions of this technique combine measurements of the linear diameter variation (from spectroscopy) and the angular diameter variation (from photometry or interferometry) amplitudes, to retrieve the distance in a quasi-geometrical way. However, the linear diameter amplitude is directly proportional to the projection factor (hereafter p-factor), which is used to convert spectroscopic radial velocities (i.e., disk integrated) into pulsating (i.e., photospheric) velocities. The value of the p-factor and its possible dependence on the pulsation period are still widely debated. Our goal is to measure an observational value of the p-factor of the type-II Cepheid kappa Pavonis, whose parallax was measured with an accuracy of 5% using HST/FGS. We used this parallax as a starting point to derive the p-factor of kappa Pav, using the SPIPS technique, which is a robust version of the parallax-of-pulsation method that employs radial velocity, interferometric and photometric data. We applied this technique to a combination of new VLTI/PIONIER optical interferometric angular diameters, new CORALIE and HARPS radial velocities, as well as multi-colour photometry and radial velocities from the literature. We obtain a value of p = 1.26 +/- 0.07 for the p-factor of kappa Pav. This result agrees with several of the recently derived Period-p-factor relationships from the literature, as well as previous observational determinations for Cepheids. Individual estimates of the p-factor are fundamental to calibrating the parallax of pulsation distances of Cepheids. Together with previous observational estimates, the projection factor we obtain points to a weak dependence of the p-factor on period.

description: We show that interferometry can be applied to study irregular, rapidly rotating structures, as are expected in the turbulent accretion flow near a black hole. Specifically, we analyze the lagged covariance between interferometric baselines of similar lengths but slightly different orientations. For a flow viewed close to face-on, we demonstrate that the peak in the lagged covariance indicates the direction and angular velocity of the emission pattern from the flow. Even for moderately inclined flows, the covariance robustly estimates the flow direction, although the estimated angular velocity can be significantly biased. Importantly, measuring the direction of the flow as clockwise or counterclockwise on the sky breaks a degeneracy in accretion disk inclinations when analyzing time-averaged images alone. We explore the potential efficacy of our technique using three-dimensional, general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations, and we highlight several baseline pairs for the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) that are well-suited to this application. These results indicate that the EHT may be capable of estimating the direction and angular velocity of the emitting material near Sagittarius A*, and they suggest that a rotating flow may even be utilized to improve imaging capabilities.

description: Context. In recent years, Galactic archaeology has become a particularly vibrant field of astronomy, with its main focus set on the oldest stars of our Galaxy. In most cases, these stars have been identified as the most metal-poor. However, the struggle to find these ancient fossils has produced an important bias in the observations - in particular, the intermediate metal-poor stars (-2.5 < [Fe/H] <-1.5) have been frequently overlooked. The missing information has consequences for the precise study of the chemical enrichment of our Galaxy, in particular for what concerns neutron capture elements and it will be only partially covered by future multi object spectroscopic surveys such as WEAVE and 4MOST. Aims. Measuring at Intermediate Metallicity Neutron Capture Elements (MINCE) is gathering the first high-quality spectra (high signal-to-noise ratio, S/N, and high resolution) for several hundreds of bright and metal-poor stars, mainly located in our Galactic halo. Methods. We compiled our selection mainly on the basis of Gaia data and determined the stellar atmospheres of our sample and the chemical abundances of each star. Results. In this paper, we present the first sample of 59 spectra of 46 stars. We measured the radial velocities and computed the Galactic orbits for all stars. We found that 8 stars belong to the thin disc, 15 to disrupted satellites, and the remaining cannot be associated to the mentioned structures, and we call them halo stars. For 33 of these stars, we provide abundances for the elements up to zinc. We also show the chemical evolution results for eleven chemical elements, based on recent models. Conclusions. Our observational strategy of using multiple telescopes and spectrographs to acquire high S/N and high-resolution spectra for intermediate-metallicity stars has proven to be very efficient, since the present sample was acquired over only about one year of observations. Finally, our target selection strategy, after an initial adjustment, proved satisfactory for our purposes.

description: This article addresses the question: What is the explanatory power of the theoretical constructs ‘parenting style’ and ‘parent-child relationship’ for understanding violence among teenage girls? Using a sequential mixed-methods design, we combined data from different sources (interviews and questionnaires) analysed by different methods (grounded theory and correspondence analysis). Within this mixed-methods design, we compared the results of the qualitative analysis of interviews with violence-orientated girls with the results of the correspondence analysis of the cross-sectional survey (n= 243, mean age= 15.2, SD = 1,91). There is a strong relationship between the form of violence applied by the girls and the characteristics of the family dynamics. The utilization of different theoretical constructs (i.e., parenting style and parent-child relationship) reveals these dynamics and enables theoretical reflection on this subject. Zusammenfassung Im Mittelpunkt dieses Artikels steht die Frage nach dem Erklärungsgehalt der theoretischen Konstrukte Erziehungsverhalten und Beziehungsdynamik zwischen Eltern und Heranwachsenden für die Gewaltentwicklung weiblicher Jugendlicher. Über ein sequenzielles mixed-methods-Design werden unterschiedliche Datenquellen (Interviews und Fragebogen) und Analysemethoden (grounded theory und Korrespondenzanalyse)verbunden. Im Rahmen des gewählten mixedmethods-Designs werden die Ergebnisse aus der Analyse von Interviews mit gewaltorientierten Mädchen mit den korrespondenzanalytischen Einsichten aus einer Fragebogenstudie verglichen (n=243, Altersdurchschnitt = 15.2, SD = 1,91). Die Ergebnisse aus den Interviews und den Fragebogendaten zeigen eine hohe Heterogenität in der Art des Zusammenlebens von Familien Gewalt ausübender Mädchen. Es besteht ein starker Zusammenhang zwischen dem individuellen Gewalthandeln der untersuchten Mädchen und der spezifischen Dynamik des familiären Zusammenlebens. Der Einsatz unterschiedlicher theoretischer Konstrukte (Erziehungsverhalten und Beziehungsdynamik zwischen Eltern und Heranwachsenden) macht diese Dynamiken sichtbar und theoretisch reflektierbar.

description: Context. There are known differences between the physical properties of H II and diffuse ionized gas (DIG). However, most of the studied regions in the literature are relatively bright, with log10 L(Hα)[erg s-1] ≳37. Aims. We compiled an extremely faint sample of 390 H II regions with a median Hα luminosity of 34.7 in the flocculent spiral galaxy NGC 300, derived their physical properties in terms of metallicity, density, extinction, and kinematics, and performed a comparative analysis of the properties of the DIG. Methods. We used MUSE data of nine fields in NGC 300, covering a galactocentric distance of zero to ~450 arcsec (~4 projected kpc), including spiral arm and inter-arm regions. We binned the data in dendrogram leaves and extracted all strong nebular emission lines. We identified H II and DIG regions and compared their electron densities, metallicity, extinction, and kinematic properties. We also tested the effectiveness of unsupervised machine-learning algorithms in distinguishing between the H II and DIG regions. Results. The gas density in the H II and DIG regions is close to the low-density limit in all fields. The average velocity dispersion in the DIG is higher than in the H II regions, which can be explained by the DIG being 1.8 kK hotter than H II gas. The DIG manifests a lower ionization parameter than H II gas, and the DIG fractions vary between 15-77%, with strong evidence of a contribution by hot low-mass evolved stars and shocks to the DIG ionization. Most of the DIG is consistent with no extinction and an oxygen metallicity that is indistinguishable from that of the H II gas. We observe a flat metallicity profile in the central region of NGC 300, without a sign of a gradient. Conclusions. The differences between extremely faint H II and DIG regions follow the same trends and correlations as their much brighter cousins. Both types of objects are so heterogeneous, however, that the differences within each class are larger than the differences between the two classes.

Engaging Fathers in Infant and Young Child Feeding: An Assessment of the Acceptability of Community Members and Materials in Promoting Complementary Feeding in the Kaduna State, Nigeria
Creators: name: Imam, Rami
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Optimal Infant and young child feeding (IYCF) is critical for the growth and development of a child, while IYCF practices in Nigeria are insufficient. Currently, it is established that engaging fathers and using various education materials promote positive IYCF practices for infants; however, fathers’ reactions to IYCF recommendations are not well documented. Therefore, this research assessed the Alive & Thrive Nigeria intervention in the Kaduna State, investigating fathers’ reactions to IYCF recommendations, what motivated fathers to act upon these recommendations, and the effectiveness of community members and materials in promoting IYCF practices. Results show that fathers expressed positive sentiments and acceptance of the IYCF recommendations given by Alive & Thrive Nigeria. Their motivation stemmed from their responsibility as head of their household, which Religious and Traditional Leaders reinforced through their messages. In addition, intervention materials (pamphlets, complementary feeding bowls, and posters) and community members (CHEWs and Religious and Traditional Leaders) positively promoted IYCF practices.  Future research should investigate the sustainability of Religious and Traditional Leaders and CHEWS in promoting IYCF across Nigeria, in addition to continuous assessment of materials in promoting IYCF.

In this study, we use Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Circular Dichroism (CD) to explore the properties of the supramolecular duplexes formed by these species. We show that standard Watson-Crick base pair as well as non-standard ones are formed in solution. The duplexes thus formed present marked melting transition temperatures substantially higher than their nucleic acid homologs. Moreover, the presence of a chiral group on the γ-peptidic backbone increases further more this transition temperature, leading to very stable duplexes.

description: Context. Exploring the Galactic chemical evolution and enrichment scenarios with open clusters (OCs) allows us to understand the history of the Milky Way disk. High-resolution spectra of OCs are a crucial tool, as they provide precise chemical information, to combine with precise distances and ages. Aims. The aim of the Stellar Population Astrophysics (SPA) project is to derive homogeneous and accurate comprehensive chemical characterization of a number of poorly studied OCs. Methods. Using the HARPS-N echelle spectrograph at the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG), we obtained high-resolution spectra of giant stars in 18 OCs, 16 of which are chemically characterized for the first time, and two of which are well studied for comparison. The OCs in this sample have ages from a few tens of Myr to 4 Gyr, with a prevalence of young clusters. We already presented the radial velocities and atmospheric parameters for them in a previous SPA paper. Here, we present results for the α-elements O, Mg, Si, Ca and Ti, and the light elements Na and Al, all determined by the equivalent width method. We also measured Li abundance through the synthesis method. Results. We discuss the behaviors of lithium, sodium and aluminum in the context of stellar evolution. For Na and Al, we compare our findings with models to investigate their behaviors as a function of mass, suggesting that Na mixing to the surface might start in masses as low as 2 M·. We study the radial, vertical, and age trends for the measured abundance ratios in a sample that combines our results and recent literature for OCs, finding significant (positive) gradients only for [Mg/Fe] and [Ca/Fe] in all cases. Finally, we compare O and Mg in the combined sample with chemo-dynamical models, finding a good agreement for intermediate-Age and old clusters. There is a sharp increase in the abundance ratios measured among very young clusters (age < 300 Myr), accompanied by a poorer fit with the models for O and Mg, likely related to the inadequacy of traditional model atmospheres and methods in the derivation of atmospheric parameters and abundance ratios for stars of such young ages.
Sakharov's induced gravity on the AdS background: SM scale as inverse mass parameter of the Schwinger-DeWitt expansion

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: One loop quantum effective action W of scalar field 'living' on the AdS background of the Randall-Sundrum model is defined here by now popular way which excludes bulk UV divergencies; thus induced Planck mass is given not by the UV regularization parameter, like in Sakharov's pioneer work, but by the location of the UV-cut of AdS space. Resummation of Schwinger-DeWitt expansion of the action W is performed by the novel 'auxiliary mass' method. The inverse mass squared parameter of this expansion is determined by the location of the 'visible' IR-brane of the RS-model. Obtained expression for induced vacuum energy density coincides with the independently calculated VEV of the stress-energy tensor. Corresponding potential in 4 dimensions possesses a non-trivial extremum which hopefully will permit us to stabilize IR brane and hence to fix the observed small value of mass hierarchy in analogy with the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism. It is demonstrated that naive equating of values of the induced Planck mass and vacuum energy density to those of the RS-model determines otherwise arbitrary constants of the model. A principle of quantum self-consistency generalizing this approach is proposed.

description: Networks representing many complex systems in nature and society share some common structural properties like heterogeneous degree distributions and strong clustering. Recent research on network geometry has shown that those real networks can be adequately modeled as random geometric graphs in hyperbolic spaces. In this paper, we present a computer program to generate such graphs. Besides real-world-like networks, the program can generate random graphs from other well-known graph ensembles, such as the soft configuration model, random geometric graphs on a circle, or Erdős-Rényi random graphs. The simulations show a good match between the expected values of different network structural properties and the corresponding empirical values measured in generated graphs, confirming the accurate behavior of the program.

description: We present weighted quadrature for hierarchical B-splines to address the fast formation of system matrices arising from adaptive isogeometric Galerkin methods with suitably graded hierarchical meshes. By exploiting a local tensor-product structure, we extend the construction of weighted rules from the tensor-product to the hierarchical spline setting. The proposed algorithm has a computational cost proportional to the number of degrees of freedom and advantageous properties with increasing spline degree. To illustrate the performance of the method and confirm the theoretical estimates, a selection of 2D and 3D numerical tests is provided.

description: Using the Green function formalism we calculate a current-induced spin polarization of weakly magnetized graphene with Rashba spin-orbit interaction. In a general case, all components of the current-induced spin polarization are nonzero, contrary to the nonmagnetic limit, where the only nonvanishing component of spin polarization is that in the graphene plane and normal to electric field. When the induced spin polarization is exchange-coupled to the magnetization, it exerts a spin-orbit torque on the latter. Using the Green function method we have derived some analytical formulas for the spin polarization and also determined the corresponding spin-orbit torque components.

description: Determining for the first time the Darwin operator contribution for the non-leptonic charm-quark decays and using new non-perturbative results for the matrix elements of $ΔC=0$ four-quark operators, including eye-contractions, we present a comprehensive study of the lifetimes of charmed mesons and inclusive semileptonic decay rates as well as the ratios, within the framework of the Heavy Quark Expansion (HQE). We find good agreement with experiment for the ratio $τ(D^+)/τ(D^0)$, for the total $D_s^+$-meson decay rate, for the semileptonic rates of all three mesons $D^0$, $D^+$ and $D_s^+$, and for the semileptonic ratio $Γ_{sl}^{D^+}/Γ_{sl}^{D^0}$. The total decay rates of the $D^0$ and $D^+$ mesons are underestimated in our HQE approach and we suspect that this is due to missing higher-order QCD corrections to the free charm quark decay and the Pauli interference contribution. For the $SU(3)_F$ breaking ratios $τ(D_s^+) / τ(D^0) $ and $Γ_{sl}^{D_s^+}/Γ_{sl}^{D^0} $ our predictions lie closer to one than experiment. This might originate from the poor knowledge of the non-perturbative parameters $μ_G^2$, $μ_π^2$ and $ρ_D^3$ in the $D^0$ and $D_s^+$ systems. These parameters could be determined by experimental studies of the moments of inclusive semileptonic $D$ meson decays.

description: L'insicurezza alimentare è diventata negli ultimi anni una sfida di crescente importanza anche nelle società ricche del Nord del Mondo. La necessità di misurare e capire come si manifesta sul territorio è fondamentale per attuare politiche e programmi mirati ad affrontarla. Questo studio si propone di sviluppare e testare un Indice di Accessibilità in grado di misurare l'accesso economico al cibo -a livello territoriale- concentrandosi sugli aspetti nutrizionali e ambientali. L'indice è stato applicato a scala nazionale identificando le aree critiche in cui l'accesso a un cibo sano e sostenibile risulta più problematico. L'approccio spaziale di questa metodologia consente l'attuazione di specifiche politiche "place-based" per migliorare l'accesso a un'alimentazione sana e di qualità. È importante notare la natura multidimensionale di questo fenomeno e la necessità di utilizzare una serie di strumenti aggiuntivi in grado di misurare sia l'accesso economico sia l'accessibilità fisica e sociale al cibo. Ulteriori ricerche, infatti, potrebbero concentrarsi sulla combinazione di questo indicatore con metodi in grado di identificare le diverse dimensioni che concorrono a definire una situazione di (in)sicurezza alimentare.

description: The article discusses the theoretical and practical aspects of the collection of small satellites in dense ordered group in the space. For this purpose each satellite coordinates are set in relation to the main satellite. The problem of control is the formation of the vector of control forces and moments, that provide its movement to a given point, taking into account restrictions. It is assumed that the satellites fly at a relatively close distance from several meters to one hundred meters from each other. The aim of this work is the development and study of optimal control system for collection of the group. At the last moment of control, each satellite must occupy a certain place in the formation relative to other objects in three-dimensional (3D) space. Satellites for such a group are working together on the same problem. Group flights of small and relatively cheap satellites in many cases can reduce the cost of solving problems of Earth observation and study of various geophysical fields in comparison with the use of large satellites. This is facilitated by the possibility of placing sensors on small satellites at a much greater distance from each other than when using one large satellite. In addition, formation flights open up new possibilities for the development of unique scientific and technical programs using space assets.

description: We study the isoperimetric structure of Riemannian manifolds that are asymptotic to cones with non-negative Ricci curvature. Specifically, we generalize to this setting the seminal results of G. Huisken and S.-T. Yau on the existence of a canonical foliation by volume preserving stable constant mean curvature surfaces at infinity of asymptotically flat manifolds as well as the results of the second-named author with S. Brendle and J. Metzger on the isoperimetric structure of asymptotically flat manifolds. We also include an observation on the isoperimetric cone angle of such manifolds. This result is a natural analogue of the positive mass theorem in this setting.
Le politiche del cibo, tra l’urbano ed il locale. Un’analisi del discorso online

description: Il tema delle politiche del cibo ha una presenza di lungo periodo tanto nel dibattito pubblico quanto in quello scientifico. Più recente è invece la riflessione sulla declinazione territoriale delle politiche del cibo, ed in particolare l’analisi delle loro configurazioni a scala micro. Tale riflessione ha origine in contesto nordamericano e britannico, e quando arriva in Italia emerge con sguardi in cui si ibridano diverse tradizioni di azione ed analisi. Il risultato è che ad oggi in questo contesto i discorsi sul tema presentano una consistente eterogeneità e sfocatura, anche dal punto di vista lessicale. Obiettivo dell’articolo è riflettere su tale eterogeneità, provando a ricostruire di cosa si parla in Italia quando si parla di “politiche urbane del cibo” e di “politiche locali del cibo”, e cercando di capire se esista una chiara caratterizzazione di questi concetti rispetto a quello più generale di “politiche del cibo”. L’articolo presenta in questo senso i risultati dell’analisi del contenuto testuale di 579 pagine web all’interno delle quali ricorre almeno una delle tre espressioni, mostrando come il concetto di “politiche locali del cibo” sia attualmente meno diffuso ma più definito rispetto agli altri due.

Development of a Family Orientation and Engagement Resource for the SICU at UNC Medical Center

description: The intensive care environment produces great anxiety and uncertainty for the family members of a critical patient. Family members are often entering an unfamiliar environment and some of this uncertainty and stress is accredited to the lack of accessible information about the hospital for the family. In order to meet the needs of families, many studies concluded that providing readily accessible information is what family members perceive as most important, and that providing structured information in the form of booklets/leaflets helps to decrease anxiety and improve comprehension about the ICU. After general observations of the SICU at UNC Medical Center, a lack of orientation materials was revealed. The goal of this project was to create an easily accessible print and digital media orientation guide specific to the SICU and UNC Health. Focus groups were held with SICU nursing staff to determine current orientation procedure. Qualitative data was then coded to identify themes in responses. Results revealed four major themes, (a) variability; (b) prioritization; (c) managing expectations; and (d) the effect of the family on the nurse. Based on focus group results and a similar quality improvement project conducted by Schnock et al., the SICU family orientation booklet was created and approved for use by nursing management. The final design of the booklet focused on an introduction of the SICU to the family in order to encourage more familiarity and deeper knowledge acquisition.

description: We report a neutron scattering study of the ferroelectric phase transition in Sr$_{0.585}$Ce$_{0.025}$Ba$_{0.39}$Nb$_2$O$_6$ (SBN-61:Ce). We find no evidence for a soft transverse optic phonon. We do, however, observe anisotropic diffuse scattering. This scattering has inelastic and elastic contributions. In the paraelectric phase the susceptibility associated with the elastic diffuse scattering follows well the anomaly of the dielectric susceptibility of SBN-61:Ce. In the ferroelectric phase the lineshape of the elastic scattering is consistent with the form expected for the ferroelectric domain walls. In contrast to the macroscopic observations, the scattering properties of Ce-doped crystal do not exhibit important changes with respect to those of pure Sr$_{0.61}$Ba$_{0.39}$Nb$_2$O$_6$.

description: We image the spatial extent of a cool galactic outflow with fine structure Fe II$^*$ emission and resonant Mg II emission in a gravitationally lensed star-forming galaxy at $z = 1.70347$. The Fe II$^*$ and Mg II (continuum-subtracted) emissions span out to radial distances of $\sim$14.33 kpc and 26.5 kpc, respectively, with maximum spatial extents of $\sim$21 kpc for Fe II$^*$ emission and $\sim$30 kpc for Mg II emission. Mg II residual emission is patchy and covers a total area of $\sim$184 kpc$^2$, constraining the minimum area covered by the outflowing gas to be $\sim$13% of the total area. Mg II emission is asymmetric and shows $\sim$21% more extended emission along the declination direction. We constrain the covering fractions of the Fe II$^*$ and Mg II emission as a function of radial distance and characterize them with a power law model. The Mg II 2803 emission line shows two kinematically distinct emission components, and may correspond to two distinct shells of outflowing gas with a velocity separation of $Δv \sim$ 400 km/s. By using multiple images with different magnifications of the galaxy in the image plane, we trace the Fe II$^*$, Mg II emissions around three individual star-forming regions. In all cases, both the Fe II$^*$ and Mg II emissions are more spatially extended compared to the star forming regions traced by the [O II] emission. These findings provide robust constraints on the spatial extent of the outflowing gas, and combined with outflow velocity and column density measurements will give stringent constraints on mass outflow rates of the galaxy.
