Experimental determination and modelling of various thermo-physical properties of nuclear materials above 1500 K
Creators: name: Pavlov, Tsvetoslav
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: In the framework of improving nuclear power plant safety during accidents, the current study is focused on developing and applying a new technique for the high temperature determination of thermal conductivity, specific heat, thermal diffusivity, spectral and total hemispherical emissivity, as well as the melting points of nuclear materials. The new inverse method is based on the laser flash approach. The novel use of a finite element analysis (FEA) model (as part of the inverse method) allows accurate description of complex boundary conditions and has led to an improved accuracy of the evaluated properties. The inverse method has been tested for use with two devices – a pyrometer and an infrared camera. All experimental results are complemented by novel and existing solid state theory. The results obtained on isotropic, isostatically pressed, graphite (neutron moderator) are in good agreement with literature values (available to around 1500 K) and extend the available data up to 2800 K. Values are reported of specific heat, thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of UO2 from 1500 K to 2900 K. The specific heat model and measurements show, for the first time that a gradual pre-melting transition is consistent with high temperature literature values – enthalpy increment measurements and independently measured high temperature oxygen defect concentrations. Experimental results are also presented for the thermal conductivity, specific heat, thermal diffusivity, spectral and total hemispherical emissivity of ThO2 from 2000 K to 3050 K. It is the first time direct measurements of thermal conductivity and total hemispherical emissivity have been carried out on ThO2 at such high temperatures. All new results commit to a better understanding of the properties of nuclear materials, in particular nuclear fuel, under extreme conditions. Hence, this work will contribute towards improved predictions of nuclear core behaviour during an accident (using fuel performance or severe accident codes).

description: We study the effect of extragalactic point sources on satellite observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). In order to separate the contributions due to different foreground components, a maximum-entropy method is applied to simulated observations by the Planck Surveyor satellite. In addition to point sources, the simulations include emission from the CMB and the kinetic and thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effects from galaxy clusters, as well as Galactic dust, free-free and synchrotron emission. We find that the main input components are faithfully recovered and, in particular, that the quality of the CMB reconstruction is only slightly reduced by the presence of point sources. In addition, we find that it is possible to recover accurate point source catalogues at each of the Planck Surveyor observing frequencies.

Self-heating ignition of natural reactive porous media
Creators: name: Restuccia, Francesco
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Self-heating is the tendency of certain porous solid fuels to undergo spontaneous exothermic reactions in oxidative atmospheres at low temperatures. Self-heating can cause accidental ignition of reactive porous media leading to wildfires, ecosystem damage, property damage, loss of industrial facilities and even loss of life. Traditional self-heating ignition literature studies have been dominated by coal. However, there are many other materials prone to self-heating ignition like biomass and other natural occurring materials. Using oven basket experiments coupled with the Frank-Kamenetskii theory of ignition, this thesis aims at quantifying self-heating ignition risk and properties, and quantifying the chemical kinetics and thermal properties of natural fuels such as shale, carbon-rich soils such as peatlands, and biochars produced from wheat, rice husks, and softwood upscaling the results to real systems. This method requires extensive laboratory time, but gives the most accurate self-heating results. The thesis focuses on the effect of three main physical parameters: carbon content, inorganic content, and particle size of the fuel. I show that shale rock can self-heat in normal ambient conditions. Using soil biomass samples with inorganic content between 3% and 86% of dry weight, I quantify the effect of inorganic content on self-heating ignition, and show that self-heating can initiate wildfires in some soil types and conditions. I quantify the reactivity of softwood biochar produced as a function of the pyrolysis reactor temperature. I show that the reactivity of softwood is not a monotonic function of pyrolysis reactor temperature. I present an experimental comparison of wheat, rice husk, and softwood biomass and biochar, quantifying the differences between different feedstock sources and what effect this has on the biochar's relative fire risk. Finally, I quantify the effect of particle size diameter on self-heating ignition for wheat, showing that the critical temperature for self-heating ignition decreases with particle size.

Large $c$ Virasoro Blocks from Monodromy Method beyond Known Limits

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

description: In this paper, we study large $c$ Virasoro blocks by using the Zamolodchikov monodromy method beyond its known limits. We give an analytic proof of our recent conjectur, which implied that the asymptotics of the large $c$ conformal blocks can be expressed in very simple forms, even if outside its known limits, namely the semiclassical limit or the heavy-light limit. In particular, we analytically discuss the fact that the asymptotic behavior of large $c$ conformal blocks drastically changes when the dimensions of external primary states reach the value $\frac{c}{32}$, which is conjectured by our numerical studies. The results presented in this work imply that the general solutions to the Zamolodchikov recursion relation are given by Cardy-like formula, which is an important conclusion that can be numerically drawn from our recent works. Mathematical derivations and analytical results imply that, in the bulk, the collision behavior between two heavy particles may undergo a remarkable transition associated with their masses.

The Eastern Arm of M83 Revisited: High-Resolution Mapping of 12CO 1-0 Emission

description: We have used the Owens Valley Millimeter Array to map 12CO (J=1-0) along a 3.5 kpc segment of M83's eastern spiral arm at resolutions of 6.5"x3.5", 10", and 16". The CO emission in most of this segment lies along the sharp dust lane demarking the inner edge of the spiral arm, but beyond a certain point along the arm the emission shifts downstream from the dust lane to become better aligned with the young stars seen in blue and H-beta images. This morphology resembles that of the western arm of M100. Three possibilities, none of which is wholly satisfactory, are considered to explain the deviation of the CO arm from the dust lane: heating of the CO by UV radiation from young stars, heating by low-energy cosmic rays, and a molecular medium consisting of two (diffuse and dense) components which react differently to the density wave. Regardless, the question of what CO emission traces along this spiral arm is a complicated one. Strong tangential streaming is observed where the arm crosses the kinematic major axis of the galaxy, implying that the shear becomes locally prograde in the arms. Inferred from the streaming is a very high gas surface density of about 230 solar masses/pc**2 and an arm-interarm contrast greater than 2.3 in the part of the arm near the major axis. Using two different criteria, we find that the gas at this location is well above the threshold for gravitational instability -- much more clearly so than in either M51 or M100.

Detection of Cold Atomic Clouds in the Magellanic Bridge

description: We report a detection of cold atomic hydrogen in the Magellanic Bridge using 21-cm absorption spectroscopy toward the radio source B0312-770. With a column density of N_HI=1.2E20 cm^-2, a maximum absorption optical depth of tau=0.10 and a maximum 21-cm emission brightness temperature of 1.4 K, this line of sight yields a spin temperature, T_s, between 20 K and 40 K. H I 21-cm absorption and emission spectroscopy toward 7 other low column density sightlines on the periphery of the LMC and SMC reveal absorption toward one additional background radio source behind the SMC with tau=0.03. The data have typical sensitivities of sigma_tau=0.005 to 0.070 in absorption and sigma_{T_B}=0.03 K in emission. These data demonstrate the presence of a cold atomic phase which is probably accompanied by molecular condensations in the tenuous interstellar medium of the Bridge region. Young OB stars observed in the Magellanic Bridge could form "in situ" from these cold condensations rather than migrate from regions of active star formation in the main body of the SMC. The existence of cold condensations and star formation in the Magellanic Bridge might be understood as a small scale version of the mechanism that produces star formation in the tidal tails of interacting galaxies.

Characterisation of the molecular mechanisms regulating luteinizing hormone receptor
Creators: name: Sposini, Silvia
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the major family of membrane proteins transducing extracellular stimuli into intracellular signals. The luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) is a GPCR expressed in gonadal and extragonadal tissues where it plays pivotal roles in reproduction and pregnancy. Endocytic trafficking of GPCRs represents a key mechanism in defining cellular responses by controlling signalling at both temporal and spatial level. After ligand activation, LHR is internalised into very early endosomes (VEEs), small vesicles (~400nm in diameter) close to the plasma membrane and distinct from the classic early endosome. Our laboratory identified the Adaptor Protein containing pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, PTB domain and Leucine zipper motif 1 (APPL1) as a marker of ~50% of VEEs where LHR is internalised to. My aims were to characterise the VEE by identifying the mechanisms dictating LHR post-endocytic sorting from this novel compartment, the role of APPL1 and how this impacts receptor signalling. Imaging LHR recycling in real time at single event resolution, enabled me to identify the kinetics and the machinery involved. While APPL1 was not required for LHR localisation in VEEs, it is essential for receptor recycling and negative regulation of cAMP production; two functions never ascribed before to APPL1 for any membrane cargo. These two functions of APPL1 are regulated in an opposing manner by phosphorylation of Ser410 of APPL1, achieved by activation of the Gαs-cAMP-PKA pathway, highlighting the mutual regulation of GPCR trafficking and signalling. I also demonstrated that both Gαs-cAMP and Gαq/11-calcium signalling require LHR internalisation, that endosomal signalling and recycling involves distinct adenylate cyclases and that Gαs activation is restricted to microdomains of the VEE. Finally, LHR recycling and cAMP signalling are also regulated by APPL1 in primary human endometrial stromal cells, where LHR trafficking and signalling could be perturbed in pathological conditions such as PCOS.
Modification of jet structure in high-multiplicity pp collisions due to multiple-parton interactions and observing a multiplicity-independent characteristic jet size

description: We study the multiplicity dependence of jet structures in pp collisions using Monte Carlo event generators. We give predictions for multiplicity-differential jet structures and present evidence for a non-trivial jet shape dependence on charged hadron event multiplicity, that can be used as a sensitive tool to experimentally differentiate between equally well-preforming simulation tunes. We also propose a way to validate the presence and extent of effects such as multiple parton interactions (MPI) or color reconnection (CR), based on the detection of non-trivial jet shape modification in high-multiplicity events at high pT. Using multiplicity-dependent jet structure observables in various pT windows might also help understanding the interplay between jet particles and the underlying event (UE). We introduce a multiplicity-independent characteristic jet size measure, and use a simplistic model to aid its physical interpretation.

description: In the paper, we consider the extended Gross-Witten-Wadia unitary matrix model by introducing a logarithmic term in the potential. The partition function of the model can be expressed equivalently in terms of the Toeplitz determinant with the $(i,j)$-entry being the modified Bessel functions of order $i-j-ν$, $ν\in\mathbb{C}$. When the degree $n$ is finite, we show that the Toeplitz determinant is described by the isomonodromy $τ$-function of the Painlevé III equation. As a double scaling limit, %In the double scaling limit as the degree $n\to\infty$, we establish an asymptotic approximation of the logarithmic derivative of the Toeplitz determinant, expressed in terms of the Hastings-McLeod solution of the inhomogeneous Painlevé II equation with parameter $ν+\frac{1}{2}$. The asymptotics of the leading coefficient and recurrence coefficient of the associated orthogonal polynomials are also derived. We obtain the results by applying the Deift-Zhou nonlinear steepest descent method to the Riemann-Hilbert problem for orthogonal polynomials on the Hankel loop. The main concern here is the construction of a local parametrix at the critical point $z=-1$, where the $ψ$-function of the Jimbo-Miwa Lax pair for the inhomogeneous Painlevé II equation is involved.

Reconstructing the radial profiles of gas density and temperature in clusters of galaxies from high-resolution X-ray and radio observations

description: We describe a non-parametric method to reconstruct gas density and temperature profiles of galaxy clusters from observations of X-ray surface brightness, emission-weighted temperature and the y-parameter through the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. This method is based on the inversion of the projected profiles under the spherically symmetric approximation, which is independent of the equation of state of cluster gas and does not assume that the gas is in hydrostatic equilibrium. In particular we examine the reliability of the reconstruction method assuming a few theoretical models for cluster gas and assigning the statistical errors expected for future X-ray and radio observations. We also discuss briefly the effect of non-sphericity on the basis of simulated clusters.

Modeling the growth of organisms validates a general relation between metabolic costs and natural selection

description: Metabolism and evolution are closely connected: if a mutation incurs extra energetic costs for an organism, there is a baseline selective disadvantage that may or may not be compensated for by other adaptive effects. A long-standing, but to date unproven, hypothesis is that this disadvantage is equal to the fractional cost relative to the total resting metabolic expenditure. This hypothesis has found a recent resurgence as a powerful tool for quantitatively understanding the strength of selection among different classes of organisms. Our work explores the validity of the hypothesis from first principles through a generalized metabolic growth model, versions of which have been successful in describing organismal growth from single cells to higher animals. We build a mathematical framework to calculate how perturbations in maintenance and synthesis costs translate into contributions to the selection coefficient. This allows us to show that the hypothesis is an approximation to the actual baseline selection coefficient. Moreover we can derive the correct prefactor in its functional form, as well as analytical bounds on its accuracy for any given realization of the model. We illustrate our general framework using a special case of the growth model, which we show provides a quantitative description of metabolic expenditures in data collected from a wide array of unicellular organisms (both prokaryotes and eukaryotes). In all these cases we demonstrate that the hypothesis is an excellent approximation, allowing estimates of baseline selection coefficients to within 15% of their actual values. Even in a broader biological parameter range, covering growth data from multicellular organisms, the hypothesis continues to work well, always within an order of magnitude of the correct result. Our work thus justifies its use as a versatile tool, setting the stage for its wider deployment.

Contribution of glucose to increased respiratory bacterial burden in hyperglycaemia
Creators: name: Gill, Simren Kaur
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: It has recently been proposed that uncontrolled hyperglycaemia in people with diabetes increases lung glucose, so providing a richer growth medium facilitating bacterial infection. Where diabetes is controlled, there is a reduced associated risk of bacterial infection. The aim of this thesis was to determine the effect of glucose on bacterial growth in vivo and directly link bacterial glucose metabolism with increased respiratory tract bacterial load in hyperglycaemia. P. aeruginosa, a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen, which is a major cause of respiratory infections, was used as chronic P. aeruginosa infections are most commonly associated with people with cystic fibrosis (CF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), but importantly P. aeruginosa is increasingly diagnosed in diabetic patients with pneumonia/lung infection. To test the hypothesis, P. aeruginosa mutants were generated by deleting oprB, gltK, gtrS and glk genes and these mutant strains were used in in vitro and in vivo infection models developed during this thesis. The mutants had drastically reduced growth in minimal medium containing glucose as the sole carbon source, whereas they were unaltered when grown in rich medium. In order to explore the effect of elevated glucose with minimal effects on the immune response, streptozocin was used to induce diabetes, instead of genetically obese mice, which have a complex phenotype and impaired immune responses. Streptozocin induced hyperglycaemia also led to increased bacterial load in the airways when mice were infected with wild type PAO1 but not with the glucose uptake and metabolism mutants. To further support this hypothesis when metformin was used to lower glucose levels it resulted in a reduced bacterial burden.
Optical Versus Mid-Infrared Spectroscopic Classification of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies

description: The origin of huge infrared luminosities of ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIGs) is still in question. Recently, Genzel et al. made mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy of a large number of ULIGs and found that the major energy source in them is massive stars formed in the recent starburst activity; i.e., $\sim$ 70% -- 80% of the sample are predominantly powered by the starburst. However, it is known that previous optical spectroscopic observations showed that the majority of ULIGs are classified as Seyferts or LINERs (low-ionization nuclear emission-line regions). In order to reconcile this difference, we compare types of emission-line activity for a sample of ULIGs which have been observed in both optical and MIR. We confirm the results of previous studies that the majority of ULIGs classified as LINERs based on the optical emission-line diagnostics turn to be starburst-dominated galaxies based on the MIR ones. Since the MIR spectroscopy can probe more heavily-reddened, inner parts of the ULIGs, it is quite unlikely that the inner parts are powered by the starburst while the outer parts are powered by non-stellar ionization sources. The most probable resolution of this dilemma is that the optical emission-line nebulae with the LINER properties are powered predominantly by shock heating driven by the superwind activity; i.e., a blast wave driven by a collective effect of a large number of supernovae in the central region of galaxy mergers.

description: The dynamics of quantum systems far from equilibrium represents one of the most challenging problems in theoretical many-body physics. While the evolution is in general intractable in all its details, relevant observables can become insensitive to microscopic system parameters and initial conditions. This is the basis of the phenomenon of universality. Far from equilibrium, universality is identified through the scaling of the spatiotemporal evolution of the system, captured by universal exponents and functions. Theoretically, this has been studied in examples as different as the reheating process in inflationary universe cosmology, the dynamics of nuclear collision experiments described by quantum chromodynamics, or the post-quench dynamics in dilute quantum gases in non-relativistic quantum field theory. Here we observe the emergence of universal dynamics by evaluating spatially resolved spin correlations in a quasi one-dimensional spinor Bose-Einstein condensate. For long evolution times we extract the scaling properties from the spatial correlations of the spin excitations. From this we find the dynamics to be governed by transport of an emergent conserved quantity towards low momentum scales. Our results establish an important class of non-stationary systems whose dynamics is encoded in time independent scaling exponents and functions signaling the existence of non-thermal fixed points. We confirm that the non-thermal scaling phenomenon involves no fine-tuning, by preparing different initial conditions and observing the same scaling behaviour. Our analog quantum simulation approach provides the basis to reveal the underlying mechanisms and characteristics of non-thermal universality classes. One may use this universality to learn, from experiments with ultra-cold gases, about fundamental aspects of dynamics studied in cosmology and quantum chromodynamics.

This identifies the source as a probable low-mass X-ray binary containing a neutron star. The error boxes of the detected bursts and of the persistent emission, as obtained with the Wide Field Cameras on board the BeppoSAX satellite, rule out an association with the proposed radio counterpart (Hjellming & Rupen 1997).

description: We present the scientific goals, the strategy and the first results of the REX project, an effort aimed at creating a sizable and statistically complete sample of Radio Emitting X-ray sources (REX) using the available data from a VLA survey and the ROSAT PSPC archive. Through a positional cross-correlation of the two data sets we have derived a sample of about 1600 REX. Among the 393 REX identified so far a high fraction is represented by AGNs, typically radio loud QSOs and BL Lacs. The remaining sources are galaxies, typically radio galaxies isolated or in cluster. Thanks to the low flux limits in the radio and in the X-ray band and the large area of sky covered by the survey, we intend to derive a new complete and unbiased sample of BL Lacs which will contain both ``RBL'' and ``XBL'' type objects. In this way, the apparent dichotomy resulting from the current samples of BL Lacs will be directly analyzed in a unique sample. Moreover, the high number of BL Lacs expected in the REX sample (about 200) will allow an accurate estimate of their statistical properties. To date, we have discovered 15 new BL Lacs and 11 BL Lac candidates with optical properties intermediate between those of a typical elliptical galaxy and those of a typical BL Lac object. These objects could harbour weak sources of non-thermal continuum in their nuclei and, if confirmed, they could represent the faint tail of the BL Lac population. The existence of such ``weak'' BL Lacs is matter of discussion in recent literature and could lead to a re-assessment of the defining criteria of a BL Lac and, consequently, to a revision of their cosmological and statistical properties.

description: [fol. 174] Voici bientôt le moment de liberté, mon cher ami, nous allons être en vacances et par conséquent si je ne peux avoir le plaisir de vous voir, du moins j’aurai celui de vous écrire. J’ai pourtant fait le projet d’aller en Provence voir le baron avec un de mes cousins Ferri, vers la fin du mois, à moins que cette affaire de l’université n’exigeât que je reste ici. Banal fils qui vous remettra cette lettre se chargera de ce que vous aurez à lui remettre pour moi. Je vous demande trois ou quatre plans de la plante pyrénéenne qui a levé chez vous sous le nom d’Angelica razoulii, nom que je lui donne dans mon ouvrage. De plus, avez-vous examiné de Seseli qui était en pleine terre dans une banquette, à feuilles articulées et fragiles. Enfin, vous me direz votre avis sur une renoncule que je vous envoyai il y a trois mois avec quelqu’autre plante.
On imprime et on grave à force mon livre. Messieurs de Jussieu ont été très satisfaits et l’ouvrage et des dessins. Ils me font espérer qu’ils me fourniront beaucoup de matériaux.
Adieu mon chez ami, conservez-moi toujours un peu de part dans votre amitié qui m’est infiniment précieuse. Je suis pour la vie tout à vous

description: Entangled polymers are deformed by a strong shear flow. The shape of the polymer, called the form factor, is measured by small angle neutron scattering. However, the real-space molecular structure is not directly available from the reciprocal-space data, due to the phase problem. Instead, the data has to be fitted with a theoretical model of the molecule. We approximate the unknown structure using piecewise straight segments, from which we derive an analytical form factor. We fit it to our data on a semi-dilute entangled polystyrene solution under in situ shear flow. The character of the deformation is shown to lie between that of a single ideal chain (viscous) and a cross-linked network (elastic rubber). Furthermore, we use the fitted structure to estimate the mechanical stress, and find a fairly good agreement with rheology literature.
Gamma-Ray Bursts and the Fireball Model

description: Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have puzzled astronomers since their accidental discovery in the late sixties. The BATSE detector on the COMPTON-GRO satellite has been detecting one burst per day for the last six years. Its findings have revolutionized our ideas about the nature of these objects. They have shown that GRBs are at cosmological distances. This idea was accepted with difficulties at first. The recent discovery of an X-ray afterglow by the Italian/Dutch satellite BeppoSAX has led to a detection of high red-shift absorption lines in the optical afterglow of GRB970508 and in several other bursts and to the identification of host galaxies to others. This has confirmed the cosmological origin. Cosmological GRBs release $\sim 10^{51}-10^{53}$ergs in a few seconds making them the most (electromagnetically) luminous objects in the Universe. The simplest, most conventional, and practically inevitable, interpretation of these observations is that GRBs result from the conversion of the kinetic energy of ultra-relativistic particles or possibly the electromagnetic energy of a Poynting flux to radiation in an optically thin region. This generic "fireball" model has also been confirmed by the afterglow observations. The "inner engine" that accelerates the relativistic flow is hidden from direct observations. Consequently it is difficult to infer its structure directly from current observations. Recent studies show, however, that this ``inner engine'' is responsible for the complicated temporal structure observed in GRBs. This temporal structure and energy considerations indicates that the ``inner engine'' is associated with the formation of a compact object - most likely a black hole.

$f\left(R,\nabla_{μ_{1}}R,\dots,\nabla_{μ_{1}}\dots\nabla_{μ_{n}}R\right)$ theories of gravity in Einstein frame: A higher order modified Starobinsky inflation model in the Palatini approach

description: In Cuzinatto et al. [Phys. Rev. D 93, 124034 (2016)], it has been demonstrated that theories of gravity in which the Lagrangian includes terms depending on the scalar curvature $R$ and its derivatives up to order $n$, i.e. $f\left(R,\nabla_μR,\nabla_{μ_{1}}\nabla_{μ_{2}}R,\dots,\nabla_{μ_{1}}\dots\nabla_{μ_{n}}R\right)$ theories of gravity, are equivalent to scalar-multitensorial theories in the Jordan frame. In particular, in the metric and Palatini formalisms, this scalar-multitensorial equivalent scenario shows a structure that resembles that of the Brans-Dicke theories with a kinetic term for the scalar field with $ω_{0}=0$ or $ω_{0}=-3/2$, respectively. In the present work, the aforementioned analysis is extended to the Einstein frame. The conformal transformation of the metric characterizing the transformation from Jordan's to Einstein's frame is responsible for decoupling the scalar field from the scalar curvature and also for introducing a usual kinetic term for the scalar field in the metric formalism. In the Palatini approach, this kinetic term is absent in the action. Concerning the other tensorial auxiliary fields, they appear in the theory through a generalized potential. As an example, the analysis of an extension of the Starobinsky model (with an extra term proportional to $\nabla_μR\nabla^μR$) is performed and the fluid representation for the energy-momentum tensor is considered. In the metric formalism, the presence of the extra term causes the fluid to be an imperfect fluid with a heat flux contribution; on the other hand, in the Palatini formalism the effective energy-momentum tensor for the extended Starobinsky gravity is that of a perfect fluid type. Finally, it is also shown that the extra term in the Palatini formalism represents a dynamical field which is able to generate an inflationary regime without a graceful exit.

Reconstructing Projected Matter Density from Cosmic Microwave Background

description: Gravitational lensing distorts the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies and imprints a characteristic pattern onto it. The distortions depend on the projected matter density between today and redshift $z \sim 1100$. In this paper we develop a method for a direct reconstruction of the projected matter density from the CMB anisotropies. This reconstruction is obtained by averaging over quadratic combinations of the derivatives of CMB field. We test the method using simulations and show that it can successfully recover projected density profile of a cluster of galaxies if there are measurable anisotropies on scales smaller than the characteristic cluster size. In the absence of sufficient small scale power the reconstructed maps have low signal to noise on individual structures, but can give a positive detection of the power spectrum or when cross correlated with other maps of large scale structure. We develop an analytic method to reconstruct the power spectrum including the effects of noise and beam smoothing. Tests with Monte Carlo simulations show that we can recover the input power spectrum both on large and small scales, provided that we use maps with sufficiently low noise and high angular resolution.

description: By analogy with the formation of space crystals, crystalline structures can also appear in the time domain. While in the case of space crystals we often ask about periodic arrangements of atoms in space at a moment of a detection, in time crystals the role of space and time is exchanged. That is, we fix a space point and ask if the probability density for detection of a system at this point behaves periodically in time. Here, we show that in periodically driven systems it is possible to realize topological insulators, which can be observed in time. The bulk-edge correspondence is related to the edge in time, where edge states localize. We focus on two examples: Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model in time and Bose Haldane insulator which emerges in the dynamics of a periodically driven many-body system.

description: We present new VI photometry for the halo globular cluster M30 (NGC 7099), and compute luminosity functions (LFs) in both bands for samples of about 15,000 hydrogen-burning stars from near the tip of the red giant branch (RGB) to over four magnitudes below the main-sequence (MS) turnoff. We confirm previously observed features of the LF that are at odds with canonical theoretical predictions: an excess of stars on subgiant branch (SGB) approximately 0.4 mag above the turnoff and an excess number of RGB stars relative to MS stars. Based on subdwarfs with Hipparcos-measured parallaxes, we compute apparent distance moduli of (m-M)_{V} = 14.87+/-0.12 and 14.65+/-0.12 for reddenings of E(V-I)=0.06 and 0.02 respectively. The implied luminosity for the horizontal branch (HB) at these distances is M_V(HB)=0.11 and 0.37 mag. The two helium indicators we have been able to measure (R and Delta) both indicate that M30's helium content is high relative to other clusters of similar metallicity. M30 has a larger value for the parameter Delta V_{TO}^{HB} than any of the other similarly metal-poor clusters for which this quantity can be reliably measured. This suggests that M30 has either a larger age or higher helium content than all of the other metal-poor clusters examined. The color-difference method for measuring relative ages indicates that M30 is coeval with the metal-poor clusters M68 and M92.
