description: White-light interferometry (WLI) has been widely established as a contact-free measurement method for surface topographies. While the widespread vertical scanning approach provides a height resolution of under 1 nm, it is not suitable for measurements on objects in motion. An alternative for moving surfaces is laterally scanning white-light interferometry (LSWLI). Though LSWLI allows to measure objects in motion, the measurement on rotating, curved objects is still challenging, since the tilt angle between the optical axis of the WLI and the surface normal varies over the field of view, and the height evaluation strongly depends on the tilt angle that needs to be calibrated. For this reason, an enhancement of the signal evaluation is proposed that enables LSWLI measurements on rotating objects, cylinders in particular, without a preceding calibration of the tilt angle distribution in the field of view. This was achieved by enhancing a self-calibration algorithm originally developed for linearly scanned, plane surfaces with spatially resolved time-frequency analysis. Using this self-calibrating algorithm, the local tangent surface angles present in the field of view of the LSWLI are retrieved and used to calculate the micro topography of a cylindrical specimen. These topography data contain no information on the global shape of the object, therefore shape-removal algorithms, as needed for VSWLI measurements, are not necessary. As a byproduct of the angle evaluation, the radius of the cylindrical specimen can be determined in addition. The comparison with VSWLI reference data finally shows that the LSWLI setup is able to produce similar topography results despite the much inferior hardware.

description: The antiferrodistortive (AFD) phase transition for a pseudotetragonal composition of Pb(Zr0.530Ti0.470)O3 (PZT) doped with 6% Sr has been investigated using sound velocity (4 to 320K), high resolution synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction (100 to 800K) and high resolution as well as high flux neutron powder diffraction measurements (4K) to settle the existing controversies about the true ground state of PZT in the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) region. The multiplet character of the neutron diffraction profiles of (3/2 1/2 1/2)pc (pseudocubic or pc indices) and (3/2 3/2 1/2)pc superlattice peaks, appearing below the AFD transition temperature, rules out the rhombohedral R3c space group. The true ground state is confirmed to be monoclinic in the Cc space group in agreement with the predictions of the first principles calculations and earlier findings for pure PZT in the MPB region. 6% Sr2+ substitution and the use of high wavelength (λ=2.44Å) neutrons have played key role in settling the existing controversies about the true ground state of PZT in the MPB region.

description: We develop an inflationary model without small parameters on the basis of multidimensional $f(R)$ gravity with a minimally coupled scalar field. The model is described by two stages of space expansion. The first one begins at energy scales about the D-dimensional Planck mass and ends with the de Sitter metric of our space and the maximally symmetric extra dimensions. In the following, the quantum fluctuations produce a wide set of inhomogeneous extra metrics in causally disconnected regions quickly generated in the de Sitter space. We find a specific extra space metric that leads to the effective Starobinsky model that fits the observational data.

description: The rich physical properties of multiatomic molecules and crystalline structures are determined, to a significant extent, by the underlying geometry and connectivity of atomic orbitals. This orbital degree of freedom has also been used effectively to introduce structural diversity in a few synthetic materials including polariton lattices nonlinear photonic lattices and ultracold atoms in optical lattices. In particular, the mixing of orbitals with distinct parity representations, such as $s$ and $p$ orbitals, has been shown to be especially useful for generating systems that require alternating phase patterns, as with the sign of couplings within a lattice. Here we show that by further breaking the symmetries of such mixed-orbital lattices, it is possible to generate synthetic magnetic flux threading the lattice. This capability allows the generation of multipole higher-order topological phases in synthetic bosonic platforms, in which $π$ flux threading each plaquette of the lattice is required, and which to date have only been implemented using tailored connectivity patterns. We use this insight to experimentally demonstrate a quadrupole photonic topological insulator in a two-dimensional lattice of waveguides that leverage modes with both $s$ and $p$ orbital-type representations. We confirm the nontrivial quadrupole topology of the system by observing the presence of protected zero-dimensional states, which are spatially confined to the corners, and by confirming that these states sit at the band gap. Our approach is also applicable to a broader range of time-reversal-invariant synthetic materials that do not allow for tailored connectivity, e.g. with nanoscale geometries, and in which synthetic fluxes are essential.

description: Quantum systems as used for quantum computation or quantum sensing are nowadays often realized in solid state devices as e.g. complex Josephson circuits or coupled quantum-dot systems. Condensed matter as an environment influences heavily the quantum coherence of such systems. Here, we investigate electron transport through asymmetrically coupled InAs double quantum dots and observe an extremely strong temperature dependence of the coherent current peaks of single-electron tunneling. We analyze experimentally and theoretically the broadening of such coherent current peaks up to temperatures of 20 K and we are able to model it with quantum dissipation being due to two different bosonic baths. These bosonic baths mainly originate from substrate phonons. Application of a magnetic field helps us to identify the different quantum dot states through their temperature dependence.

description: As the possibility of safe escape is the most crucial aspect of a building’s fire safety features, understanding human behaviour under fire conditions is important for successful evacuation. Although most of today’s buildings are equipped with adequate fire safety systems, a fire can still occur at anytime and anywhere in the building. In the last decade, researchers and practitioners have used information technology to assist with fire safety design and emergency management. One of these technologies is Building Information Modelling (BIM), which has been increasingly adopted as a process backed by computer-based tools for fire safety designs, simulations, and analyses. Although much research has been conducted on human behaviour during fire emergencies and the implementation of BIM for fire safety, there is a lack of research specifically on how information from a BIM model supported by sensors and smart phone technology can be delivered to occupants of high-rise residential buildings to aid the effectiveness of evacuation. The customisation of egress information delivery to individual occupants during a fire emergency is still at its premature phase, as highlighted by the gap identified from the literature review. A mixed method research approach was chosen that combined secondary and tertiary data from the literature review, preliminary discussions with firefighters and building occupants, in-depth interviews, simulation modelling, as well as a focus group for validation.

Coexistence of Kochen-Specker inequalities and noncontextuality inequalities

description: Two types of inequalities, Kochen-Specker inequalities and noncontextuality inequalities, are both used to demonstrate the incompatibility between the noncontextual hidden variable model and quantum mechanics. It has been thought that noncontextuality inequalities are much more potent than Kochen-Specker inequalities, since the latter are constrained by the Kochen-Specker rules, which are regarded as an extra constraint imposed on the noncontextual hidden variable model. However, we find that a noncontextuality inequality exists in a ray set if and only if a Kochen-Specker inequality exists in the same ray set. This provides an effect approach both for constructing noncontextuality inequalities in a Kochen-Specker set and for converting a Kochen-Specker inequality to a noncontextuality inequality in any ray set.

description: The two most prominent and ubiquitous features of glasses at low temperatures, namely the presence of tunneling two-level systems and the so-called boson peak in the reduced vibrational density of states, are shown to persist essentially unchanged in highly stabilized glasses, contrary to what was usually envisaged. Specifically, we have measured the specific heat of 110 million-year-old amber samples from El Soplao (Spain), both at very low temperatures and around the glass transition Tg. In particular, the amount of two-level systems, assessed at the lowest temperatures, was surprisingly found to be exactly the same for the pristine hyperaged amber as for the, subsequently, partially and fully rejuvenated samples.

The Mathematical Modelling Of The Interaction Between Sprinkler Sprays And The Thermally Buoyant Layers Of Gases From Fires
Creators: name: Gardiner, A.
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 1988

description: In recent years many doubts have been expressed about the simultaneous use of sprinkler sprays and smoke ventilation. In order to examine these smoke control arrangements, a mathematical model to describe the interaction between sprinkler sprays and the thermally buoyant layers of fire gases has been developed; and incorporated into a computer program. The model is three dimensional and can take account of the parameters of the building; the siting of sprinkler heads; and the spray envelopes. The building assumes a corridor geometry and that the fire source is remote from the location of interest. The corridor exit can be described by a deep down stand; a doorway; or a wide opening with ventilation. Smoke flow can be defined in three ways: by using simplified methods available in the literature or a standardised procedure developed for the model. This development allows for a realistic buoyancy profile to be described over the height and length of the corridor. Physical properties and transport phenomena of the smoke are characterised by using the maximum temperature and depth of the layer as input variables. The smoke and clear air below, is divided into a matrix of finite control volumes. The size of the control volumes can be selected by the user of the program. Known spray characteristics of several sprinklers, at various operating pressures, are used as input data for the droplet emission calculations. The projection of droplets has been examined sequentially around the circumference of the strike plate in discrete discharge sections. This approach allows the continuous cooling of the smoke layer to be calculated. Algorithms to describe the heat, mass and momentum transfer of droplets, over a wide range of Reynolds numbers, were developed following a review of the literature. The mathematical model can examine the effects of many variables on the transfer of heat from the buoyant layer. The available results are a) thermal and physical histories of individual drops within each spray envelope. b) the effect of sprinklers on the buoyant layer as it passes through individual spray envelopes. c) the consequence of sprinkler operation on the egress of smoke from the building. The results are presented in a series of data files, which can be represented in a graphical manner. Analysis of the results allows for a quantitative study of the interaction between arrays of sprinklers and the buoyant layer and the removal of smoke from the building.

description: We confirm the Kepler planet candidate Kepler-410b (KOI-42b) as a Neptune sized exoplanet on a 17.8 day, eccentric orbit around the bright (Kp = 9.4) star Kepler-410A. This is the third brightest confirmed planet host star in the Kepler field and one of the brightest hosts of all currently known transiting exoplanets. Kepler-410 consists of a blend between the fast rotating planet host star (Kepler-410A) and a fainter star (Kepler-410B), which has complicated the confirmation of the planetary candidate. Employing asteroseismology, using constraints from the transit light curve, adaptive optics and speckle images, and Spitzer transit observations, we demonstrate that the candidate can only be an exoplanet orbiting Kepler-410A. Via asteroseismology we determine the following stellar and planetary parameters with high precision; M$_\star = 1.214 \pm 0.033$ M$_\odot$, R$_\star = 1.352 \pm 0.010$ R$_\odot$, Age = $2.76 \pm 0.54$ Gyr, planetary radius ($2.838 \pm 0.054$ R$_\oplus$), and orbital eccentricity ($0.17^{+0.07}_{-0.06}$). In addition, rotational splitting of the pulsation modes allows for a measurement of Kepler-410A's inclination and rotation rate. Our measurement of an inclination of $82.5^{+7.5}_{-2.5}$ [$^\circ$] indicates a low obliquity in this system. Transit timing variations indicate the presence of at least one additional (non-transiting) planet in the system.

description: We theoretically study the dynamics of $n$-level spin-orbit coupled alkaline-earth fermionic atoms with SU($n$) symmetric interactions. We consider three dimensional lattices with tunneling along one dimension, and the internal levels treated as a synthetic dimension, realizing an $n$-leg flux ladder. Laser driving is used to couple the internal levels and to induce an effective magnetic flux through the ladder. We focus on the dense and strongly interacting regime, where in the absence of flux the system behaves as a Mott insulator with suppressed motional dynamics. At integer and fractional ratios of the laser Rabi frequency to the onsite interactions, the system exhibits resonant features in the dynamics. These resonances occur when interactions help overcome kinetic constraints upon the tunneling of atoms, thus enabling motion. Different resonances allow for the development of complex chiral current patterns. The resonances resemble the ones appearing in the longitudinal Hall resistance when the magnetic field is varied. We characterize the dynamics by studying the system's long-time relaxation behavior as a function of flux, number of internal levels $n$, and interaction strength. We observe a series of non-trivial pre-thermal plateaus caused by the emergence of resonant processes at successive orders in perturbation theory. We discuss protocols to observe the predicted phenomena under current experimental conditions.

L’aire de distribution naturelle de C. sativa est  probablement situee dans la partie de l’Asie Mineure s’etendant de la region de la Mer Noire jusqu’a l’Ouest du Caucase. A l’heure actuelle, cette espece est largement distribuee de l’Ouest a l’Est de l’Europe (http://www.discoverlife.org) dans des regions a precipitation annuelle moyenne superieure a 600 mm, a courte saison de secheresse et a sols legerement acides (pH 4,5 - 6,5) (Urbisz & Urbisz, 2007).  L’Europe a une longue tradition dans la culture de C. sativa (Conedera et al., 2004). En milieu rural, cette espece a une grande valeur economique grace a ses fruits comestibles et a son excellent bois aux caracteristiques technologiques optimales. De plus, les parcelles de chataignier jouent un role agro-ecologique important, par exemple dans la protection contre le feu et l’erosion ainsi que pour l’habitat de la vie sauvage et les zones de loisir.  Pour la production commerciale de chataignes, differents cultivars (varietes cultivees) ont ete crees, y compris des hybrides entre le chataignier europeen et le chataignier japonais (C. crenata). Ces cultivars different par de nombreuses caracteristiques telles que notamment la taille et les proprietes organoleptiques des chataignes.

description: The objectives of this study were to assess the role of digital and innovative entrepreneurship on sustainable development in Nigeria and also to explore the inter-link between functional entrepreneurship education and attainment of sustainable development in Nigeria. This study which was conducted in Enugu State Nigeria, employed the literature review approach. A total of 21 relevant research articles published in journals with very high impact factor including sustainability, were reviewed. Moreover, the articles selected had to cover areas of study that span across different regions around the world as this was intended to arrive at a conclusion that will be generally acceptable and free from bias.  The study concluded that 1) digital and innovative entrepreneurship plays a critical role in the attainment of sustainable development in Nigeria 2) there is an inter-link between functional entrepreneurship education and attainment of sustainable development in Nigeria. The study recommends that the federal government must take the lead to ensure the prioritization of digitalization in the conduct of economic and entrepreneurial activities in the country. Also, entrepreneurship education curriculum and course contents should be designed in such a way that the lessons will be highly appealing, very intensive and practically oriented to the tune of 80% while 20% or less will be left for theoretical foundations and knowledge as this will enhance its functionality and practicability. Furthermore, socio - economic and environmental sustainability and development, should be a salient topic covered in the theoretical aspect of the course contents

description: We study the parameter sensitivity of hetero-polymeric DNA within the purview of DNA breathing dynamics. The degree of correlation between the mean bubble size and the model parameters are estimated for this purpose for three different DNA sequences. The analysis leads us to a better understanding of the sequence dependent nature of the breathing dynamics of hetero-polymeric DNA. Out of the fourteen model parameters for DNA stability in the statistical Poland-Scheraga approach, the hydrogen bond interaction $ε_{hb}(\mathtt{AT})$ for an $\mathtt{AT}$ base pair and the ring factor $ξ$ turn out to be the most sensitive parameters. In addition, the stacking interaction $ε_{st}(\mathtt{TA}-\mathtt{TA})$ for an $\mathtt{TA}-\mathtt{TA}$ nearest neighbor pair of base-pairs is found to be the most sensitive one among all stacking interactions. Moreover, we also establish that the nature of stacking interaction has a deciding effect on the DNA breathing dynamics, not the number of times a particular stacking interaction appears in a sequence. We show that the sensitivity analysis can be used as an effective measure to guide a stochastic optimization technique to find the kinetic rate constants related to the dynamics as opposed to the case where the rate constants are measured using the conventional unbiased way of optimization.

Suspended in a Moving Night: Photography, or the Shiny Relation Self–World

description: Framed seeing – photography – shows an ambiguous nature, as it is window to the world, shop window for desire, and van-ity mirror for the self. The human action in seeing, in the gaze, and in our desire for capturing an instant that is nevertheless already lost, unveils photography as a mutable surface where the complex relation of self–other develops. The surface, which separates and unites subject and object, allows a dynamic rela-tion between realities and perceptions. It is precisely in the in-betweenness of the ontological and epistemological break-ing, in the suspension “in the moving night,” that approximation and intimacy can take place.
In-process roughness quality inspection for metal sheet rolling

description: A reliable in situ inspection of working rolls’ surface quality requires fast roughness measurements with >0.5 m2/min on a nanometer scale. A speckle-based measurement approach is realized using a high-speed pulse laser and FPGA-based image processing to inspect surface areas with a diameter of 1 cm without motion blur with 200 Hz. As a result, a roughness resolution below 0.5 nm is demonstrated under manufacturing conditions, which mainly results from light source intensity fluctuations. The surface quality inspection is finally validated on the rolling wheel in a reconditioning process to detect the tool roughness distribution and respective tool wear.
title: Using Luminescence Dating to Investigate Geomorphic and Archaeologic Features at the Wiggins Fork Bison Jump Complex, Northwestern Wyoming
Creators: name: Krolczyk, Emma T.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: The Wiggins Fork Bison Jump Complex, located in northwestern Wyoming, is comprised of thousands of human-placed rock piles, known as cairns, that were placed within lines to form an extensive network of drivelines and funnels leading to cliffs or steep slopes. These archaeological features were used by Native Americans as a bison hunting method, where the animals were driven off cliffs for harvest. This research uses luminescence dating, which determines when sediment was last exposed to sunlight, to date the timing of driveline construction and the deposition ages of the underlying river deposits.
Research focused on Jump #4, which had extensive drivelines (~1.7 km) leading to a well-developed jump funnel and bison bones preserved at its base. Age results indicate that this jump was constructed on a glacial-aged river terrace of the Wiggins Fork. Dating of the cairns at Jump #4 indicate that they were constructed around 300-800 years ago, aligning with radiocarbon ages from the bone beds at the base of the jump. These results reveal that the jump funnel was constructed during and slightly before the jump was actively used for hunting and indicate that luminescence dating can be used to accurately provide rock placement ages. Additionally, cairn mapping and luminescence dating revealed that drivelines approaching the jump were rebuilt in response to gully erosion as adaptation to a changing landscape, with drivelines closer to the terrace edge producing older ages than those further inland. The results presented here have implications for understanding how Native Americans used and modified landscapes over time.
This research was funded by the Robert K. Fahnestock Award from the Geological Society of America, graduate assistantships from the USU Department of Geosciences, the USU Luminescence Dating Laboratory, and support by a private donor to fund the fieldwork and geochronology costs. This project supports ongoing archaeological work to protect this culturally and historically significant site.

description: This essay covers two main topics: the role of the “double vi-sion” of the sight/nonsight of blinking in selected fiction of Neil Gaiman and China Miéville, and an examination of the role of blindness and sight surrounding “Molyneux’s question.” In Gaiman’s work “double vision” functions as a synchronic representation  of  diachronic  events.  This  representation  is  important because it makes fleeting change visible. However, China Miéville’s novel Perdido Street Station provides an im-plicit critique of this “double-vision” by re-locating moments of movement within the experience Gaiman describes. The importance of the role of blinking in a discussion of vision and the blind brings forth a question of the ability to see dark-ness itself. While a number of historical and contemporary thinkers are engaged with in this trajectory, it is the burgeon-ing field of speculative realism (Latour; Meillassoux; Harman) that provides a lodestone. It is here that the immanence of the thought of Badiou (but also Deleuze, strongly brought forth in DeLanda) is centralized, meaning the manner in which the new arises from what already is, rather than from any sort of transcendental perspective. This can be seen, for example, in Quentin Meillassoux’s positing of the question of ancestrality:if all knowledge is based on the observer (relativism), then how can we know that the earth is 4.5 billion years old, when there were no observes on the earth to observe it for much of that time? The answer comes about through a new under-standing of the object which exists before givenness which is developed through the language of mathematics and science, although this perspective will also be seen in the scientific at-tunement of Nietzsche and others. Thus, it can be argued that the relational or relativistic position of much cultural theory and continental philosophy should be augmented if not re-placed by a theory of the object in which it will be seen that a development of a representation of the lack of relation between a subject and object (Harman’s dormant objects) can be the locus of where a more fundamental understanding of such a relation is to be found.

description: When we began, we attempted to open the dossier of seeing. Not just in the epis-temological sense of what it means to see, or the hermeneutical sense of the meaning of what is seen but, more pertinently, the question what is seeing.And when we say we, one has to keep in mind the fact that this is a collaborative thinking; a thinking that was only pos-sible as others – Julia Hölzl, Jessica Aliaga

description: Motivation: Glaucoma is currently the most common irreversible cause of blindness worldwide. A significant risk factor is an individually increased intraocular pressure (IOP). A precise measurement method is needed to determine the IOP in order to support the diagnosis of the disease and to monitor the outcome of the IOP reduction as a medical intervention. A handheld device is under development with which the patient can perform self-measurements outside the clinical environment. Method: For the measurement principle of the self-tonometer the eye is acoustically excited to oscillate, which is analyzed and attributed to the present IOP. In order to detect the corneal oscillation, an optical sensor is required which meets the demands of a compact, battery driven self-tonometer. A combination of an infrared diode and a phototransistor provides a high-resolution measurement of the corneal oscillation in the range of 10 μm–150 μm, which is compared to a reference sensor in the context of this study. By means of an angular arrangement of the emitter and the detector, the degree of reflected radiation of the cornea can be increased, allowing a measurement with a high signal-to-noise ratio. Results: By adjusting the angle of incidence between the detector and the emitter, the signal-to-noise ratio was improved by 40 dB which now allows reasonable measurements of the corneal oscillation. For low amplitudes (10 μm) the signal-to-noise ratio is 10% higher than that of the commercial reference sensor. On the basis of amplitude variations at different IOP levels, the estimated standard uncertainty amounts to <0.5 mm Hg in the physiological pressure range with the proposed measuring approach. Conclusion: With a compact and cost-effective approach, that suits the requirements for a handheld self-tonometer, the corneal oscillation can be detected with high temporal resolution. The cross-sensitivity of the sensor concept concerning a distance variation can be reduced by adding a distance sensor. Existing systematic influences of corneal biomechanics will be integrated in the sensor concept as a consecutive step.

description: Η ευρωπαϊκή καστανιά (Castanea sativa Mill.) απαντάται από την ανατολική μέχρι τη δυτική Ευρώπη (http://www.discoverlife.org) και σε περιοχές με μέση ετήσια  βροχόπτωση υψηλότερη από 600 mm, μικρή περίοδο ξηρασίας και όξινα εδάφη (pH 4.5-6.5) (Urbisz & Urbisz, 2007).  Στην Ευρώπη, η καλλιέργεια της καστανιάς έχει μακρά παράδοση (Conedera et al., 2004). Έχει μεγάλη οικονομική αξία για αγροτικές περιοχές λόγω των εδώδιμων καρπών της και του εξαιρετικού της ξύλου το οποίο διαθέτει άριστα τεχνικά χαρακτηριστικά. Επιπλέον, τα οικοσυστήματα με καστανιά διαδραματίζουν σημαντικό αγροοικολογικό ρόλο καθώς προστατεύουν από πυρκαγιές και διάβρωση, αποτελούν ενδιαίτημα της άγριας πανίδας και αποτελούν χώρους αναψυχής.  Διαφορετικές ποικιλίες έχουν αναπτυχθεί για εμπορική παραγωγή καρπών συμπεριλαμβανομένων των υβριδίων ανάμεσα στην Ευρωπαϊκή και στην Ιαπωνική καστανιά (C. crenata). Οι ποικιλίες διαφέρουν σε πολλά χαρακτηριστικά όπως, για παράδειγμα, στο μέγεθος και στα οργανοληπτικά χαρακτηριστικά των καρπών.

description: We present results for the kaon mixing parameter $B_K$ obtained using improved staggered fermions on a much enlarged set of MILC asqtad lattices. Compared to our previous publication, which was based largely on a single ensemble at each of the three lattice spacings $a\approx 0.09\;$fm, $0.06\;$fm and $0.045\;$fm, we have added seven new fine and four new superfine ensembles, with a range of values of the light and strange sea-quark masses. We have also increased the number of measurements on one of the original ensembles. This allows us to do controlled extrapolations in the light and strange sea-quark masses, which we do simultaneously with the continuum extrapolation. This reduces the extrapolation error and improves the reliability of our error estimates. Our final result is $\hat{B}_K = 0.7379 \pm 0.0047 (\text{stat}) \pm 0.0365 (\text{sys})$.

description: Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) allows lateral edge epitaxy of transition metal dichalcogenide heterostructures with potential applications in optoelectronics. Critical for carrier and exciton transport is the quality of the two materials that constitute the monolayer and the nature of the lateral heterojunction. Important details of the optical properties were inaccessible in as-grown heterostructure samples due to large inhomogeneous broadening of the optical transitions. Here we perform optical spectroscopy at T = 4 K and also at 300 K to access the optical transitions in CVD grown MoSe2-WSe2 lateral heterostructures that are transferred from the growth-substrate and are encapsulated in hBN. Photoluminescence (PL), reflectance contrast and Raman spectroscopy reveal considerably narrowed optical transition linewidth similar to high quality exfoliated monolayers. In high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) we find near-atomically sharp junctions with a typical extent of 3nm for the covalently bonded MoSe2-WSe2. In PL imaging experiments we find effective excitonic diffusion length that are longer for WSe2 than for MoSe2 at low T=4 K, whereas at 300 K this trend is reversed.

Not-So-Simple Stellar Populations in the Intermediate-age Large Magellanic Cloud Star Clusters NGC 1831 and NGC 1868

description: Using a combination of high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope/WFPC2 observations, we explore the physical properties of the stellar populations in two intermediate-age star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud, NGC 1831 and NGC 1868, based on their color-magnitude diagrams. We show that both clusters exhibit extended main-sequence turn-offs. To explain the observations, we consider variations in helium abundance, binarity, age dispersions, and fast rotation of the clusters' member stars. The observed narrow main sequence excludes significant variations in helium abundance in both clusters. We first establish the clusters' main-sequence binary fractions using the bulk of the clusters' main-sequence stellar populations >1 mag below their turn-offs. The extent of the turn-off regions in color--magnitude space, corrected for the effects of binarity, implies that age spreads of order 300 Myr may be inferred for both clusters if the stellar distributions in color--magnitude space were entirely due to the presence of multiple populations characterized by an age range. Invoking rapid rotation of the population of cluster members characterized by a single age also allows us to match the observed data in detail. However, when taking into account the extent of the red clump in color--magnitude space, we encounter an apparent conflict for NGC 1831 between the age dispersion derived from that based on the extent of the main-sequence turn-off and that implied by the compact red clump. We therefore conclude that, for this cluster, variations in stellar rotation rate are preferred over an age dispersion. For NGC 1868, both models perform equally well.
