Occultation Mapping of the Central Engine in the Active Galaxy MCG -6-30-15

description: The colossal power output of active galactic nuclei (AGN) is believed to be fueled by the accretion of matter onto a supermassive black hole. This central accreting region of AGN has hitherto been spatially unresolved and its structure therefore unknown. Here we propose that a previously reported `deep minimum' in the X-ray intensity of the AGN MCG-6-30-15, was due to a unique X-ray occultation event and that it probes structure of the central engine on scales < 1e14 cm, or 1.4e-7 arcseconds. The data are consistent with a bright central source surrounded by a less intense ring, which we identify with the inner edge of an accretion disk. These may be the first direct measurements of the spatial structure and geometry of the accreting black-hole system in an active galaxy.If the ring of X-ray emission is identified with the inner edge of an accretion disk, upper limits on the BH mass can be derived. Our occultation interpretation is controversial in the sense that X-ray variability in AGNs is normally attributed to intrinsic physical changes in the X-ray emission region, such as disk or coronal instabilities.

Realistic lower bounds for the factorization time of large numbers on a quantum computer

description: We investigate the time T a quantum computer requires to factorize a given number dependent on the number of bits L required to represent this number. We stress the fact that in most cases one has to take into account that the execution time of a single quantum gate is related to the decoherence time of the qubits that are involved in the computation. Although exhibited here only for special systems, this inter-dependence of decoherence and computation time seems to be a restriction in many current models for quantum computers and leads to the result that the computation time T scales much stronger with L than previously expected.

Variability Associated with Alpha Accretion Disc Theory for Standard and Advection Dominated Discs
Creators: name: Blackman, Eric G.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The $α$ turbulent viscosity formalism for accretion discs must be interpreted as a mean field theory. The extent to which the disc scale exceeds that of the turbulence determines the precision of the predicted luminosity $L_ν$. The assumption of turbulence and use of $\a$ implies: (1) Field line stretching generates a magnetic pressure $\gsim \a^2/6$ of the total pressure generally, and a 1 to 1 relation between $\a$ and the pressure ratio when shearing instabilities dominate the viscosity. (2) Large eddy sizes and speeds in typical advection dominated accretion flows (ADAFs) lead to a lower precision in $L_ν$ than for thin discs of a given total observation duration and central mass. The allowed variability (relative precision) at a particular frequency increases (decreases) with the size of the contributing region. For X-ray binary type ADAFs, the allowed variability is $\sim 5$% at $R \le 1000$ Schwarzchild radii for averages over $\gsim 1000$sec. But for large galactic nuclei like NGC 4258 and M87, the relative precision error can approach $50-100%$ even at $R \le 100 R_S$ for currently available observation durations. More data are then required to compare with ADAF predictions.

Die Ausgrabung eines hellenistischen Grabbezirks am Nordhang des Stadtbergs hat zahlreiche neue Einblicke in die Funeralkultur dieser Zeit erbracht. Erstmals ist nun auch in Pergamon ein Ausschnitt einer hellenistischen Gräberstraße bekannt. Die Untersuchungen der archäologischen Bauforschung wurden im Amphitheater fortgesetzt und auf das römische Theater am Musalla Mezarlığı ausgedehnt. Der Survey im Umfeld des Asklepieions und am westlichen Rand der antiken Stadt hat vor allem neue Informationen zur Nutzung des Geländes für Bestattungen und für den Steinabbau erbracht. Der archäologische Umlandsurvey konzentrierte sich auf ein Flusstal und eine angrenzende Hochebene nordöstlich von Dikili, wo zahlreiche neue Befunde zur antiken Landnutzung und zur römischen Thermalkultur dokumentiert werden konnten. Die Entdeckung eines antiken Höhlenheiligtums der Meter-Kybele mit älteren Nutzungsschichten bis in das Epipaläolithikum verspricht grundlegende neue Erkenntnisse für die Siedlungsgeschichte der Mikroregion und darüber hinaus. Die Arbeiten der Physischen Geographie haben sowohl im ländlichen Bereich als auch im unmittelbaren Umfeld der antiken Stadt neue Einblicke in die Morphodynamik der Bakırçay-Ebene und die Rolle anthropogener Faktoren eröffnet. Der intensive Survey in Pitane (Çandarlı) wurde abgeschlossen und lässt u. a. erste chronologische und funktionale Differenzierungen in der Nutzung des Areals zur Keramikproduktion erkennen. Die Auswertung der Pollen aus einem Bohrkern aus dem Kara Göl ergänzt und erweitert die Daten zur Umweltgeschichte der Mikroregion und zeigt zugleich zukünftige Potentiale auf. Die Maßnahmen der Baudenkmalpflege konzentrierten sich auf den Abschluss der Arbeiten in der Roten Halle, auf die ›Gotenmauer‹ am Stadtberg und auf den Unteren Rundbau im Asklepieion.

description: Experimental tests of Bell inequalities ought to take into account all detection events. If the latter are postselected, and only some of these events are included in the statistical analysis, a Bell inequality may be violated, even by purely classical correlations. The paradoxical properties of Werner states, recently pointed out by Popescu, can be explained as the result of a postselection of the detection events, or, equivalently, as due to the preparation of a new state by means of a nonlocal process.

description: The cosmological principle assumes that the universe is homogeneous and isotropic on cosmic scales. There exist many works testing the cosmic homogeneity and/or the cosmic isotropy of the universe in the literature. In fact, some observational hints of the cosmic anisotropy have been claimed. However, we note that the paucity of the data considered in the literature might be responsible for the `found' cosmic anisotropy. So, it might disappear in a large enough sample. Very recently, the Pantheon sample consisting of 1048 type Ia supernovae (SNIa) has been released, which is the largest spectroscopically confirmed SNIa sample to date. In the present work, we test the cosmic anisotropy in the Pantheon SNIa sample by using three methods, and hence the results from different methods can be cross-checked. All the results obtained by using the hemisphere comparison (HC) method, the dipole fitting (DF) method and HEALPix suggest that no evidence for the cosmic anisotropy is found in the Pantheon SNIa sample.

description: We perform an effective field theory analysis of the $τ^- \to π^- π^0 ν_τ$ decays, that includes the most general interactions between Standard Model fields up to dimension six, assuming left-handed neutrinos. We constrain as much as possible the necessary Standard Model hadronic input using chiral symmetry, dispersion relations, data and asymptotic QCD properties. As a result, we set precise (competitive with low-energy and LHC measurements) bounds on (non-standard) charged current tensor interactions, finding a very small preference for their presence, according to Belle data. Belle-II near future measurements can thus be very useful in either confirming or further restricting new physics tensor current contributions to these decays. For this, the spectrum in the di-pion invariant mass turns out to be particularly promising. Distributions in the angle defined by the $τ^-$ and $π^-$ momenta can also be helpful if measured with less than $10\%$ accuracy, both for non-standard scalar and tensor interactions.

As an application, we find new infinite sets of exceptional branched cover data on the Riemann sphere.

Abstract: This talk will define reproducible research as analyses can be recreated in full by an independent scientist. Dr Whitaker will discuss the perceived and actual barriers experienced by researchers attempting to conduct reproducible research, and give practical guidance on how they can be overcome. The talk will include suggestions on how to make your code and data available and usable for others (including a strong suggestion to document both clearly so you don’t have to reply to lots of email questions from future users...or yourself when that revise and submit decision comes through!). Kirstie will cover a brief guide to version control, collaboration and dissemination using GitHub as well as a discussion of tools to help you work reproducibly from the start. Exercises and resources will be persistently available after the talk and all audience members will leave knowing there is something they can do to step towards making their research reproducible.Bio: Kirstie Whitaker is a research fellow at the Alan Turing Institute (London, UK) and a senior research associate in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Cambridge.

The effects of birth weight and accelerated weight on body composition and appetite regulation
Creators: name: Sanchez Canon, Gina
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: The link between early life and development of metabolic disorders and obesity in later life has been the focus of many studies over the past decades. Fetal life and early infancy are two of the most critical periods of physiological and metabolic development and plasticity, and thus, are periods whereby a stimulus can cause long term consequences on the health of an individual (developmental programming). Accelerated weight gain during early life per se or in combination with extreme birth weights (low/high birth weight) have been postulated as factors that can affect the development of individuals with later consequences in health. However, there is not a clear understanding of the specific contribution at different ages to impaired health neither of the mechanisms involved in these alterations. In this thesis, I used an isogenic murine model with natural birth weight variation within a normal range to investigate the effects of extreme birth weights on body composition and appetite regulation at different stages of life. I compared low and high birth weights phenotypes during lactation, at the time of weaning, and a young adulthood as well as early matured age. Mice were challenged to a moderate high fat diet for 12 weeks after weaning in order to assess the effects of both birth weight and a hypercaloric feed on body composition and hypothalamic neural activity. At weaning, adiposity was positively related to birth weight and weight gain but negatively related to growth rate. Low birth weight male mice (LBWm) had a lower plasma glucose concentration but similar levels of insulin to High birth weight male mice (HBWm), indicating a degree of hyperinsulinemia. Low birth weight females (LBWf) were hyperinsulinemic and hyperglycemic compared to High birth weight females (HBWf). There was an upregulation in the expression of genes related to insulin signaling, adipogenesis/lipid metabolism and thermoregulation in Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue (SAT) of LBWm mice compared to HBWm mice but the contrary was seen in LBWf mice in respect to their counterpart. LBWm mice caught up in weight with HBWm mice at younger age than the equivalent catch up in female mice. Birth weight and diet impacted body fat patterning and appetite regulation differently in both young males and females. However, at week 51 of age (early matured age), diet seemed to override the effects of birth weight on total body fat. LBWm mice tended to have smaller adipocytes than young and matured HBWm mice, especially when fed a HF diet, and this pattern was independent of fat mass. In conclusion, the current study suggests that extreme birth weights in an isogenic mouse model (within natural birth weight variation), as well as postnatal nutrition influenced growth, glucose / lipid metabolism, body fat patterning and appetite regulation in an age-gender dependent manner.

Coarse-grained molecular dynamics
Creators: name: Edmunds, David
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: In this work, we investigate the application of coarse-graining (CG) methods to molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. These methods provide access to length and time scales previously inaccessible to traditional materials simulation techniques. However, care must be taken when applying any coarse-graining strategy to ensure that we preserve the material properties of the system we are interested in. We discuss common CG strategies, including their strengths, weaknesses and ease of application. The theory of coarse-graining is discussed within the framework of statistical mechanics, together with an analytic derivation of the CG partition function for a harmonic potential. We then apply this theory to a simple system of two interacting dimers, obtaining expressions for the CG free and internal energy. This example serves as a motivation for how to coarse-grain more realistic systems numerically. We introduce five different approaches to generating a CG potential, which we have termed the rigid and relaxed approximation, the constrained pair approach, the unconstrained box approach and the entropic approach. We apply each of these techniques to a system of C60 molecules, comparing our results against reference fully atomistic MD simulations of the same system. We find that the constrained pair approach provides an optimal balance between ease of generation and accuracy when compared to the reference model.

Experimental and numerical investigation of an automotive mixed flow turbocharger turbine under pulsating flow conditions
Creators: name: Padzillah, Muhamad Hasbullah
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: It is commonly known that the turbocharger turbine is still designed using the quasi-steady assumption despite its highly pulsating unsteady working conditions. The positioning of a turbocharger in close proximity to the exhaust valve in order to extract substantial energy ultimately necessitates a thorough investigation regarding its performance under pulsating flow conditions. This thesis presents experimental and numerical work, as well as the design of new advanced stator concept to improve turbine performance under pulsating flow conditions. A cold flow test facility is setup mainly to isolate the effect of pulsating flow conditions and therefore allowing the performance deviation from the quasi-steady approach to be properly recorded and documented. Since experimental data alone is not sufficient for understanding the detailed flow field within the turbocharger turbine stage, a complete 3-D Computational Fluid Dynamics model is developed using commercial software Ansys CFX. The model is validated against experimental data for all steady and pulsating conditions. During pulsating conditions, the incidence angle close to the rotor inlet changed significantly which directly affected the turbine performance. A study on the turbine performance improvement by aggressive reduction of nozzle vanes are conducted and experimentally tested. Results of steady and pulsating conditions suggested that the new vanes arrangement delivered significantly improved performance under both operating conditions especially at 50% speed (equivalent to 30000 rpm). At 80% speed (48000 rpm), the turbine efficiency is either similar or better (up to 8 efficiency point improvement) than the baseline arrangements.

The epidemiology of dothistroma needle blight in Britain
Creators: name: Mullett, Martin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: The epidemiology of D. septosporum in Britain, from its behaviour and effects in a forest stand to its spread and population biology was investigated in this thesis. The peak infection period for the pathogen was determined to be spring and summer (June to September) albeit with low levels of infection occurring throughout the year. Contrary to previous belief the pathogen was found to have more than one life cycle per year in England. This is undoubtedly a factor contributing to the severity of the disease seen in this country. Such high disease levels across multiple years reduce the length of needles on affected trees. This reduced needle length compounds the effects necrosis and premature defoliation have on photosynthetic capacity and contributes to the reduced main stem increment seen in DNB affected trees. Once needles are shed from the tree the fungus does not survive for extended periods of time. In needles that reach the forest floor 90% of infective propagules die within three months whereas this figure rises to six months in needles that remain lodged in the canopy. Nonetheless, the pathogen is successfully dispersed far greater distances than previously believed. Infection was detected over 1,400 m from an inoculum source, which is over five times the greatest distance previously reported. Microsatellite analysis of isolates from across Britain revealed six distinct population clusters: two restricted to Scotland, two predominantly in England and Wales and two occurring throughout Britain. The two England and Wales populations had considerable overlap with two populations from Brittany, France, suggesting that some degree of pathogen exchange had occurred between the two countries. Furthermore, one of the Scottish population clusters was found to have links with western North America, the origin of its dominant host, lodgepole pine, indicating its introduction from this area into Scotland. Together the findings presented in this thesis can be used to guide improved management practices of dothistroma needle blight in Britain.
Numerical modelling of coastal structures armoured with concrete units
Creators: name: Anastasaki, Eleni
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Looking to a future where the structural stability of single concrete armour layers is based upon numerical investigation, this thesis addresses the first major task, which is the representation of real structures. Coastal structures armoured with concrete units are created in prototype dimensions in a numerical model with satisfied realism for first time. The available 3D computer model based on FEMDEM (the combined finite-discrete element method), which has the capability for multi-body simulation of complex shaped objects, was used. A major challenge was to develop a methodology for the numerical creation of concrete armour layers that would satisfy the stringent criteria required by the designers of breakwater units for on-site constructed ‘random’ and ‘interlocking’ systems. A novel feature to obtain realistically tight systems is the use of four initial types of regular orientations of units, which are sequenced appropriately on a pre-defined positioning pattern grid. This new methodology enables different armour layer models to be built, characterised and examined. The scope of the study is limited to dry conditions and performance under oscillatory loading is investigated by means of vibration. Design variables such as initial packing density, underlayer roughness and number of rows are evaluated and the technical criteria are challenged. The use of a different type of unit shape is also examined to show the potential of the developed technology. A set of analysis tools including accurate calculation of packing density on a local and global basis and the distribution of unit displacements after disturbance were developed to evaluate designs. It is confirmed that the packing density is the most important parameter, which influences the performance of armour layers; the tighter the packs, the less are the displacements of units under disturbance. A single armour layer with low number of rows of units also proved to be stable. It is easier for units placed on a relatively smooth underlayer to find tighter positions, causing higher values of total average packing density. But when disturbed, armour layers placed on a rough underlayer are more stable. The use of a different type of unit shape is also examined in this thesis, with the purpose to present the potential of the developed technology to such applications. Results may be considered to have limited applicability to the real behavior of structures under wave action. However, they provide some insights into how such complex coastal structures behave. This research constitutes a stepping stone on the way to models that accommodate wave action and will may one day improve the engineering design and understanding of movement of these concrete armour units.

description: Observations of galactic BHCs made by the Compton GRO in the hard X-ray and gamma-ray bands have significantly enhanced our knowledge of the emission properties of these objects. Understanding these observations presents a formidable challenge to theoretical models of the accretion flow onto the compact object and of the physical mechanisms that generate high-energy radiation. Here we summarize the current state of observations and theoretical interpretation of the emission from BHCs above 20 keV. The all-sky monitoring capability of BATSE allows nearly continuous studies of the high-energy emission from more than a dozen BHCs. These long-term datasets are particularly well-suited to multi-wavelength studies. Energy spectral evolution and/or state transitions have been observed from many of the BHCs. Observations above 50 keV from OSSE demonstrate the existence of two gamma ray spectral states that appear to be the extensions of the X-ray low/hard and high/soft (or perhaps very high) states. The former state, the "breaking" state, cuts off with e-folding energy ~100 keV and has its peak luminosity near this energy. In contrast, the latter state has luminosity peaking in the soft X-rays and an unbroken power law spectrum, even up to energies above 500 keV in some cases. The breaking gamma-ray spectrum can be well modeled by Comptonization of soft photons in a hot thermal plasma. The power-law state creates more significant theoretical challenges. It has been suggested that in this state the high- energy emission arises from bulk-motion Comptonization in the convergent accretion flow from the inner edge of the accretion disk.

description: We theoretically investigate the transport properties of a weak coherent input field scattered by an ensemble of $Λ$-type atoms coupled to a one-dimensional photonic crystal waveguide. In our model, the atoms are randomly located in the lattice along the crystal axis. We analyze the transmission spectrum mediated by the tunable long-range atomic interactions, and observe the highest-energy dip. The results show that the highest-energy dip location is associated with the number of the atoms, which provides an accurate measuring tool for the emitter-waveguide system. We also quantify the influence of a Gaussian inhomogeneous broadening and the dephasing on the transmission spectrum, concluding that the highest-energy dip is immune to both the inhomogeneous broadening and the dephasing. Furthermore, we study photon-photon correlations of the reflected field and observe quantum beats. With tremendous progress in coupling atoms to photonic crystal waveguides, our results may be experimentally realizable in the near future.

description: We give an example in which it is possible to understand quantum statistics using classical concepts. This is done by studying the interaction of charged matter oscillators with the thermal and zeropoint electromagnetic fields characteristic of quantum electrodynamics and classical stochastic electrodynamics. Planck's formula for the spectral distribution and the elements of energy $ \hbarω$ are interpreted without resorting to discontinuities. We also show the aspects in which our model calculation complement other derivations of blackbody radiation spectrum without quantum assumptions.

description: We have developed in detail the theory of X-ray line and continuum production due to atomic interactions of accelerated ions, incorporating in our calculations information from a broad range of laboratory measurements. We applied our calculations to the Orion region from which nuclear gamma-ray lines were observed with the COMPTEL instrument on CGRO. The accelerated particles which produce this gamma-ray emission via nuclear reactions also produce X-ray lines via atomic interactions. We predict strong line emission in the range from 0.5 to 1 keV, mainly due to de-excitations in fast O ions. While much of the diffuse X-ray emission observed with ROSAT from Orion could be due to accelerated ions, the current X-ray data do not provide unambiguous signatures for such an origin. If future observations with high spectral resolution would confirm the predicted X-rays, the combined analysis of the X-ray and gamma-ray data will set important constraints on the origin of the accelerated particles and their interaction model.

description: Temporal Bell-like inequalities are derived taking into account the influence of the measurement apparatus on the observed magnetic flux in a rf-SQUID. Quantum measurement theory is shown to predict violations of these inequalities only when the flux states corresponding to opposite current senses are not distinguishable. Thus rf-SQUIDs cannot help to discriminate realism and quantum mechanics at the macroscopic level.

description: The distribution of the ratios of nearest neighbor level spacings has become a popular indicator of spectral fluctuations in complex quantum systems like interacting many-body localized and thermalization phases, quantum chaotic systems, and also in atomic and nuclear physics. In contrast to the level spacing distribution, which requires the cumbersome and at times ambiguous unfolding procedure, the ratios of spacings do not require unfolding and are easier to compute. In this work, for the class of Wigner-Dyson random matrices with nearest neighbor spacing ratios $r$ distributed as $P_β(r)$ for the three ensembles indexed by $β=1,2, 4$, their $k-$th order spacing ratio distributions are shown to be identical to $P_{β'}(r)$, where $β'$, an integer, is a function of $β$ and $k$. This result is shown for Gaussian and circular ensembles of random matrix theory and for several physical systems such as spin chains, chaotic billiards, Floquet systems and measured nuclear resonances.

description: Recently Alard\markcite{alard1996} proposed to detect the shift of a star's image centroid, $δx$, as a method to identify the lensed source among blended stars. Goldberg & Woźniak\markcite{goldberg1997} actually applied this method to the OGLE-1 database and found that 7 out of 15 events showed significant centroid shifts of $δx \gtrsim 0.2$ arcsec. The amount of centroid shift has been estimated theoretically by Goldberg.\markcite{goldberg1997} However, he treated the problem in general and did not apply it to a particular survey or field, and thus based his estimates on simple toy model luminosity functions (i.e., power laws). In this paper, we construct the expected distribution of $δx$ for Galactic bulge events by using the precise stellar LF observed by Holtzman et al.\markcite{holtzman1998} using HST. Their LF is complete up to $M_I\sim 9.0$ ($M_V\sim 12$), corresponding to faint M-type stars. In our analysis we find that regular blending cannot produce a large fraction of events with measurable centroid shifts. By contrast, a significant fraction of events would have measurable centroid shifts if they are affected by amplification-bias blending. Therefore, Goldberg & Woźniak's measurements of large centroid shifts for a large fraction of microlensing events confirms the prediction of Han and Alard that a large fraction of Galactic bulge events are affected by amplification-bias blending.
