The paper presents a simplified formula to determine an electron temperature, Te(He I), for planetary nebulae (PNe) using the He I 7281/6678 line flux ratio. In our previous studies of Te(He I) (Zhang et al. 2005), we used the He I line…

Disordered systems show deviations from the standard Debye theory of specific heat at low temperatures. These deviations are often attributed to two-level systems of uncertain origin. We find that a source of excess specific heat comes from…
