We report unfiltered photometry of BG Arietis (= SDSS J015151.87+140047.2) in 2009 and 2010 which shows the presence of superhumps with peak-to-peak amplitude of up to 0.36 magnitudes showing this to be an SU UMa type dwarf nova. The…
The phenomenon of superconductivity was explained as a consequence of ordering of zero-point oscillations. Superfluidity are related phenomenon. The consideration of interaction zero-point oscillations in liquid helium permit to obtain…
A CCD photometry of the dwarf nova MASTER OT J172758.09 +380021.5 was carried out in 2019 during 134 nights. Observations covered three superoutbursts, five normal outbursts and quiescence between them. The available ASASSN and ZTF data for…
High resolution data in the region of the line Halpha have been obtained at the time of the light maximum and after it of the 2006 optical outburst of the symbiotic binary Z And. A blue-shifted absorption component indicating outflow…
We employ optical pump-THz probe spectroscopy to chart the ultrafast superconductivity suppression in NbN over a broad range of excitation fluences. Our measurements uncover a pronounced lengthening of the superconductivity quenching time…
The luminosity-redshift relation of cosmological standard candles provides information about the relative energy composition of our Universe. In particular, the observation of type Ia supernovae up to redshift of z~2 indicate a universe…
Waterfalls are anomalies in the angle-resolved photoemission spectrum where the energy-momentum dispersion is almost vertical, and the spectrum strongly smeared out. These anomalies are observed at relatively high energies, among others, in…
Every supernova hitherto observed has been considered to be the terminal explosion of a star. Moreover, all supernovae with absorption lines in their spectra show those lines decreasing in velocity over time, as the ejecta expand and thin,…
The discovery of the sources of ultra-high energy photons by High-Altitude Water Cerenkov Gamma ray Observatory and Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory in our Galaxy has revolutionised the field of gamma ray astronomy in the last few…
EM Cygni is a Z Cam-subtype eclipsing dwarf nova. Its orbital period variations were reported in the past but the results were in conflict to each other while other studies allowed the possibility of no period variation. In this study we…
The local stellar halo of the Milky Way contains the debris from several past accretion events. Here we study in detail the structure and properties of nearby debris associated with the Helmi streams, originally identified as an overdensity…
We provide an in depth study of the theoretical peculiarities that arise in effective negative mass lensing, both for the case of a point mass lens and source, and for extended source situations. We describe novel observational signatures…
The discovery and study of highly transient sources, especially those which rise to high brightness and then fade to obscurity, has been a major part of modern astrophysics. Well known examples include supernovae and novae. A byproduct of…
Submerged granular hoppers exhibit an unexpected surge in discharge rate as they empty [Wilson et al. 2015]. With a more sensitive apparatus, we find that this surge depends on hopper diameter and also happens in air --- though the effect…
Dwarf nova (DN) superoutbursts are accompanied by superhumps, which change their periods and profiles over a superoutburst. We present the TESS and ground-based observations of nine WZ Sge-type DNe and candidates in superoutburst. In TCP…
We present a microscopic theory of transport through quantum dot set-ups coupled to superconducting leads. We derive a master equation for the reduced density matrix to lowest order in the tunneling Hamiltonian and focus on quasiparticle…
The theory of hole superconductivity proposes that superconductivity originates in the fundamental electron-hole asymmetry of condensed matter and that it is an 'undressing' transition. Here we propose that a natural consequence of this…
Ultra-hot disintegrating exoplanets have been detected with tails trailing behind and/or shooting ahead of them. These tails are believed to be made of dusts that are carried upward by the supersonic flow escaping the planet's gravity field…
Besides the mechanism responsible for high critical temperature superconductivity, the grand unresolved issue of the cuprates is the occurrence of a strange metallic state above the so-called pseudogap temperature $T^*$. Even though such…
I review the observational properties of SW Sex stars. I show that they can be explained by an accretion stream overflowing the disc, combined with an accretion disc wind. I suggest that SW Sex behaviour is caused by episodes of very high…
