The most luminous X-ray source in the Local Group is associated with the nucleus of M33. This source, M33 X-8, appears modulated by ~20% over a ~106 day period, making it unlikely that the combined emission from unresolved sources could…
Between 19 and 54 GPa, potassium has a complex composite incommensurate host-guest structure which undergoes two intraphase transitions over this pressure range. The temperature dependence of these host-guest phases is further complicated…
We have discovered extended X-ray emission from the microquasar Cyg X-3 in archival Chandra X-ray Observatory observations. A 5" wide structure lies approximately 16" to the NE from the core point source and may be extended in that…
Condensed matter systems offer the opportunity to maximize the number of spins, probed in magnetic resonance experiments that search for physics beyond the standard model. EuCl$_3\cdot 6$H$_2$O is a promising solid-state platform for such…
High pressure electrical resistivity and x-ray diffraction experiments have been performed on Fe single crystals. The crystallographic investigation provides direct evidence that in the martensitic $bcc \rightarrow hcp$ transition at 14 GPa…
We aim to study the phase spiral in the Milky Way (MW) with Gaia DR3. We used an edge detection algorithm to find the border of the phase spiral, allowing us to robustly quantify its shape at different positions and for different…
We applied synchrotron single-crystal X-ray diffraction in a diamond anvil cell at 48-51 GPa and first-principles theoretical calculations to study the crystal structure of solid atomic iodine at high pressure. We report the synthesis of…
A PopIII/Pop II transition from massive to normal stars is predicted to occur when the metallicity of the star forming gas crosses the critical range Z_cr = 10^(-5 +/- 1) Z_sun. To investigate the cosmic implications of such process we use…
The intermetallic $\tau_{11}$ Al$_4$Fe$_{1.7}$Si phase is of interest for high-temperature structural application due to its combination of low density and high strength. We determine the crystal structure of the $\tau_{11}$ phase through a…
We investigate holographic superfluids in AdS_{d+1} with d=3,4 in the non-backreacted approximation for various masses of the scalar field. In d=3 the phase structure is universal for all the masses that we consider: the critical…
We present results of hard X-ray angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and photoemission diffraction measurements performed on high-quality single crystals of the valence transition compound EuPd$_2$Si$_2$ for temperatures 25~K $\leq$ T…
In this paper, we revisit the high-pressure behavior of BaZrO3 by a combination of first-principle calculations, Raman spectroscopy, and x-ray diffraction under high pressure. We confirm experimentally the cubic-to-tetragonal transition at…
We have updated our publicly available dust radiative transfer code (HOCHUNK3D) to include new emission processes and various 3-D geometries appropriate for forming stars. The 3-D geometries include warps and spirals in disks, accretion…
With a sample of 225.3 million $J/\psi$ events taken with the BESIII detector, the decay $J/\psi\rightarrow \gamma 3(\pi^+\pi^-)$ is analyzed. A structure at 1.84 GeV/c$^2$ is observed in the $3(\pi^+\pi^-)$ invariant mass spectrum with a…
Based on $(2712.4\pm14.1)\times10^{6}$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we study the decays $h_{c}\to3(\pi^{+}\pi^{-})\pi^{0}$, $h_{c}\to2(\pi^{+}\pi^{-})\omega$, $h_{c}\to2(\pi^{+}\pi^{-})\pi^{0}\eta$,…
The second peak in the Fe XVI 33.5 nm line irradiance observed during solar flares by Extreme ultraviolet Variability Experiment (EVE) is known as Extreme UltraViolet (EUV) late phase. Our previous paper (Liu et al. 2013) found that the…
We report on THz, infrared reflectivity and transmission experiments for wave numbers from 10 to 8000 cm$^{-1}$ ($\sim$ 1 meV - 1 eV) and for temperatures from 5 to 295 K on the Kitaev candidate material {\alpha}-RuCl$_3$. As reported…
We present HST images of star-forming galaxies at redshifts z>3. These galaxies have been color selected for having a Lyman discontinuity in the otherwise flat (in f_\nu units) UV spectra of unreddened star formation. The spectroscopic…
The surface of Europa is geologically young and shows signs of current activity. Studying it from a photometric point of view gives us insight on its physical state. We used a collection of 57 images from Voyager's Imaging Science System…
All the components of cosmic rays have 'structure' in their energy spectra at some level, ie deviations from a simple power law, and their examination is relevant to the origin of the particles. Emphasis, here, is placed on the large-scale…
