The nuclear force is central to our understanding of complex nuclear phenomena and to the applications of nuclear techniques. The nonperturbative nature of the low-energy strong interaction and the color confinement have made an ab initio…
Stellar shells observed in many giant elliptical and lenticular as well as a few spiral and dwarf galaxies presumably result from radial minor mergers of galaxies. We show that the line-of-sight velocity distribution of the shells has a…
