We perform Ramsey spectroscopy on the ground state of ultra-cold 87Rb atoms magnetically trapped on a chip in the Knudsen regime. Field inhomogeneities over the sample should limit the 1/e contrast decay time to about 3 s, while decay times…
Radio photons interact with anisotropic density fluctuations in the heliosphere, which can alter their trajectory and influence properties deduced from observations. This is particularly evident in solar radio observations, where…
The spin periods of the ten observed Anomalous X-ray Pulsars and Soft Gamma-ray Repeaters lie in the very narrow range 6-12 s. We use a point likelihood technique to assess the constraints this clustering imposes on the birth period and on…
Strong lensing time-delay systems constrain cosmological parameters via the so-called time-delay distance and the angular diameter distance to the lens. In previous studies, only the former information was used. In this paper, we show that…

Pulsars are rapidly spinning highly magnetised neutron stars. Their spin period is observed to decrease with time. An early analytical model for this process was the vacuum retarded dipole (VRD) by Deutsch (1955). This model assumes an…
