Some recent papers proposed the use of the satellite images of Google Earth in teaching physics, in particular to see some behaviours of waves. Reflection, refraction, diffraction and interference are easy to be found in these satellite…
Plages are small concentrations of strong, nearly vertical magnetic fields in the solar photosphere that expand with height. A high spatial and spectral resolution that can resolve their fine structure is required to characterize them, and…
Polarization singularities and topological polarization structures are generic features of inhomogeneous vector wave fields of any nature. However, their experimental studies mostly remain restricted to optical waves. Here we report…
Radio synchrotron emission, its polarization and its Faraday rotation are powerful tools to study the strength and structure of interstellar magnetic fields. The total intensity traces the strength and distribution of total magnetic fields.…
High-resolution imaging and long-slit spectroscopy obtained with HST, combined with ground-based integral-field spectroscopy, provides the kinematics of stars and gas in nearby galactic nuclei with sufficient accuracy to derive the…
Based on transformation optics, a strategy is proposed to expose the inner one-dimensional space of a wave field inside a beam volume to the surface of the propagation medium and extend the space from one-dimensional to two-dimensional,…
Stellar space density analyses, once a very active area of astronomical research, involved transforming counts of stars to given limiting magnitudes in selected areas of the sky into graphs of the number of stars per cubic parsec as a…
Interaction of spiral density waves with stars in the vicinity of the inner Lindblad resonance in galactic discs is investigated using the linear perturbation theory and the leading orders in the epicyclic and WKB approximations. In analogy…
This is the second of two papers based on a systematic multi-wavelength (X, B, H, 12$\mu$m, FIR, 6cm) statistical analysis of the {\it Einstein Observatory Galaxy Catalog} sample of 234 `normal' S0/a-Irr galaxies. This sample is…
In recent years, interesting materials have emerged which are only available as micron-scale flakes, and whose novel physics might be better understood through broadband microwave spectroscopy; examples include twisted bilayer graphene [1],…
We consider cosmological applications of galaxy number density correlations to be inferred from future deep and wide multi-band optical surveys. We mostly focus on very large scales as a probe of possible features in the primordial power…
One of the key problems in star formation research is to determine the role of magnetic fields. Starting from the atomic inter-cloud medium (ICM) which has density nH ~ 1 per cubic cm, gas must accumulate from a volume several hundred pc…
In this research, formation of finite two-dimensional (2D) plasma crystals was numerically simulated. The structure was investigated for systems with various Debye length and it was found there is a transition from a complete hexagonal…
The lecture introduces a trous wavelet transforms, explains how to estimate the spatial density for galaxy distributions, and, finally, how to describe the morphology of cosmological density fields. An example application of these methods…
The problem of determining a current density confined to a volume from measurements of the magnetic field it produces exterior to that volume is known to have non-unique solutions. To uniquely determine the current density, or the…
Long-wavelength spin waves in disordered magnetic systems have been investigated. In the framework of the Heisenberg model with magnetic dipole and exchange interactions between spins it is found that an additional longitudinal spin wave…
The fields of view of Extremely Large Telescopes will contain vast numbers of spatial sampling elements (spaxels) as their Adaptive Optics systems approach the diffraction limit over wide fields. Since this will exceed the detection…
The study of stellar populations is a discipline that is highly dependent on both imaging and spectroscopy. I discuss techniques in different regimes of resolving power: broadband imaging (R~4), intermediate band imaging (R~16, 64),…
Inertial waves in convective regions of stars exhibit topological properties linked to a Chern number of 1. The first of these is a unique, unidirectional, prograde oscillation mode within the cavity, which propagates at arbitrarily low…
