This paper presents a clustering approach that allows for rigorous statistical error control similar to a statistical test. We develop estimators for both the unknown number of clusters and the clusters themselves. The estimators depend on…
The relationship between the X-ray determined temperature $T$ of the intracluster gas and the optical measured velocity dispersion $\sigma$ of the cluster galaxies is often believed to be not only a straightforward but also robust test for…
The temperature increase in the contact regions between solids in sliding contact has a huge influence on friction and wear. Here we test an analytical theory for the flash temperature, valid for randomly rough surface with multiscale…
The observed luminosity -- temperature relation of clusters is considerably steeper than that expected from a simple scaling relation. Although extra energy input is a likely solution, its source has not been identified. We propose…
An atlas of gas temperature maps is presented for a flux limited catalog of galaxy clusters. The sample of clusters is based on the Edge et al. (1990) sample, with the inclusion of five additional clusters, all with fluxes f_X(2-10 keV)>=…
The measurement of present-day temperature of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), $T_0 = 2.72548 \pm 0.00057$ K (1$\sigma$), made by the Far-InfraRed Absolute Spectrophotometer (FIRAS), is one of the most precise measurements ever made…
In gaussian theories of structure formation, the galaxy cluster abundance is an extremely sensitive probe of the density fluctuation power spectrum and of the density parameter, $\Omega$. We develop this theme by deriving and studying in…
We estimate the critical capacity of the zero-temperature Hopfield model by using a novel and rigorous method. The probability of having a stable fixed point is one when $\alpha\le 0.113$ for a large number of neurons. This result is an…
We study trace estimators for equilibrium thermodynamic observables that rely on the idea of typicality and derivatives thereof such as the finite-temperature Lanczos method (FTLM). As numerical examples quantum spin systems are studied.…
Local temperature defined by a local canonical state of the respective subsystem, does not always exist in quantum many body systems. Here, we give some examples of how this breakdown of the temperature concept on small length scales might…
We examine the relationship between the mass and x-ray gas temperature of galaxy clusters using data drawn from the literature. Simple theoretical arguments suggest that the mass of a cluster is related to the x-ray temperature as $M…
We forecast the constraints on the values of sigma_8, Omega_m, and cluster scaling relation parameters which we expect to obtain from the XMM Cluster Survey (XCS). We assume a flat Lambda-CDM Universe and perform a Monte Carlo Markov Chain…
We use semi-analytic models of structure formation to interpret gravitational lensing measurements of substructure in galaxy cluster cores (R<=250kpc/h) at z=0.2. The dynamic range of the lensing-based substructure fraction measurements is…
Weak gravitational lensing provides a direct way to study the mass distribution of clusters of galaxies at large radii. Unfortunately, large scale structure along the line of sight also contributes to the lensing signal, and consequently…
Strongly interacting, dilute Fermi gases exhibit a scale-invariant, universal thermodynamic behaviour. This is notoriously difficult to understand theoretically because of the absence of a small interaction parameter. Here we present a…
We investigate the localization and clustering features in $^{20}$Ne ($N=Z$) and neutron-rich $^{32}$Ne nuclei at zero and finite temperatures. The finite temperature Hartree-Bogoliubov theory is used with the relativistic density-dependent…
