In deep inelastic neutral current scattering of positrons and protons at the center of mass energy of 300 GeV, we observe, with the ZEUS detector, events with a high energy neutron produced at very small scattering angles with respect to…
Prior to the detection of black holes (BHs) via the gravitational waves (GWs) they generate at merger, the presence of BHs was inferred in X-ray binaries, mostly via dynamical measurements, with masses in the range between $\sim…
We present a study of the stellar populations in the central ~ 200 pc of a large and homogeneous sample comprising 79 nearby galaxies, most of which are type 2 Seyferts. The star-formation history of these nuclei is reconstructed by means…
Calculations for infinite nuclear matter with realistic nucleon-nucleon interactions suggest that the isoscalar effective mass of a nucleon at the saturation density, m*/m, equals 0.8 +/- 0.1. This result is at variance with empirical data…
We present results from model fitting to the Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) of a homogeneous sample of Seyfert II galaxies drawn from the $12\mu$m Galaxy Sample. Imaging and nuclear flux measurements are presented in an accompanying…
We investigate the relationship between the linewidths of broad Mg II \lambda2800 and Hbeta in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) to refine them as tools to estimate black hole (BH) masses. We perform a detailed spectral analysis of a large…
The observed cross sections of quasi-elastic scattering of 6He, 7Be, and 8B nuclei by 12C nuclei are described within the framework of the diffraction nuclear model and the model of nucleus-nucleus scattering in the high-energy…
NGC 4395 is one of the least luminous and nearest known type 1 Seyfert galaxies, and it also lacks a bulge. We present an HST I-band image of its nuclear region and Keck high-resolution (8 km/s) echelle spectra containing the Ca II…
The (d,p) neutron transfer and (d,d) elastic scattering reactions were measured in inverse kinematics using a radioactive ion beam of 132Sn at 630 MeV. The elastic scattering data were taken in a region where Rutherford scattering dominated…
We have measured the mass diffusion coefficient D of 3He in superfluid 4He at temperatures lower than were previously possible. The experimental technique utilizes scintillation light produced when neutron react with 3He nuclei, and allows…
[abridged] We have assembled a database of stars having both masses determined from measured orbital dynamics and sufficient spectral and photometric information for their placement on a theoretical HR diagram. Our sample consists of 115…
The observations of optical and near-infrared counterparts of binary neutron star mergers not only enrich our knowledge about the abundance of heavy elements in the Universe, or help reveal the remnant object just after the merger as…
We investigated whether the two recently discovered nuclei in NGC7727 both host a super-massive black hole (SMBH). We used the high spatial resolution mode of the integral-field spectrograph MUSE on the VLT in adaptive optics mode to…
After the successful measurement of the mixing angle $\theta_{13}$, the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy has become a priority for future neutrino experiments. We propose a conventional $\nu_\mu$ beam with neutrino energies in…
By a proper choice of the excitation energy per nucleon we analyze the mass distributions of the nuclear fragmentation at various excitation energies. Starting from low energies (between 0.1 and 1 MeV/nucleon) up to higher energies about 12…
Results from an analysis of low resolution (R~250) near-IR long-slit spectra covering simultaneously the I, J, H, and K bands, for a sample of 15 Seyfert galaxies and the N5253 starburst nucleus, are presented. The Seyfert galaxies were…
In-medium nucleon electromagnetic form factors are calculated in the quark meson coupling model. The form factors are typically found to be suppressed as the density increases. For example, at normal nuclear density and $Q^2 \sim 0.3 {…
We report on measurements of neutrino oscillation using data from the T2K long-baseline neutrino experiment collected between 2010 and 2013. In an analysis of muon neutrino disappearance alone, we find the following estimates and 68%…
We investigate the interactions of large composite dark matter (DM) states with the Standard Model (SM) sector. Elastic scattering with SM nuclei can be coherently enhanced by factors as large as A^2, where A is the number of constituents…
A systematic search for 22 GHz H2O megamaser emission is reported for 50 nearby (z < 0.15) FR I galaxies. No detection was obtained, implying that ultraluminous H2O masers (L_H2O>10^3 L_sun) must be rare in early-type galaxies with FR I…
