This paper reports the first observation of the Jacobi shape transition in $^{31}$P using high energy $\gamma$-rays from the decay of giant dipole resonance (GDR) as a probe. The measured GDR spectrum in the decay of $^{31}$P shows a…
Strong residual correlations between neutrons and protons in N ~ Z systems can lead to unusual structure. Using the spherical shell model, we show that a low-excitation shape isomer can occur in the odd-odd N=Z nucleus 66As. This extends…

We investigate the orbital structure of a model triaxial star cluster, centered around a supermassive black hole (BH), appropriate to galactic nuclei. Sridhar and Touma (1999) proved that the presence of the BH enforces some regularity in…
