During the past decade or so, measurements of Galactic HI absorption using VLBI against extra-galactic sources, as well as multi-epoch observatios in pulsar directions, have detected small-scale transverse variations corresponding to tens…
Models of astrophysical dust are key to understand several physical processes, from the role of dust grains as cooling agents in the ISM to their evolution in dense circumstellar disks, explaining the occurrence of planetary systems around…
Small-Angle Scattering (SAS) investigates structures in samples that generally range from approximately 0.5 nm to a few 100 nm. This can both be done for isotropic samples such as blends and liquids, as well as anisotropic samples such as…
The dynamics of many macromolecular machines is characterized by chemically-mediated structural changes that achieve large scale functional deployment through local rearrangements of constitutive protein sub-units. Motivated by recent high…
The interaction between spins in coupled quantum dots is revealed in distinct fine structure patterns in the measured optical spectra of InAs/GaAs double quantum dot molecules containing zero, one, or two excess holes. The fine structure is…
Interstellar lines observed toward stellar targets change slowly over long timescales, mainly due to the proper motion of the background target relative to the intervening clouds. On longer timescales, the cloud's slowly changing physical…
It is most natural to assume that mysterious Small Ionized and Neutral Structures (SINS) indiffuse ISM arise from turbulence. There are two obvious problem with such an explanation, however. First of all, it is generally believed that at…
It is possible to distinguish ``intrinsic'' absorption systems (gas clouds within the quasar environment) from ``intervening'' systems (gas clouds unrelated to the quasar phenomenon) by considering certain observational properties. We find…
We analyze through molecular dynamics simulations of a Lennard-Jones binary mixture the statistics of the distances between inherent structures (IS) sampled at temperatures above the mode coupling transition temperature T_MCT. We take…
Attosecond transient-absorption spectroscopy (ATAS) is an established method for exploring electron dynamics on the subfemtosecond time-scale. ATAS spectra contain certain ubiquitous features, such as oscillating fringes, light-induced…
The structure function of opacity fluctuations is a useful statistical tool to study tiny scale structures of neutral hydrogen. Here we present high resolution observation of HI absorption towards 3C 138, and estimate the structure function…
Extreme scattering events (ESEs) in the interstellar medium (ISM) were first observed in regular flux measurements of compact extragalactic sources. They are characterized by a flux variation over a period of weeks, suggesting the passage…
We map the interstellar medium (ISM) including the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) in absorption toward the globular cluster NGC 6397 using VLT/MUSE. This pilot study demonstrates the power of MUSE for mapping the local ISM on very small…
Small-angle scattering (SAS) of X-rays, neutrons or light from ensembles of randomly oriented and placed deterministic fractal structures are studied theoretically. In the standard analysis, a very few parameters can be determined from SAS…
We create the first large-scale mock spectroscopic survey of gas absorption sightlines traversing the interstellar medium (ISM), circumgalactic medium (CGM), and intergalactic medium (IGM) surrounding galaxies of virtual Universes. That is,…
I review recent results derived from numerical simulations of the turbulent interstellar medium (ISM), in particular concerning the nature and formation of turbulent clouds, methods for comparing the structure in simulations and…
The lecture note consists of four parts. In the first part, we review a 2+1 dimensional lattice model which realizes emergent supersymmetry at a quantum critical point. The second part is devoted to a phenomenon called fractionalization…
Observations show that the ISM contains sub-structure on scales less than 1 pc, detected in the form of spatial and temporal variations in column densities or optical depth. Despite the number of detections, the nature and ubiquity of the…
We report multi-epoch VLA H I absorption observations of the source 1741-038 (OT-068) before and during an extreme scattering event (ESE). Observations at four epochs, three during the ESE, were obtained. We find no changes in the…
We have derived an analytical model for the postcollapse equilibrium structure of cosmological halos as nonsingular truncated isothermal spheres (TIS) and compared this model with observations and simulations of cosmological halos on all…
