The bulk flow velocity for the cluster of interstellar cloudlets within about 30 pc of the Sun is determined from optical and ultraviolet absorption line data, after omitting from the sample stars with circumstellar disks or variable…
The interpretation of stellar apparent fundamental parameters must be treated consistently with the characteristics of their surface rotation law. We develop a model to determine the distribution of the effective temperature and gravity,…
The WISE satellite surveyed the entire sky multiple times in four infrared wavelengths (3.4, 4.6, 12, and $22\,\mu$m; Wright et al. 2010). The unprecedented combination of coverage area and depth gives us the opportunity to measure the…
We present a first-principles method for the calculation of optical excitations in nanosystems. The method is based on solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) for neutral excitations. The electron self-energy is evaluated within the GW…
Starting from the Kubo formula we calculate the shear viscosity in hot phi**4 theory nonperturbatively by resumming ladders with a real-time version of the Bethe-Salpeter equation at finite temperature. In the weak coupling limit, the…
The recently-finished Edinburgh UVX quasar survey at B < 18 is used together with other complete samples to estimate the shape and evolution of the optical luminosity function in the redshift range 0.3 < z < 2.2. There is a significantly…
We study a class of second-order elliptic equations of divergence form, with discontinuous coefficients and data, which models the conductivity problem in composite materials. We establish optimal gradient estimates by showing the explicit…
We present a galaxy circular velocity function, Psi(log v), derived from existing luminosity functions and luminosity-velocity relations. Such a velocity function is desirable for several reasons. First, it enables an objective comparison…
Two new sum rules were recently discovered by Le Yaouanc et al. by applying the operator product expansion to the nonforward matrix element of a time-ordered product of $b \to c$ currents in the heavy-quark limit of QCD. They lead to the…
We determine the CKM matrix element |Vcb| using a sample of 3.33 million BBbar events in the CLEO detector at CESR. We determine the yield of reconstructed B --> D*+ l nu decays as a function of w = v_B . v_D*, and from this we obtain the…
We propose and investigate a method for identifying timescales of dissipation in nonequilibrium steady states modeled as discrete-state Markov jump processes. The method is based on how the irreversibility-measured by the statistical…
The calculation of the point vortex velocity probability distribution function (vvpdf) is extended to a larger class of systems beyond the nonconserved TDGL model treated earlier. The range is extended to include certain anisotropic models…
Weak gravitational lensing provides a unique method to directly measure the distribution of mass in the universe. Because the distortions induced by lensing in the shape of background galaxies are small, the measurement of weak lensing…
Using 7.33 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected by the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies between 4.128 and 4.226~GeV, we observe for the first time the decay $D^{\pm}_s\to \omega\pi^{\pm}\eta$ with a statistical…
We analyze six X-ray bright elliptical galaxies, observed with Chandra and XMM-Newton, and approximate their gravitational potentials by isothermal spheres phi(r)=v_c^2 ln(r) over a range of radii from ~0.5 to ~25 kpc. We then compare the…
We exactly solve the ferromagnetic spin-1/2 Ising model on the Bethe lattice in the presence of an external magnetic field by means of the equations of motion method within the Green's function formalism. In particular, such an approach is…
We study quasi-elastic rescattering effects in B_{u,d,s}(bar) to DP, D(bar)P decays, where P is a light pseudoscalar. The updated measurements of B_{u,d}(bar) to DP decays are used to extract the effective Wilson coefficients a^{eff}_1 ~…
In light of the recent experimental results on decays $B^+ \to f_X(1300) K^+$ and $B^{\pm(0)} \to J/\psi K_X^{*\pm(0)}(1430)$ from Belle, we study the $B \to P(V) S$ type decays, $B^{\pm(0)} \to f_0(1370) K^{\pm(0)}$ and $B^{\pm(0)} \to…
We show the effectiveness of using the procedure of the potential reconstruction (the V-method) in the estimation of the transition redshift corresponding to switch from deceleration to acceleration phase of the Universe. We investigate the…
In order to analyse results for structure functions, $S_n(r)$, we propose plotting the ratio $|S_n(r)/S_3(r)|$ against the separation $r$. This method differs from the extended self-similarity (ESS) technique, which plots $S_n(r)$ against…
