Density-Valued Solutions For The Boltzmann-Enskog Process, Christian Ennis, Barbara Rüdiger, Padmanabhan Sundar

Faculty Publications

The time evolution of a moderately dense gas evolving in vacuum described by the Boltzmann-Enskog equation is studied. The associated stochastic process, the Boltzmann-Enskog process, was constructed in [1] and further studied in [12, 13]. The process is given by the solution of a McKean-Vlasov equation driven by a Poisson random measure with the compensator depending on the distribution of the solution [1, 12]. The existence of a marginal probability density function at each time for the measure-valued solution is established in this article by using a functional-analytic criterion on Besov spaces [8, 11]. In addition to existence, the density …

(Figure presented) In Fig. 4, the X-ray hardness value for observation 8 was plotted using a count-based ratio instead of the energy-flux-based ratio used for other points in the figure. The correction of the position of this point in Fig. 4 does not affect any other figures, results, or conclusions in the paper.

Easyspec: An Open-Source Python Package For Long-Slit Spectroscopy, Raniere De Menezes, Francesco Massaro, Michela Negro, Claudia M. Raiteri, Harold Peña-Herazo, Jose A. Acosta-Pulido

Faculty Publications

In modern-day astronomy, near-infrared, optical, and ultraviolet spectroscopy are indispensable for studying a wide range of phenomena, from measuring black hole masses to analyzing chemical abundances in stellar atmospheres. However, spectroscopic data reduction is often performed using instrument-specific pipelines or legacy software well-established and robust within the community that are often challenging to implement and script in modern astrophysical workflows. In this work, we introduce easyspec, a new Python package designed for long-slit spectroscopy, capable of reducing, extracting, and analyzing spectra from a wide range of instruments—provided they deliver raw FITS files, the standard format for most optical telescopes worldwide. …

Sub-Gev Dark Matter And Mev Gamma-Ray Detection With Cosi, Yu Watanabe, Shigeki Matsumoto, Christopher M. Karwin, Tom Melia, Michela Negro, Thomas Siegert, Yuki Watanabe, Hiroki Yoneda, Tadayuki Takahashi

Faculty Publications

Sub-GeV dark matter (DM) has been attracting more attention due to the negative results searching for traditional weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). Such particles are expected to produce gamma rays from annihilation in the MeV energy region. Advancements in technology have opened up possibilities to precisely detect MeV gamma rays, leading to the upcoming space-based mission of the Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI). We comprehensively and quantitatively study the phenomenology of sub-GeV DM to determine if the COSI observations will probe their viable model parameter regions. We first construct models to describe sub-GeV DM based on the minimality and renormalizability …

Phase-Amplitude Separation Of Wave Function As Local Gauge Transformation, A. R.P. Rau

Faculty Publications

A quantum-mechanical wave function is complex, but all observations are real, expressible through expectation values and transition matrix elements that involve the wave functions. It can be useful to separate at the outset the amplitude and phase as real quantities that together carry the same information that is contained in the complex wave function. Two main avenues for doing so go way back in the history of the subject and have been used both for scattering and bound states. A connection is made here to gauge transformations of electrodynamics where the advent of quantum mechanics and later quantum field theory …
