Superstable Manifolds Of Invariant Circles, Scott R. Kaschner May 2013

Superstable Manifolds Of Invariant Circles, Scott R. Kaschner

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

Let f : XX be a dominant meromorphic self-map, where X is a compact, connected complex manifold of dimension n > 1. Suppose there is an embedded copy of P1 that is invariant under f, with f holomorphic and transversally superattracting with degree a in some neighborhood. Suppose also that f restricted to this line is given by zzb, with resulting invariant circle S. We prove that if a ≥ b, then the local stable manifold Wsloc(S) is real analytic. In fact, we state and prove a suitable localized version that can …

Five solar system minor planets were measured photometrically between 2012 October and December using the SARA (Southeastern Association for Research in Astronomy) telescopes located in Kitt Peak National Observatory in USA and Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. The following synodic periods were found: 782 Montefiore P = 4.0728 ± 0.0006 h; 3842 Harlansmith, P = 2.7938 ± 0.0005 h; 5542 Moffatt P = 5.187 ± 0.001 h; 6720 Gifu, P = 4.231 ± 0.001 h; and (19979) 1989 VJ, P = 7.568 ± 0.005 h.

We present rotation periods of four asteroids: 1660 Wood, 7173 Sepkoski, 12738 Satoshimiki, and (23233) 2000 WM72. The observations were undertaken using the SARA (Southeastern Association for Research in Astronomy) South telescope, located in Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile, from 2011 December to 2012 April. The following synodic periods were found: 1660 Wood, P = 6.8088 ± 0.0002 h; 7173 Sepkoski, P = 2.44 ± 0.02 h; 12738 Satoshimiki, P = 8.708 ± 0.001 h; and (23233) 2000 WM72, P = 3.732 ± 0.003 h.
