Differential Microlensing Measurements Of Quasar Broad-Line Kinematics In Q2237+0305, Matthew J. O'Dowd, N F. Bate, R L. Webster, R Wayth

The detailed workings of the central engines of powerful quasars remain a mystery. This is primarily due to the fact that, at their cosmological distances, the inner regions of these quasars are spatially unresolvable. Reverberation mapping is now beginning to unlock the physics of the Broad Emission Line Region (BELR) in nearby, low-luminosity quasars, however it is still unknown whether this gas is dominated by virial motion, by outflows, or infall. The challenge is greater for more distant, powerful sources due to the very long response time of the BELR to changes in the continuum. We present a new technique …
Quantum Entanglement Of A Tunneling Spin With Mechanical Modes Of A Torsional Resonator, Dmitry A. Garanin, Eugene M. Chudnovsky
Quantum Entanglement Of A Tunneling Spin With Mechanical Modes Of A Torsional Resonator, Dmitry A. Garanin, Eugene M. Chudnovsky
Publications and Research
We solve Schr\"odinger equation describing a tunneling macrospin coupled to a torsional oscillator. Energy spectrum is studied for various quantum regimes. Magnetic susceptibility and noise spectrum are computed. We show that entanglement of the spin with mechanical modes of a subnanometer oscillator results in the decoherence of spin tunneling. For larger oscillators the presence of a tunneling spin can be detected through splitting of the mechanical mode at the resonance. Our results apply to experiments with magnetic molecules coupled to nanoresonators.
Quantum Tunneling Of The Interfaces Between Normal-Metal And Superconducting Regions Of A Type-I Pb Superconductor, Eugene M. Chudnovsky, S Velez, A Garcia-Santiago, J A. Hernandez
Quantum Tunneling Of The Interfaces Between Normal-Metal And Superconducting Regions Of A Type-I Pb Superconductor, Eugene M. Chudnovsky, S Velez, A Garcia-Santiago, J A. Hernandez
Publications and Research
Evidence of a non-thermal magnetic relaxation in the intermediate state of a type-I superconducor is presented. It is attributed to quantum tunneling of interfaces separating normal and superconducting regions. Tunneling barriers are estimated and temperature of the crossover from thermal to quantum regime is obtained from Caldeira-Leggett theory. Comparison between theory and experiment points to tunneling of interface segments of size comparable to the coherence length, by steps of order one nanometer.
Thermal Diffractive Corrections To Casimir Energies, Daniel N. Kabat, Dimitra Karabali
Thermal Diffractive Corrections To Casimir Energies, Daniel N. Kabat, Dimitra Karabali
Publications and Research
We study the interplay of thermal and diffractive effects in Casimir energies. We consider plates with edges, oriented either parallel or perpendicular to each other, as well as a single plate with a slit. We compute the Casimir energy at finite temperature using a formalism in which the diffractive effects are encoded in a lower dimensional non-local field theory that lives in the gap between the plates. The formalism allows for a clean separation between direct or geometric effects and diffractive effects, and makes an analytic derivation of the temperature dependence of the free energy possible. At low temperatures, with …

The Spitzer-SDSS-GALEX Spectroscopic Survey (SSGSS) provides a new sample of 101 star-forming galaxies at z < 0.2 with unprecedented multi-wavelength coverage. New mid- to far-infrared spectroscopy from the Spitzer Space Telescope is added to a rich suite of previous imaging and spectroscopy, including ROSAT, Galaxy Evolution Explorer, Sloan Digital Sky Survey, Two Micron All Sky Survey, and Spitzer/SWIRE. Sample selection ensures an even coverage of the full range of normal galaxy properties, spanning two orders of magnitude in stellar mass, color, and dust attenuation. In this paper we present the SSGSS data set, describe the science drivers, and detail the sample selection, observations, data reduction, and quality assessment. Also in this paper, we compare the shape of the thermal continuum and the degree of silicate absorption of these typical, star-forming galaxies to those of starburst galaxies. We investigate the link between star formation rate, infrared luminosity, and total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon luminosity, with a view to calibrating the latter for spectral energy distribution models in photometric samples and at high redshift. Last, we take advantage of the 5-40 micron spectroscopic and far-infrared photometric coverage of this sample to perform detailed fitting of the Draine et al. dust models, and investigate the link between dust mass and star formation history and active galactic nucleus properties.
