Newgrange Skyscape In Stellarium, Frank Prendergast

Articles

Newgrange Skyscape in Stellarium is a new customised landscape planetarium model giving the user the unique ability to interrogate the dynamic sky above the Boyne Valley on any date of interest during the hours of daylight or darkness. Archaeological, astronomical and topographical points of interest are labelled in the model and visible even during the hours of darkness. These are summarily described in a short gazetteer appended at the end of the instruction document to encourage further exploration of the wonderful heritage found in the Boyne Valley and beyond.

Particle Acceleration At The Discontinuous Flow Boundary Of Collimated Cylindrical Jets, Stephen O'Sullivan, Andrew M. Taylor, Brian Reville

Conference Papers

We revisit the issue of particle acceleration at the interface between a collimated laminar jet and a static ambient medium. The contrast between standard diffusive scattering treatments and anomalous transport in synthetic field constructions is explored. A particular emphasis is placed on the necessity for physically consistent particle transport considerations. The temporal, spatial and spectral features of the process are discussed, in the context of potential UHECR production, as well as further observational consequences.
