Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy of Submillimeter Galaxies: Extended Star Formation in Massive High Redshift Galaxies
We used the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) to study the mid-IR properties and investigate the energetics of 24 Submillimeter Galaxies (SMGs). This is the largest sample of SMGs observed with Spitzer IRS and covers the ... -
Modeling the evolution of infrared luminous galaxies: the influence of the Luminosity-Temperature distribution
The evolution of the luminous infrared galaxy population is explored using a pure luminosity evolution model which incorporates the locally observed luminosity-temperature distribution for IRAS galaxies. Pure luminosity ... -
Molecular Gas in Submillimetre-Faint, Star-Forming Ultraluminous Galaxies at z>1
[abridged] We present interferometric CO observations of twelve z~2 submillimetre-faint, star-forming radio galaxies (SFRGs) which are thought to be ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) possibly dominated by warmer ... -
Monodisperse domains by proteolytic control of the coarsening instability
The coarsening instability typically disrupts steady-state cluster-size distributions. We show that degradation coupled to the cluster size, such as arising from biological proteolysis, leads to a fixed-point cluster size. ... -

Most Submillimetre Galaxies are Major Mergers
We analyse subarcsecond resolution interferometric CO line data for twelve sub-millimetre-luminous (S850um > 5mJy) galaxies with redshifts between 1 and 3, presenting new data for four of them. Morphologically and kinematically ... -
Motion of a point dipole in an infinite hole through a superconductor
The authors consider the system of a magnetic point dipole placed in an infinite square hole through a superconductor. Using the method of images they obtain the potential and the field distribution in the hollow. Using ... -

The nature of a gravitationally lensed sub-millimetre arc in MS0451.6-0305: two interacting galaxies at z~2.9?
We present a new SCUBA image of the cluster MS0451.6-0305, which exhibits strong, extended sub-mm flux at 850 microns. The most striking feature in the map is an elongated region of bright sub-mm emission, with a flux ... -
The nature of the bright submillimeter galaxy population: a radio pre-selected sample with I>25
Deep submillimetre surveys have successfully detected distant, star-forming galaxies, enshrouded in vast quantities of dust and which emit most of their energy at far infrared wavelengths. These luminous galaxies are an ... -
Near-IR adaptive optics imaging of nuclear spiral structure in the Seyfert galaxy, NGC3227
We present high spatial resolution, near-IR images in J, H, K of the nucleus of NGC3227, obtained with the Adaptive Optics bonnette on CFHT. The ~0.15 arcsec (17pc) resolution allows structures to be probed in the core ... -
Negative electron-electron drag between narrow quantum Hall channels
Momentum transfer due to Coulomb interaction between two parallel, two-dimensional, narrow, and spatially separated layers, when a current Idrive is driven through one layer, is studied in the presence of a perpendicular ... -
News from the Galactic suburbia: the chemical composition of the remote globular cluster NGC 2419
We present the chemical analysis of 49 giant stars of the globular cluster NGC 2419, using medium resolution spectra collected with the multi-object spectrograph DEIMOS@Keck. Previous analysis of this cluster revealed a ... -

Non Axi-symmetric Anisotropy of Solar Wind Turbulence
A key prediction of turbulence theories is frame-invariance, and in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence, axisymmetry of fluctuations with respect to the background magnetic field. Paradoxically the power in fluctuations ... -

Nonlocal exchange energy of many-fermion systems of arbitrary dimensionality and interparticle interaction
The exchange contributions to the ground-state energy of an inhomogeneous many-fermion system of arbitrary dimensionality are calculated. Explicit results are given for both the local-density approximation and the lowest-order ...
