Photoelectron-holography using circularly polarized light
1999
Abstract Circular dichroism in the angular distribution of photoelectrons (CDAD) is not only observed from aligned initial states, but also as a consequence of the scattering of photoelectrons at the surrounding atoms in a solid or an adsorbate. Using the analytical result for the CDAD, we show that it is an integral transformation of the product of the angular momentum of the emitted electron and the Fourier-transformed scattering potential of the surrounding atoms. Therefore, we interpret the CDAD pattern as photoelectron-hologram. The real space distribution of atoms can be reconstructed by an inverse integral transformation of the CDAD pattern, which carries the full phase-information. …
Investigation of the orientation of galaxies in clusters: the importance, methods and results of research
2018
Various models of structure formation can account for various aspects of the galaxy formation process on different scales, as well as for various observational features of structures. Thus, the investigation of galaxies orientation constitute a standard test of galaxies formation scenarios since observed variations in angular momentum represent fundamental constraints for any model of galaxy formation. We have improved the method of analysis of the alignment of galaxies in clusters. Now, the method allowed analysis both position angles of galaxy major axes and two angles describing the spatial orientation of galaxies. The distributions of analyzed angles were tested for isotropy by applying…
Examining the N=28 shell closure through high-precision mass measurements of Ar46–48
2020
The strength of the $N=28$ magic number in neutron-rich argon isotopes is examined through high-precision mass measurements of $^{46\text{--}48}\mathrm{Ar}$, performed with the ISOLTRAP mass spectrometer at ISOLDE/CERN. The new mass values are up to 90 times more precise than previous measurements. While they suggest the persistence of the $N=28$ shell closure for argon, we show that this conclusion has to be nuanced in light of the wealth of spectroscopic data and theoretical investigations performed with the SDPF-U phenomenological shell model interaction. Our results are also compared with ab initio calculations using the valence space in-medium similarity renormalization group and the s…
Luminosity function for galaxy clusters
2014
AbstractWe constructed and studied the luminosity function of 6188 galaxy clusters. This was performed by counting brightness of galaxies belonging to clusters in the PF catalogue, taking galaxy data from MRSS. Our result shows that the investigated structures are characterized by a luminosity function different from that of optical galaxies and radiogalaxies (Machalski & Godłowski 2000). The implications of this result for theories of galaxy formation are briefly discussed.
Correlation between the spatial distribution of circumstellar disks and massive stars in the young open cluster NGC 6611
2009
Context: the observations of the proplyds in the Orion Nebula Cluster, showing clear evidence of ongoing photoevaporation, have provided a clear proof about the role of the externally induced photoevaporation in the evolution of circumstellar disks. NGC 6611 is an open cluster suitable to study disk photoevaporation, thanks to its large population of massive members and of stars with disk. In a previous work, we obtained evidence of the influence of the strong UV field generated by the massive cluster members on the evolution of disks around low-mass Pre-Main Sequence members. That work was based on a multi-band BVIJHK and X-ray catalog purposely compiled to select the cluster members with …
Redshifts of southern clusters. II
1991
New redshifts are given for 21 clusters of galaxies from the Abell, Corwin, and Olowin Rich Cluster Catalogue. The redshift of the brightest cluster galaxy - where the brightest member is brighter than 15.5 - is employed as an indicator of the mean cluster redshift. The redshifts of first-, second-, and third-ranked galaxies are shown to agree, confirming the value of the survey procedure, although some clusters require more information than simply the redshift of the brightest cluster. 7 refs.
Collinear two-photon excitation of indium rydberg states in a fast atomic beam
1986
The 29p-Rydberg state of neutral indium was produced by double resonant two-photon excitation in a fast atomic beam and detected via field ionization in a longitudinal electric field.
Parallel Calculation of CCSD and CCSD(T) Analytic First and Second Derivatives.
2007
In this paper we present a parallel adaptation of a highly efficient coupled-cluster algorithm for calculating coupled-cluster singles and doubles (CCSD) and coupled-cluster singles and doubles augmented by a perturbative treatment of triple excitations (CCSD(T)) energies, gradients, and, for the first time, analytic second derivatives. A minimal-effort strategy is outlined that leads to an amplitude-replicated, communication-minimized implementation by parallelizing the time-determining steps for CCSD and CCSD(T). The resulting algorithm is aimed at affordable cluster architectures consisting of compute nodes with sufficient memory and local disk space and that are connected by standard co…
A comparison of density-functional-theory and coupled-cluster frequency-dependent polarizabilities and hyperpolarizabilities
2005
The frequency-dependent polarizabilities and hyperpolarizabilities of HF, CO, H2O and para-nitroaniline calculated by density-functional theory are compared with accurate coupled-cluster results. Whereas the local-density approximation and the generalized gradient approximation (BLYP) perform very similarly and overestimate polarizabilities and, in particular, the hyperpolarizabilities, hybrid density-functional theory (B3LYP) performs better and produces results similar to those obtained by coupled-cluster singles-and-doubles theory. Comparisons are also made for singlet excitation energies, calculated using linear response theory.
Development of the Dipole Moment and Polarizability Operators of Octahedral Molecules
1999
We present a development of the dipole moment and polarizability operators of octahedral molecules, using a tensorial formalism analogous to the one developed for tetrahedral molecules. These operators are involved in the calculation of the intensities of rovibrational transitions as well as in the calculation of the Stark effect. Expressions for the matrix elements are derived. Two simplified models for the study of the Stark effect in such molecules are also proposed and discussed. Copyright 1999 Academic Press.
