13C NMR, 1H NMR and IR spectra of a series of monochloroesters of aliphatic short chain carboxylic acids
1981
Abstract 13 C chemical shifts for 14 isomeric monochloroesters of aliphatic carboxylic acids from propanoic acid to hexanoic acid have been determined. Comparisons are made with the literature values for methyl monochloro-octanoate isomers. Substituent effects for all positions are given. Characteristic IR absorption bands are presented and comparisons are made with regard to the isomeric structure. Connections are suggested between observed trends in IR absorption frequencies and some “abnormal” chlorine substituent effects on 13 C chemical shifts. 1 H NMR spectra of these compounds are considered.

Evidence for a resonant cyclotron line in IGR J16493-4348 from the Swift-BAT hard X-ray survey
2012
Resonant absorption cyclotron features are a key diagnostic tool to directly measure the strength of the magnetic field of accreting neutron stars. However, typical values for cyclotron features lie in the high-energy part of the spectrum between 20 keV and 50 keV, where detection is often damped by the low statistics from single pointed observations. We show that long-term monitoring campaign performed with Swift-BAT of persistently, but faint, accreting high-mass X-ray binaries is able to reveal in their spectra the presence of cyclotron features. We extracted the average Swift-BAT 15-150 keV spectrum from the 54 months long Swift-BAT survey of the high-mass X-ray source IGR J16493-4348. …
TANAMI: tracking active galactic nuclei with austral milliarcsecond interferometry
2010
We introduce the TANAMI program (Tracking Active Galactic Nuclei with Austral Milliarcsecond Interferometry) which is monitoring an initial sample of 43 extragalactic jets located south of -30 degrees declination at 8.4 GHz and 22 GHz since 2007. All aspects of the program are discussed. First epoch results at 8.4 GHz are presented along with physical parameters derived therefrom. We present first epoch images for 43 sources, some observed for the first time at milliarcsecond resolution. Parameters of these images as well as physical parameters derived from them are also presented and discussed. These and subsequent images from the TANAMI survey are available at http://pulsar.sternwarte.uni…
The influence of the magnetic field on the spectral properties of blazars
2013
We explore the signature imprinted by dynamically relevant magnetic fields on the spectral energy distribution (SED) of blazars. It is assumed that the emission from these sources originates from the collision of cold plasma shells, whose magnetohydrodynamic evolution we compute by numerically solving Riemann problems. We compute the SEDs including the most relevant radiative processes and scan a broad parameter space that encompasses a significant fraction of the commonly accepted values of not directly measurable physical properties. We reproduce the standard double hump SED found in blazar observations for unmagnetized shells, but show that the prototype double hump structure of blazars …
LOFAR measures the hotspot advance speed of the high-redshift blazar S5 0836+710
2019
Our goal is to study the termination of an AGN jet in the young universe and to deduce physical parameters of the jet and the intergalactic medium. We use LOFAR to image the long-wavelength radio emission of the high-redshift blazar S5 0836+710 on arcsecond scales between 120 MHz and 160 MHz. The LOFAR image shows a compact unresolved core and a resolved emission region about 1.5 arcsec to the southwest of the radio core. This structure is in general agreement with previous higher-frequency radio observations with MERLIN and the VLA. The southern component shows a moderately steep spectrum with a spectral index of about $\gtrsim -1$ while the spectral index of the core is flat to slightly i…
Hydrodynamic simulations unravel the progenitor-supernova-remnant connection in SN 1987A
2019
(Abridged) We aim at linking the dynamical and radiative properties of the remnant of SN 1987A to the geometrical and physical characteristics of the parent aspherical SN explosion and to the internal structure of its progenitor star. We performed 3D hydrodynamic simulations which describe the long-term evolution of SN 1987A from the onset of the SN to the full-fledged remnant at the age of 50 years, accounting for the pre-SN structure of the progenitor star. The simulations include all physical processes relevant for the complex phases of SN evolution and for the interaction of the SNR with the highly inhomogeneous ambient environment around SN 1987A. From the simulations, we synthesize ob…
EINSTEIN–PLANCK FORMULA, EQUIVALENCE PRINCIPLE, AND BLACK HOLE RADIANCE
2005
The presence of gravity implies corrections to the Einstein-Planck formula $E=h \nu$. This gives hope that the divergent blueshift in frequency, associated to the presence of a black hole horizon, could be smoothed out for the energy. Using simple arguments based on Einstein's equivalence principle we show that this is only possible if a black hole emits, in first approximation, not just a single particle, but thermal radiation.
Interacting dark energy in a closed universe
2020
Recent measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Anisotropies power spectra measured by the Planck satellite show a preference for a closed universe at more than $99 \%$ Confidence Level. Such a scenario is however in disagreement with several low redshift observables, including luminosity distances of Type Ia Supernovae. Here we show that Interacting Dark Energy (IDE) models can ease the discrepancies between Planck and Supernovae Ia data in a closed Universe. Therefore IDE cosmologies remain as very appealing scenarios, as they can provide the solution to a number of observational tensions in different fiducial cosmologies. The results presented here strongly favour broader analyses of cosmolo…
Cosmological waveguides for gravitational waves
1997
We study the linearized equations describing the propagation of gravitational waves through dust. In the leading order of the WKB approximation, dust behaves as a non-dispersive, non-dissipative medium. Taking advantage of these features, we explore the possibility that a gravitational wave from a distant source gets trapped by the gravitational field of a long filament of galaxies of the kind seen in the large scale structure of the Universe. Such a waveguiding effect may lead to a huge magnification of the radiation from distant sources, thus lowering the sensitivity required for a successful detection of gravitational waves by detectors like VIRGO, LIGO and LISA.
