Dust Production and Particle Acceleration in Supernova 1987A Revealed with ALMA
2013
Supernova (SN) explosions are crucial engines driving the evolution of galaxies by shock heating gas, increasing the metallicity, creating dust, and accelerating energetic particles. In 2012 we used the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array to observe SN 1987A, one of the best-observed supernovae since the invention of the telescope. We present spatially resolved images at 450um, 870um, 1.4mm, and 2.8mm, an important transition wavelength range. Longer wavelength emission is dominated by synchrotron radiation from shock-accelerated particles, shorter wavelengths by emission from the largest mass of dust measured in a supernova remnant (>0.2Msun). For the first time we show unambig…
Comparison of high‐speed optical observations of a lightning flash from space and the ground
2020
We analyze a nighttime negative cloud-to-ground lightning flash in Colombia observed from the ground with a high-speed camera at 5,000 images per second and from space by the Atmosphere-Space Interactions Monitor (ASIM) on the International Space Station (ISS), the Lightning Imaging Sensor also on the ISS (ISS-LIS), and the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) on GOES-16. The space instruments measure the oxygen band at 777.4 nm, allowing for direct comparisons of measurements, and the ground-based camera observes in a wide visible band. After conversion to energy emitted at the cloud top, we find a good linear correspondence of the optical energies measured by the three space instruments, …
Multivariate and Multiscale Complexity of Long-Range Correlated Cardiovascular and Respiratory Variability Series
2020
Assessing the dynamical complexity of biological time series represents an important topic with potential applications ranging from the characterization of physiological states and pathological conditions to the calculation of diagnostic parameters. In particular, cardiovascular time series exhibit a variability produced by different physiological control mechanisms coupled with each other, which take into account several variables and operate across multiple time scales that result in the coexistence of short term dynamics and long-range correlations. The most widely employed technique to evaluate the dynamical complexity of a time series at different time scales, the so-called multiscale …

Measured top quark pair production cross section in the different channels and the various averages, including the overall average.
What is the final state of a black hole merger?
2018
In this short paper we discuss the possibility of testing the nature of astrophysical black holes using the recently observed black hole mergers. We investigate the possibility that a secondary black hole is created in the merger of two astrophysical black holes and discuss potential astrophysical signatures. We point out that black hole mergers are a possible astrophysical mechanism for the creation of quantum black holes with masses close to the Planck mass.
"Table 5" of "Measurement of the $t\bar{t}Z$ and $t\bar{t}W$ cross sections in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector"
2019
The expected and observed 68% and 95% confidence intervals, which include the value 0, for $\mathcal{C}_{i}/\Lambda^{2}$ for the EFT coefficients $\mathcal{C}_{\phi Q}^{(3)}$, $\mathcal{C}_{\phi t}$, $\mathcal{C}_{tB}$ and $\mathcal{C}_{tW}$. The intervals for $\mathcal{C}_{\phi Q}^{(3)}$ are derived setting $\mathcal{C}_{\phi Q}^{(1)}$ to zero; the measurement is sensitive to the difference $\mathcal{C}_{\phi Q}^{(3)}-\mathcal{C}_{\phi Q}^{(1)}$. All results are given in units of 1/TeV$^{2}$. Limits from fits for the EFT coefficients with only the linear term are also shown.

List of relative uncertainties in the measured cross sections of the $t\bar{t}Z$ and $t\bar{t}W$ processes from the fit, grouped in categories. All uncertainties are symmetrized. The sum in quadrature may not be equal to the total due to correlations between uncertainties introduced by the fit.
