Nucleosynthesis And The Inhomogeneous Chemical Evolution Of The Carina Dwarf Galaxy

The detailed abundances of 23 chemical elements in nine bright red giant branch stars in the Carina dwarf spheroidal galaxy are presented based on high-resolution spectra gathered at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) and Magellan telescopes. A spherical model ...

Further Evidence That Quasar X-Ray Emitting Regions Are Compact: X-Ray And Optical Microlensing In The Lensed Quasar Q J0158-4325

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Malte Tewes

We present four new seasons of optical monitoring data and six epochs of X-ray photometry for the doubly imaged lensed quasar Q J0158-4325. The high-amplitude, short-period microlensing variability for which this system is known has historically precluded ...

Investigations of quench limits of the LHC superconducting magnets

Minh Quang Tran, Bernd Dehning, Agnieszka Priebe

NbTi-based Rutherford cables are used in the coils of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) magnets. These cables are designed to operate with currents up to 13 kA at temperatures of 1.9 K. Beam losses can locally heat the superconducting cables above the critic ...

The first observation of the decay B-0 -> (D) over bar (0) K+ K- is reported from an analysis of 0.62 fb(-1) of pp collision data collected with the LHCb detector. Its branching fraction is measured relative to that of the topologically similar decay B-0 - ...

Study of the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy from the DART Ca ii triplet survey star

Pascale Jablonka

We use Very Large Telescope (VLT)/Fibre Large Array Multi Element Spectrograph (FLAMES) intermediate-resolution (R similar to 6500) spectra of individual red giant branch stars in the near-infrared Ca ii triplet (CaT) region to investigate the wide-area me ...

Study of the twinned dendrite tip shape I : Phase-field modeling

Michel Rappaz, Jean-Luc Desbiolles, Mario Alberto Salgado Ordorica

The growth kinetics advantage of twinned aluminum dendrites over regular ones is still an unsolved problem of solidification. Although it is linked to the tip geometry, the influence of a coherent (1 1 1) twin plane on a < 1 1 0 > twinned dendrite tip is u ...

The NIR Ca II triplet at low metallicity Searching for extremely low-metallicity stars in classical dwarf galaxies

Pascale Jablonka, Martin Tafelmeyer

The NIR Ca II triplet absorption lines have proven to be an important tool for quantitative spectroscopy of individual red giant branch stars in the Local Group, providing a better understanding of metallicities of stars in the Milky Way and dwarf galaxies ...

Dust-Obscured Star Formation In Intermediate Redshift Galaxy Clusters

Pascale Jablonka

We present Spitzer MIPS 24 mu m observations of sixteen 0.4 < z < 0.8 galaxy clusters drawn from the ESO Distant Cluster Survey. This is the first large 24 mu m survey of clusters at intermediate redshift. The depth of our imaging corresponds to a total IR ...

Resolving The Stellar Outskirts Of M81: Evidence For A Faint, Extended Structural Component

Pascale Jablonka

We present a wide field census of resolved stellar populations in the northern half of M81, conducted with Suprime-Cam on the 8 m Subaru telescope and covering an area similar to 0.3 deg(2). The resulting color-magnitude diagram reaches over one magnitude ...
