COSMOGRAIL: the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses XIII. Time delays and 9-yr optical monitoring of the lensed quasar RX J1131-1231

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Malte Tewes, Nicolas Cantale

We present the results from nine years of optically monitoring the gravitationally lensed z(QSO) = 0.658 quasar RX J1131-1231. The R-band light curves of the four individual images of the quasar were obtained using deconvolution photometry for a total of 7 ...

Oversampled Noisy Binary Image Sensor

Martin Vetterli, Feng Yang

We study the oversampled binary image sensor in [1] under noisy scenario. The binary image sensor is similar to traditional photographic film with pixel value equal to "0" or "1". The potential application of the oversampled binary image sensor is high dyn ...

Studies on the Effect of Strain on the Electronic Properties of Ultra Thin Films of Superconducting Cuprates

Nathaniel Wooding

High Tc superconductivity in cuprates is still an unresolved topic, and one particular challenge is why in-plane compressive strain enhances Tc in ultra thin LSCO-214 films (< 40nm), whilst tensile strain diminishes it. Especially intriguing is whether alt ...

Optical, structural, and morphological characterisation of epitaxial ZnO films grown by pulsed-laser deposition

Nicolas Grandjean, Raphaël Butté, Eric Feltin, Sylvain Nicolay, Denis Martin, Mauro Mosca, Corrado Cali

We report on ZnO epitaxial growth by pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) on different substrates, such as quartz, sapphire, and GaN template. Approximately 1 mu m-thick films were grown under different substrate temperatures and background oxygen conditions. X-r ...

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 ...

Bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane as Non-Chromophoric Ancillary Ligand for Charged Bis-Cyclometalated Iridium(III) Complexes

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Rosario Scopelliti, Davide Di Censo, Sheng Meng, Il Jung

New charged cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes Ir(ppy)2(L) [ppy = 2-phenylpyridine; L = bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane (for 1); L = bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methane (for 2)] were synthesized and their electrochemical and photophysical properties st ...

Searching for soft relativistic jets in core-collapse supernovae with the IceCube optical follow-up program

Matthias Wolf, Shirit Cohen, Mathieu Ribordy, Xiaoxia Bai

Context. Transient neutrino sources such as gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and supernovae (SNe) are hypothesized to emit bursts of high-energy neutrinos on a time-scale of less than or similar to 100 s. While GRB neutrinos would be produced in high relativistic j ...

Three Dimensional Microanalysis by Energy Dispersive Spectrometry

Pierre Burdet

This thesis is focused on a combined microscopy technique: energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) is extended to a three dimensional (3D) microanalysis using a so-called "dual-beam microscope": a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with a focused ion ...

Numerical simulations with a first-order BSSN formulation of Einstein's field equations

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

We present a new fully first-order strongly hyperbolic representation of the Baumgarte-Shapiro-Shibata-Nakamura formulation of Einstein's equations with optional constraint damping terms. We describe the characteristic fields of the system, discuss its hyp ...
