Do the majority of stars form as gravitationally unbound?

Context. Some of the youngest stars (age less than or similar to 10 Myr) are clustered, while many others are observed scattered throughout star forming regions or in complete isolation. It has been intensively debated whether such scattered or isolated st ...

Modeling the Ga/As binary system across temperatures and compositions from first principles

Michele Ceriotti, Giulio Imbalzano

Materials composed of elements from the third and fifth columns of the periodic table display a very rich behavior, with the phase diagram usually containing a metallic liquid phase and a polar semiconducting solid. As a consequence, it is very hard to ach ...

Spectroscopic Orbits Of Three Dwarf Barium Stars

Pierre North

Barium stars are thought to result from binary evolution in systems wide enough to allow the more massive component to reach the asymptotic giant branch and eventually become a CO white dwarf. While Ba stars were initially known only among giant or subgian ...

Barium and related stars, and their white-dwarf companions

Pierre North, Shreeya Sushil Shetye

Barium (Ba) dwarfs and CH subgiants are the less evolved analogues of Ba and CH giants. They are F- to G-type main-sequence stars polluted with heavy elements by their binary companions when the companion was on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB). This comp ...

Sufficient Cause Interaction for Time-to-event Outcomes

Mats Julius Stensrud, Pal Christie Ryalen

Methods to assess sufficient cause interactions are well developed for binary outcomes. We extend these methods to handle time-to-event outcomes, which occur frequently in medicine and epidemiology. Based on theory for marginal structural models in continu ...

Molecular gas properties of a lensed star-forming galaxy at z similar to 3.6: a case study

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement, Johan Richard

We report on the galaxy MACSJ0032-arc at z(CO) = 3.6314 discovered during the Herschel Lensing snapshot Survey of massive galaxy clusters, and strongly lensed by the cluster MACSJ0032.1+1808. The successful detections of its rest-frame ultraviolet (UV), op ...

The fundamental plane of EDisCS galaxies The effect of size evolution

Pascale Jablonka

We study the evolution of spectral early-type galaxies in clusters, groups, and the field up to redshift 0.9 using the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EDisCS) dataset. We measure structural parameters (circularized half-luminosity radii R-e, surface brightness ...

Deep optical spectroscopy of extended Ly alpha emission around three radio-quiet z=4.5 quasars

Frédéric Courbin, Pierre North, Alexander Patrick Eigenbrod

We report the first results of a spectroscopic search for Ly alpha envelopes around three z similar to 4.5 radio-quiet quasars. Our observational strategy adopts the FORS2 spectrograph mounted to the UT1 of the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in the multi-slit ...

Phases of granular segregation in a binary mixture

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

We present results from an extensive experimental investigation into granular segregation of a shallow binary mixture in which particles are driven by frictional interactions with the surface of a vibrating horizontal tray. Three distinct phases of the mix ...
