Clustering algorithms have evolved to handle more and more complex structures. However, measures allowing to qualify the quality of such partitions are rare and only specic to certain algorithms. In this work, we propose a new cluster validity measure (CVM ...
We present the Spitzer-IRAC/MIPS Extragalactic survey (SIMES) in the South Ecliptic Pole field. The large area covered (7.7 deg(2)), together with one of the lowest Galactic cirrus emissions in the entire sky and a very extensive coverage by Spitzer, Hersc ...
Context. Although several attempts have been made to identify solar-type members on the main sequence of the nearby open cluster Coma Berenices (Mel 111), the population of the lower main sequence is still poorly known. ...
We studied using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy the deposition of Au, In, Ag and Al overlayers onto clean-cleaved GaTe(001) surfaces at room temperature. The first steps of the Schottky barrier formation on Au and In showed no interface reactions. Free T ...
SPIDERS (The SPectroscopic IDentification of eROSITA Sources) is a programme dedicated to the homogeneous and complete spectroscopic follow-up of X-ray active galactic nuclei and galaxy clusters over a large area (similar to 7500 deg(2)) of the extragalact ...
Due to high scaling order of MP2 and CCSD(T) methods, it is either difficult or at times even impossible to treat even moderately sized molecular systems with elaborate basis sets such as aug-cc-pVXZ (X = D, T, Q). In the present work, several structures o ...
Under the assumption of a flat Lambda CDM cosmology, recent data from the Planck satellite point toward a Hubble constant that is in tension with that measured by gravitational lens time delays and by the local distance ladder. Prosaically, this difference ...
Microscopic processes induced by the controlled deposition of mass selected silver clusters on graphite (HOPG) and Pt(111) are investigated. The implantation of silver clusters into the HOPG surface is analyzed. The first step consists in a systematic stud ...
Strong gravitational lenses with measured time delays between the multiple images and models of the lens mass distribution allow a one-step determination of the time-delay distance, and thus a measure of cosmological parameters. We present a blind analysis ...
Helium atoms are known to have a significant impact on materials used in fission and fusion reactors. In particular, the presence of helium atoms can change the mechanical properties and degrade the lifetime of reactors. In order to develop the helium-resi ...
