Mirror development for CTA (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Förster, A., Doro, M., Brun, P., Canestrari, R., Chadwick, P., Font, L., …Seweryn, K. (2009). Mirror development for CTA. In S. L. O'Dell, & G. Pareschi (Eds.), Optics for EUV, X-Ray, and Gamma-Ray Astronomy IV: San Diego, CA | August 02, 2009. https://doi.org/10.1117/12.827726

The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), currently in its early design phase, is a proposed new project for groundbased gamma-ray astronomy with at least 10 times higher sensitivity than current instruments. CTA is planned to consist of several tens of l... Read More about Mirror development for CTA.

EAGLE Spectroscopy of Resolved Stellar Populations Beyond the Local Group (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Evans, C., Yang, Y., Puech, M., Lehnert, M., Barker, M., Ferguson, A., …Flores, H. (2009). EAGLE Spectroscopy of Resolved Stellar Populations Beyond the Local Group. In G. Bruzual, & S. Charlot (Eds.), Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union (299-302). https://doi.org/10.1017/s1743921310002954

We give an overview of the science case for spectroscopy of resolved stellar populations beyond the Local Group with the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT). In particular, we present science simulations undertaken as part of the EAGLE Phase A... Read More about EAGLE Spectroscopy of Resolved Stellar Populations Beyond the Local Group.

Observing Strongly Interacting Vector Boson Systems at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (2009)
Journal Article
Englert, C., Jager, B., Worek, M., & Zeppenfeld, D. (2009). Observing Strongly Interacting Vector Boson Systems at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Physical Review D, Particles and fields, 80(3), Article 035027. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.80.035027

We explore the potential of the CERN Large Hadron Collider to access a strongly interacting electroweak symmetry breaking sector via weak boson scattering with W + W − j j , Z Z j j , and W ± Z j j final states. As examples of models with scalar or v... Read More about Observing Strongly Interacting Vector Boson Systems at the CERN Large Hadron Collider.

The ultraluminous state (2009)
Journal Article
Gladstone, J., Roberts, T., & Done, C. (2009). The ultraluminous state. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 397(4), 1836-1851. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2009.15123.x

We revisit the question of the nature of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) through a detailed investigation of their spectral shape, using the highest quality X-ray data available in the XMM–Newton public archives (≳10 000 counts in their EPIC spect... Read More about The ultraluminous state.

Testing model predictions of the cold dark matter cosmology for the sizes, colours, morphologies and luminosities of galaxies with the SDSS (2009)
Journal Article
González, J., Lacey, C., Baugh, C., Frenk, C., & Benson, A. (2009). Testing model predictions of the cold dark matter cosmology for the sizes, colours, morphologies and luminosities of galaxies with the SDSS. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 397(3), 1254-1274. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2009.15057.x

The huge size and uniformity of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) make possible an exacting test of current models of galaxy formation. We compare the predictions of the GALFORM semi-analytical galaxy formation model for the luminosities, morpholog...

M2-branes on orbifolds of the cone over Q^{1,1,1} (2009)
Journal Article
Franco, S., Klebanov, I. R., & Rodriguez-Gómez, D. (2009). M2-branes on orbifolds of the cone over Q^{1,1,1}. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2009(08), Article 033. https://doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2009/08/033

We study the = 2 supersymmetric Chern-Simons quiver gauge theory recently introduced in arXiv:0809.3237 to describe M2-branes on a cone over the well-known Sasaki-Einstein manifold Q1,1,1. For Chern-Simons levels (k,k,−k,−k) we argue that this theory... Read More about M2-branes on orbifolds of the cone over Q^{1,1,1}.

Quantum resonances in the delta-kicked harmonic oscillator (2009)
Journal Article
Billam, T., & Gardiner, S. (2009). Quantum resonances in the delta-kicked harmonic oscillator. Physical Review A, 80(2), https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.80.023414

Under certain conditions, the quantum delta-kicked harmonic oscillator displays quantum resonances. We consider an atom-optical realization of the delta-kicked harmonic oscillator and present a theoretical discussion of the quantum resonances that co...
