AtFB meets LHC (2011)
Journal Article
Hewett, J. L., Shelton, J., Spannowsky, M., Tait, T. M., & Takeuchi, M. (2011). AtFB meets LHC. Physical Review D, 84(5), Article 054005. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.84.054005

The recent Tevatron measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry of the top quark shows an intriguing discrepancy with Standard Model expectations, particularly at large tt̅ invariant masses. Measurements of this quantity are subtle at the LHC, due... Read More about AtFB meets LHC.

Molecular accretion in the core of the galaxy cluster 2A 0335+096 (2011)
Journal Article
Wilman, R., Edge, A., McGregor, P., & McNamara, B. (2011). Molecular accretion in the core of the galaxy cluster 2A 0335+096. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 416(3), 2060-2067. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2011.19180.x

We present adaptive optics-assisted K-band integral field spectroscopy of the central cluster galaxy in 2A 0335+096 (z= 0.0349). The H2 v=1–0 S(1) emission is concentrated in two peaks within 600 pc of the nucleus and fainter but kinematically active...

GRavitational lEnsing Accuracy Testing 2010 (GREAT10) is a public image analysis challenge aimed at the development of algorithms to analyze astronomical images. Specifically, the challenge is to measure varying image distortions in the presence of a... Read More about Gravitational Lensing Accuracy Testing 2010 (GREAT10) Challenge Handbook.

Linking Models of Polymerization and Dynamics to Predict Branched Polymer Structure and Flow (2011)
Journal Article
Read, D. J., Auhl, D., Das, C., den Doelder, J., Kapnistos, M., Vittorias, I., & McLeish, T. C. (2011). Linking Models of Polymerization and Dynamics to Predict Branched Polymer Structure and Flow. Science, 333(6051), 1871-1874. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1207060

We present a predictive scheme connecting the topological structure of highly branched entangled polymers, with industrial-level complexity, to the emergent viscoelasticity of the polymer melt. The scheme is able to calculate the linear and nonlinear... Read More about Linking Models of Polymerization and Dynamics to Predict Branched Polymer Structure and Flow.

NICMOS Polarimetry of ''Polar-scattered'' Seyfert 1 Galaxies (2011)
Journal Article
Batcheldor, D., Robinson, A., Axon, D., Young, S., Quinn, S., Smith, J., …Alexander, D. (2011). NICMOS Polarimetry of ''Polar-scattered'' Seyfert 1 Galaxies. Astrophysical Journal, 738(1), Article 90. https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-637x/738/1/90

The nuclei of Seyfert 1 galaxies exhibit a range of optical polarization characteristics that can be understood in terms of two scattering regions producing orthogonal polarizations: an extended polar scattering region (PSR) and a compact equatorial...
