... Seminar archive . ... The structure of the X-ray sources in the hard spectral state of accreting black-hole binaries has been a subject of intense debate. The paradigm dominant for many years postulated that the accretion disc in the hard state is truncated at some radius >> the innermost stable orbit (ISCO) whereas the disc reaches the ISCO in the soft state. ... On the other hand, there have been numerous claims in recent years that the disc extends to the ISCO in the hard state. ...

. Merging cluster DLSCL J0916.2+2951 and its three matter components. Overlaid on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) color image of the galaxies is the total mass distribution (blue) based on WL analysis of the HST images and the cluster gas distribution (red) based on Chandra X-ray observations. The bulk of the collisional gas is located between the two collisionless galaxy and mass concentrations, indicative of a dissociative merger.

... Microlocal Analysis is a theory of Pseudo-Differential Operators and Fourier Integral Operators (PDOs and FIOs). ... Microlocal analysis comes in few flavors. ... We will consider semi-classical PDOs and FIOs: one can always get from there to standard PDOs and FIOs but semi-classical theory has more applications. Less formal description of (semi-classical) microlocal analysis is ``a semi-classical limit of quantum mechanics'' or ``high-frequency limit of electrodynamics'' (etc). ...

... Under certain conditions, like those in the nucleus of a QSO, all atoms can be made to emit light at particular wavelengths. ... If that source is approaching the observer, the wave is squashed up onto itself making the wavelength shorter. ... This is redshift. ... You can see how the section of the QSO spectrum which we observe changes with redshift. ... We then see how far we had to slide the observed spectrum along the scale to make it match and that is the objects redshift. ... The 2QZ team . ...
