... Abstract: We present a search for a low-mass Standard Model Higgs boson produced in association with a z boson decaying to charged leptons at a center-of-mass energy of s\sqrt{s}=1.96~TeV with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The search is performed in a large data set of events containing two opposite-sign leptons (electron, muon) and one or two b-tagged jets. 4:00pm, 472 Willamette Hall . ...

... The object is remarkable because of its low estimated mass and age and because it is associated with a mid-infrared source, an indication of a surrounding dusty disk. Based on the comparison of our spectrum with similar spectra of field M-dwarfs and atmospheric models, we obtain revised estimates of the spectral type, effective temperature and luminosity of the central object. ...

... Science Users Information > Science Activities > PhD Thesis Topics offered by ESO Faculty Members > Thesis Topic: Planetary Nebulae and HII regions in the Elliptical Galaxy NGC 5128 . ... NGC 5128 is the closest example of a giant early type (elliptical or S0) galaxy. Although often dubbed as a peculiar elliptical galaxy since it has a dust lane with recent star formation and an active galactic nucleus, the majority of early type galaxies have similar structures as revealed by recent surveys. ...

We review the evidence, from rotational modulation, for association of plages and spots on active binaries. ... There is a similar lack of evidence for BY Dra systems. The results can be interpreted as evidence for: (a) the presence of active longitudes which persist on some RS CVn stars for several years, (b) high filling factors in MgII emission and (c) lower filling factors, and therefore greater contrast, in SWP emission. ...

Abstract . A first-generation CMOS Charged Particle Spectrometer chip [1] was designed at JPL for flight on the STRV-2 spacecraft. These devices will collect electron and proton spectra in low Earth orbit as part of an experiment to demonstrate Active Pixel Sensor (APS) technology in space. This paper presents the results of total dose testing on these chips and, where possible, attempts to extend the results to other Active Pixel Sensors. ...

... These sources are much more likely to be gravitationally lensed by intervening galaxies as compared with sources discovered in surveys in other wavebands. ... The effect of lensing by clusters is then discussed briefly. This is expected to increase the source confusion noise in a Planck survey in the directions of clusters, and could provide information about galaxies with flux densities that are too faint to be detected directly by Planck . ... 2 The properties of galaxy--galaxy lensing . ...
