We study real algebraic integers larger than 1, whose norm is ±2 and all of whose conjugates have modulus larger than 1. These numbers are characterized in some easy cases.
متن کاملInitial Analysis of Data from the New Diego Garcia Hydroacoustic Station
The Prototype International Data Center (PIDC) began standard processing of data from the first of the new International Monitoring System’s (IMS) hydrophone stations in November 2000. The station (designated HA08) is located off the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean (Lawrence et al, 2000).
