Kaon excitations (kaonic modes) are investigated in hyperonic matter, where hyperons (Λ, Σ, Ξ ) are mixed in the ground state of neutron-star matter. P -wave kaon-baryon interactions as well as the s-wave interactions are taken into account within chiral effective Lagrangian, and the nonrelativistic effective baryon-baryon interactions are incorporated. When the hyperon Λ is more abundant than ...

In addition to the standard halogen bond formed when NH3 approaches XCN (X = F, Cl, Br, I) along its molecular axis, a perpendicular approach is also possible, toward a π-hole that is present above the X-C bond. MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ calculations indicate the latter geometry is favored for X = F, and the σ-hole structure is preferred for the heavier halogens. The π-hole structure is stabilized by cha...

Aims. Both the black hole mass and the X-ray luminosity of AGNs have been found to be anti-correlated with the normalized excess variance (σrms) of the X-ray light curves. We investigate which correlation with σ 2 rms is the intrinsic one. Methods. We divide a full sample of 33 AGNs (O’ Neill et al. 2005) into two sub-samples. The black hole masses of 17 objects in sub-sample 1 were determined ...

The motion of a black hole about the centre of gravity of its host galaxy induces a strong response from the surrounding stellar population. We consider the case of a harmonic potential and show that half of the stars on circular orbits in that potential shift to an orbit of lower energy, while the other half receive a positive boost. The black hole itself remains on an orbit of fixed amplitude...

mangrove sediments were collected during wet and dry seasons from nine stations in khamir,laft and natural reservoir mangrove-dense areas of hormozgan province in the south of iran. σ pcbs ranged from 5.33 to 15.5 ng/g dry weight and the dominant congener was no.153. average σ ddts for khamir and laft mangroves were 16.58 ± 1.51 and 18.8 ± 9.98 ng/g dry weight. ddt was more abundant than dde an...

Nitrogen 1s (N 1s) core-to-Rydberg excitation spectra of hydrogen-bonded clusters of ammonia (AM) have been studied in the small cluster regime of beam conditions with time-of-flight (TOF) fragment-mass spectroscopy. By monitoring partial-ion-yield spectra of cluster-origin products, "cluster" specific excitation spectra could be recorded. Comparison of the "cluster" band with "monomer" band re...

It is shown that a quantized Schwarzschild black hole, if described by a square root energy spectrum with exponential multiplicity, can be treated as a microcanonical ensemble without problem leading to the expected thermodynamical properties. PACS: 04.60.Kz; 04.70.Dy; 97.60.Lf Recently H.A.Kastrup [1-3] made the interesting observation that a Schwarzschild black hole with energy spectrum En = ...
