We present a new long-duration parallax event from the OGLE-II database, sc5 2859, which has the second longest time-scale ever identified (tE = 547.6 +22.6 −7.8 days). We argue that both the lens and source reside in the Galactic disk, making event sc5 2859 one of the first confirmed examples of so-called disk-disk microlensing. We find that the source star is most probably located at a distan...

Quantum computing promises classically unparalleled benefits for various applications. Its properties are exploited in the Harrow-Hassidim-Lloyd (HHL) algorithm that, conjunction with quantum phase estimation, is capable of constructing states that proportional to solution linear equation systems and does so exponentially faster than fastest known classical algorithms. We explore this capabilit...

in this work we solve the set of hydrodynamical equations for accretion disks in the spherical coordinates (r,θ,ϕ) to obtain the explicit structure along θ direction. we study a two-dimensional advective accretion disc in the presence of thermal conduction. we find self-similar solutions for an axisymmetric, rotating, steady, viscous-resistive disk. we show that the global structure of an advec...
