An optimized survey strategy for the ERIS/NIX imager: searching for young giant exoplanets and very low mass brown dwarfs using the K-peak custom photometric filter
Full text linkInternational audienceWe present optimal survey strategies for the upcoming NIX imager, part of the Enhanced Resolution Imager and Spectrograph instrument to be installed on the Very Large Telescope. We will use a custom 2.2 µm K-peak filter to optimize the efficiency of a future large-scale direct imaging survey, aiming to detect brown dwarfs and giant planets around nearby stars. We use the results of previous large-scale imaging surveys (primarily SPHERE SHINE and Gemini GPIES) to inform our choice of targets, as well as improved planet population distributions. We present four possible approaches to optimize survey target lists for the highest yield of detections: (i) targeting objects with anomalous proper motion trends, (ii) a follow-up survey of dense fields from SPHERE SHINE and Gemini GPIES, (iii) surveying nearby star-forming regions, and (iv) targeting newly discovered members of nearby young moving groups. We also compare the predicted performance of NIX to other state-of-the-art direct imaging instruments

Mary Nix
Full text linkMary Nix grew up in Gordon County, Georgia during the late 1930s and 1940s. She started work in the School Lunch Program in the ninth grade, washing pots and pans at her high school. After graduating she went on to become School Food Service Supervisor for Gordon County, and later, after graduating from the University of Georgia in 1969, she became Bartow County’s first School Food Service Director. She worked for Georgia’s Department of Education for a number of years and then served as Assistant Director of School Food Services in Cobb County Georgia, where she resides. Nix was President of the American School Food Service Association from 1981 – 1982.https://egrove.olemiss.edu/icn_ohistories/1134/thumbnail.jp

Highly conductive ion tracks in tetrahedral amorphous carbon by irradiation with 30 MeV C-60 projectiles
No full textElectrically conducting ion tracks are produced when high-energy heavy ions pass through a layer of tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C). The tracks are embedded in the insulating ta-C matrix and have a diameter of about 8 nm. Earlier studies showed that the electrical currents through individual tracks produced with Au and U projectiles exhibit rather large track-to-track fluctuations. In striking contrast, 30 MeV C-60 cluster ions are shown to generate conducting tracks of very narrow conductivity distributions. Their current-versus-voltage curves are linear at room temperature. We also investigated ta-C films doped with B, N, Cu and Fe at a concentration of 1 or 2 at.%. In particular, Cu-and Fe-doped samples show increased ion track conductivity.DFG [Ho1125/17-1]; BMBF [05KK4MGA/9]Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 201
A line-of-sight optimised MIMO architecture for outdoor environments
Full text linkThe authors present an investigation on the capacity of Line-of-Sight (LoS) optimised and conventional (narrow-spaced) Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) communication systems in outdoor environments. Under a LoS scenario, the channel is normally rank deficient due to the linear dependence of the LoS rays’ phases on the receive elements. To overcome this problem, specifically designed antenna arrays can be employed, where the antenna elements are positioned to preserve the orthogonality of the LoS signal at the receiver; hence maximising the channel rank. A previously derived maximum capacity criterion is employed in the design of the proposed LoS-optimised MIMO system. The performance of this system is then assessed by means of a raytracing simulation and compared with that of a conventional MIMO system. It is shown that the proposed system exhibits a significant capacity enhancement (45.3 %) in the deployment area. Moreover, the capacity was found to be higher than that predicted by the i.i.d. Rayleigh fading model due to non-fading nature of the LoS signal
