    We report the discovery of a luminous z = 5.78 star-forming galaxy in the Chandra Deep Field South. This galaxy was selected as an ‘i-drop’ from the GOODS public survey imaging with the Hubble Space Telescope/Advanced Camera for Surveys (object 3 in the work of Stanway, Bunker & McMahon 2003). The large colour of (i′−z′)AB = 1.6 indicated a spectral break consistent with the Lyman α forest absorption shortward of Lyman α at z≈ 6. The galaxy is very compact (marginally resolved with ACS with a half-light radius of 0.08 arcsec, so rhl 5. Our spectroscopic redshift for this object confirms the validity of the i′-drop technique of Stanway et al. to select star-forming galaxies atz≈ 6

    Spectral analysis of the Chandra comet survey

    Aims.We present results of the analysis of cometary X-ray spectra with an extended version of our charge exchange emission model (Bodewits et al. 2006). We have applied this model to the sample of 8 comets thus far observed with the Chandra X-ray observatory and ACIS spectrometer in the 300-1000 eV range. The surveyed comets are C/1999 S4 (LINEAR), C/1999 T1 (McNaught-Hartley), C/2000 WM1 (LINEAR), 153P/2002 (Ikeya-Zhang), 2P/2003 (Encke), C/2001 Q4 (NEAT), 9P/2005 (Tempel 1) and 73P/2006-B (Schwassmann-Wachmann 3) and the observations include a broad variety of comets, solar wind environments and observational conditions. Methods.The interaction model is based on state selective, velocity dependent charge exchange cross sections and is used to explore how cometary X-ray emission depend on cometary, observational and solar wind characteristics. It is further demonstrated that cometary X-ray spectra mainly reflect the state of the local solar wind. The current sample of Chandra observations was fit using the constrains of the charge exchange model, and relative solar wind abundances were derived from the X-ray spectra. Results.Our analysis showed that spectral differences can be ascribed to different solar wind states, as such identifying comets interacting with (I) fast, cold wind, (II), slow, warm wind and (III) disturbed, fast, hot winds associated with interplanetary coronal mass ejections. We furthermore predict the existence of a fourth spectral class, associated with the cool, fast high latitude wind

    A remark on rational Cherednik algebras and differential operators on the cyclic quiver

    No full text
    We show that the spherical subalgebra Uk,c of the rational Cherednik algebra associated to Sn 2 Cl, the wreath product of the symmetric group and the cyclic group of order l, is isomorphic to a quotient of the ring of invariant differential operators on a space of representations of the cyclic quiver of size l. This confirms a version of [5, Conjecture 11.22] in the case of cyclic groups. The proof is a straightforward application of work of Oblomkov [12] on the deformed Harish–Chandra homomorphism, and of Crawley–Boevey, [3] and [4], and Gan and Ginzburg [7] on preprojective algebras

    Timing analysis of the isolated neutron star RX J0720.4-3125 revisited

    No full text
    We present a reanalysis of the X-ray data for RX J0720.4-3125 presented in our previous paper, Zane et al., using more data recently available from XMM-Newton and Chandra. This analysis also corrects the ROSAT data used in that paper to the barycentric dynamical time (TDB) system, incorporates the revised XMM-Newton barycentric correction available since then, and corrects the definition of the instantaneous period in the maximum likelihood periodogram search. However, we are now unable to find a single coherent period that is consistent with all ROSAT, Chandra and XMM-Newton data sets. From an analysis of the separate data sets, we have derived limits on the period change of (P)over dot = (1.4 +/- 0.6) x 10(-13) s s(-1) at 99 per cent confidence level. This is stronger than the value presented in Zane et al., but sufficiently similar that their scientific conclusions remain unchanged. We examine the implications in more detail, and find that RX J0720.4-3125 can have been born as a magnetar provided that it has a young age of similar to10(4) yr. A more conservative interpretation is that the field strength has remained relatively unchanged at just over 10(13) G, over the similar to10(6)-yr lifetime of the star

    Trigonometric approximation by Nörlund type means in LpL^p-norm

    No full text
    summary:We show that the same degree of approximation as in the theorems proved by L. Leindler [Trigonometric approximation in LpL^p-norm, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 302 (2005), 129--136] and P. Chandra [Trigonometric approximation of functions in LpL^p-norm, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 275 (2002), 13--26] is valid for a more general class of lower triangular matrices. We also prove that these theorems are true under weakened assumptions
