چکیده
ABSTRACT We present the results from an Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder search for radio variables on timescales of hours. conducted untargeted over a 30 deg2 field, with multiple 10-h observations separated by days to months, at central frequency 945 MHz. discovered six rapid scintillators 15-min model-subtracted images sensitivity $\sim\! 200\, \mu$Jy/beam; two them are extreme intra-hour modulation indices up $\sim 40{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ and as short tens minutes. Five in linear arrangement sky angular width ?1 arcmin length ?2 degrees, revealing existence huge plasma filament front them. derived kinematic models this annual scintillation rate our sources, we estimated its likely physical properties: distance ?4 pc ?0.1 pc. The characteristics observe scattering screen incompatible published suggestions origin variability leading us propose new picture which underlying phenomenon is cold tidal stream. This first time that have been detected behind same screen, giving direct insight into geometry medium responsible enhanced scintillation.

Multiple breathers on a vortex filament
In this paper we investigate the correspondence between the Da Rios-Betchov equation, which appears in the three-dimensional motion of a vortex filament, and the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Using this correspondence we map a set of solutions corresponding to breathers in the nonlinear Schrödinger equation to waves propagating along a vortex filament. The work presented generalizes the recen...
متن کاملSpontaneous fluctuations of a temperature filament in a magnetized plasma
This experiment illustrates the spatiotemporal pattern of the fluctuations that spontaneously develop in a magnetized temperature filament whose transverse scale is comparable to the electron skin depth. A high-frequency mode exhibits a striking spiral structure and is identified as a drift-Alfven eigenmode. A low-frequency mode is found to be localized near the center of the filament. It is do...
متن کاملMutational profiles of breast cancer metastases from a rapid autopsy series reveal multiple evolutionary trajectories.
Heterogeneity within and among tumors in a metastatic cancer patient is a well-established phenomenon that may confound treatment and accurate prognosis. Here, we used whole-exome sequencing to survey metastatic breast cancer tumors from 5 patients in a rapid autopsy program to construct the origin and genetic development of metastases. Metastases were obtained from 5 breast cancer patients usi...
متن کاملScalability of Localized Arc Filament Plasma Actuators
Temporal flow control of a jet has been widely studied in the past to enhance jet mixing or reduce jet noise. Most of this research, however, has been done using small diameter low Reynolds number jets that often have little resemblance to the much larger jets common in real world applications because the flow actuators available lacked either the power or bandwidth to sufficiently impact these...
