The Schweizer–Middleditch star revisited

We have re-observed and re-analysed the optical spectrum of the Schweizer–Middleditch star, a hot subdwarf which lies along almost the same line-of-sight as the centre of the historic SN1006 supernova remnant (SNR). Although this object is itself unlikely to be the remnant of the star which exploded in 1006AD, Wellstein et al. (1999) have demonstrated that it could be the remnant of the donor s...

On a problem by Schweizer and Sklar

We give a representation of the class of all n–dimensional copulas such that, for a fixed m ∈ N, 2 ≤ m < n, all their m–dimensional margins are equal to the independence copula. Such an investigation originated from an open problem posed by Schweizer and Sklar.
