چکیده

Polarimetric data of φ Per from recent observations with the HPOL spectropolarimeter and from an earlier study in the literature have been compared. It is shown that for measurements with accuracies ∆p ∼ 0.003%, temporal changes are readily detected, these seemingly being unrelated to periodic changes in scattering geometry associated with the binary nature of the star. From studies of the p(λ) measurements, the global intrinsic polarization has been separated from the superimposed interstellar component. The wavelength dependence of the sporadic polarization changes suggests that the disks surrounding the component stars may be inclined to the orbital plane of the binary system.

اندازه‌گیری قطبش باریکه دوترون قبل و بعد از شتاب گرفتن

Beam polarization measurement in scattering experiments with a high accuracy and the lowest possible cost is an important issue. In this regard, deuteron beam polarization was measured in the low-energy beam line easily with a relatively low cost procedure and in a very short time by Lamb Shift Polarimeter (LSP). Also, the beam polarization has been measured in high-energy beam line with BINA. ...

Estimation of Plunge Value in Single- or Multi-Layered Anisotropic Media Using Analysis of Fast Polarization Direction of Shear Waves

Estimation of the fast polarization direction of shear seismic waves that deviate from horizontal axis is a valuable approach to investigate the characteristics of the lower crust and uppermost mantle structures. The lattice preferred orientation of crystals, which is generally parallel to the downward or upward flow of the mantle or crust, is an important reason for the occurrence of fast axis...

On φ-Connes amenability of dual Banach algebras

Let φ be a w-continuous homomorphism from a dual Banach algebra to C. The notion of φ-Connes amenability is studied and some characterizations is given. A type of diagonal for dual Banach algebras is dened. It is proved that the existence of such a diagonal is equivalent to φ-Connes amenability. It is also shown that φ-Connes amenability is equivalent to so-called φ-splitting of a certain short...

A New Construction of Polarizations of Solvable Lie Algebras

Let G be a real solvable Lie algebra and G∗ the vector space dual. For φ ∈ G∗, a construction of a polarization at φ is described. The construction is based on the use of maximal elements of G with respect to a partial order that depends on φ. It is proved that the construction breaks down only when G fails to satisfy the criterion of Brezin and Dixmier. Introduction Let G be a real solvable Li...
