We present preliminary results and observables from a model of microquasar based on a theoretical framework where stationary, powerful, compact jets are launched and then accelerated from an inner magnetized disk. This model aim at providing a consistent picture of microquasars in all their spectral states. It is composed of an outer standard accretion disk down to a variable transition radius ...

We present an extensive parameter survey to study the influence of halo mass profiles on the development of tidal tails in interacting disk galaxies. We model the galaxies using a fixed exponential disk with a central bulge and vary the halo potential over a range of parameters using both the Hernquist and NFW mass distributions, probing the effect of the halo mass, extent and concentration. We...

Ind~~strial feedback motion controllers are hmed using inanual loopshaping, according to certain design r~des. This controller tuning serves as a benchmark for robust control research as applied to optical and magnetic disk drive storage systems. The design and implementation of robz~st controllers for the focus servo of a compact disk and the tmcking servo of a hard disk mechanism is investiga...

We consider accretion disks consisting of counter-rotating gaseous components with an intervening shear layer. Configurations of this type may arise from the accretion of newly supplied counter-rotating gas onto an existing co-rotating gas disk. For simplicity we consider the case where the gas well above the disk midplane is rotating with angular rate +Ω and that well below has the same proper...

A broadband metamaterial absorber (MA) composed of hexagonal-arranged single-sized titanium nitride (TiN) nano-disk array and monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is studied using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. The structure of TiN nano-disk array/dielectric silica (SiO2)/aluminum (Al) is adopted in our design. By optimizing the dimension parameters of the structure, an aver...

The optical depth to microlensing toward M31 due to known stars in the disk of M31 itself is τ ∼ 2 × 10 −7 e −r/d where d is the disk scale length and r is the distance along the major axis. Thus, there can be significant lensing toward the M31 disk even if M31 contains no dark compact objects. The optical depth has a strong dependence on azimuthal angle: at fixed radius τ ∝ [1 + (h/d) tan i co...

We examine the modes admitted by the Mestel disk, a disk with a globally flat rotation curve. In contrast to previous analyses of this problem by Zang (1976) and Evans & Read (1998a, 1998b), we approximate the orbits to obtain almost closed expressions for the kernel of the integral equation governing the behaviour of the modes. Otherwise we, like them, follow Kalnajs’ programme to simultaneous...

We propose a new method to measure and map the gas scale height of nearby disk galaxies. This method is applied successfully to the Australia Telescope Compact Array interferometric HI survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC); it could also be applied to a significant number of nearby disk galaxies, thanks to the next generation of interferometric facilities, such as the extended VLA and CARM...

Let $h$ be a harmonic function defined on spherical disk. It is shown that $\Delta ^k |h|^2$ nonnegative for all $k\in \mathbb {N}$ where $\Delta$ the Laplace-Beltrami operator. This fact generalized to functions disk in normal homogeneous compact Riemannian manifold, and particular symmetric space of type. complements similar property $\mathbb {R}^n$ discovered by first two authors related str...

background and importance: disk sequestration can be defined as a herniated disk with perforation of the fibrous ring (or outermost annulus fibrosus) and posterior longitudinal ligament with migration of the disk fragment to the epidural space. even after the introduction of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (mri), it is still frequently misinterpreted as neoplastic masses. unfortunate...
