We present a deep Chandra ACIS-I observation of the Arches and Quintuplet clusters at the Galactic Center. We detect several bright point-like sources that are clearly associated with the clusters. Some of the sources are positionally coincident with known radio sources with strong stellar winds. The sources have similar X-ray spectra, which are dominantly thermal and show an unusually strong 6...

With Teragauss magnetic fields, surface gravity sufficiently strong to significantly modify light paths, central densities higher than that of a standard nucleus, and rotation periods of only hundredths of a second, young neutron stars are sites of some of the most extreme physical conditions known in the Universe. They generate magnetic winds with particles that are accelerated to energies in ...

this paper introduces an implicit scheme for a   continuous representation of nonexpansive mappings on a closed convex subset of a hilbert space with respect to a   sequence of invariant means defined on an appropriate space of bounded, continuous real valued functions of the semigroup.   the main result is to    prove the strong convergence of the proposed implicit scheme to the unique solutio...

we prove a strong convergence result for a sequence generated by halpern's type iteration for approximating a common fixed point of a countable family of quasi-lipschitzian mappings in a real hilbert space. consequently, we apply our results to the problem of finding a common fixed point of asymptotically nonexpansive mappings, an equilibrium problem, and a variational inequality problem for co...

Volume 1, The Earth system: physical and chemical dimensions of global environmental change, pp 557–579 Ocean circulation is one of the major elements of climate, moving heat, freshwater, nutrients and dissolved gases. Ocean circulation at the largest spatial scales and long time scales contains many elements that are in common in the different oceans. Understanding the processes that drive the...

Titan's middle atmosphere is characterized by cyclostrophic winds and strong seasonal modulation. Cassini CIRS observations, obtained in northern winter, indicate that the stratosphere near 1mbar is warmest at low latitudes, with the South Pole a few degrees colder and the North Pole approximately 20K colder. Associated with the cold northern temperatures are strong circumpolar winds with speed...

T he mesoscale atmospheric flow near coastlines with rugged, steep terrain is often very complex and can be quite intense (Young and Winstead 2005). During the cool season, extratropical cyclones over the Pacific Ocean frequently make landfall along the southeast coast of Alaska. Interaction of these synoptic-scale disturbances with the steeply rising coastal terrain (see Fig. 1) can produce st...
