The first above-threshold resonance of 2-naphthoxide decays through vibrational mode specific autodetachment with a lifetime 130 ± 10 fs. This state is not doorway to stable interstellar anion formation.

We examine the linear stability of fluid interfaces subjected to a shear flow. Our main object is to generalize previous work to arbitrary Atwood number, and to allow for surface tension and weak compressibility. The motivation derives from instances in astrophysical systems where mixing across material interfaces driven by shear flows may significantly affect the dynamical evolution of these s...

These notes are preliminary and informal. My aim is to provide an introduction to some of the basic ideas that have emerged in recent decades in the fluids literature that have a fundamentally topological character. That is, rather than focusing on details such as velocity profile or pressure field, this material deals with persistent invariant properties of a flow field, features which often h...

We show that a microswimmer trapped thermodynamically at fluid-fluid interfaces experiences torque arising from the hydrodynamic boundary condition interface. This turns force dipoles corresponding to pullers perpendicular and pushers parallel demonstrate in general case, when there is viscosity contrast across interface, steady state orientation given by interplay between torques self-propulsi...

We take account of the lowest order back reaction on the fluid and modify the Kulsrud and Anderson equation ∂tEM = 2γEM obtained in the kinetic dynamo theory, where EM is the energy density of the magnetic field. Furthermore, we apply our present result to some astrophysical stages where the magnetic field is expected to be amplified by the dynamo mechanism. JSPS Postdoctal Fellowship for Resea...
