We investigate the crossing-symmetry relation between b →c τ-ν ¯ decay and b c ¯→τ-ν ¯ scattering to derive direct correlations of new physics in semitauonic B -meson decays and the mono-tau signature at the LHC (p p →τhX +MET ). Using an exhaustive set of effective operators and heavy mediators we find that the current ATLAS and CMS data constrain

This paper investigates the mixed properties of MHD waves in a non-uniform plasma. It starts with a short revision of MHD waves in a uniform plasma of infinite extent. In that case the MHD waves do not have mixed properties. They can be separated in Alfvén waves and magneto-sonic waves. The Alfvén waves propagate parallel vorticity and are

We report the discovery of two transiting planets orbiting K2-290 (EPIC 249624646), a bright (V = 11.11) late F-type star residing in a triple-star system. It was observed during Campaign 15 of the K2 mission, and in order to confirm and characterize the system, follow-up spectroscopy and AO imaging were carried out using the FIES, HARPS, HARPS-N

A suite of 432 collisionless simulations of bound pairs of spiral galaxies with mass ratios 1:1 and 3:1, and global properties consistent with the ΛCDM paradigm, is used to test the conjecture that major mergers fuel the dual AGN (DAGN) of the local volume. Our analysis was based on the premise that the essential aspects of this scenario can be

Spectral observations of asteroid family members provide valuable information regarding parent body interiors, the origin and source regions of near-Earth asteroids, and the link between meteorites and their parent bodies. Asteroids of the Hungaria family represent some of the closest samples to the Earth from a collisional family (∼1.94 AU)

We report NOrthern Extended Millimetre Array (NOEMA) observations of warm molecular gas traced by CO(5 ‑ 4) in a z∼ 3.2 gas-rich main-sequence (MS) galaxy, initially serendipitously detected in CO(3 ‑ 2) emission in “blind” deep NOEMA observations. Our target shows a gas excitation consistent with that seen in z∼ 1.5 MS galaxies ({L}CO(5-4)}{\prime
