Measuring the mass of the black widow PSR J1555-2908
Accurate measurements of the masses of neutron stars are necessary to test binary evolution models, and to constrain the neutron star equation of state. In...
Mechanical stability of the CMS strip tracker measured with a laser alignment system
The CMS tracker consists of 206 m2 of silicon strip sensors assembled on carbon fibre composite structures and is designed for operation in the temperature...
Mechanisms Producing Fissionlike Binary Fragments in Heavy Ion Collisions
The mixing of the quasifission component to the fissionlike cross section causes ambiguity in the quantitative estimation of the complete fusion cross section...
Medium-resolution Isaac Newton Telescope library of empirical spectra
A new stellar library developed for stellar population synthesis modelling is presented. The library consists of 985 stars spanning a large range in atmospheric...
Medium-resolution Isaac Newton Telescope library of empirical spectra - II. The stellar atmospheric parameters
We present a homogeneous set of stellar atmospheric parameters (Teff, logg, [Fe/H]) for MILES, a new spectral stellar library covering the range λλ 3525-7500Å...
MeerKAT observations of Herschel protocluster candidates
High-redshift protoclusters consisting of dusty starbursts are thought to play an important role in galaxy evolution. Their dusty nature makes them bright in...
