SDSS-IV MaNGA: the different quenching histories of fast and slow rotators. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 473(2), 2679-2687. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx2547

Do the theorised different formation mechanisms of fast and slow rotators produce an observable difference in their star formation histories? To study this we identify quenching slow rotators in the MaNGA sample by selecting those which lie below the...

Thermal Schwinger pair production at arbitrary coupling (2017)
Journal Article
Gould, O., & Rajantie, A. (2017). Thermal Schwinger pair production at arbitrary coupling. Physical Review D, 96(7), Article 076002. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.96.076002

We calculate the rate of thermal Schwinger pair production at arbitrary coupling in weak external fields. Our calculations are valid independently of many properties of the charged particles produced, in particular their spin and whether they are ele...

Symmetries and conservation laws in non-Hermitian field theories (2017)
Journal Article
Alexandre, J., Millington, P., & Seynaeve, D. (2017). Symmetries and conservation laws in non-Hermitian field theories. Physical Review D, 96(6), https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.96.065027

Anti-Hermitian mass terms are considered, in addition to Hermitian ones, for PT-symmetric complex-scalar and fermionic field theories. In both cases, the Lagrangian can be written in a manifestly symmetric form in terms of the PT-conjugate variables,...

Galaxy evolution in protoclusters (2017)
Journal Article
Muldrew, S. I., Hatch, N. A., & Cooke, E. A. (in press). Galaxy evolution in protoclusters. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx2454

We investigate galaxy evolution in protoclusters using a semi-analytic model applied to the Millennium Simulation, scaled to a Planck cosmology. We show that the model reproduces the observed behaviour of the star formation history (SFH) both in prot... Read More about Galaxy evolution in protoclusters.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) imaging at 3 Tesla (T) field strength is the most sensitive modality for detecting white matter lesions in multiple sclerosis. While 7T FLAIR is effective in detecting cortical lesio... Read More about Seven-Tesla magnetization transfer imaging to detect multiple sclerosis white matter lesions.

Lan, Z., & Powell, S. (in press). Eigenstate thermalization hypothesis in quantum dimer models. Physical Review B, 96(11), https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.96.115140

We use exact diagonalization to study the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) in the quantum dimer model on the square and triangular lattices. Due to the nonergodicity of the local plaquette-ip dynamics, the Hilbert space, which consists of h... Read More about Eigenstate thermalization hypothesis in quantum dimer models.
