Analysis of the Very Inner Milky Way Dark Matter Distribution and Gamma-Ray...
We study the Dark Matter (DM) distribution in the inner Galactic Center region (< 100 pc) considering the extrapolation of a compilation of density profiles appearing in state-of-the-art N-body +...

Melott et al. [2016] suggest that individual solar proton events (SPEs) are detectable as nitrate ion spikes in ice cores. They use the high fluence, high energy (hard spectrum) SPE of 23 February 1956...
View ArticleOptimal non-circular fiber geometries for image scrambling in high-resolution...
Optical fibers are a key component for high-resolution spectrographs to attain high precision in radial velocity measurements. We present a custom fiber with a novel core geometry - a 'D'-shape. From a...
View ArticleCharacterizing octagonal and rectangular fibers for MAROON-X
We report on the scrambling performance and focal-ratio-degradation (FRD) of various octagonal and rectangular fibers considered for MAROON-X. Our measurements demonstrate the detrimental effect of...
View ArticleScaling of collision strengths for highly-excited states of ions of the H-...
Emission lines from highly-excited states (n >= 5) of H- and He-like ions have been detected in astrophysical sources and fusion plasmas. For such excited states, R-matrix or distorted wave...
