Star Formation and Relaxation in 379 Nearby Galaxy Clusters
We investigate the relationship between star formation (SF) and level of
relaxation in a sample of 379 galaxy clusters at z < 0.2. We use data from the
Sloan Digital Sky Survey to measure cluster membership and level of relaxation,
and to select star-forming galaxies based on mid-infrared emission detected
with the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer. For galaxies with absolute
magnitudes M_r < -19.5, we find an inverse correlation between SF fraction and
cluster relaxation: as a cluster becomes less relaxed, its SF fraction
increases. Furthermore, in general, the subtracted SF fraction in all unrelaxed
clusters (0.117 +/- 0.003) is higher than that in all relaxed clusters (0.097
+/- 0.005). We verify the validity of our SF calculation methods and membership
criteria through analysis of previous work. Our results agree with previous
findings that a weak correlation exists between cluster SF and dynamical state,
possibly because unrelaxed clusters are less evolved relative to relaxed
clusters.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, accepted for publication in Ap
Equivalence of two mathematical forms for the bound angular momentum of the electromagnetic field
It is shown that the mathematical form, obtained in a recent paper, for the
angular momentum of the electromagnetic field in the vicinity of electric
charge is equivalent to another form obtained previously by Cohen-Tannoudji,
Dupont-Roc and Gilbert. In this version of the paper an improved derivation is
given.Comment: 4 pages pdf, simpler derivatio
Standardized Pearson type 3 density function area tables
Tables constituting extension of similar tables published in 1936 are presented in report form. Single and triple parameter gamma functions are discussed. Report tables should interest persons concerned with development and use of numerical analysis and evaluation methods
U(1) Axial Symmetry and Correlation Functions in the High Temperature Phase of QCD
Simple group-theoretical arguments are used to demonstrated that in the high
temperature (chirally restored) phase of QCD with N massless flavours, all
n-point correlation functions of quark bilinears are invariant under U(1) axial
transformations provided n < N. In particular this implies that the two-point
correlation function in the eta' channel is identical to that in the pion
channel for N > 2. Unlike previous work, this result does not depend on the
topological properties of QCD and can be formulated without explicit reference
to functional integrals.Comment: 3 pages, RevTe
