    In an Attempt to Introduce Long-range Interactions into Small-world Networks

    Full text link
    Distinguishing the long-range bonds with the regular ones, the critical temperature of the spin-lattice Guassian model built on two typical Small-world Networks (SWNs) is studied. The results show much difference from the classical case, and thus may induce some more accurate discussion on the critical properties of the spin-lattice systems combined with the SWNs.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, 18 referenc

    Discovery of two new hypervelocity stars from the LAMOST spectroscopic surveys

    Full text link
    We report the discovery of two new unbound hypervelocity stars (HVSs) from the LAMOST spectroscopic surveys. They are respectively a B2V type star of ~ 7 M⊙_{\rm \odot} with a Galactic rest-frame radial velocity of 502 km/s at a Galactocentric radius of ~ 21 kpc and a B7V type star of ~ 4 M⊙_{\rm \odot} with a Galactic rest-frame radial velocity of 408 km/s at a Galactocentric radius of ~ 30 kpc. The origins of the two HVSs are not clear given their currently poorly measured proper motions. However, the future data releases of Gaia should provide proper motion measurements accurate enough to solve this problem. The ongoing LAMOST spectroscopic surveys are expected to yield more HVSs to form a statistical sample, providing vital constraint on understanding the nature of HVSs and their ejection mechanisms.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, 1 table, accepted for publication in ApJ

    Entropy and Its Quantum Thermodynamical Implication for Anomalous Spectral Systems

    Full text link
    The state function entropy and its quantum thermodynamical implication for two typical dissipative systems with anomalous spectral densities are studied by investigating on their low-temperature quantum behavior. In all cases it is found that the entropy decays quickly and vanishes as the temperature approaches zero. This reveals a good conformity with the third law of thermodynamics and provides another evidence for the validity of fundamental thermodynamical laws in the quantum dissipative region.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figure
