The scalar complex potential and the Aharonov-Bohm effect
The Aharonov-Bohm effect is traditionally attributed to the effect of the
electromagnetic 4-potential , even in regions where both the electric field
and the magnetic field are zero. The AB effect
reveals that multiple-valued functions play a crucial role in the description
of an electromagnetic field. We argue that the quantity measured by AB
experiments is a difference in values of a multiple-valued complex function,
which we call a complex potential or {pre-potential. We show that any
electromagnetic field can be described by this pre-potential, and give an
explicit expression for the electromagnetic field tensor through this
potential. The pre-potential is a modification of the two scalar potential
functions.Comment: 10 pages 2 figure
Spectral statistics of random geometric graphs
We use random matrix theory to study the spectrum of random geometric graphs,
a fundamental model of spatial networks. Considering ensembles of random
geometric graphs we look at short range correlations in the level spacings of
the spectrum via the nearest neighbour and next nearest neighbour spacing
distribution and long range correlations via the spectral rigidity Delta_3
statistic. These correlations in the level spacings give information about
localisation of eigenvectors, level of community structure and the level of
randomness within the networks. We find a parameter dependent transition
between Poisson and Gaussian orthogonal ensemble statistics. That is the
spectral statistics of spatial random geometric graphs fits the universality of
random matrix theory found in other models such as Erdos-Renyi, Barabasi-Albert
and Watts-Strogatz random graph.Comment: 19 pages, 6 figures. Substantially updated from previous versio
A Case for Renewed Activity in the Giant Radio Galaxy J0116-473
We present ATCA radio observations of the giant radio galaxy J0116-473 at 12
and 22 cm wavelengths in total intensity and polarization. The images clearly
reveal a bright inner-double structure within more extended edge-brightened
lobe emission. The lack of hotspots at the ends of the outer lobes, the strong
core and the inner-double structure with its edge-brightened morphology lead us
to suggest that this giant radio galaxy is undergoing a renewed nuclear
activity: J0116-473 appears to be a striking example of a radio galaxy where a
young double source is evolving within older lobe material. We also report the
detection of a Mpc-long linear feature which is oriented perpendicular to the
radio axis and has a high fractional polarization.Comment: 25 pages, 10 figures, appeared in 2002 ApJ, 565, 25
A Radio Study of the Seyfert Galaxy IC 5063: Evidence for Fast Gas Outflow
New radio continuum (8 GHz and 1.4 GHz) and HI 21 cm line observations of the
Seyfert 2 galaxy IC 5063 (PKS 2048-572) were obtained with the Australia
Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). The 8 GHz image reveals a linear triple
structure (~4'', 1.5 kpc) oriented perpendicular to the optical polarization
position angle. It is aligned with the inner dust lane and shows strong
morphological association with the narrow emission line region (NLR). At 21 cm,
very broad (~700 km/s) HI absorption is observed against the strong continuum
source. This absorption is almost entirely blueshifted, indicating a fast net
outflow, but a faint and narrow redshifted component is also present. In IC
5063 we see clear evidence for strong shocks resulting from the radio
plasma-ISM interaction in the central few kpc. However, the energy flux in the
radio plasma is an order of magnitude smaller than the energy emitted in
emission lines. Thus, shocks are unlikely to account solely for the global
ionization of the emission line region, particularly at large distances.
The HI emission outlines a warped disk associated with the system of dust
lanes some ~2' (~38 kpc) in radius. The lack of kinematically disturbed gas
outside the central few kpc, coupled with the disk warp and close morphological
connection of the inner dust lanes and the large-scale ionized gas, support the
idea that the gas at large radii is photoionized by the central region, while
shadowing effects are important in defining its X-shaped morphology. The
kinematics of the ionized and of the neutral gas suggests the existence of a
dark halo.Comment: 18 pages, 8 Postscript figures, 3 jpeg figures, Postscript preprint

Radio-Luminous Southern Seyfert Galaxies. I. Radio Images and Selected Optical/Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
This is the first of two papers in which a study is made of a sample of 12
southern radio-luminous Seyfert galaxies. Our aim is to investigate possible
correlations between radio morphology and nuclear/circumnuclear emission-line
properties. In this paper we present radio images at 13, 6, and 3 cm taken with
the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), global far-infrared (FIR)
properties for the whole sample, and optical and near-infrared (NIR)
spectroscopy of an interesting subset. We find a mixture of radio morphologies,
including linear, diffuse and compact sources. When the FIR colors of the
galaxies are considered there is an indication that the compact radio sources
have warmer FIR colors than the diffuse sources, whereas the linear sources
span a wide range of FIR colors. There is a wide variation in radio
spectral-indices, suggesting that free-free absorption is significant in some
systems, particularly IRAS 11249-2859, NGC 4507, and NGC 7213. Detailed
emission-line studies are presented of 4 galaxies IC 3639, NGC 5135, NGC 3393 &
IRAS 11249-2859. In IC 3639 we present evidence of vigorous, compact star
formation enclosed by very extended [OI]6300 emission, suggestive of the
boundary between a diffuse outflow and the surrounding ISM. In another galaxy,
IC 5063, we see evidence for the possible interaction of a highly collimated
outflow and the surrounding rotating inner disk. Of the 5 galaxies which show
compact radio emission, 4 have radio/FIR flux ratios consistent with an
energetically dominant AGN, whereas IC 4995 exhibits evidence for a very
compact starburst.Comment: 42 pages, including 7 tables, latex, 19 jpeg figures, Accepted to

A Sample of Low Redshift BL Lacs. I. The Radio Data
We present a new sample of 30 nearby (z<0.2) BL Lacs, selected to study the
nuclear as well as the large scale properties of low power radio sources. In
this first paper, we show and discuss new radio data taken with the VLA (19
objects at 1.4 GHz, either in A or C configuration, or both) as well as with
the VLBA (15 sources at 5 GHz). On the kiloparsec scale, all objects exhibit a
compact core and a variety of radio morphologies (jets, halos, secondary
compact components). On the parsec scale, we find weak cores and a few short,
one-sided, jets. From the jet/counter-jet ratio, core dominance, and
synchrotron self Compton model we estimate the intrinsic orientation and
velocity of the jets. The resulting properties of BL Lacs are similar to those
of a parent population composed of FR I radio galaxies.Comment: 46 pages, 12 figures, accepted for publication in Ap
The Nuclear Starburst in NGC 253
We have obtained long-slit spectra of NGC 253 in the J, H, K, and N bands,
broadband images in the J, H, and Ks bands, narrowband images centered at the
wavelengths of BrGamma and H2(1,0)S(1), and imaging spectroscopy centered on
[NeII](12.8um). We use these data and data from the literature in a
comprehensive re-assessment of the starburst in this galaxy. We derive the
supernova rate from the strength of the infrared [FeII] lines. We find that
most of the H2 infrared luminosity is excited by fluorescence in low density
gas. We derive a strong upper limit of ~37,000K for the stars exciting the
emission lines. We use velocity-resolved infrared spectra to determine the mass
in the starburst region. Most of this mass appears to be locked up in the old,
pre-existing stellar population. Using these constraints and others to build an
evolutionary synthesis model, we find that the IMF originally derived to fit
the starburst in M 82 (similar to a Salpeter IMF) also accounts for the
properties of NGC 253. The models indicate that rapid massive star formation
has been ongoing for 20-30 million years in NGC 253---that is, it is in a late
phase of its starburst. We model the optical emission line spectrum expected
from a late phase starburst and demonstrate that it reproduces the observed
HII/weak-[OI] LINER characteristics.Comment: 48 pages, 14 figures, uses AASTeX macros, to appear in Ap
X-Ray Emission from Multi-Phase Shock in the Large Magellanic Cloud Supernova Remnant N49
The supernova remnant (SNR) N49 in the Large Magellanic Cloud has been
observed with the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) on board the {\it
Chandra X-Ray Observatory}. The superb angular resolution of the {\it
Chandra}/ACIS images resolves a point source, the likely X-ray counterpart of
soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 052666, and the diffuse filaments and knots
across the SNR. These filamentary features represent the blast wave sweeping
through the ambient interstellar medium and nearby dense molecular clouds. We
detect metal-rich ejecta beyond the main blast wave shock boundary in the
southwest of the SNR, which appear to be explosion fragments or ``bullets''
ejected from the progenitor star. The detection of strong H-like Si line
emission in the eastern side of the SNR requires multi-phase shocks in order to
describe the observed X-ray spectrum, whereas such a multi-phase plasma is not
evident in the western side. This complex spectral structure of N49 suggests
that the postshock regions toward the east of the SNR might have been reheated
by the reverse shock off the dense molecular clouds while the blast wave shock
front has decelerated as it propagates into the dense clouds. The X-ray
spectrum of the detected point-like source is continuum dominated and can be
described with a power law of 3. This provides a confirmation
that this point-like X-ray source is the counterpart of SGR 052666 in the
quiescent state.Comment: Total 22 pages (in ApJ emulater style), including 8 figures (2 color
