Quantum Group U_q(sl(2)) Symmetry and Explicit Evaluation of the One-Point Functions of the Integrable Spin-1 XXZ Chain

We show some symmetry relations among the correlation functions of the integrable higher-spin XXX and XXZ spin chains, where we explicitly evaluate the multiple integrals representing the one-point functions in the spin-1 case. We review the multiple-integral representations of correlation functions for the integrable higher-spin XXZ chains derived in a region of the massless regime including the anti-ferromagnetic point. Here we make use of the gauge transformations between the symmetric and asymmetric R-matrices, which correspond to the principal and homogeneous gradings, respectively, and we send the inhomogeneous parameters to the set of complete 2s-strings. We also give a numerical support for the analytical expression of the one-point functions in the spin-1 case

SiO Maser Survey toward the Inner Galactic Disk: 40 < l < 70 and |b| < 10

We present the results of an SiO maser survey for color-selected IRAS sources in the area 40 < l < 70 and |b| < 10 in the SiO J=1-0, v=1 and 2 transitions. We detected 134 out of 272 observed sources in SiO masers; 127 were new detections. A systematic difference in the detection rates between SiO and OH maser searches was found. Especially, in the color ranges with log(F_{25}/F_{12}) smaller than -0.1, the detection rate of the SiO masers is significantly higher than that of OH masers. We found a possible kinematic influence of the galactic arm on the distribution of SiO maser sources. It was found that the velocity dispersion of SiO maser sources tends to decrease with the galactocentric distance. Using the present and previous data of SiO maser surveys, we found that the local velocity gradient of the rotational velocity of the Galaxy is consistent with the values obtained from other kinds of disk population stars within a statistical uncertainty. The Oort's constants, "A" and "B", were computed from the gradient of the rotation curve for the present data, and were consistent with the IAU standard values. In addition, in order to check the reliability of IRAS positions, we observed toward the MSX positions for 5 MSX counterparts, which are located more than 20" away (but within 60") from IRAS positions. We detected all of these 5 sources in SiO masers.Comment: 45 pages, 11 figures, accepted by PASJ.

SiO maser observations of a wide dust-temperature range sample

We present the results of SiO line observations of a sample of known SiO maser sources covering a wide dust-temperature range. The aim of the present research is to investigate the causes of the correlation between infrared colors and SiO maser intensity ratios among different transition lines. We observed in total 75 SiO maser sources with the Nobeyama 45m telescope quasi-simultaneously in the SiO J=1-0 v=0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and J=2-1 v=1, 2 lines. We also observed the sample in the 29SiO J=1-0 v=0 and J=2-1 v=0, and 30SiO J=1-0 v=0 lines, and the H2O 6(1,6)-5(2,3) line. As reported in previous papers, we confirmed that the intensity ratios of the SiO J=1-0 v=2 to v=1 lines clearly correlate with infrared colors. In addition, we found possible correlation between infrared colors and the intensity ratios of the SiO J=1-0 v=3 to v=1&2 lines.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, iaus.cls, to appear in IAU Symp. 242 proceedings (Astrophysical masers and their environments
