Probing the Stellar Surface of HD 209458 from Multicolor Transit Observations
Multicolor photometric observations of a planetary transit in the system HD
209458 are analyzed. The observations, made in the Stromgren photometric
system, allowed a recalculation of the basic physical properties of the
star-planet system. This includes derivation of linear limb-darkening values of
HD 209458, which is the first time that a limb-darkening sequence has
observationally been determined for a star other than the Sun. As the derived
physical properties depend on assumptions that are currently known with limited
precision only, scaling relations between derived parameters and assumptions
are given. The observed limb-darkening is in good agreement with theoretical
predictions from evolutionary stellar models combined with ATLAS model
atmospheres, verifying these models for the temperature (Teff ~ 6000K), surface
gravity (log g ~ 4.3) and mass (~ 1.2 Msol) of HD 209458.Comment: 16 pages, 8 figures, uses elsart.cls, accepted for New Astronom
Spin-dependent effective interactions for halo nuclei
We discuss the spin-dependence of the effective two-body interactions
appropriate for three-body computations. The only reasonable choice seems to be
the fine and hyperfine interactions known for atomic electrons interacting with
the nucleus. One exception is the nucleon-nucleon interaction imposing a
different type of symmetry. We use the two-neutron halo nucleus 11Li as
illustration. We demonstrate that models with the wrong spin-dependence are
basically without predictive power. The Pauli forbidden core and valence states
must be consistently treated.Comment: TeX file, 6 pages, 3 postscript figure
Random attractors for stochastic evolution equations driven by fractional Brownian motion
The main goal of this article is to prove the existence of a random attractor
for a stochastic evolution equation driven by a fractional Brownian motion with
. We would like to emphasize that we do not use the usual
cohomology method, consisting of transforming the stochastic equation into a
random one, but we deal directly with the stochastic equation. In particular,
in order to get adequate a priori estimates of the solution needed for the
existence of an absorbing ball, we will introduce stopping times to control the
size of the noise. In a first part of this article we shall obtain the
existence of a pullback attractor for the non-autonomous dynamical system
generated by the pathwise mild solution of an nonlinear infinite-dimensional
evolution equation with non--trivial H\"older continuous driving function. In a
second part, we shall consider the random setup: stochastic equations having as
driving process a fractional Brownian motion with . Under a
smallness condition for that noise we will show the existence and uniqueness of
a random attractor for the stochastic evolution equation
