New effective interaction for -shell nuclei and its implications for the stability of the ==28 closed core
The effective interaction GXPF1 for shell-model calculations in the full
shell is tested in detail from various viewpoints such as binding energies,
electro-magnetic moments and transitions, and excitation spectra. The
semi-magic structure is successfully described for or Z=28 nuclei,
Mn, Fe, Co and Ni, suggesting the
existence of significant core-excitations in low-lying non-yrast states as well
as in high-spin yrast states. The results of odd-odd nuclei, Co
and Cu, also confirm the reliability of GXPF1 interaction in the isospin
dependent properties. Studies of shape coexistence suggest an advantage of
Monte Carlo Shell Model over conventional calculations in cases where
full-space calculations still remain too large to be practical.Comment: 29pages, 26figures, to be published in Physical Review
Universal optimal hole-doping concentration in single-layer high-temperature cuprate superconductors
We argue that in cuprate physics there are two types, hole content per
CuO plane () and the corresponding hole content per unit volume
(), of hole-doping concentrations for addressing physical properties
that are two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) in nature,
respectively. We find that superconducting transition temperature ()
varies systematically with as a superconducting \textquotedblleft
\textquotedblright with a universal optimal hole-doping concentration
= 1.6 10 cm for single-layer high
temperature superconductors. We suggest that determines the
upper bound of the electronic energy of underdoped single-layer high-
cuprates.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures; added references ;accepted for the publication in

A Universal Intrinsic Scale of Hole Concentration for High-Tc Cuprates
We have measured thermoelectric power (TEP) as a function of hole
concentration per CuO2 layer, Ppl, in Y1-xCaxBa2Cu3O6 (Ppl = x/2) with no
oxygen in the Cu-O chain layer. The room-temperature TEP as a function of Ppl,
S290(Ppl), of Y1-xCaxBa2Cu3O6 behaves identically to that of La2-zSrzCuO4 (Ppl
= z). We argue that S290(Ppl) represents a measure of the intrinsic equilibrium
electronic states of doped holes and, therefore, can be used as a common scale
for the carrier concentrations of layered cuprates. We shows that the Ppl
determined by this new universal scale is consistent with both hole
concentration microscopically determined by NQR and the hole concentration
macroscopically determined by the Cu valency. We find two characteristic
scaling temperatures, TS* and TS2*, in the TEP vs. temperature curves that
change systematically with doping. Based on the universal scale, we uncover a
universal phase diagram in which almost all the experimentally determined
pseudogap temperatures as a function of Ppl fall on two common curves; upper
pseudogap temperature defined by the TS* versus Ppl curve and lower pseudogap
temperature defined by the TS2* versus Ppl curve. We find that while pseudogaps
are intrinsic properties of doped holes of a single CuO2 layer for all high-Tc
cuprates, Tc depends on the number of layers, therefore the inter-layer
coupling, in each individual system.Comment: 11 pages, 9 figures, accepted for publication in Physical Review
High-growth-rate magnetohydrodynamic instability in differentially rotating compressible flow
The transport of angular momentum in the outward direction is the fundamental
requirement for accretion to proceed in an accretion disc. This objective can
be achieved if the accretion flow is turbulent. Instabilities are one of the
sources for the turbulence. We study a differentially rotating compressive flow
in the presence of non vanishing radial and azimuthal magnetic field and
demonstrate the occurrence of a high growth rate instability. This instability
operates in a region where magnetic energy density exceeds the rotational
energy density
Optical and CO Radio Observations of Poor Cluster Zwicky 1615.8+3505
The cluster Zwicky 1615.8+3505 is considered to be a dynamically young poor
cluster. To investigate the morphology and star-formation activity of galaxies
under the environment of a dynamically young poor cluster, we have performed V,
R, and I surface photometry, optical low-resolution spectroscopy, and 12CO
(J=1-0) line observations for member galaxies. Our data show that more than 90%
of the observed galaxies show regular morphologies and no star-formation
activities, indicating that the environment does not affect these galaxy
properties. Among sixteen galaxies observed, only NGC 6104 shows a significant
star-formation activity, and shows a distorted morphology, indicating a tidal
interaction. This galaxy contains double knots, and only one knot possesses
Seyfert activity, though the sizes and luminosities are similar to each other;
we also discuss this feature.Comment: LaTeX manuscript (text.tex, use PASJ style files), four PS figures

Constraining the Location of Microlensing Objects by using the Finite Source Effect in EAGLE events
We propose a new method to constrain the location of microlensing objects
using EAGLE (Extremely Amplified Gravitational LEnsing) events. We have
estimated the rate of EAGLE events by taking the finite-source effect in to
account. We found that the EAGLE event rate for using a 1-m class telescope w
hose limiting magnitude is is the same as or higher than that of
the ordinary microlensing events which have been found to date. We have also
found that the fraction of transit EAGLE events is large enough to detect:
between depending on the lens location. Since the lens proper
motion can be measured for a transit event, one can distinguish whether the
lens is a MACHO (MAssive Compact Halo Object) in our hal o or one of the known
stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) from the proper motion measurement
for each transit EAGLE event. Moreover, we show that the fraction of transit
EAGLEs in all EAGLE events signif icantly depends on the lensing locations: the
transit EAGLE fraction for the sel f-lensing case is times larger
than that for halo MACHOs. Thus, one can constrain the location of lens objects
by the statistics of the tr ansit events fraction. We show that we can
reasonably expect transit events out of 21 EAGLE events in 3 years.
We can also constrain the lens population properties at a gre ater than 99%
confidence level depending on the number of transit events de tected. We also
present the duration of EAGLE events, and show how an hourly ob servational
mode is more suitable for an EAGLE event search program.Comment: 18 pages, 4 figures, accepted for publication in Ap
Effective interaction for pf-shell nuclei
An effective interaction is derived for use in the full pf basis. Starting
from a realistic G-matrix interaction, 195 two-body matrix elements and 4
single-particle energies are determined by fitting to 699 energy data in the
mass range 47 to 66. The derived interaction successfully describes various
structures of pf-shell nuclei. As examples, systematics of the energies of the
first 2+ states in the Ca, Ti, Cr, Fe, and Ni isotope chains and energy levels
of 56,57,58Ni are presented. The appearance of a new magic number 34 is seen.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, to be published in Phys. Rev.
Hot Accretion With Conduction: Spontaneous Thermal Outflows
Motivated by the low-collisionality of gas accreted onto black holes in Sgr
A* and other nearby galactic nuclei, we study a family of 2D advective
accretion solutions with thermal conduction. While we only impose global
inflow, the accretion flow spontaneously develops bipolar outflows. The role of
conduction is key in providing the extra degree of freedom (latitudinal energy
transport) necessary to launch these rotating thermal outflows. The sign of the
Bernoulli constant does not discriminate between inflowing and outflowing
regions. Our parameter survey covers mass outflow rates from ~ 0 to 13% of the
net inflow rate, outflow velocities from ~0 to 11% of the local Keplerian
velocity and outflow opening angles from ~ 0 to 60 degs. As the magnitude of
conduction is increased, outflows can adopt a conical geometry, pure inflow
solutions emerge, and the limit of 2D non-rotating Bondi-like solutions is
eventually reached. These results confirm that radiatively-inefficient, hot
accretion flows have a hydrodynamical propensity to generate bipolar thermal
outflows.Comment: 38 pages, 10 figures, accepted for publication in Ap
