The states 1^1\Sigma^+_u, 1^1\Pi_u and 2^1\Sigma^+_u of Sr_2 studied by Fourier-transform spectroscopy
A high resolution study of the electronic states 1^1\Sigma^+_u and 1^1\Pi_u
which belong to the asymptote 4^1D + 5^1S and of the state 2(A)^1\Sigma^+_u,
which correlates to the asymptote 5^1P + 5^1S, is performed by
Fourier-transform spectroscopy of fluorescence progressions induced by single
frequency laser excitation. Precise descriptions of the potentials up to 2000
cm^{-1} above the bottom are derived and compared to currently available ab
initio calculations. Especially for the state 1^1\Sigma^+_u large deviations
are found. Rather weak and local perturbations are observed for the states
1^1\Pi_u and 2^1\Sigma^+_u, while a strong coupling of the state 1^1\Sigma^+_u
to the component \Omega=0^+_u of the state 1^3\Pi_u, which belongs to the
asymptote 5^3P + 5^1S, is indicated.Comment: Typing errors corrected (including numbers in table IX), 12 pages, 9

Proactive Quality Guidance for Model Evolution in Model Libraries
Model evolution in model libraries differs from general model evolution. It
limits the scope to the manageable and allows to develop clear concepts,
approaches, solutions, and methodologies. Looking at model quality in evolving
model libraries, we focus on quality concerns related to reusability. In this
paper, we put forward our proactive quality guidance approach for model
evolution in model libraries. It uses an editing-time assessment linked to a
lightweight quality model, corresponding metrics, and simplified reviews. All
of which help to guide model evolution by means of quality gates fostering
model reusability.Comment: 10 pages, figures. Appears in Models and Evolution Workshop

Detectability of strange matter in heavy ion experiments
We discuss the properties of two distinct forms of hypothetical strange matter, small lumps of strange quark matter (strangelets) and of hyperon matter (metastable exotic multihypernuclear objects: MEMOs), with special empha- sis on their relevance for present and future heavy ion experiments. The masses of small strangelets up to AB = 40 are calculated using the MIT bag model with shell mode filling for various bag parameters. The strangelets are checked for possible strong and weak hadronic decays, also taking into account multiple hadron decays. It is found that strangelets which are stable against strong decay are most likely highly negative charged, contrary to previous findings. Strangelets can be stable against weak hadronic decay but their masses and charges are still rather high. This has serious impact on the present high sensitivity searches in heavy ion experiments at the AGS and CERN facilities. On the other hand, highly charged MEMOs are predicted on the basis of an extended relativistic mean field model. Those objects could be detected in future experiments searching for short lived, rare composites. It is demonstrated that future experiments can be sensitive to a much wider variety of strangelets
The interaction of multiple stellar winds in stellar clusters: potential flow
While several studies have investigated large-scale cluster winds resulting
from an intra-cluster interaction of multiple stellar winds, as yet they have
not provided details of the bordering flows inside a given cluster. The present
work explores the principal structure of the combined flow resulting from the
interaction of multiple stellar winds inside stellar clusters. The theory of
complex potentials is applied to analytically investigate stagnation points,
boundaries between individual outflows, and the hydrodynamic structure of the
asymptotic large-scale cluster wind. In a second part, these planar
considerations are extended to fully three-dimensional, asymmetric
configurations of wind-driving stars.
We find (i) that one can distinguish regions in the large-scale cluster wind
that are determined by the individual stellar winds, (ii) that there are
comparatively narrow outflow channels, and (iii) that the large-scale cluster
wind asymptotically approaches spherical symmetry at large distances. The
combined flow inside a stellar cluster resulting from the interaction of
multiple stellar winds is highly structured.Comment: 8 pages, 8 Figure
