Mid-infrared imaging- and spectro-polarimetric subarcsecond observations of NGC 1068
We present sub-arcsecond 7.513 m imaging- and spectro-polarimetric
observations of NGC 1068 using CanariCam on the 10.4-m Gran Telescopio
CANARIAS. At all wavelengths, we find:
(1) A 90 60 pc extended polarized feature in the northern ionization
cone, with a uniform 44 polarization angle. Its polarization
arises from dust and gas emission in the ionization cone, heated by the active
nucleus and jet, and further extinguished by aligned dust grains in the host
galaxy. The polarization spectrum of the jet-molecular cloud interaction at
24 pc from the core is highly polarized, and does not show a silicate
feature, suggesting that the dust grains are different from those in the
interstellar medium.
(2) A southern polarized feature at 9.6 pc from the core. Its
polarization arises from a dust emission component extinguished by a large
concentration of dust in the galaxy disc. We cannot distinguish between dust
emission from magnetically aligned dust grains directly heated by the jet close
to the core, and aligned dust grains in the dusty obscuring material
surrounding the central engine. Silicate-like grains reproduce the polarized
dust emission in this feature, suggesting different dust compositions in both
ionization cones.
(3) An upper limit of polarization degree of 0.3 per cent in the core. Based
on our polarization model, the expected polarization of the obscuring dusty
material is 0.1 per cent in the 813 m wavelength range. This
low polarization may be arising from the passage of radiation through aligned
dust grains in the shielded edges of the clumps.Comment: 17 pages, 10 figures, accepted for publication at MNRA
Experimental aspects of SU(5)xU(1) supergravity
We study various aspects of supergravity as they relate to
the experimental verification or falsification of this model. We consider two
string-inspired, universal, one-parameter, no-scale soft-supersymmetry-breaking
scenarios, driven by the -terms of the moduli and dilaton fields. The model
is described in terms of the supersymmetry mass scale (\ie, the chargino mass
), , and the top-quark mass. We first determine the
combined effect on the parameter space of all presently available direct and
indirect experimental constraints, including the LEP lower bounds on sparticle
and Higgs-boson masses, the rate, the anomalous magnetic moment
of the muon, the high-precision electroweak parameters
(which imply m_t\lsim180\GeV), and the muon fluxes in underground detectors
(neutrino telescopes). For the still-allowed points in
parameter space, we re-evaluate the experimental
situation at the Tevatron, LEPII, and HERA. In the 1994 run, the Tevatron could
probe chargino masses as high as 100 GeV. At LEPII the parameter space could be
explored with probes of different resolutions: Higgs boson searches, selectron
searches, and chargino searches. Moreover, for m_t\lsim150\GeV, these
Higgs-boson searches could explore all of the allowed parameter space with
\sqrt{s}\lsim210\GeV.Comment: latex, 36 pages, 25 figures (not included). Figures are available via

Cosmological Constraints and SU(5) Supergravity Grand Unification
The predictions of SU(5) supergravity models with radiative breaking
constrained by experimental proton decay bounds are discussed. It is shown that
cosmological constraints further restrict the parameter space but can be
satisfied for a wide range of parameters. It is also shown that no serious fine
tuning problems (either at or ) exist.Comment: 11page
Wave farm planning through high-resolution resource and performance characterization
Wave farm planning in a coastal region should lead to the selection of: i) the type of technology of wave energy converter (WEC) providing the highest performance at specific sites and ii) the sites for wave farm operation allowing an integrated coastal zone management (ICZM). On these bases, the deployment of a wave farm should be based on an accurate analysis of the performance of different WECs at coastal locations where wave energy exploitation does not interfere with other coastal uses, and the environmental impact is minimised (or positive, e.g. allowing coastal protection). With this in view, in this piece of research the intra-annual performance of various WECs of the same type (buoy-type) is computed at different locations in NW Spain allowing an ICZM perspective. For this purpose, the intra-annual version of WEDGE-p® (Wave Energy Diagram Generator – performance) tool is implemented. The results show that, as opposed to previous analysis on WECs with different principle of operation, the level of performance of buoy-type WECs at specific locations may present strong similarities. In this case, an accurate computation of different performance parameters along with their joint analysis emerge as a prerequisite for an informed decision-making
