    The Order O(αtαs)\mathcal{O}(\alpha_t\alpha_s) Corrections to the Trilinear Higgs Self-Couplings in the Complex NMSSM

    Full text link
    A consistent interpretation of the Higgs data requires the same precision in the Higgs boson masses and in the trilinear Higgs self-couplings, which are related through their common origin from the Higgs potential. In this work we provide the two-loop corrections at order O(αtαs){\cal O}(\alpha_t \alpha_s) in the approximation of vanishing external momenta to the trilinear Higgs self-couplings in the CP-violating Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (NMSSM). In the top/stop sector two different renormalization schemes have been implemented, the OS and the DR\overline{\text{DR}} scheme. The two-loop corrections to the self-couplings are of the order of 10\% in the investigated scenarios. The theoretical error, estimated both from the variation of the renormalization scale and from the change of the top/stop sector renormalization scheme, has been shown to be reduced due to the inclusion of the two-loop corrections.Comment: 31 pages, 7 figure

    HI emission from the red giant Y CVn with the VLA and FAST

    Full text link
    Imaging studies with the VLA have revealed HI emission associated with the extended circumstellar shells of red giants. We analyse the spectral map obtained on Y CVn, a J-type carbon star on the AGB. The HI line profiles can be interpreted with a model of a detached shell resulting from the interaction of a stellar outflow with the local interstellar medium. We reproduce the spectral map by introducing a distortion along a direction corresponding to the star's motion in space. We then use this fitting to simulate observations expected from the FAST radiotelescope, and discuss its potential for improving ourdescription of the outer regions of circumstellar shells.Comment: accepted for publication in RA

    Resolving the molecular gas around the lensed quasar RXJ0911.4+0551

    Full text link
    We report on high angular resolution observations of the CO(7-6) line and millimeter continuum in the host galaxy of the gravitationally lensed (z~2.8) quasar RXJ0911.4+0551 using the Plateau de Bure Interferometer. Our CO observations resolve the molecular disk of the source. Using a lens model based on HST observations we fit source models to the observed visibilities. We estimate a molecular disk radius of 1±\pm0.2 kpc and an inclination of 69±\pm6\deg, the continuum is more compact and is only marginally resolved by our observations. The relatively low molecular gas mass, Mgas=(2.3±0.5)×109Mgas=(2.3\pm 0.5)\times 10^{9} Msolar, and far infrared luminosity, LFIR=(7.2±1.5)×1011LFIR=(7.2\pm 1.5) \times 10^{11} Lsolar, of this quasar could be explained by its relatively low dynamical mass, Mdyn=(3.9±0.9)×109Mdyn=(3.9\pm 0.9)\times 10^9 Msolar. It would be a scaled-down version the QSOs usually found at high-z. The FIR and CO luminosities lie on the correlation found for QSOs from low to high redshifts and the gas-to-dust ratio (45±1745\pm 17) is similar to the one measured in the z=6.4 QSO, SDSS J1148+5251. Differential magnification affects the continuum-to-line luminosity ratio, the line profile and possibly the spectral energy distribution.Comment: Accepted for publication in A&A, revised after language editin
