A priori mixed hadrons, hyperon non-leptonic decays, and the |\Delta I|=1/2 rule
The |\Delta I|=1/2 rule in non-leptonic decays of hyperons can be naturally
understood by postulating a priori mixed physical hadrons, along with the
isospin invariance of the responsible transition operator. It is shown that
this operator can be identified with the strong interaction Yukawa hamiltonian.Comment: Workshops on Particles and Fields and Phenomenology of Fundamental

FliPer: Checking the reliability of global seismic parameters from automatic pipelines
Our understanding of stars through asteroseismic data analysis is limited by
our ability to take advantage of the huge amount of observed stars provided by
space missions such as CoRoT, Kepler, K2, and soon TESS and PLATO. Global
seismic pipelines provide global stellar parameters such as mass and radius
using the mean seismic parameters, as well as the effective temperature. These
pipelines are commonly used automatically on thousands of stars observed by K2
for 3 months (and soon TESS for at least around 1 month). However, pipelines
are not immune from misidentifying noise peaks and stellar oscillations.
Therefore, new validation techniques are required to assess the quality of
these results. We present a new metric called FliPer (Flicker in Power), which
takes into account the average variability at all measured time scales. The
proper calibration of FliPer enables us to obtain good estimations of global
stellar parameters such as surface gravity that are robust against the
influence of noise peaks and hence are an excellent way to find faults in
asteroseismic pipelines.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, Proceedings for SF2A 2017 (Paris
