Extended Coronal Emission Lines in Active Galactic Nuclei

VLT and NTT spectra are used to examine the nuclear and extended coronal line emission in a sample of well-known Seyfert 1 and 2 galaxies. The excellent spatial resolution obtained with VLT allowed us to map [SiVI] 1.963 $\mu$m and [SiVII] 2.48 $\mu$m on scales of up to 20 pc. Coronal line emission, extended to distances of $\sim$100 pc, is detected in some of the lines analyzed, particularly in [FeX] 6374\AA, [FeXI] 7891\AA, and [SiVII] 2.48$\mu$m. Most coronal lines are strongly asymmetric towards the blue and broader than low-ionization lines. This result is particularly important for Circinus, where previous observations had failed at detecting larger widths for high-ionization lines. Photoionization models are used to investigate the physical conditions and continuum luminosities necessary to produced the observed coronal emission. We found that an ionization parameter U> 0.10 is necessary to reproduce the observations, although the clouds should be located at distances < 30 pc.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figures, to appear in proceedings of IAU Symposium No. 222, The Interplay Among Black Holes, Stars and ISM in Galacti Nucle

Nesting Induced Peierls-type Instability for Compressed Li-CI16

Alkalies are considered to be simple metals at ambient conditions. However, recently reported theoretical and experimental results have shown an unexpected and intriguing correlation between complex structures and an enhanced superconducting transition temperature in lithium under pressure. In this article we analyze the pressure induced Fermi surface deformation in bcc lithium, and its relation to the observed cI16 structure. According to our calculations, the Fermi surface becomes increasingly anisotropic with pressure and develops an extended nesting along the bcc [121] direction. This nesting induces a phonon instability of both transverse modes at N, so that a Peierls-type mechanism is proposed to explain the stability of Li-cI16.Comment: Proceedings of Fukuoka 2006 Conference on Novel Pressure-induced Phenomena in Condensed Matter Systems.

An efficient and scalable platform for java source code analysis using overlaid graph representations

© 2013 IEEE. Although source code programs are commonly written as textual information, they enclose syntactic and semantic information that is usually represented as graphs. This information is used for many different purposes, such as static program analysis, advanced code search, coding guideline checking, software metrics computation, and extraction of semantic and syntactic information to create predictive models. Most of the existing systems that provide these kinds of services are designed ad hoc for the particular purpose they are aimed at. For this reason, we created ProgQuery, a platform to allow users to write their own Java program analyses in a declarative fashion, using graph representations. We modify the Java compiler to compute seven syntactic and semantic representations, and store them in a Neo4j graph database. Such representations are overlaid, meaning that syntactic and semantic nodes of the different graphs are interconnected to allow combining different kinds of information in the queries/analyses. We evaluate ProgQuery and compare it to the related systems. Our platform outperforms the other systems in analysis time, and scales better to program sizes and analysis complexity. Moreover, the queries coded show that ProgQuery is more expressive than the other approaches. The additional information stored by ProgQuery increases the database size and associated insertion time, but these increases are significantly lower than the query/analysis performance gains obtained.Spanish Department of Science, Innovation and Universities under Project RTI2018-099235-B-I00
