Detection of Giant Radio Pulses from the Pulsar PSR B0656+14

Giant pulses (GPs) have been detected from the pulsar PSR B0656+14. A pulse that is more intense than the average pulse by a factor of 120 is encountered approximately once in 3000 observed periods of the pulsar. The peak flux density of the strongest pulse, 120 Jy, is a factor of 630 higher than that of the average pulse. The GP energy exceeds the energy of the average pulse by up to a factor of 110, which is comparable to that for other known pulsars with GPs, including the Crab pulsar and the millisecond pulsar PSR B1937+21. The giant pulses are a factor of 6 narrower than the average pulse and are clustered at the head of the average pulse. PSR B0656+14 along with PSR B0031-07, PSR B1112+50, and PSR J1752+2359 belong to a group of pulsars that differ from previously known ones in which GPs have been detected without any extremely strong magnetic field on the light cylinder.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures, 1 table; originally published in Russian in Pis'ma Astron.

Detection of Giant Pulses from the Pulsar PSR B0031-07

Giant pulses have been detected from the pulsar PSR B0031-07. A pulse with an intensity higher than the intensity of the average pulse by a factor of 50 or more is encountered approximately once per 300 observed periods. The peak flux density of the strongest pulse is 530 Jy, which is a factor of 120 higher than the peak flux density of the average pulse. The giant pulses are a factor of 20 narrower than the integrated profile and are clustered about its center.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures, to appear in: Pis'ma v Astronomicheskii Zhurnal, 2004, v.30, No.4, and will be translated as: Astronomy Letters, v.30, No.

Color Cerberus

Simple convolutional neural network was able to win ISISPA color constancy competition. Partial reimplementation of (Bianco, 2017) neural architecture would have shown even better results in this setup

Binding energy constraint on matter radius and soft dipole excitations of C-22

An unusually large value of the C-22 matter radius has recently been extracted from measured reaction cross sections. The giant size can be explained by a very loose binding that is, however, not known experimentally yet. Within the three-body cluster model we have explored the sensitivity of the s-motion-dominated C-22 geometry to the two-neutron separation energy. A low energy of a few tens of keV is required to reach the alleged experimental lower value of the matter radius, while the experimental mean radius requires an extremely tiny binding. The dependence of the C-22 charge radius on the two-neutron separation energy is also presented. The soft dipole mode in C-22 is shown to be strongly affected by the loose binding and should be studied in the process of Coulomb fragmentation

Noiseless Collective Motion out of Noisy Chaos

We consider the effect of microscopic external noise on the collective motion of a globally coupled map in fully desynchronized states. Without the external noise a macroscopic variable shows high-dimensional chaos distinguishable from random motion. With the increase of external noise intensity, the collective motion is successively simplified. The number of effective degrees of freedom in the collective motion is found to decrease as $-\log{\sigma^2}$ with the external noise variance $\sigma^2$. It is shown how the microscopic noise can suppress the number of degrees of freedom at a macroscopic level.Comment: 9 pages RevTex file and 4 postscript figure

Modified variable phase method for the solution of coupled radial Schrodinger equations

A modified variable phase method for the numerical solution of coupled radial Schrodinger equations, which maintains linear independence for different sets of solution vectors, is suggested. The modification involves rearrangement of coupled equations to avoid the usual numerical instabilities associated with components of the wave function in their classically forbidden regions. The modified method is applied to nuclear structure calculations of halo nuclei within the hyperspherical harmonics approach
