Report of the Working Group on the Composition of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays
For the first time a proper comparison of the average depth of shower maximum
() published by the Pierre Auger and Telescope Array Observatories
is presented. The distributions measured by the Pierre Auger
Observatory were fit using simulated events initiated by four primaries
(proton, helium, nitrogen and iron). The primary abundances which best describe
the Auger data were simulated through the Telescope Array (TA) Middle Drum (MD)
fluorescence and surface detector array. The simulated events were analyzed by
the TA Collaboration using the same procedure as applied to their data. The
result is a simulated version of the Auger data as it would be observed by TA.
This analysis allows a direct comparison of the evolution of with energy of both data sets. The
measured by TA-MD is consistent with a preliminary simulation of the Auger data
through the TA detector and the average difference between the two data sets
was found to be .Comment: To appear in the Proceedings of the UHECR workshop, Springdale USA,

Critical study of the distribution of rotational velocities of Be stars; II: Differential rotation and some hidden effects interfering with the interpretation of the Vsin i parameter
We assume that stars may undergo surface differential rotation to study its
impact on the interpretation of and on the observed distribution
of ratios of true rotational velocities u=V/V_\rm c (V_\rm c is
the equatorial critical velocity). We discuss some phenomena affecting the
formation of spectral lines and their broadening, which can obliterate the
information carried by concerning the actual stellar rotation. We
studied the line broadening produced by several differential rotational laws,
but adopted Maunder's expression
as an attempt to account for
all of these laws with the lowest possible number of free parameters. We
studied the effect of the differential rotation parameter on the
measured parameter and on the distribution of ratios
u=V/V_\rm c. We conclude that the inferred is smaller than
implied by the actual equatorial linear rotation velocity V_\rm eq if the
stars rotate with . For a
given the deviations of are larger when . If
the studied Be stars have on average , the number of rotators with
V_\rm eq\simeq0.9V_\rm c is larger than expected from the observed
distribution ; if these stars have on average , this number
is lower than expected. We discuss seven phenomena that contribute either to
narrow or broaden spectral lines, which blur the information on the rotation
carried by and, in particular, to decide whether the Be phenomenon
mostly rely on the critical rotation. We show that two-dimensional radiation
transfer calculations are needed in rapid rotators to diagnose the stellar
rotation more reliably.Comment: To appear in A&
