Sub-parsec-scale Accleration of the Radio Jet in the Powerful Radio Galaxy NGC 6251
In order to investigate the genesis of powerful radio jet, we have mapped the
central 10 pc region of the nearby radio galaxy NGC 6251 with a 0.2 pc
resolution using Very Long Baseline Interferometer (VLBI) at two radio
frequencies, 5 GHz and 15 GHz, we have found the sub-parsec-scale counterjet
for the first time in this radio galaxy. This discovery allows us to
investigate the jet acceleration based on the relativistic beaming model.Comment: 7 pages with 7 figures. To appear in PASJ, 52, No. 5, Oct. 25, 200
On time-local solvability of the Navier-Stokes equations in Besov spaces
A time-local solution is constructed for the Cauchy problem of the nÂdimensional l'\avier-Stokes equations when the initial velocity belongs to Besov spaces of non positive order. The space contains Lâ in some exponents, so our solution may not decay at space infinity. In order to use iteration scheme we have to establish the Holder type inequality for estimating bilinear term by dividing the sum of Besov norm with respect to levels of frequency. Moreover, by regularizing effect our solutions belongs to Lâ for any positive time
On analyticity rate estimates of the solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in Bessel-potential spaces
The locally-in-time solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in H%-1(Rn ) are regular for t > 0. The spatial analyticity is established by deriving rate estimates of higher order derivatives of the solutions. The solutions or the initial velocities need not be small. The estimates also provide the decay estimate on derivatives for large time. Although the basic strategy to derive estimates is similar to our previous results with Y. Giga for Ln space, we are forced to apply several tools from harmonic analysis since our space 1{%-1 is more complicated
Hydrodynamic Simulations of Counterrotating Accretion Disks
Hydrodynamic simulations have been used to study accretion disks consisting
of counterrotating components with an intervening shear layer(s).
Configurations of this type can arise from the accretion of newly supplied
counterrotating matter onto an existing corotating disk. The grid-dependent
numerical viscosity of our hydro code is used to simulate the influence of a
turbulent viscosity of the disk. Firstly, we consider the case where the gas
well above the disk midplane rotates with angular rate +\Omega(r) and that well
below has the same properties but rotates with rate -\Omega(r). We find that
there is angular momentum annihilation in a narrow equatorial boundary layer in
which matter accretes supersonically with a velocity which approaches the
free-fall velocity and the average accretion speed of the disk can be
enormously larger than that for a conventional \alpha-disk rotating in one
direction. Secondly, we consider the case of a corotating accretion disk for
rr_t. In this case we observed, that
matter from the annihilation layer lost its stability and propagated inward
pushing matter of inner regions of the disk to accrete. Thirdly, we
investigated the case where counterrotating matter inflowing from large radial
distances encounters an existing corotating disk. Friction between the
inflowing matter and the existing disk is found to lead to fast boundary layer
accretion along the disk surfaces and to enhanced accretion in the main disk.
These models are pertinent to the formation of counterrotating disks in
galaxies and possibly in Active Galactic Nuclei and in X-ray pulsars in binary
systems.Comment: LaTeX, 18 pages, to appear in Ap
First-Principles Computation of YVO3; Combining Path-Integral Renormalization Group with Density-Functional Approach
We investigate the electronic structure of the transition-metal oxide YVO3 by
a hybrid first-principles scheme. The density-functional theory with the
local-density-approximation by using the local muffin-tin orbital basis is
applied to derive the whole band structure. The electron degrees of freedom far
from the Fermi level are eliminated by a downfolding procedure leaving only the
V 3d t2g Wannier band as the low-energy degrees of freedom, for which a
low-energy effective model is constructed. This low-energy effective
Hamiltonian is solved exactly by the path-integral renormalization group
method. It is shown that the ground state has the G-type spin and the C-type
orbital ordering in agreement with experimental indications. The indirect
charge gap is estimated to be around 0.7 eV, which prominently improves the
previous estimates by other conventional methods
Affleck-Dine leptogenesis via multiscalar evolution in a supersymmetric seesaw model
A leptogenesis scenario in a supersymmetric standard model extended with
introducing right-handed neutrinos is reconsidered. Lepton asymmetry is
produced in the condensate of a right-handed sneutrino via the Affleck-Dine
mechanism. The LH_u direction develops large value due to a negative effective
mass induced by the right-handed sneutrino condensate through the Yukawa
coupling of the right-handed neutrino, even if the minimum during the inflation
is fixed at the origin. The lepton asymmetry is nonperturbatively transfered to
the LH_u direction by this Yukawa coupling.Comment: 19 pages, 3 figures. Revised version for publication. The model was
