Giant acceleration in slow-fast space-periodic Hamiltonian systems
Motion of an ensemble of particles in a space-periodic potential well with a
weak wave-like perturbation imposed is considered. We found that slow
oscillations of wavenumber of the perturbation lead to occurrence of directed
particle current. This current is amplifying with time due to giant
acceleration of some particles. It is shown that giant acceleration is linked
with the existence of resonant channels in phase space
Nanoscopy of pairs of atoms by fluorescence in a magnetic field
Spontaneous emission spectra of two initially excited closely spaced
identical atoms are very sensitive to the strength and the direction of the
applied magnetic field. The relevant schemes are considered that ensure the
determination of the mutual spatial orientation of the atoms and the distance
between them by entirely optical means. A corresponding theoretical description
is given accounting for the dipole-dipole interaction between the two atoms in
the presence of a magnetic field and for polarizations of the quantum field
interacting with magnetic sublevels of the two-atom system
6-meter telescope observations of three dwarf spheroidal galaxies with very low surface brightness
Dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) are mostly investigated in the Local Group.
DSphs are difficult targets for observations because of their small size and
very low surface brightness. Here we measure spectroscopic and photometric
parameters of three candidates for isolated dSphs, KKH65=BTS23, KK180, and
KK227, outside the Local Group. The galaxies are found to be of low metallicity
and low velocity dispersion. They are among the lowest surface brightness
objects in the Local Universe. According to the measured radial velocities,
metallicities, and structural and photometric parameters, KKH65 and KK227 are
representatives of the ultra-diffuse quenched galaxies. KKH65 and KK227 belong
to the outer parts of the groups NGC3414 and NGC5371, respectively. KK180 is
located in the Virgo cluster infall region.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, 3 tables, 3 Appendices with 5 figures and 3
