Zero energy correction method for non-Hermitian Harmonic oscillator with simultaneous transformation of co-ordinate and momentum: Wave function analysis under Iso-spectral condition

We present a complete analysis on energy and wave function of Harmonic oscillator with simultaneous non-hermitian transformation of co-ordinate ($(x \rightarrow \frac{(x+ i\lambda p)}{\sqrt{(1+\beta \lambda)}}$ and momentum $(p \rightarrow \frac{(p+ i\beta x)}{\sqrt{(1+\beta \lambda)}}$ for getting energy eigenvalue using perturbation theory under iso-spectral condition. Further we notice that two different frequency of oscillation ($w_{1}, w_{2}$)correspond to same energy eigenvalue, which can also be verified using Lie algebraic approach [Zhang et.al J.Math.Phys 56 ,072103 (2015)]. Interestingly wave function analysis using similarity transformation [F.M. Fernandez, Int. J. Theo. Phys. (2015)(in Press)] refers to a very special case.Comment: This paper for replacement .(i) Minor change in title reflecting wave function analysis(ii) Abstract-chaed suitably to refect wave function (iii) Text original work with information on wave function ,comparison and slight modification in references.Kindly accep

New Models for X-Ray Synchrotron Radiation from the Remnant of Supernova 1006 AD

Galactic cosmic rays up to energies of around 10^15 eV are assumed to originate in supernova remnants (SNRs). The shock wave of a young SNR like SN 1006 AD can accelerate electrons to energies greater than 1 TeV, where they can produce synchrotron radiation in the X-ray band. A new model (SRESC) designed to model synchrotron X-rays from Type Ia supernovae can constrain values for the magnetic-field strength and electron scattering properties, with implications for the acceleration of the unseen ions which dominate the cosmic-ray energetics. New observations by ASCA, ROSAT, and RXTE have provided enormously improved data, which now extend to higher X-ray energies. These data allow much firmer constraints. We will describe model fits to these new data on SN 1006 AD, emphasizing the physical constraints that can be placed on SNRs and on the cosmic-ray acceleration process.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figures. to appear in "Cosmic Explosions", proceeding of the 10th Annual October Astrophysics Conference (ed.

Zhang Peili

In 2014, New York-based artist Lois Conner gifted one of pioneering Chinese artist Zhang Peili’s last paintings to The Australian National University’s newly opened Australian Centre on China in the World. Never exhibited and thought lost, the reemergence of Flying Machine (1994) prompts an exploration of the relation between painting and video in the oeuvre of Zhang Peili. Given Zhang’s significance as a leading conceptual painter in the 1980s, then as a media art pioneer and educator in the 1990s and 2000s, Zhang Peili: From Painting to Video is also a nuanced study of broader developments in Chinese contemporary art’s history. Featuring contributions by historian Geremie R. Barmé, photographer Lois Conner, art historians John Clark, Katie Grube, and Olivier Krischer, and curator Kim Machan, these essays together challenge the narrative of Zhang as ‘the father of Chinese video art’, highlighting instead the conceptual consistency, rigour, and formal experimentation in his work, which transcends a specific medium. By equal measure, the book embraces longstanding connections as integral to its meaning, connections between artists, curators and researchers, collaborators, colleagues and friends through China and Australia

Timing, glitches and braking index of PSR B0540-69

We report a pulse-time history of PSR B0540$-$69 based on the analysis of an extended Data set including ASCA, BeppoSAX and RXTE observations spanning a time interval of about 8 years. This interval includes also the epoch of the glitch episode reported by Zhang et al. (2001). Our analysis shows the presence of a relevant timing noise and does not give a clear evidence of the glitch occurrence. We performed an accurate evaluation of the main timing parameters, $\nu$, $\dot{\nu}$ and $\ddot{\nu}$ and derived a mean braking index of $n=2.125\pm0.001$ quite different from the lower value found by Zhang et al. (2001), but in rather good agreement with other several values reported in the literature.Comment: 9 pages 5 figures, accepted by A&A, main journa
