catena-Poly[[[aqua(5-nitrobenzene-1,2,3-tricarboxylato-κO 1)copper(II)]-di-μ-aqua-[diaquasodium]-di-μ-aqua] tetrahydrate]
In the heteronuclear coordination polymer, {[CuNa(C9H2NO8)(H2O)7]·4H2O}n, the CuII atom is coordinated by six O atoms from five water molecules and one 5-nitrobenzene-1,2,3-tricarboxylate ligand in a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. The Na+ cation is surrounded by six water molecules in an irregular trigonal-prismatic geometry. The Cu and Na atoms are connected by water bridges, forming an infinite chain. O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the coordinated and uncoordinated water molecules connect the chains into a three-dimensional network
Parton Distributions from Boosted Fields in the Coulomb Gauge
We propose a new method to calculate parton distribution functions (PDFs)
from correlations of boosted quarks and gluons in the Coulomb gauge. Compared
to the widely used quasi-PDFs defined from gauge-invariant Wilson-line
operators, such correlations offer advantages including absence of linear power
divergence, enhanced long-range precision, and accessibility to larger off-axis
momenta. We verify the validity of this method at next-to-leading order in
perturbation theory and use it to calculate the pion valence quark PDF on a
lattice with spacing fm and valence pion mass MeV. Our
result agrees with that from the gauge-invariant quasi-PDF at similar
precision, achieved with only half the computational cost through a large
off-axis momentum GeV. This opens the door to a more
efficient way to calculate parton physics on the lattice.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, and the appendi
White dwarf-main sequence binaries from LAMOST: the DR1 catalogue
Context. White dwarf-main sequence (WDMS) binaries are used to study several
different important open problems in modern astrophysics.
Aims. The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) identified the largest catalogue of
WDMS binaries currently known. However, this sample is seriously affected by
selection effects and the population of systems containing cool white dwarfs
and early-type companions is under-represented.Here we search for WDMS binaries
within the spectroscopic data release 1 of the LAMOST (Large sky Area
Multi-Object fiber Spectroscopic Telescope) survey. LAMOST and SDSS follow
different target selection algorithms. Hence, LAMOST WDMS binaries may be drawn
from a different parent population and thus help in overcoming the selection
effects incorporated by SDSS on the current observed population.
Methods. We develop a fast and efficient routine based on the wavelet
transform to identify LAMOST WDMS binaries containing a DA white dwarf and a M
dwarf companion, and apply a decomposition/fitting routine to their LAMOST
spectra to estimate their distances and measure their stellar parameters,
namely the white dwarf effective temperatures, surface gravities and masses,
and the secondary star spectral types.
Results. We identify 121 LAMOST WDMS binaries, 80 of which are new
discoveries, and estimate the sample to be \sim90 per cent complete. The LAMOST
and SDSS WDMS binaries are found to be statistically different. However, this
result is not due to the different target selection criteria of both surveys,
but likely a simple consequence of the different observing conditions. Thus,
the LAMOST population is found at considerably shorter distances (\sim50-450
pc) and is dominated by systems containing early-type companions and hot white
dwarfs. (abridged)Comment: 14 pages, 8 figures, accepted for publication in A&
2-[5-(1,3-Benzodioxol-5-yl)-3-ferrocenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]-4-phenyl-1,3-thiazole
In the title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C24H18N3O2S)], the pyrazoline ring adopts a twist conformation. The thiazole ring forms dihedral angles of 83.7 (2) and 34.4 (2)° with the benzene ring of the benzodioxole ring and the fused phenyl ring, respectively. The molecular conformation is stabilized by an intramolecular C—H⋯π interaction. The crystal packing features intermolecular C—H⋯N, C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak C—H⋯π interactions
1-(4-tert-Butylbenzyl)-3-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylic acid
In the title compound, C21H22N2O2, the mean plane of the pyrazole ring makes dihedral angles of 18.80 (12) and 77.13 (5)°, respectively, with the mean planes of the phenyl and tert-butylbenzyl rings. The carboxylate group is inclined at 8.51 (14)° with respect to the pyrazole ring. The crystal structure displays intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding, generating centrosymmetric dimers
