Highly structured inner planetary system debris around the intermediate age Sun-like star TYC 8830 410 1 [PDF]
We present detailed characterization of the extremely dusty main sequence star TYC 8830 410 1. This system hosts inner planetary system dust (Tdust~300 K) with a fractional infrared luminosity of ~1%. Mid-infrared spectroscopy reveals a strong, mildy-crystalline solid-state emission feature.

Superconductivity, d Charge-Density Wave and Electronic Raman Scattering in High-T$_c$ Superconductors [PDF]
The competition of superconductivity and a d charge-density wave (CDW) is studied in the t-J model as a function of temperature at large N where N is the number of spin components. Applying the theory to electronic Raman scattering the temperature dependence of the $B_{1g}$ and the $A_{1g}$ spectra are discussed for a slightly underdoped case.

The residual mass of the pion in a finite spatial box at vanishing quark masses, the mass gap, is computed with two flavors of dynamical clover fermions. The result is compared with predictions of chiral perturbation theory in the delta regime.

Prototype model for nuclear spin conversion in molecules: The case of "hydrogen" [PDF]
Using the concept of the so-called quantum relaxation, we build a semiphenomenological model for orto-para conversion of nuclear spin isomers of hydrogen-type molecules.

Film Thickness controlled photoluminescence Emission in ZnO:Si Nano-composites [PDF]
As grown ZnO:Si nanocomposite films fabricated by thermal evaporation showed broad photoluiminescence (PL) spectra due to merging of four prominent peaks viz 370, 410, 470 and 520 nm. Investigations revealed the role of interface in contributing to the two blue peaks at 410 and 470 nm.

Hubble Space Telescope Photometry of the Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy ESO 410-G005 [PDF]
We present HST WFPC2 imaging of the nearby low-surface-brightness dwarf spheroidal galaxy ESO 410-G005, which has been resolved into stars for the first time. The resulting color-magnitude diagram for about 2500 stars shows a red giant branch branch with a tip at I=(22.4+-0.15), which yields a distance of D=(1.9+-0.2) Mpc.

Transit timing variations, radial velocities and long-term dynamical stability of the system Kepler-410 [PDF]
Transit timing variations of Kepler-410Ab were already reported in a few papers. Their semi-amplitude is about 14.5 minutes. In our previous paper, we found that the transit timing variations could be caused by the presence of a stellar companion in this system.

Magnetic fields in the Centaurus cluster [PDF]
We present multi-frequency VLA observations of the radio galaxy PKS 1246-410 at the center of the Centaurus Cluster, and compare these results to recent Chandra observations. The unusual radio morphology of PKS 1246-410 probably results from interactions with the hot, X-ray emitting gas.
