The Galactic Isotropic $\gamma$-ray Background and Implications for Dark Matter

open access: yes, 2017
We present an analysis of the radial angular profile of the galacto-isotropic (GI) $\gamma$-ray flux--the statistically uniform flux in circular annuli about the Galactic center.

Short-term spectroscopic monitoring of two cool dwarfs with strong magnetic fields

open access: yes, 2009
Context: There is now growing evidence that some brown dwarfs (BDs) have very strong magnetic fields, and yet their surface temperatures are so low that the coupling is expected to be small between the matter and the magnetic field in the atmosphere.

The T Tauri Phase Down to Nearly Planetary Masses: Echelle Spectra of 82 Very Low Mass Stars and Brown Dwarfs

open access: yes, 2005
Using the largest high-resolution spectroscopic sample to date of young, very low mass stars (VLMS) and brown dwarfs (BDs), we investigate disk accretion in objects ranging from just above the hydrogen-burning limit all the way to nearly planetary masses.

Quiescent X-ray emission from an evolved brown dwarf ?

open access: yes, 2004
I report on the X-ray detection of Gl569Bab. During a 25ksec Chandra observation the binary brown dwarf is for the first time spatially separated in X-rays from the flare star primary Gl569A.

A group-theoretic approach to formalizing bootstrapping problems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The bootstrapping problem consists in designing agents that learn a model of themselves and the world, and utilize it to achieve useful tasks. It is different from other learning problems as the agent starts with uninterpreted observations and commands,

An Alternative to the BDS Test: Integration Across The Correlation Integral [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper extends and generalizes the BDS test presented by Brock, Dechert, Scheinkman, and LeBaron (1996). In doing so it aims to remove the limitation of having to arbitrarily select a proximity parameter by integrating across the correlation integral.

The First Ultra-cool Brown Dwarf Discovered by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We report the discovery of the first new ultra-cool brown dwarf (BDs) found with the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). The object’s preliminary designation is WISEPC J045853.90+643451.9.

Duality between Wilson Loops and Scattering Amplitudes

open access: yes, 2008
We summarise the status of an intriguing new duality between planar maximally helicity violating scattering amplitudes and light-like Wilson loops in N=4 super Yang-Mills.
