Weak lensing of the CMB

, 2009
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) represents a unique source for the study of gravitational lensing. It is extended across the entire sky, partially polarized, located at the extreme distance of z=1100, and is thought to have the simple, underlying ...

‘Fish in simulated water’? A Bourdieusian analysis of Chinese doctoral students' learning experiences in Southeast Asian developing countries

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract International student mobility (ISM) has historically followed a pattern of movement from developing regions to developed countries. However, in recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of Chinese students pursuing doctoral studies in Southeast Asian developing countries, an area that has received relatively little ...

Microlensing-Based Studies of the Unresolved Structure of AGNs and the Composition of Lensing Galaxies

Open Astronomy, 2011
Multiple images of quasars formed by gravitational lensing are typically seen through the lensing galaxy. The granulation of the galaxy in stars or other compact objects induces local (‘microscopic’) but strong fluctuations in the gravitational potential

Nova Geminorum 1912 and the Origin of the Idea of Gravitational Lensing

, 2007
Einstein's early calculations of gravitational lensing, contained in a scratch notebook and dated to the spring of 1912, are reexamined. A hitherto unknown letter by Einstein suggests that he entertained the idea of explaining the phenomenon of new stars

Gravitational Lensing & Stellar Dynamics [PDF]

, 2005
Strong gravitational lensing and stellar dynamics provide two complementary and orthogonal constraints on the density profiles of galaxies. Based on spherically symmetric, scale-free, mass models, it is shown that the combination of both techniques is ...

The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Gravitational Lensing at Millimeter Wavelengths

, 2002
With today's millimeter and submillimeter instruments observers use gravitational lensing mostly as a tool to boost the sensitivity when observing distant objects.

Plasmakristall‐4 Experiment: 10 Years of Operation in Orbit

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plasmakristall‐4 (PK‐4) is a microgravity complex plasma laboratory operated for 10 years on board the International Space Station. Its main purpose is the particle‐resolved investigation of generic condensed matter phenomena using strongly coupled suspensions of microparticles immersed in low‐pressure gas‐discharge plasmas.
