Dark matter in galaxy clusters: Parametric strong-lensing approach

Benjamin Emmanuel Nicolas Beauchesne

We present a parametric strong-lensing analysis of three massive galaxy clusters for which Hubble Space Telescope imaging is available, as well as spectroscopy of multiply imaged systems and galaxy cluster members. Our aim is to probe the inner shape of da ...

Analysis of Red Supergiants in VDBH 222

Carmela Lardo

Recent surveys uncovered new young massive clusters (YMCs) that host dozens of red supergiants (RSGs) in the inner Milky Way. These clusters are ideal for studying the most recent and violent star formation events in the inner Galaxy. However, due to the h ...

Surface-induced reversal of a phase transformation for the synthesis of epsilon-Fe2O3 nanoparticles with high coercivity

Irena Markovic

A metastable 8-polymorph of iron(III) oxide (epsilon-Fe2O3) is a very attractive material from the technological, engineering, and scientific points of view. In comparison with other iron oxides, it is characterized by unusual magnetic properties and a gia ...

Homogeneity in the early chemical evolution of the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy

Pascale Jablonka, Carmela Lardo, Pierre North, Romain Ely Roland Lucchesi

We present the high-resolution spectroscopic analysis of two new extremely metal-poor star (EMPS) candidates in the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Sextans. These targets were preselected from medium-resolution spectra centered around the CaII triplet in the near- ...

III-Nitride Semiconductor Photonic Nanocavities on Silicon

Ian Michael Rousseau

Optical nanocavities enhance light-matter interaction due to their high quality factors (Q) and small modal volumes (V). The control of light-matter interaction lies at the heart of potential applications for integrated optical circuits, including optical ...

Red Supergiants as Cosmic Abundance Probes: Massive Star Clusters in M83 and the Mass-Metallicity Relation of Nearby Galaxies

Carmela Lardo

We present an abundance analysis of seven super star clusters in the disk of M83. The near-infrared spectra of these clusters are dominated by red supergiants, and the spectral similarity in the J-band of such stars at uniform metallicity means that the in ...

Searching for globular cluster-like abundance patterns in young massive clusters - II. Results from the Antennae galaxies

Carmela Lardo

The presence of multiple populations (MPs) with distinctive light element abundances is a widespread phenomenon in clusters older than 6 Gyr. Clusters with masses, luminosities, and sizes comparable to those of ancient globulars are still forming today. No ...

Quantification of scattering loss of III-nitride photonic crystal cavities in the blue spectral range

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Raphaël Butté, Ian Michael Rousseau, Kanako Shojiki

The mechanisms contributing to experimental quality factors of shortwavelength (lambda = 440-480 nm) III-nitride on silicon one-dimensional photonic crystal cavities were quantified. Fluctuations in fundamental and first-order cavity mode wavelength and qu ...

The extraordinary amount of substructure in the Hubble Frontier Fields cluster Abell 2744

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan, Hakim Atek, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement, David Richard Harvey, Markus Rexroth

We present a joint optical/X-ray analysis of the massive galaxy cluster Abell 2744 (z = 0.308). Our strong- and weak-lensing analysis within the central region of the cluster, i.e. at R < 1 Mpc from the brightest cluster galaxy, reveals eight substructures ...
