  • The Census of Warm Debris Disks in the Solar Neighborhood from WISE and Hipparcos
    Rahul I. Patel / Rahul IPatel
    Debris disks are optically thin circumstellar disks around mainsequence stars, comprised of micron-sized grains. The dust is generated from destructive collisions of planetesimals, induced from gravitational perturbations by large planets. Debris disks can as signposts for planetary systems, through which, a universal picture can be obtained that encompasses the evolution and a...

  • The Substance of Spacetime
    Andrew Martin Ryan
    Does Spacetime Exist?If spacetime does not exist, it certainly does so in a curiously conspicuous way, not at all like other geometric abstractions. Consider this mindbender: spacetime does not exist at all, but it doesn't exist in the void even more than it doesn't exist in the universe. Is that the description of something that does not exist?Relativity theory treats ...

  • Differentiability and Fractality in Dynamics of Physical Systems
    Ioan Merches / Maricel Agop
     Using Cartan's differential 1-forms theory, and assuming that the motion variables depend on Euclidean invariants, certain dynamics of the material point and systems of material points are developed. Within such a frame, the Newtonian force as mass inertial interaction at the intragalactic scale, and the Hubble-type repulsive interaction at intergalactic distances, are dev...
