Photometric and spectroscopic data of the energetic Type Ic supernova (SN) 2002ap are presented, properties SN investigated through models its spectral evolution light curve. The is spectroscopically similar to "hypernova" 1997ef. However, kinetic energy [~(4-10) × 1051 ergs] mass ejected (2.5-5 M☉) smaller, resulting in a faster evolving synthesized ~0.07 M☉ 56Ni, peak luminosity was that normal SNe. Brightness alone should not be used define hypernova, whose defining character, namely very...

Interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) from an Auger-final dicationic state is observed in the Ar dimer. A $2p$ inner-shell vacancy created by photoionization replaced with $3s$ and $3p$ vacancies via intra-atomic Auger decay. The subject to ICD which one of electrons same atom fills while neighboring emitted as electron. This process unambiguously identified electron-ion-ion coincidence spectroscopy kinetic energy electron release between ${\mathrm{Ar}}^{+}$ ${\mathrm{Ar}}^{2+}$ are measured coincidence.

Recent observations have revealed that Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are not perfect standard candles; they show variations in their absolute magnitudes, light-curve shapes, and spectra. The C/O ratio the SNe progenitors (C-O white dwarfs) may be related to this variation. In work, we systematically investigate effects of stellar mass (M) metallicity (Z) on its distribution C-O dwarfs by calculating evolution from main sequence through end second dredge-up for M=3-9 M☉ Z=0.001-0.03. We find...

High-entropy-alloy (HEA) superconductors are a new class of disordered superconductors. However, commonality superconducting characteristics HEA materials is unclear. Here, we have investigated the crystal and electronic structure, robustness states in HEA-type metal telluride (MTe; M = Ag, In, Sn, Pb, Bi) under high pressure, results were compared with pressure effects for middle-entropy system (AgPbBiTe3) reference PbTe. When structure CsCl-type, all phases show superconductivity but...
Variable Star Network (VSNET, http://www.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp/vsnet/) is a global professional-amateur network of researchers in variable stars and related objects, particularly transient such as cataclysmic variables, black hole binaries, supernovae gamma-ray bursts. The VSNET has been playing pioneering role establishing the field "transient object astronomy", by effectively incorporating modern advance observational astronomy electronic network, well collaborative progress theoretical...
