    Description: The evolution of Australian radio astronomy from 1945 to 1960 has been studied in detail by numerous historians of science in recent years. This Open Access book is the first to present an overview of this remarkable chapter in Australian science. The book begins in the post-war period, as the Radiophysics Laboratory in Sydney switched from secret wartime research on radar to peacetime applications of this new technology. Next follows the detection of radio waves from space and the ensuing transformation of this fledgling science into the dominant research program at the Radiophysics Lab. Drawing from this history, the book shows how by 1960 the Radiophysics Lab had become the largest and most successful radio astronomy group in the world. The final chapter presents an overview of Australian radio astronomy from 1960 to the present day, as Australia prepares to co-host the multi-national, multi-billion-dollar Square Kilometre Array. Nearly 300 high-quality images complement the text, drawn from a wide range of sources including the extensive collection held by the CSIRO Radio Astronomy Image Archive. The book will be an essential reference for readers interested in the scientific and cultural development of radio astronomy. This book is published open access under a CC BY 4.0 license.

    Description: Volcanic eruptions contribute to climate variability, but quantifying these contributions has been limited by inconsistencies in the timing of atmospheric volcanic aerosol loading determined from ice cores and subsequent cooling from climate proxies such as tree rings. Here we resolve these inconsistencies and show that large eruptions in the tropics and high latitudes were primary drivers of interannual-to-decadal temperature variability in the Northern Hemisphere during the past 2,500 years. Our results are based on new records of atmospheric aerosol loading developed from high-resolution, multi-parameter measurements from an array of Greenland and Antarctic ice cores as well as distinctive age markers to constrain chronologies. Overall, cooling was proportional to the magnitude of volcanic forcing and persisted for up to ten years after some of the largest eruptive episodes. Our revised timescale more firmly implicates volcanic eruptions as catalysts in the major sixth-century pandemics, famines, and socioeconomic disruptions in Eurasia and Mesoamerica while allowing multi-millennium quantification of climate response to volcanic forcing.

    Notes: Summary It is shown that the behaviour of the temperature dependence of the critical current in polycrystalline thin films of high-T c superconductors depends crucially on the assumption made concerning the nature of the intergranular material. The usual assumption of a superconductor-insulator-superconductor (=SIS) «sandwich» between each grain leads to a crossover fromI c∼(1−T/T c) toI c∼(1−T/T c)3/2, for temperatures nearT c (whereI c is the critical current,T the absolute temperature, andT c the superconducting transition temperature). Instead, for a superconductor-normal metal-superconductor (=SNS) sandwich the dependenceI c∼(1−T/T c)2 is found for all temperatures. Consideration is given to the effect of self-magnetic field on the analysis. The comparison between expressions for continuous and granular systems is extended.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto Si propone di calcolare la densità elettronica e l’energia dello stato fondamentale dei solidi con un nuovo metodo che utilizza un piccolo numero di atomi e impone la simmetria propria del cristallo attorno all’atomo centrale. Si eseguono calcoli sull’elio solido nella simmetria esagonale compatta. La densità elettronica del metodo Hartree-Fock differisce dalla somma delle densità atomiche. L’attrazione tra gli atomi è dovuta esclusivamente all’energia di correlazione e non può essere espressa come somma dei potenziali tra due atomi; essa contiene termini di ordine superiore, che tendono a diminuire l’attrazione di Van der Waals.
    Abstract: Резюме Для вычисления электронной плотности и энергии основного состояния твердого тела предлагается новый метод, при котором испольсуется небольшое число атомов при собственной симметрии кристалла вокруг центральноого атома. Проводятся вычисления в случае твердого гелия при шестиугольной компактной симметрии. Электронная плотность метода Гартпии-Фока (Hartree-Fock) отличается от суммы атомных плотностей. Притяжение между атомами обусловлено только энергией корреляции и не выразимо через сумму потенциалов между двумя атомами. В ней имеются слагаемые высшего порядка при которых уменьшается притяжение Ван дер Ваалса (Van der Waals).
    Notes: Summary We propose a new method based on small clusters with the constraint of periodic symmetry to compute electron density and ground-state electronic energy of solids. Calculations are carried out on h.c.p. solid helium, and the Hartree-Fock density is shown to differ from the sum of atomic densities. The correlation energy is responsible for the existence of a small attractive energy per atom, which depends on the lattice parameters. The binding energy per atom cannot be expressed as the sum of two-atom interatomic potentials, but interatomic interactions to higher order must be included. Their effect is to decrease the Van der Waals attraction and to increase the hard-core repulsion.

    Notes: [Auszug] Brown dwarfs are not massive enough to sustain thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen at their centres, but are distinguished from gas-giant planets by their ability to burn deuterium. Brown dwarfs older than ∼10 Myr are expected to possess short-lived magnetic fields and to emit radio and ...

    Notes: [Auszug] Are we alone? Although the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) has yet to detect a signal, the efforts continue because so little of the possible parameter space has been searched so far. These projects have almost all followed the dominant paradigm — launched 45 years ago by ...
