Description
A fully quantum model describing the angular distribution of the bremsstrahlung photon emission accompanying the α-decay of a deformed nucleus is presented for the first time. An analytical dependence of the bremsstrahlung probability on the quadrupole deformation parameter β of the decaying nucleus has been found. Such a model and the detailed formalism allow us to calculate the stable spectra of the bremsstrahlung emission probability for different values of the angle between the direction of the α-particle motion and the symmetry axis of the decaying nucleus. We present the results of this new model by the calculation of the photon emission probability accompanying the α-decay of the 226Ra nucleus which has the nuclear deformation parameter β=0.151. The results show by a clear way the role and the influence of the nuclear deformation of the decaying nucleus on the bremsstrahlung photon spectrum.

However, in the vicinity of the star (typically below 300 mas), this technique suffers from signal self-subtraction when there is not enough field rotation. Building large libraries of

    Hints of auroral and magnetospheric polarized radio emission from the scallop-shell star 2MASS J05082729–2101444
    Scallop-shell stars, a recently discovered class of young M dwarfs, show complex optical light curves that are characterized by periodic dips as well as other features that are stable over tens to hundreds of rotation cycles. The origin of these features is not well-understood. 2MASS J05082729‑2101444 is a ∼25 Myr old scallop-shell star that was

    Assessing your Observatory's Impact: Best Practices in Establishing and Maintaining Observatory Bibliographies
    Observatories need to measure and evaluate the scientific output and overall impact of their facilities. An observatory bibliography consists of the papers published using that observatory's data, typically gathered by searching the major journals for relevant keywords. Recently, the volume of literature and methods by which the publications pool
