Massive Stars as Cosmic Engines through the Ages (2008)
Journal Article
Hirschi, R. (2008). Massive Stars as Cosmic Engines through the Ages. Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 3-16. https://doi.org/10.1017/S1743921308020292

Some useful developments in the model physics are briefly presented, followed by model results on chemical enrichments and WR stars. We discuss the expected rotation velocities of WR stars. We emphasize that the (C+O)/He ratio is a better chemical in... Read More about Massive Stars as Cosmic Engines through the Ages.

Time-lapse geophysical investigations over a simulated urban clandestine grave (2008)
Journal Article
Pringle, J. K., Jervis, J., Cassella, J. P., & Cassidy, N. J. (2008). Time-lapse geophysical investigations over a simulated urban clandestine grave. Journal of Forensic Sciences, 53(6), 1405 -1416. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1556-4029.2008.00884.x

A simulated clandestine shallow grave was created within a heterogeneous, made-ground, urban environment where a clothed, plastic resin, human skeleton, animal products, and physiological saline were placed in anatomically correct positions and re-co...

Contribution of the second Landau level to the exchange energy of the three-dimensional electron gas in a high magnetic field (2008)
Journal Article
(2008). Contribution of the second Landau level to the exchange energy of the three-dimensional electron gas in a high magnetic field. Physical review B: Condensed matter and materials physics, https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.78.085107

We derive a closed analytical expression for the exchange energy of the three-dimensional interacting electron gas in strong magnetic fields, which goes beyond the quantum limit (L=0) by explicitly including the effect of the second, L=1, Landau lev...

Orbital-polarization terms: From a phenomenological to a first-principles description of orbital magnetism in density-functional theory (2008)
Journal Article
(2008). Orbital-polarization terms: From a phenomenological to a first-principles description of orbital magnetism in density-functional theory. International Journal of Quantum Chemistry, 2433 -2441. https://doi.org/10.1002/qua.21784

Phenomenological orbital-polarization (OP) terms have been repeatedly introduced in the single-particle equations of spin-density-functional theory, in order to improve the description of orbital magnetic moments in systems containing transition meta...

The star formation process in the Magellanic Clouds (2008)
Journal Article
M. Oliveira, J. (2008). The star formation process in the Magellanic Clouds. Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, https://doi.org/10.1017/S1743921308028457

The Magellanic Clouds offer unique opportunities to study star formation both on the global scales of an interacting system of gas-rich galaxies, as well as on the scales of individual star-forming clouds. The interstellar media of the Small and Larg... Read More about The star formation process in the Magellanic Clouds.

Stellar Evolution in the Early Universe (2008)
Journal Article
Hirschi, R., Frischknecht, U., -K. Thielemann, F., Pignatari, M., Chiappini, C., Ekstroem, S., …Maeder, A. (2008). Stellar Evolution in the Early Universe. Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 4(S255), https://doi.org/10.1017/S1743921308024976

Massive stars played a key role in the early evolution of the Universe. They formed with the first halos and started the re-ionisation. It is therefore very important to understand their evolution. In this paper, we describe the strong impact of rota... Read More about Stellar Evolution in the Early Universe.

Geophysical characterization of derelict coalmine workings and mineshaft detection: a case study from Shrewsbury, United Kingdom (2008)
Journal Article
Stimpson, Pringle, Pringle, J., Stimpson, I., Toon, S., Caunt, S., …Styles, P. (2008). Geophysical characterization of derelict coalmine workings and mineshaft detection: a case study from Shrewsbury, United Kingdom. Near Surface Geophysics, 6(3), 185 -194. https://doi.org/10.3997/1873-0604.2008014

A study site of derelict coalmine workings near Shrewsbury, United Kingdom was the focus for multi-phase, near-surface geophysical investigations. Investigation objectives were: 1) site characterization for remaining relict infrastructure foundations...
