Orbit Dynamics, Stability and Chaos in Planetary Systems
Let us start with a problem of dynamical biology, which was posed about 800 years ago by Fibonacci1

Hadron Structure and QCD: Effective Field Theory for Lattice Simulations
Chiral extrapolations will be essential for many years if one is to connect modern lattice QCD calculations with experiment. Given the enormous...

Quark Propagator from LQCD and Its Physical Implications
The quark propagator lies at the core of lattice hadron spectrum calculations as well as studies in other nonperturbative schemes. It manifestly...

Spin-Based Quantum Dot Quantum Computing
This chapter is an overview of the research on spin-based quantum dot quantum computation, which covers two most prominent architectures, one based...

Planet Formation
Motivating the study of planet formation is not difficult for any curious audience. One of the fundamental human questions is that of origins: “where...

Baryon Spectroscopy in Lattice QCD
We review recent developments in the study of excited baryon spectroscopy in lattice QCD. After introducing the basic methods used to extract masses...

Hadron Properties with FLIC Fermions
The Fat-Link Irrelevant Clover (FLIC) fermion action provides a new form of nonperturbative O(a)-improvement in lattice fermion actions offering near...

Computing the η and η′ Mesons in Lattice QCD
It has been known for a long time that the large experimental singlet-octet mass gap in the pseudoscalar meson mass spectrum originates from the...

Clusters of Galaxies at High Redshift
For a long time, the small number of clusters at z > 0.3 in the Abell survey catalogue and simulations of the standard CDM formation of large scale...

Velocity Dispersion Analysis of CNOC Clusters
I present results of the analysis of the internal velocity dispersions,...

The Metal Enrichment History of Clusters of Galaxies
The ratio of the total iron mass in the ICM to the total optical luminosity of the cluster (the iron mass-to-light-ratio) is the same for all...

Supernovae at High Redshift
Distant supernovae provide a convenient tool for cosmology. As bright beacons with small variation in their peak luminosity Type Ia Supernovae can be...

The Galactic Bulge: Prospects for the VLT
The central bulge of the Galaxy is 100 times closer than the nearest extragalactic bulge, that of M31. Until the era of 100m telescopes arrives, the...

The Old Population of the Magellanic Clouds
The brightest old stars in the LMC are as faint as V=16 (V=16.5 in the SMC). The VLT with UVES or GIRAFFE will provide, for the first time, high...

The Stellar Mass Function
Considerable progress has been made recently in more accurately determining the frequency distribution of stellar masses in the critical 0.1 to 1 m...

Discovery of an X-Ray Outburst in an Optically Non-Active Galaxy
The main X-ray and optical properties of a very luminous X-ray outburst source are summarized. The results are: large variability in X-ray emission...

Gamma-Ray Observations of Black Holes: The Prospects of INTEGRAL
In this paper we describe the upcoming European gamma-ray observatory INTEGRAL (International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory). This ESA satellite...

A Search for the Presence of Bow Shocks around High-Mass X-Ray Binaries
The measured radial velocities, and the recently derived tangential velocities based on Hipparcos observations, have demonstrated that several...

X-Ray Candidates for a Population of Nuclear Cores in Local Group Galaxies
Because of their closeness, the galaxies of the Local Group are an interesting sample for finding weak manifestations of nuclear activity (as is...

Evidence of a Supernova Origin for the Black Hole in GRO J1655-40 (Nova Scorpii 1994)
We report the discovery of a strong overabundance of several $\alpha$...
