© 2015 The Authors. We aim to characterize high-velocity (HiVel) stars in the solar vicinity both chemically and kinematically using the fourth data release of the RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE). We used a sample of 57HiVel starswith Galactic rest... Read More about Characterizing the high-velocity stars of RAVE: the discovery of a metal-rich halo star born in the Galactic disc.

Detection limits of organic compounds achievable with intense, short-pulse lasers (2015)
Journal Article
Miles, J., De Camillis, S., Alexander, G., Hamilton, K., Kelly, T. J., Costello, J. T., …Greenwood, J. B. (2015). Detection limits of organic compounds achievable with intense, short-pulse lasers. Analyst, 140(12), 4270-4276. https://doi.org/10.1039/c5an00529a

Many organic molecules have strong absorption bands which can be accessed by ultraviolet short pulse lasers to produce efficient ionization. This resonant multiphoton ionization scheme has already been exploited as an ionization source in time-of-fli...

Ideal negative measurements in quantum walks disprove theories based on classical trajectories (2015)
Journal Article
Robens, C., Alt, W., Meschede, D., Emary, C., & Alberti, A. (2015). Ideal negative measurements in quantum walks disprove theories based on classical trajectories. Physical Review X, 5(1), Article 011003. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevX.5.011003

We report on a stringent test of the nonclassicality of the motion of a massive quantum particle, which propagates on a discrete lattice. Measuring temporal correlations of the position of single atoms performing a quantum walk, we observe a 6σ viola...

Identification of globular cluster stars in RAVE data - I. Application to stellar parameter calibration (2015)
Journal Article
Anguiano, B., Zucker, D. B., Scholz, R. D., Grebel, E. K., Seabroke, G., Kunder, A., …Watson, F. (2015). Identification of globular cluster stars in RAVE data - I. Application to stellar parameter calibration. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 451(2), 1229-1246. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv800

We present the identification of potential members of nearby Galactic globular clusters using radial velocities from the RAdial Velocity Experiment Data Release 4 (RAVE-DR4) survey data base. Our identifications are based on three globular clusters –... Read More about Identification of globular cluster stars in RAVE data - I. Application to stellar parameter calibration.
