Radial-velocity Precision of ESPRESSO Through the Analysis of the Solar Twin HIP 11915

Different stellar phenomena affect radial velocities (RVs), causing variations large enough to make it difficult to identify planet signals from the stellar variability. RV variations caused by stellar oscillations and granulation can be reduced through some methods, but the impact of rotationally modulated magnetic activity on RV, due to stellar active regions, is harder to correct. New instrumentation promises an improvement in precision of one order of magnitude, from about 1 m s{sup -1} to about 10 cm s{sup -1}. In this context, we report our first results from 24 spectroscopic Echelle SPectrograph for Rocky Exoplanets and Stable Spectroscopic Observations (ESPRESSO)/Very-Large Telescope observations of the solar twin star HIP 11915, spread over 60 nights. We used a Gaussian Process approach and found for HIP 11915 a RV residual rms scatter of about 20 cm s{sup -1}, representing an upper limit for the performance of ESPRESSO.

PM-HIP Mechanical Data Archive

This is the mechanical testing data archive from a neutron irradiation campaign of nuclear structural alloys fabricated by powder metallurgy with hot isostatic pressing (PM-HIP). Data in this archive include uniaxial tensile testing data, fractography of selected tensile bars, and nanoindentation. The irradiation campaign was designed to facilitate a direct comparison of PM-HIP to conventional casting or forging. Five common nuclear structural alloys were included in the campaign: 316L stainless steel, SA508 pressure vessel steel, Grade 91 ferritic steel, and Ni-base alloys 625 and 690. Irradiations were carried out in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to target doses of 1 and 3 displacements per atom (dpa) at target temperatures of 300ºC and 400ºC through the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy, Nuclear Science User Facilities (NSUF) project 15-8242.

Simulated studies of wear and friction in total hip prosthesis components with various ball sizes and surface finishes

Experiments were conducted on a newly designed total hip joint simulator. The apparatus closely simulates the complex motions and loads of the human hip in normal walking. The wear and friction of presently used appliance configurations and materials were determined. A surface treatment of the metal femoral ball specimens was applied to influence wear. The results of the investigation indicate that wear can be reduced by mechanical treatment of metal femoral ball surfaces. A metallographic examination and surface roughness measurements were made.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of hip-consolidated Rene 95 powders

The effects of heat-treatments on the microstructure of P/M Rene 95 (a nickel-based powder metal), consolidated by the hot-isostatic pressing (HIP), were examined. The microstructure of as-HIP'd specimen was characterized by highly serrated grain boundaries. Mechanical tests and microstructural observations reveal that the serrated grain boundaries improved ductility at both room and elevated temperatures by retarding crack propagation along grain boundaries.

One step HIP canning of powder metallurgy composites

A single step is relied on in the canning process for hot isostatic pressing (HIP) powder metallurgy composites. The binders are totally removed while the HIP can of compatible refractory metal is sealed at high vacuum and temperature. This eliminates outgassing during hot isostatic pressing.

Tribological and microstructural comparison of HIPped PM212 and PM212/Au self-lubricating composites

The feasibility of replacing the silver with the volumetric equivalent of gold in the chromium carbide-based self-lubricating composite PM212 (70 wt. percent NiCo-Cr3C2, 15 percent BaF2/CaF2 eutectic) was studied. The new composite, PM212/Au has the following composition: 62 wt. percent NiCo-Cr3C2, 25 percent Au, 13 percent BaF2/CaF2 eutectic. The silver was replaced with gold to minimize the potential reactivity of the composite with possible environmental contaminants such as sulfur. The composites were fabricated by hot isostatic pressing (HIPping) and machined into pin specimens. The pins were slid against nickel-based superalloy disks. Sliding velocities ranged from 0.27 to 10.0 m/s and temperatures from 25 to 900 C. Friction coefficients ranged from 0.25 to 0.40 and wear factors for the pin and disk were typically low 10(exp -5) cu mm/N-m. HIPped PM212 measured fully dense, whereas PM212/Au had 15 percent residual porosity. Examination of the microstructures with optical and scanning electron microscopy revealed the presence of pores in PM212/Au that were not present in PM212. Though the exact reason for the residual porosity in PM212/Au was not determined, it may be due to particle morphology differences between the gold and silver and their effect on powder metallurgy processing.

Optimal design of composite hip implants using NASA technology

Using an adaptation of NASA software, we have investigated the use of numerical optimization techniques for the shape and material optimization of fiber composite hip implants. The original NASA inhouse codes, were originally developed for the optimization of aerospace structures. The adapted code, which was called OPORIM, couples numerical optimization algorithms with finite element analysis and composite laminate theory to perform design optimization using both shape and material design variables. The external and internal geometry of the implant and the surrounding bone is described with quintic spline curves. This geometric representation is then used to create an equivalent 2-D finite element model of the structure. Using laminate theory and the 3-D geometric information, equivalent stiffnesses are generated for each element of the 2-D finite element model, so that the 3-D stiffness of the structure can be approximated. The geometric information to construct the model of the femur was obtained from a CT scan. A variety of test cases were examined, incorporating several implant constructions and design variable sets. Typically the code was able to produce optimized shape and/or material parameters which substantially reduced stress concentrations in the bone adjacent of the implant. The results indicate that this technology can provide meaningful insight into the design of fiber composite hip implants.

SCExAO/CHARIS Near-IR High-Contrast Imaging and Integral Field Spectroscopy of the HIP 79977 Debris Disk

We present new, near-infrared (1.1–2.4 μm) high-contrast imaging of the bright debris disk surrounding HIP 79977 with the Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics system (SCExAO) coupled with the CHARIS integral field spectrograph. SCExAO/CHARIS resolves the disk down to smaller angular separations of (0".11; r ∼ 14 au) and at a higher significance than previously achieved at the same wavelengths. The disk exhibits a marginally significant east–west brightness asymmetry in H band that requires confirmation. Geometrical modeling suggests a nearly edge-on disk viewed at a position angle of ∼114°.6 east of north. The disk is best-fit by scattered-light models assuming strongly forward-scattering grains (g ∼ 0.5–0.65) confined to a torus with a peak density at r0 ∼ 53–75 au. We find that a shallow outer density power law of α(sub out) = −1 to −3 and flare index of β = 1 are preferred. Other disk parameters (e.g., inner density power law and vertical scale height) are more poorly constrained. The disk has a slightly blue intrinsic color and its profile is broadly consistent with predictions from birth ring models applied to other debris disks. While HIP 79977ʼs disk appears to be more strongly forward- scattering than most resolved disks surrounding 5–30 Myr old stars, this difference may be due to observational biases favoring forward-scattering models for inclined disks versus lower inclination, ostensibly neutral-scattering disks like HR 4796A’s. Deeper, higher signal-to-noise SCExAO/CHARIS data can better constrain the disk’s dust composition.

Temperature dependent interfacial microstructure in HIP-bonded Al6061/Zr joints

Pressing (HIP) at 450 °C and 560 °C under 103 MPa for 90 minutes to evaluate interfacial diffusion and microstructural evolution. Sound metallurgical bonding was achieved at both temperatures, with Zr serving as an effective diffusion barrier. Microstructural analysis revealed the the formation of a (Al,Si)3Zr intermetallic layer at the Al/Zr interface, whose thickness increased from ~100 nm at 450 °C to ~2100 nm at 560 °C, consistent with temperature-driven diffusion kinetics. The thin and continuous reaction layer observed at 450 °C indicates controlled interdiffusion and minimal reaction zone growth, favorable for maintaining interface stability and ductility. At 560 °C, enhanced atomic mobility led to pronounced intermetallic development, confirming diffusion-controlled growth behavior. These results provide valuable insights for optimizing Al/Zr interface design and diffusion barrier performance in advanced structural and energy systems.

Motivated by maturing programming models and portability for heterogeneous computing, we describe the challenges posed by hardware architectures and programming models when migrating an optimized implementation of nonuniform reduction from CUDA to HIP and SYCL. We explain the migration experience, evaluate the performance of the reduction on GPU -based computing platforms, and provide feedback on improving portability for the development of the SYCL programming model.

Parametric study of ion heating in a burnout device (HIP-1)

Results of further studies on the Lewis Research Center hot-ion plasma source (HIP-1) are reported. Changes have been made in both the electrode geometry and materials to produce higher ion temperatures. Ion temperature increased significantly with increased vacuum pumping speed. The best ion temperatures achieved, so far, for H(+), D(+), and He(+) plasmas are estimated to be equal to, or greater than 0.6, equal to, or greater than 0.9, and equal to, greater than 2.0 keV, respectively. Electrode pairs produced high ion temperatures whether on the magnetic axis or off it by 5.5 cm. Multiple sources, one on-axis and one off-axis, were run simultaneously from a single power supply by using independent gas feed rates. A momentum analyzer has been added to the charge-exchange neutral particle analyzer to identify particles according to mass, as well as energy. Under any given plasma condition, the higher mass ions have higher average energies but not by as much as the ratio of their respective masses.
