Cover Story: Herbig-Haro (HH) objects are bright, bow-shaped shock fronts produced in nebulae by high-speed jets from newly formed stars. This Hubble Space Telescope image shows the objects HH 203 and HH 204 in the Orion Nebula's active star formation region. Deep high-resolution spectra of HH 204 obtained by Méndez-Delgado et al. (2021, Astrophys. J., 918, 27) are rich in forbidden lines from iron and nickel. These spectra have recently been used by Mendoza et al. (2023, Atoms, 11, 63) to provide observational benchmarks to evaluate the accuracy of the radiative and collisional rates for singly and doubly ionized iron in nebular modeling. Iron abundance is key to determining depletion factors in dust grains' life cycle. View this paper

  • Vladimir Sautenkov and
  • Boris B. Zelener

13 April 2023

In this article, effects of the strong long-range interaction of Rydberg atoms on the Autler–Townes splitting spectrum are investigated. Preliminary results are obtained for various excitation times and Rydberg atom densities. The 2S1/2 and 2P1...

  • P. C. Deshmukh

10 April 2023

An atom confined in an optical dipole trap is a promising candidate for a qubit. Analyzing the temporal response of such trapped atoms enables us to estimate the speed at which quantum computers operate. The present work models an atom in an optical...

  • Alexandra S. Landsman

4 April 2023

A recent work shows how to extract the ionization site of a neutral diatomic molecule by comparing Quantum Trajectory Monte Carlo (QTMC) simulations with experimental measurements of the final electron momenta distribution. This method was applied to...

A Method to Measure Positron Beam Polarization Using Optically Polarized Atoms

  • Joshua R. Machacek,
  • Sean Hodgman,
  • Stephen Buckman and
  • T. J. Gay

3 April 2023

We outline an experimental technique for measuring the degree of polarization of a positron beam using an optically pumped, spin-polarized Rb target. The technique is based on the production and measurement of the ortho- and para-positronium fraction...
