Sensitive measurements of the linearly polarized spectra of stars can be used to deduce geometric properties of their otherwise unresolved circumstellar environments. This paper describes some of the evidence for optical pumping and absorptive linear polarization and explores some interesting applications of linear spectropolarimetry for obtaining spatial information from imbedded stars.

We track the angular momentum transfer in n-body simulations of barred galaxies by measuring torques to understand the dynamical mechanisms responsible for the evolution of the bar-disc-dark matter halo system. We find evidence for three distinct pha
ses of barred galaxy evolution: assembly, secular growth, and steady-state equilibrium. Using a decomposition of the disc into orbital families, we track bar mass and angular momentum through time and correlate the quantities with the phases of evolution. We follow the angular momentum transfer between particles and identify the dominant torque channels. We find that the halo model mediates the assembly and growth of the bar for a high central density halo, and the outer disc mediates the assembly and growth of the bar in a low central density halo model. Both galaxies exhibit a steady-state equilibrium phase where the bar is neither lengthening nor slowing. The steady-state equilibrium results from the balance of torque between particles that are gaining and losing angular momentum. We propose observational metrics for barred galaxies that can be used to help determine the evolutionary phase of a barred galaxy, and discuss the implications of the phases for galaxy evolution as a whole.
We study the mechanisms and evolutionary phases of bar formation in n-body simulations of a stellar disc and dark matter halo system using harmonic basis function expansion analysis to characterize the dynamical mechanisms in bar evolution. We correl
ate orbit families with phases of bar evolution by using empirical orthogonal functions that act as a spatial filter and form the gravitational potential basis. In both models we find evidence for three phases in evolution with unique harmonic signatures. We recover known analytic results, such as bar slowdown owing to angular momentum transfer. We also find new dynamical mechanisms for bar evolution: a steady-state equilibrium configuration and harmonic interaction resulting in harmonic mode locking, both of which may be observable. Additionally, we find that ellipse fitting may severely overestimate measurements of bar length by a factor of two relative to the measurements based on orbits that comprise the true backbone supporting the bar feature. The bias will lead to overestimates of both bar mass and bar pattern speed, affecting inferences about the evolution of bars in the real universe, such as the fraction of bars with fast pattern speeds. We propose a direct observational technique to compute the radial extent of trapped orbits and determine a dynamical length for the bar.
Context: Eruptive events such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and flares accelerate particles and generate shock waves which can arrive at Earth and can disturb the magnetosphere. Understanding the association between CMEs and CME-driven shocks is t
herefore highly important for space weather studies. Aims: We present a study of the CME/flare event associated with two type II bursts observed on September 27, 2012. The aim of the study is to understand the relationship between the observed CME and the two distinct shock wave signatures. Methods: The multi-wavelength study of the eruptive event (CME/flare) was complemented with radio triangulation of the associated radio emission and modelling of the CME and the shock wave employing MHD simulations. Results: We found that, although temporal association between the type II bursts and the CME is good, the low-frequency type II(LF-type II) burst occurs significantly higher in the corona than the CME and its relationship to the CME is not straightforward. The analysis of the EIT wave (coronal bright front) shows the fastest wave component to be in the southeast quadrant of the Sun. This is also the quadrant in which the source positions of the LF-type II were found to be located, probably resulting from the interaction between the shock wave and a streamer. Conclusions: The relationship between the CME/flare event and the shock wave signatures is discussed using the temporal association,as well as the spatial information of the radio emission. Further, we discuss the importance and possible effects of the frequently non-radial propagation of the shock wave.
We analyse new optical spectroscopic, direct-image and X-ray observations of the recently discovered a high proper motion cataclysmic variable V1838 Aql. The data were obtained during its 2013 superoutburst and its subsequent quiescent state. An exte
nded emission around the source was observed up to 30 days after the peak of the superoutburst, interpreted it as a bow--shock formed by a quasi-continuous outflow from the source in quiescence. The head of the bow--shock is coincident with the high--proper motion vector of the source ($v_{perp}=123pm5$ km s$^{-1}$) at a distance of $d=202pm7$ pc. The object was detected as a weak X-ray source ($0.015pm0.002$ counts s$^{-1}$) in the plateau of the superoutburst, and its flux lowered by two times in quiescence (0.007$pm$0.002 counts s$^{-1}$). Spectroscopic observations in quiescence we confirmed the orbital period value $P_{rm{orb}}=0.0545pm 0.0026$ days, consistent with early-superhump estimates, and the following orbital parameters: $gamma= -21pm3$ km s$^{-1}$ and $K_1 = 53pm3$ km s$^{-1}$. The white dwarf is revealed as the system approaches quiescence, which enables us to infer the effective temperature of the primary $T_{eff}=11,600pm400$K. The donor temperature is estimated $lesssim 2200$K and suggestive of a system approaching the period minimum. Doppler maps in quiescence show the presence of the hot spot in HeI line at the expected accretion disc-stream shock position and an unusual structure of the accretion disc in H$alpha$.
This paper introduces two ongoing research projects which seek to apply computer modelling techniques in order to simulate human behaviour within organisations. Previous research in other disciplines has suggested that complex social behaviours are g
overned by relatively simple rules which, when identified, can be used to accurately model such processes using computer technology. The broad objective of our research is to develop a similar capability within organisational psychology.
