We report optical and mid-infrared photometry of SN 1980K between 2004 and 2010, which show slow monotonic fading consistent with previous spectroscopic and photometric observations made 8 to 17 years after outburst. The slow rate-of-change over two decades suggests that this evolution may result from scattered and thermal light echoes off of extended circumstellar material. We present a semi- analytic dust radiative-transfer model that uses an empirically corrected effective optical depth to provide a fast and robust alternative to full Monte-Carlo radiative transfer modeling for homogenous dust at low to intermediate optical depths. We find that unresolved echoes from a thin circumstellar shell 14-15 lt-yr from the progenitor, and containing about 0.02 Msun of carbon-rich dust, can explain the broadband spectral and temporal evolution. The size, mass and dust composition are in good agreement with the contact discontinuity observed in scattered echoes around SN 1987A. The origin of slowly-changing high-velocity [O I] and Halpha lines is also considered. We propose an origin in shocked high-velocity metal-rich clumps of ejecta, rather than arising in the impact of ejecta on slowly-moving circumstellar material, as is the case with hot spots in SN 1987A.

Light echoes, light from a variable source scattered off dust, have been observed for over a century. The recent discovery of light echoes around centuries-old supernovae in the Milky Way and the Large Magellanic Cloud have allowed the spectroscopic
characterization of these events, even without contemporaneous photometry and spectroscopy using modern instrumentation. Here we review the recent scientific advances using light echoes of ancient and historic transients, and focus on our latest work on SN 1987As and Eta Carinaes light echoes.
The goal of this study is to explain and examine the statistical underpinnings of the Bollinger Band methodology. We start off by elucidating the rolling regression time series model and deriving its explicit relationship to Bollinger Bands. Next we
illustrate the use of Bollinger Bands in pairs trading and prove the existence of a specific return duration relationship in Bollinger Band pairs trading.Then by viewing the Bollinger Band moving average as an approximation to the random walk plus noise (RWPN) time series model, we develop a pairs trading variant that we call Fixed Forecast Maximum Duration Bands (FFMDPT). Lastly, we conduct pairs trading simulations using SAP and Nikkei index data in order to compare the performance of the variant with Bollinger Bands.
This chapter appears in Fractional Quantum Hall Effects: New Development, edited by B. I. Halperin and J. K. Jain (World Scientific, 2020). The chapter begins with a primer on composite fermions, and then reviews three directions that have recently b
een pursued. It reports on theoretical calculations making detailed quantitative predictions for two sets of phenomena, namely spin polarization transitions and the phase diagram of the crystal. This is followed by the Kohn-Sham density functional theory of the fractional quantum Hall effect. The chapter concludes with recent applications of the parton theory of the fractional quantum Hall effect to certain delicate states.
In May 1982, when Italy joined ESO, only two isolated neutron stars (INSs) had been identified in the optical: the Crab and Vela pulsars. Thanks to the ESO telescopes and the perseverance of a few Italian astronomers, now about 30 INSs have been iden
tified in the optical/IR, and a new important channel in their multi-wavelength studies has been opened. In this contribution, I review the major steps in 30 years of INS studies at ESO, highlight the role of Italian astronomers, and introduce future perspectives with the E-ELT.
We present the measurement of the size and surface brightness of the expanding light echoes from supernova (SN) 2014J in the nearby starburst galaxy M82. Hubble Space Telescope (HST) ACS/WFC images were taken ~277 and ~416 days (after the time of B-b
and maximum light) in the filters F475W, F606W, and F775W, each combined with the three polarizing filters: POL0V, POL60V, and POL120V. The two epochs imaging reveals the time evolution of at least two major echoes. Three concentric bright regions between position angles (PA, 0^{circ} from North, counterclockwise). 80^{circ} ~ 170^{circ} have projected radius of 0.60 on the sky on ~277 days and expanding to 0.75 on ~416 days, corresponding to scattering materials at a foreground distance of 222pm37 pc. Another fainter but evident light echo extending over a wide range of PA has radii of 0.75 and 0.96 on ~277 and ~416 days. This corresponds to scattering material at a foreground distance of 367pm61 pc. Multiple light echoes with S/N > 2.5 reside at smaller radii on ~277 days but become less significant on ~416 days indicating a complex structure of foreground interstellar medium (ISM). The light echo shows bluer color than predicted under a Rayleigh scattering case. We also found the light echo brightened from V_{echo}=21.68pm0.07 on 2014 September 5, to V_{echo}=21.05pm0.08 on 2014 November 6, suggesting an enhancement of echoing materials at different distances projected on to the plane of the sky.
