Physical Degrees of Freedom in Higgs Models (2009)
Despite the clear-cut prediction and subsequent experimental detection of the weak interaction bosons, the Higgs sector of the standard model of elementary particle physics has long remained one of...
Pont, F., Gilliland, R. L., Knutson, H., Holman, M., Charbonneau, D.
The nearby transiting system GJ 436b offers a unique opportunity to probe the structure and atmosphere of an extra-solar "hot Neptune". In this Letter, we present the main results of observations...
N. Murray, M. Holman, M. Potter
We consider the e†ect of gravitational perturbations from Jupiter on the dynamics of asteroids, when Jupiter is itself perturbed by Saturn. The presence of Saturn introduces a number of additional...
HAT-P-6b: A Hot Jupiter transiting a bright F star (2007)
Noyes, R. W., Bakos, G. A., Torres, G., Pal, A., Kovacs, Geza, Latham, D. W., ...
In the ongoing HATNet survey we have detected a giant planet, with radius 1.33 +/- 0.06 RJup and mass 1.06 +/- 0.12 MJup, transiting the bright (V = 10.5) star GSC 03239-00992. The planet is in a...
Non-Viability of a Counter-Argument to Bell's Theorem (2007)
It is demonstrated that a recently suggested model for the EPR-Bohm spin experiment, based on Clifford algebra valued local variables and observables, runs into very serious difficulties and can...
On Arguments for Linear Quantum Dynamics (2006)
Two recent arguments for linear dynamics in quantum theory are critically re-examined. Neither argument is found to be satisfactory as it stands, although an improved version of one of the arguments...
A Brief History of Trans-Neptunian Space (2006)
Chiang, E., Lithwick, Y., Murray-Clay, R., Buie, M., Grundy, W., Holman, M.
The Edgeworth-Kuiper belt encodes the dynamical history of the outer solar system. Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) bear witness to coagulation physics, the evolution of planetary orbits, and external...
The CFEPS Kuiper Belt Survey: Strategy and Pre-survey Results (2005)

We present the data acquisition strategy and characterization procedures for the Canada-France Ecliptic Plane Survey (CFEPS), a sub-component of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey. The...
Enzootic Babesia microti in Maine (2003)
H. K. Goethert, C. Lubelcyzk, E. LaCombe, M. Holman, P. Rand, R. P. Smith Jr., ...
Human babesiosis in the northeastern United States caused by Babesia microti (Apicomplexa: Piroplasmida) is mainly reported from coastal New England sites, where deer ticks (Ixodes dammini) are...
The Size Distribution of Trans-Neptunian Bodies (2003)
Bernstein, G. M., Trilling, D. E., Allen, R. L., Brown, M. E., Holman, M., Malhotra, R.
[Condensed] We search 0.02 deg^2 for trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) with m
G. M. Bernstein, D. E. Trilling, R. L. Allen, M. E. Brown, M. Holman, R. Malhotra
We search 0.02 deg 2 of the invariable plane for trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) 25 AU or more distant using the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) aboard the Hubble Space Telescope. With 22 ks per...
The Extra-Solar Planet Imager (ESPI) (2002)
Nisenson, P., Melnick, G. J., Geary, J., Holman, M., Korzennik, S. G., Noyes, R. W., ...
ESPI has been proposed for direct imaging and spectral analysis of giant planets orbiting solar-type stars. ESPI extends the concept suggested by Nisenson and Papaliolios (2001) for a square aperture...
Chaos in the Solar System (2001)
Lecar, M., Franklin, F., Holman, M., Murray, N.
The physical basis of chaos in the solar system is now better understood: in all cases investigated so far, chaotic orbits result from overlapping resonances. Perhaps the clearest examples are found...
The role of chaotic resonances in the solar system (2001)
Our understanding of the Solar System has been revolutionized over the past decade by the finding that the orbits of the planets are inherently chaotic. In extreme cases, chaotic motions can change...
Eccentricity Evolution of Resonant Migrating Planets (2001)
Murray, N., Paskowitz, M., Holman, M.
We examine the eccentricity evolution of a system of two planets locked in a mean motion resonance, in which the outer planet loses energy and angular momentum. The sink of energy and angular...
Evidence for an extended scattered disk (2001)
Gladman, B., Holman, M., Grav, T., Kavelaars, J., Nicholson, P., Aksnes, K., ...
By telescopic tracking, we have established that the orbit of the trans-neptunian object (2000 CR$_{105}$) has a perihelion of $\simeq$44 AU, and is thus outside the domain controlled by strong...
During orbital migration of a giant extrasolar planet via ejection of planetesimals (Murray et al.~1998), inner mean motion resonances can be strong enough to cause planetesimals to graze or impact...
The Origin of Chaos in the Outer Solar System (1999)
Classical analytic theories of the solar system indicate that it is stable, but numerical integrations suggest that it is chaotic. This disagreement is resolved by a new analytic theory. The theory...

N. Murray, B. Hansen, M. Holman, S. Tremaine
A planet orbiting in a disk of planetesimals can experience an instability in which it migrates to smaller orbital radii. Resonant interactions between the planet and planetesimals remove angular...
B-cell-stimulatory factor 1 reverses Fc receptor-mediated inhibition of B-lymphocyte activation.
O'Garra, A, Rigley, K P, Holman, M, McLaughlin, J B, Klaus, G G
Intact (IgG class) rabbit anti-immunoglobulin antibodies are not mitogenic for mouse B cells but inhibit proliferation induced by F(ab')2 anti-Fab fragment antibodies (anti-Ig). In addition,...
O'Garra, A, Warren, D J, Holman, M, Popham, A M, Sanderson, C J, Klaus, G G
Recently we described a murine T-cell hybrid that produces activities that promote the differentiation of eosinophils (eosinophil differentiation factor) and cause proliferation of the BCL1 B-cell...

Bijsterbosch, M K, McLaughlin, J B, Holman, M, Klaus, G G
Intact (IgG) rabbit anti-Ig antibodies, unlike F(ab')2 fragments, do not induce DNA synthesis in murine B cells. The F(ab')2 antibodies induce prolonged breakdown of phosphatidylinositol...
Klaus, G G, Bijsterbosch, M K, Holman, M
Calcium ionophores cause polyclonal proliferation of lymphocytes from man, rabbit and pig, but are not mitogenic for mouse T or B lymphocytes. We show here that two Ca2+ ionophores (A23187 and...
Klaus, G G, Hawrylowicz, C M, Holman, M, Keeler, K D
Intact (IgG) rabbit anti-immunoglobulin antibodies are generally not mitogenic for mouse B cells but, on the contrary, inhibit proliferation induced by either F(ab')2 anti-Ig or by...

Jolles, S, Christensen, J, Holman, M, Klaus, G B, Ager, A
Epidermal Langerhans cells (LCs) play a pivotal role in the initiation of cutaneous immune responses. The maturation of LCs and their migration from the skin to the T cell areas of draining lymph...
