The quasi-one-dimensional S = 1/2 antiferromagnet Yb 4 As 3 is studied by using low-temperature measurements of the specific heat C(T,B), thermal expansion α(T,B) and longitudinal elastic mode c 11(T,B). As has been previously shown [M. Köppen et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 4548 (1999)], finite magnetic fields perpendicular to the spin chains induce a gap in the spin-excitation spectrum (reminiscent of massive, soliton-like excitations) which manifests itself in distinct anomalies in the specific heat and thermal expansion. In this paper, we present an extension of the above work placing special emphasis on the lattice response and the evolution of the gap at higher fields. The main observations are: (i) the field-induced gap causes a minimum in the c 11 elastic constant both as a function of temperature and field. Applying a simple two-level model allows for a determination of the gap value Δ(B) as well as the constant G(B) = ∂Δ/∂ε introduced to account for the spin-lattice coupling. (ii) At B ≤ 9 T , the Δ(B) values derived from the various quantities are consistent with Δ (B) ∝ B 2/3 as predicted by the quantum sine-Gordon model. (iii) Measurements of C(T,B = const) in dc-fields up to 18 T and c 11(T = const, B) in pulsed fields up to 50 T,however, reveal deviations from this behavior at higher at field. (iv) Isothermal measurements of c 11 (B) show a sharp increase above 35 T which is almost T-independent for T ≤ 10 K and whose origin is unknown.

It is now possible to determine proper motions of high-velocity objects in such a way as to obtain with some accuracy the velocity vector relevant to the Sun. If a potential field of the Galaxy is assumed, one can compute an actual orbit. A determination of the velocity of the globular clusterωCentauri has recently been completed at Greenwich, and it is found that the orbit is strongly retrograde in the Galaxy. Similar calculations may be made, though with less certainty, in the case of RR Lyrae variable stars.
