First Law of Binary Black Hole Scattering [PDF]

Physical Review Letters
In the last decade, the first law of binary black hole mechanics played an important unifying role in the gravitational two-body problem. More recently, binary black hole scattering and the application of high-energy physics methods have provided a new avenue into this classical problem.

Type‐II Dirac Fermions in Monolayer In2O: Interplay of Magnetotransport, Spin Hall Effect, and Superconductivity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
First‐principles calculations reveal that monolayer In2O${\rm In}_2{\rm O}$ hosts type‐II Dirac fermions near the Fermi level, which split into Weyl points under spin‐orbit coupling. The material exhibits negative and giant magnetoresistance, a pronounced spin Hall effect, and phonon‐mediated superconductivity at 1.5 K, establishing it as a unique ...

Supermassive black hole growth from stellar binary encounters

The Open Journal of Astrophysics
The growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) remains a central problem in astrophysics, with current observations providing only limited constraints on the underlying mechanisms. One possible growth channel is stellar accretion via the Hill’s mechanism,

Transmuted gravity wave signals from primordial black holes

Physics Letters B, 2018
Primordial black holes (PBHs) interacting with stars in binaries lead to a new class of gravity wave signatures that we explore. A small 10−16–10−7M⊙ PBH captured by a neutron star or a white dwarf will eventually consume the host.

The Case for Hypercritical Accretion in M33 X-7

, 2008
The spin parameter of the black hole in M33 X-7 has recently been measured to be a*=0.77+-0.05 (Liu et al. 2008). It has been proposed that the spin of the 15.65 M_sun black hole is natal.

Advances and Perspectives in Graphene‐Based Quantum Dots Enabled Neuromorphic Devices

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Graphene‐based QDs are zero‐dimensional carbon nanomaterials with pronounced quantum confinement and tunable electronic structures. Herein, we summarize their synthesis strategies and functionalization methods, and highlight their functional roles and operating mechanisms in devices, as well as recent advances in neuromorphic electronics. We anticipate

Counting Black Holes: The Cosmic Stellar Remnant Population and Implications for LIGO

, 2017
We present an empirical approach for interpreting gravitational wave signals of binary black hole mergers under the assumption that the underlying black hole population is sourced by remnants of stellar evolution.

Evidence for supermassive black hole binaries

Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia
Abstract We review the state of the evidence for the existence and observational appearance of supermassive black hole binaries. Such objects are expected from standard hierarchical galaxy evolution to form after two galaxies, each containing a supermassive black hole, have merged, in the centre of the merger remnant.

Electrostatic Potential Complementarity for Thickness‐Tolerant Cathode Interlayers in High‐Efficiency Organic and Tandem Solar Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Two model molecules — trimesic acid (TMA) and phloroglucinol (PG) — with opposite central electrostatic potential (ESP) distributions are employed to elucidate how molecular electrostatic interactions regulate the cathode interlayer (CIL) PDINN. Electrostatic potential complementarity is revealed as the intrinsic origin of thickness sensitivity in CILs,

Trends in the Population of Binary Black Holes Following the Fourth Gravitational-wave Transient Catalog: A Data-driven Analysis

The Astrophysical Journal
Current models of binary black hole distributions are difficult to interpret because inferences hinge on modeling choices, which can mask or mimic real structure.
