Dynamically Forming Extremely Low-mass White Dwarf Binaries in Wide Orbits
The detection of a 0.2 M _⊙ extremely low-mass white dwarf (EW) in a wide orbit ( P _orb ≈ 450 days) with a 1.1 M _⊙ main-sequence companion, KIC 8145411, challenges our current understanding of how EWs form. The traditional channel for EW formation, via

Multimessenger Bayesian parameter inference of a binary neutron star merger [PDF]
The combined detection of a binary neutron star merger in both gravitational waves (GWs) and electromagnetic (EM) radiation spanning the entire spectrum – GW170817/AT2017gfo/GRB170817A – marks a breakthrough in the field of multimessenger astronomy ...

ABSTRACT Background Apolipoprotein ε4 (APOE ε4) is a potent genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, its role in cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) remains unclear. Given the clinical and pathological similarities between CSVD and AD, this study aimed to investigate the associations of APOE ε4 gene dosage with cognitive function and

Asymmetric supernova in hierarchical multiple star systems and application to J1903+0327
We develop a method to analyze the effect of an asymmetric supernova on hierarchical multiple star systems and we present analytical formulas to calculate orbital parameters for surviving binaries or hierarchical triples and runaway velocities for their ...

Delayed and Displaced: The Impact of Binary Interactions on Core-collapse SN Feedback
Core-collapse supernova feedback models in hydrodynamical simulations typically assume that all stars evolve as single stars. However, the majority of massive stars are formed in binaries and multiple systems, where interactions with a companion can ...

Mass Ejection from the Remnant of a Binary Neutron Star Merger: Viscous-radiation Hydrodynamics Study [PDF]
We perform long-term general relativistic neutrino radiation hydrodynamics simulations (in axisymmetry) for a massive neutron star (MNS) surrounded by a torus, which is a canonical remnant formed after the binary neutron star merger. We take into account

Lessons Learned: Quality Analysis of Optical Coherence Tomography in Neuromyelitis Optica
ABSTRACT Introduction Optical coherence tomography (OCT)‐derived retina measurements are markers for neuroaxonal visual pathway status. High‐quality OCT scans are essential for reliable measurements, but their acquisition is particularly challenging in eyes with severe visual impairment, as often observed in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders ...

The enigmatic central star of the planetary nebula PRTM 1
The central star of the planetary nebula PRTM 1 (PN G243.8-37.1) was previously found to be variable by M. Pena and colleagues. As part of a larger programme aimed towards finding post common-envelope binary central stars we have monitored the central ...

Hidden Binaries in Star-forming Regions
A significant fraction of, and possibly all, stars form in binary or multiple systems. For solar-mass stars in the Galactic field, the distribution of orbital separations is log-normal over 7 orders of magnitude, from 10 ^−2 to 10 ^5 au.
