Lemaître Class Dark Energy Model for Relaxing Cosmological Constant

open access: yesUniverse, 2017
Cosmological constant corresponds to the maximally symmetric cosmological term with the equation of state p = − ρ . Introducing a cosmological term with the reduced symmetry, p r = − ρ in the spherically symmetric case, makes ...

Programmable Sequential 4D Actuation in Multistable Kirigami Metamaterials

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a modular kirigami metamaterial framework enabling programmable multistability and sequential 4D actuation. By coupling geometry‐controlled multistability with material‐dependent recovery kinetics, spatiotemporal deformation can be precisely programmed.

Hearing gravity from the cosmos: GWTC-2 probes general relativity at cosmological scales

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2021
Gravitational-wave (GW) catalogs are rapidly increasing in number, allowing for statistical analyses of the population of compact binaries. Nonetheless, GW inference of cosmology has typically relied on additional electromagnetic counterparts or galaxy ...

The morphology of the oval window in Paranthropus robustus compared to humans and other modern primates

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

Measurement of circumgalactic extinction in the Kilo-Degree Survey’s Data Release 4

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Galaxies reside in extended dark matter halos, but their baryonic content, especially dust, remains less well understood. Aims. We aim to investigate the amount and distribution of dust in galactic halos by measuring shifts in the observed ...

Direct SMBH Formation Driven by Runaway Stellar Collisions in Globally Unstable Stellar Systems

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The fueling problem addresses the ultimate fate of the reservoirs of gas and stars driven into the deepest gravitational potential wells of galaxies, thus it may contain the Universe's densest concentrations of gas and stars. This raises a key question: does the infalling material collapse directly into a supermassive black hole, or can it ...

Dark matter from torsion in Friedmann cosmology

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2022
A cosmological model in an Einstein–Cartan framework endowed with torsion is studied. For a torsion function assumed to be proportional to Hubble expansion function, namely $$\phi =-\alpha H$$ ϕ = - α H , the contribution of torsion function as a dark ...

Exploring bouncing cosmologies with cosmological surveys [PDF]

open access: yesScience China Physics, Mechanics & Astronomy, 2014
In light of the recent observational data coming from the sky we have two significant directions in the field of theoretical cosmology recently. First, we are now able to make use of present observations, such as the Planck and BICEP2 data, to examine theoretical predictions from the standard inflationary $Λ$CDM which were made decades of years ago ...

Cosmological realism [PDF]

open access: yesStudies in History and Philosophy of Science, 2021
I discuss the relevance of the current predicament in cosmology to the debate over scientific realism. I argue that the existence of two, empirically successful but ontologically inconsistent cosmological theories presents difficulties for the realist position.
