Otto Stern—An Involuntary Convert to Quantum Theory
Otto Stern (1888–1969) at work in his Hamburg laboratory (circa 1930). ABSTRACT The bulk of experiments and observations that lined the path to quantum mechanics amounted to a backlog of data in need of explanation. A notable exception was the Stern–Gerlach experiment (SGE) designed to test the predictions of the old quantum theory as embodied by the ...

Gravitational Wave Polarizations in f (R) Gravity and Scalar-Tensor Theory
The detection of gravitational waves by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory opens a new era to use gravitational waves to test alternative theories of gravity.

Abstract String theory has strong implications for cosmology, implying the absence of a cosmological constant, ruling out single‐field slow‐roll inflation, and that black holes decay. The origins of these statements are elucidated within the string‐theoretical swampland programme.

The DECi-hertz Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (DECIGO) is the future Japanese, outer space gravitational wave detector. We previously set the default design parameters to provide a good target sensitivity to detect the primordial ...

The Japanese space gravitational wave antenna; DECIGO [PDF]
DECi-hertz Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory (DECIGO) is the future Japanese space gravitational wave antenna. DECIGO is expected to open a new window of observation for gravitational wave astronomy especially between 0.1 Hz and 10 Hz ...

Low-frequency gravitational-wave science with eLISA/NGO [PDF]
We review the expected science performance of the New Gravitational-Wave Observatory (NGO, a.k.a. eLISA), a mission under study by the European Space Agency for launch in the early 2020s. eLISA will survey the low-frequency gravitational-wave sky (from 0.

Abstract We present observations of the Uranian outer ring system at near‐infrared and visible wavelengths. Observations with the Keck Telescope were taken in July‐August 2007 at 2.12 and 1.63 μm, when the ring plane was almost edge‐on (ring opening angle B=0.62 $B=0.62$–0.24° ${}^{\circ}$). These data showed, for the first time, the μ ring at infrared

Continuous-wave gravitational radiation from pulsar glitch recovery
Nonaxisymmetric, meridional circulation inside a neutron star, excited by a glitch and persisting throughout the post-glitch relaxation phase, emits gravitational radiation.

Mars Thermospheric Variability: Disentangling the Influence of Irradiance, Dust, and Dynamics
Abstract We present a comprehensive analysis of Martian thermospheric variability using nearly a decade of solar occultation measurements from the MAVEN Extreme Ultraviolet Monitor (EUVM). These data provide vertical profiles of CO2 ${\text{CO}}_{2}$ density and temperature from ∼130 ${\sim} 130$ to 180 km at dawn and dusk, enabling the investigation ...

A wind environment and Lorentz factors of tens explain gamma-ray bursts X-ray plateau
The origin of the plateau observed in the early X-ray light curves of gamma ray bursts (GRBs) is debated. Here, the authors show that the observed plateau can be explained within the classical GRB model by considering expanding shell with initial Lorentz
