Brine Entrainment During Ice Shell Growth on Icy Worlds
Abstract The role of ocean composition in governing ice shell growth and ocean longevity on icy satellites remains poorly constrained. To address this, we develop a thermomechanical model of small to mid‐sized icy worlds that simulates ice shell growth from a saline ocean, explicitly quantifying brine entrainment through a parameterization of reactive ...

Gravitational Waves and Time-Domain Astronomy [PDF]
AbstractThe gravitational-wave window onto the universe will open in roughly five years, when Advanced LIGO and Virgo achieve the first detections of high-frequency gravitational waves, most likely coming from compact binary mergers. Electromagnetic follow-up of these triggers, using radio, optical, and high energy telescopes, promises exciting ...

Evidence for a Correlation between Binary Black Hole Mass Ratio and Black Hole Spins
The astrophysical origins of the binary black hole systems seen with gravitational waves are still not well understood. However, features in the distribution of black hole masses, spins, redshifts, and eccentricities provide clues into how these systems ...

A Magnetospheric Dichotomy for Pulsars with Extreme Inclinations
In this work, we expand on a comment by Lyne et al. (2017), that intermittent pulsars tend to congregate near a stripe in the logarithmic period versus period-derivative diagram.

Gravitational Radiation From Binary Systems With Time Varying Masses
We extend the standard approach pioneered in the works by Peters and Mathews to include the mass loss processes of the binary components, by obtaining the variations due to gravitational radiation of the main physical parameters. As an application of our results we consider gravitational radiation emission in binary magnetar systems.

The ORCA‐TWIN qCMOS Experiment I. Science Case and Commissioning at Calar Alto Observatory
ABSTRACT We describe a pilot study to explore a new generation of fast and low noise CMOS image sensors for time domain astronomy, using two remote telescopes with a baseline of 1635 km. The experiment involves direct imaging with novel qCMOS image sensor technology that combines fast readout with sub‐electron readout noise.

Tides of the Midland: From Groundwater Into the River
Tides in a river that is NOT influenced by the ocean, is not in the coastal area and is more than 300 m above sea level are caused by groundwater tides. As the phases of the Moon change, the amplitudes of the streamwater oscillations vary synchronously with those of gravitational acceleration.

Testing the Nature of Dark Compact Objects with Gravitational Waves
Within Einstein\u27s theory of gravity, any compact object heavier than a few solar masses must be a black hole. Any observation showing otherwise would imply either new physics beyond General Relativity or new exotic matter fields beyond the Standard ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are highly energetic millisecond-duration astrophysical phenomena typically categorized as repeaters or nonrepeaters. However, observational limitations may result in misclassifications, potentially leading to a higher proportion
