The Impact of Angular Momentum Loss on the Outcomes of Binary Mass Transfer
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We use the rapid binary population synthesis code COMPAS to investigate commonly used prescriptions for the determination of mass transfer stability in close binaries and the orbital separations after stable mass transfer.

The Revo‐Evo Debate in the History and Philosophy of Science
Natural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 3, July 2026.The paper juxtaposes revolutionary and evolutionary positions in epistemology in general as well as the history of science. While it deems the evolutionary arguments more persuasive, it also stresses the dependence of our assessment of change on the language we choose to describe the theories and positions under consideration.

Gravitational Wave Astronomy [PDF]
, 1997 Astronomers rely on a multiplicity of observational perspectives in order to infer the nature of the Universe. Progress in astronomy has historically been associated with new or improved observational perspectives. Gravitational wave detectors now under construction will provide us with a perspective on the Universe fundamentally different from any we ...

A Dialogue on Revolutions and Revolutionaries in Science: A Perspective From Quantum Mechanics
Natural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT We discuss the notions of scientific revolutions and revolutionaries in the context of the Relativity Revolution and of the First, Second, and Third Quantum Revolutions. We conclude that at the core of the question of what qualifies as a revolution and revolutionary is an assessment of the gradients of knowledge accumulation over time, both at

GW150914 and gravitational-wave astronomy [PDF]
Chinese Science Bulletin, 2016 On September 14, 2015, the first detection of gravitational waves at the advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational- Wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors, in the United States, marked the beginning of “gravitational-wave astronomy”, that opens a new window looking into the violent sides of our Universe.

Aerial and Space‐Borne Seismology on Venus: Viability and Design Implications for Future Missions
Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Venus' evolution remains a mystery because of the lack of in situ geophysical data to constrain its interior structure. Recently‐selected planetary missions VERITAS (NASA), DAVINCI+ (NASA), and EnVision (ESA) will investigate the planet's interior, surface, and atmospheric chemistry.
