The damping of gravitational waves in dust

open access: yes, 2008
We examine a simple model of interaction of gravitational waves with matter (primarily represented by dust). The aim is to investigate a possible damping effect on the intensity of gravitational wave when passing through media.

SECULAR EVOLUTION OF COMPACT BINARIES NEAR MASSIVE BLACK HOLES: GRAVITATIONAL WAVE SOURCES AND OTHER EXOTICA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The environment near supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in galactic nuclei contains a large number of stars and compact objects. A fraction of these are likely to be members of binaries.

Beyond Conventional Cooling: Advanced Micro/Nanostructures for Managing Extreme Heat Flux

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines the design, application, and manufacturing of biomimetic or engineered micro/nanostructures for managing high heat‐flux in multi‐level electronics by enhancing conductive, convective, phase‐changing, and radiative heat transfer mechanisms, highlighting their potential for efficient, targeted thermal management, and future prospects.

Measuring Mass and Radius of the Maximum-mass Nonrotating Neutron Star

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The mass ( M _TOV ) and radius ( R _TOV ) of the maximum-mass nonrotating neutron star (NS) play a crucial role in constraining the elusive equation of state of cold dense matter and in predicting the fate of remnants from binary neutron star (BNS ...

High frequency sources of gravitational waves

open access: yes, 2003
Sources of high frequency gravitational waves are reviewed. Gravitational collapse, rotational instabilities and oscillations of the remnant compact objects are potentially important sources of gravitational waves.

Science Icebreaker Activities: An Example from Gravitational Wave Astronomy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
At the beginning of a class or meeting an icebreaker activity is often used to help loosen the group and get everyone talking. Our motivation is to develop activities that serve the purpose of an icebreaker, but are designed to enhance and supplement a ...

Compact binaries ejected from globular clusters as gravitational wave sources [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Performing N-body simulations, we examine the dynamics of BH-BH (10 Msun each) and NS-NS (1.4 Msun each) binaries formed in a cluster and its implications for gravitational wave detection.

Light‐Activated Micromotors in Air Propelled by Thermal Convection

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Near‐infrared‐driven micromotors in air can overcome gravity and generate convective motion by a light‐induced thermal mechanism driven by a temperature gradient in the air caused by the interaction of the gold nanoparticles present on the surface of ZnO and NIR irradiation.

Where did Heavy Binaries Go? Gravitational-wave Populations Using Delaunay Triangulation with Optimized Complexity

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We investigate the joint mass–redshift evolution of the binary black hole (BBH) merger rate in the latest Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-4.0).

On the Likely Dynamical Origin of GW191109 and Binary Black Hole Mergers with Negative Effective Spin

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
With the growing number of binary black hole (BBH) mergers detected by LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA, several systems have become difficult to explain via isolated binary evolution, having components in the pair-instability mass gap, high orbital eccentricities, and ...
