The Hard-to-soft Transition of GX 339–4 as Seen by Insight–HXMT

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present an analysis of the relativistic reflection spectra of GX 339–4 during the hard-to-soft transition of its 2021 outburst observed by Insight–HXMT.

An Intermediate-Mass Black Hole in the Globular Cluster G1: Improved Significance from New Keck and Hubble Space Telescope Observations

open access: yes, 2005
We present dynamical models for the massive globular cluster G1. The goal is to measure or place a significant upper limit on the mass of any central black hole.

Tidal Disruption of a Main-sequence Star by an Intermediate-mass Black Hole: A Bright Decade [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2018
There has been suggestive evidence of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs; 103−5 M⊙) existing in some globular clusters (GCs) and dwarf galaxies, but IMBHs as a population remain elusive.

Ultrafast Room‐Temperature Nanofabrication via Ozone‐Based Gas‐Phase Metal‐Assisted Chemical Etching for High‐Performance Silicon Photodetectors

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ozone‐based gas‐phase metal‐assisted chemical etching enables unprecedented room‐temperature fabrication of high‐quality silicon nanowires. The superior oxidation potential of O3 drives rapid vertical etching (1 µm min−1) while maintaining exceptional structural integrity. The pristine nanowire surfaces enable high‐performance core‐shell photodetectors

Sowing the seeds of massive black holes in small galaxies: Young clusters as the building blocks of Ultra-Compact-Dwarf Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Interacting galaxies often have complexes of hundreds of young stellar clusters of individual masses $\sim 10^{4-6}~M_\odot$ in regions that are a few hundred parsecs across.

Radial anisotropy in ω Cen limiting the room for an intermediate-mass black hole [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Finding an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) in a globular cluster (or proving its absence) would provide valuable insights into our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution.

Intermediate Mass Black Holes in Star Clusters [PDF]

open access: yesProgress of Theoretical Physics Supplement, 2004
We have performed N-body simulations of the formation of intermediate mass black holes in young star clusters and the subsequent dynamical evolution of star clusters containing massive black holes. Our simulations show that runaway merging of massive main-sequence stars can produce an intermediate mass black hole in the M82 cluster MGG-11 if the ...

Fast Neutron Detector Based on Hybrid 2D Perovskite Thin Films

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents the direct detection of fast neutrons using flexible hybrid 2D perovskite (PEA2PbBr4) thin‐film detectors. Thanks to their high low‐Z elements content and good charge transport, these materials enable efficient neutron detection. The thin film configuration allowed the operation at low voltage, and offer scalability, flexibility, and

Analytic study of the Maxwell electromagnetic invariant in spinning and charged Kerr-Newman black-hole spacetimes

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2023
The Maxwell invariant plays a fundamental role in the mathematical description of electromagnetic fields in charged spacetimes. In particular, it has recently been proved that spatially regular scalar fields which are non-minimally coupled to the Maxwell

Intermediate-mass black hole growth and feedback in dwarf galaxies at high redshifts [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018
Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs; masses between $100\rm{\, and \,}10^{6} \, \mathrm{M}_{\odot }$) historically comprise of an elusive population compared to stellar-mass and supermassive black holes (BHs).
