Final parsec evolution in the presence of intermediate mass black holes

, 2023
In this short note, we draw attention to the possibility that, under favorable conditions, the final parsec problem could be alleviated by the presence of a moderate population of intermediate mass black holes in the centers of merged galaxies.Comment ...

Highly Sensitive Broadband Photodetectors Based on Donor–Acceptor 2D Conjugated Coordination Polymers

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Donor–acceptor molecular design and chemical vapor deposition growth enable the two‐dimensional nickel‐tetraaminobenzoquinone films with strong broadband absorption and efficient charge separation. The resulting photodetectors exhibit a structured broadband response with a high responsivity of ∼3.1 A W−1 and a response time of ∼170 µs, which surpasses ...

Rates of Stellar Tidal Disruption Events around Intermediate-mass Black Holes

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Rates of stellar tidal disruption events (TDEs) around supermassive black holes (SMBHs) have been extensively calculated using the loss cone theory, while theoretical work on TDE rates around intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) has been lacking.

Synthesis of Bulk Superconducting LiNbO2 Crystals Through CaH2 Reduction

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
CaH2 reduction reconstructively transforms insulating LiNbO3 single crystals into superconducting bulk LiNbO2 with a critical temperature of Tc = 14.4 K. Scanning electron microscopy reveals large‐volume, high‐yield phase conversion. Magnetization measurements demonstrate a robust ∼ 77% Meissner shielding fraction, establishing bulk superconductivity ...

Survival Analysis of Intermediate-mass Black Holes in Dense Star Clusters

The Astrophysical Journal
Recently, an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) candidate was announced in the Galactic globular cluster Omega Centauri. IMBHs at the lower end of the traditional mass range have also been detected through gravitational-wave transients, though their ...

M.: Gravitational radiation from intermediate-mass black holes

, 2002
Recent X-ray observations of galaxies with ROSAT, ASCA, and Chandra have revealed numerous bright off-center point sources that, if isotropic emitters, are likely to be intermediate-mass black holes, with M $ 10 2 -10 4 M . The origin of these objects is

Gonadotropin‐Inhibitory Hormone (GnIH) and Its Receptor GPR147 Mediates Acute Stress‐Induced Activation of the Locus Coeruleus‐SAM Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gonadotropin‐inhibitory hormone (GnIH, also known as RFamide‐related peptide‐3, RFRP‐3) is a hypothalamic neuropeptide that regulates vertebrate reproduction via its receptor GPR147. Although GnIH is known to mediate stress‐induced reproductive suppression, its role in broader stress responses remains unclear.

Microscale Mapping of Fiber Strain and Damage in Composite Wrinkled Laminates Using Computed Tomography Assisted Wide‐Angle X‐Ray Scattering

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study combines full‐field tomography with diffraction mapping to quantify radial (ε002$\varepsilon _{002}$) and axial (ε100$\varepsilon _{100}$) lattice strain in wrinkled carbon‐fiber specimens for the first time. Radial microstrain gradients (−14.5 µεMPa$\varepsilon \mathrm{MPa}$−1) are found to signal damage‐prone zones ahead of failure, which ...
