The evolutionary history of ultra-compact accreting binaries

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. AM Canum Venaticorum (AM CVn) stars are ultra-compact binary systems composed of a white dwarf primary accreting from a hydrogen-deficient donor.

Large‐Scale and Cost‐Effective Fabrication of Ultra‐Thin, Biodegradable Microelectrode Arrays and Pressure Sensors Using Laser Micromachining

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A mask‐free and cost‐effective UV‐pico‐second laser‐based microfabrication method is proposed to fabricate large‐area biodegradable microelectrode arrays and pressure sensors. These devices demonstrate low impedance, good conformability, excellent biocompatibility, and rapid degradation, providing a new route for next‐generation transient electronics ...

The Newly Discovered Nova Super-remnant Surrounding Recurrent Nova T Coronae Borealis: Will it Light Up during the Coming Eruption?

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
A century or less separates the thermonuclear-powered eruptions of recurrent novae (RNe) in the hydrogen-rich envelopes of massive white dwarfs. The colliding ejecta of successive RN events are predicted to always generate very large (tens of parsecs ...

Unveiling the white dwarf in the eclipsing polar HU Aquarii

Astronomy & Astrophysics
We present an analysis of high-speed u- and r-band photometry of the eclipsing polar HU Aqr that was obtained with ULTRACAM mounted on the VLT. The observations were performed during a low state, permitting us for the first time to determine the contact ...

High Energy Emission of Symbiotic Recurrent Novae: RS Oph and V407 Cyg

Open Astronomy, 2012
Recurrent novae occurring in symbiotic binaries are candidate sources of high energy photons, reaching GeV energies. Such emission is a consequence of particle acceleration leading to pion production.

The Influence of Mesoscale Particle Structure on the Electrode Degradation and Resultant Electrochemistry of Lithium Ion Cells With Nickel Rich Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide Positive Electrodes

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Milled polycrystalline NMC811 cathode (MPC NMC) with smaller secondary particle and higher surface area had 1) greater cathode tortuosity, 2) reduced surface Ni on the cycled MPC cathodes consistent with surface reconstruction, and 3) increased Ni deposition from cathode‐anode crosstalk, manifesting in lower functional capacity and higher impedance ...
