A Comparison of the X-Ray Polarimetric Properties of Stellar and Supermassive Black Holes

The Astrophysical Journal
X-ray polarization provides a new way to probe accretion geometry in black hole systems. If the accretion geometry of black holes is similar regardless of mass, we should expect the same to be true of their polarization properties.

Trions as Fundamental Species in Chemically Doped Polymer Semiconductors

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work shows that exciton–charge carrier coupling in doped polymer semiconductors gives rise to multi‐particle states, including trions—quasiparticles consisting of two holes and one electron under p‐doping—and bound exciton‐hole pairs, as identified through spectroscopic and theoretical analysis.

Highly Coherent Quasiperiodic Oscillations in the “Heartbeat” Black Hole X-Ray Binary IGR J17091–3624

The Astrophysical Journal
IGR J17091–3624 is a black hole X-ray binary (BHXB), often referred to as the “twin” of GRS 1915+105 because it is the only other known BHXB that can show exotic “heartbeat”-like variability that is highly structured and repeated.

Unveiling Exsolution‐Induced Giant Electronic and Magnetic Property Changes in Non‐Stoichiometric Titanate Perovskite Thin Films

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A giant insulator to metal transition and emergent superparamagnetism are revealed by nanoparticle exsolution in non‐stoichiometric titanate perovskite thin films. By combining transport, synchrotron spectroscopy, and first‐principles calculations, this work reveals how defect reconfiguration and lattice reconstruction fundamentally reshape electronic ...

Covariance Spectrum of MAXI J1820+070: On the Nature of the Comptonizing Flow

The Astrophysical Journal
We present an analysis of the covariance spectrum of the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070 during its hard state. For the first time, we extend coherence and covariance studies into the hard X-ray band up to ∼150 keV.

Large‐Scale Determination of Frontier Orbital Energies of Disordered Small‐Molecule Organic Semiconductors Using Exciplex Emission Spectra

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurately knowing the frontier orbital energies of the structurally disordered small‐molecule organic semiconductors that are used in optoelectronic devices such as organic light‐emitting diodes is required to rationally improve their performance. Here, we show that these energies can be deduced with a large accuracy from the peak energies of

The Redshift Evolution of the M •–M ⋆ Relation for JWST’s Supermassive Black Holes at z > 4

The Astrophysical Journal
JWST has detected many overmassive galactic systems at z > 4, where the mass of the black hole, M _• , is 10–100 times larger than expected from local relations, given the host’s stellar mass, M _⋆ .

Tidal disruption flares from stars on eccentric orbits

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
We study tidal disruption and subsequent mass fallback for stars approaching supermassive black holes on bound orbits, by performing three dimensional Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics simulations with a pseudo-Newtonian potential.
