Dark Energy From the Gravitational Wave Background With Scalar Field Dark Matter

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent observational results, such as those from pulsar timing arrays (PTA), suggest a low‐frequency Gravitational Wave Background (GWB) permeates our universe. This opens the possibility that gravitational waves could span a broader spectrum, potentially impacting cosmological scales.

Diverse Deformation Mechanisms and Lithologic Controls in an Active Orogenic Wedge: Structural Geology and Thermochronometry of the Eastern Greater Caucasus

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 41, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Orogenic wedges are common at convergent plate margins and deform internally to maintain a self‐similar geometry during growth. New structural mapping and thermochronometry data illustrate that the eastern Greater Caucasus mountain range of western Asia undergoes deformation via distinct mechanisms that correspond with contrasting lithologies ...

Merging binary stars and the magnetic white dwarfs [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2014
A magnetic dynamo driven by differential rotation generated when stars merge can explain strong fields in certain classes of magnetic stars, including the high field magnetic white dwarfs (HFMWDs). In their case the site of the differential rotation has been variously proposed to be within a common envelope, the massive hot outer regions of a merged ...

Evaluation of growth and yield of new papaya (Carica papaya L.) hybrid lines and their performance against Moroccan watermelon mosaic virus‐causing disease

open access: yesBiological Diversity, EarlyView.
Abstract The production of Carica papaya L. in Kenya is seriously affected by the Moroccan watermelon mosaic virus and lack of improved varieties leading to the importation of expensive seeds for the resource‐scarce farmers. To curb these challenges, new papaya hybrid lines were recently selected and bred, but their growth traits and performance ...

Constitution of the White Dwarf Stars [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1931
IT is generally held that the white dwarf is in the degenerate state in the sense of the statistics of Fermi and Dirac. This assumption leads to another consequence bearing on the relative abundance of elements in the same star. Assuming further that (i) all atoms of various elements in the white dwarf are stripped of their extranuclear electrons, and (

Carbon–Oxygen Phase Separation in Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) White Dwarf Models

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We enhance the treatment of crystallization for models of white dwarfs (WDs) in the stellar evolution software Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) by implementing carbon–oxygen (C/O) phase separation.

White dwarf and subdwarf stars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 14 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
White dwarfs carry information on the structure and evolution of the Galaxy, especially through their luminosity function and initial-to-final mass relation. Very cool white dwarfs provide insight into the early ages of each population. Examining the spectra of all stars with $3\sigma$ proper motion in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 14, we ...

Accreting white dwarfs [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
White dwarfs are the most common endpoints of stellar evolution. They are often found in close binary systems in which the white dwarf is accreting matter from a companion star, either via an accretion disc or channelled along the white dwarf magnetic field lines.

From Waste to Watts: Cigarette Filter Waste to Carbon Nanomaterial‐Based Supercapacitors for Sustainable Energy Storage Applications

open access: yesBattery Energy, EarlyView.
We present an economically viable approach for synthesizing carbon nanomaterials derived from discarded cigarette filters, an abundant environmental pollutant. The resulting material exhibits desirable characteristics, including a well‐defined stacking structure, high porosity, and a substantial specific surface area, making it suitable as an active ...

Low Luminosity Companions to White Dwarfs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This paper presents results of a near-infrared imaging survey for low mass stellar and substellar companions to white dwarfs. A wide field proper motion survey of 261 white dwarfs was capable of directly detecting companions at orbital separations between $\sim100$ and 5000 AU with masses as low as 0.05 $M_{\odot}$, while a deep near field search of 86
