Instability and trajectories of buoyancy-driven annular disks: A numerical study

François Gallaire, Pier Giuseppe Ledda

We investigate the stability of the steady vertical path and the emerging trajectories of a buoyancy -driven annular disk as the diameter of its central hole is varied. The steady and axisymmetric wake associated with the steady vertical path of the disk, ...

A generalization of the Hawking black hole area theorem

Veronica Sacchi

Hawking's black hole area theorem was proven using the null energy condition (NEC), a pointwise condition violated by quantum fields. The violation of the NEC is usually cited as the reason that black hole evaporation is allowed in the context of semiclass ...

Resolving the vicinity of supermassive black holes with gravitational microlensing

Georgios Vernardos

Upcoming wide-field surveys will discover thousands of new strongly lensed quasars which will be monitored with unprecedented cadence by the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). Many of these quasars will undergo caustic-crossing events over the 10-yr L ...

Accretion Disk Size and Updated Time-delay Measurements in the Gravitationally Lensed Quasar SDSS J165043.44+425149.3

Frédéric Courbin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon

We analyze variability in 15-season optical lightcurves from the doubly imaged lensed quasar SDSS J165043.44+425149.3 (SDSS1650), comprising five seasons of monitoring data from the Maidanak Observatory (277 nights in total, including the two seasons of da ...

Critical degeneracy in a nonlinear hyperbolic equation can produce atypical instability

Charles Stuart

This paper deals with the initial value problem for a semilinear wave equation on a bounded domain and solutions are required to vanish on the boundary of this domain. The essential feature of the situation considered here is that the ellipticity of the sp ...

Primordial black hole isocurvature modes from non-Gaussianity

Raphaël van Laak

Primordial black holes (PBHs) are black holes that might have formed in high density regions in the early universe. The presence of local-type non-Gaussianity can lead to large-scale fluctuations in the PBH formation rate. If PBHs make up a non-negligible ...

Chemical Trend of Nonradiative Recombination in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 Alloys

Stefano Falletta

Nonradiative recombination in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) solar cells has long been attributed to the antisite defects MCu (M = In, Ga), but the underlying mechanism is still elusive. Using rigorous first-principles calculations, we demonstrate that the antisites ...

Strong gravitational lensing by AGNs as a probe of the quasar-host relations in the distant Universe

Frédéric Courbin, Malte Tewes, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Aymeric Alexandre Galan

A rare case of a quasar acting as a gravitational lens allows a precise determination of the mass of the quasar's host galaxy and offers a new path to studying the connections between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies. ...

Probing compact dark matter objects with microlensing in gravitationally lensed quasars

Frédéric Courbin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Hung-Hsu Chan, Eric Gérard Guy Paic

The microlensing signal in the light curves of gravitationally lensed quasars can shed light on the dark matter (DM) composition in their lensing galaxies. Here, we investigate a sample of six lensed quasars from the most recent and best COSMOGRAIL observa ...

Classical soft graviton theorem rewritten

Biswajit Sahoo

Classical soft graviton theorem gives the gravitational wave-form at future null infinity at late retarded time u for a general classical scattering. The large u expansion has three known universal terms: the constant term, the term proportional to 1/u and ...

Learning the Exciton Properties of Azo-dyes

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Alberto Fabrizio, Sergio Vela Llausi, Ksenia Briling

The ab initio determination of electronic excited state (ES) properties is the cornerstone of theoretical photochemistry. Yet, traditional ES methods become impractical when applied to fairly large molecules, or when used on thousands of systems. Machine l ...

Einstein-Cartan Portal to Dark Matter

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Inar Timiryasov, Andrey Shkerin, Sebastian Zell

It is well known since the works of Utiyama and Kibble that the gravitational force can be obtained by gauging the Poincare group, which puts gravity on the same footing as the standard model fields. The resulting theory-Einstein-Cartan gravity-inevitably ...

Evidence for a spin acoustic surface plasmon from inelastic atom scattering

Davide Campi

Closed-shell atoms scattered from a metal surface exchange energy and momentum with surface phonons mostly via the interposed surface valence electrons, i.e., via the creation of virtual electron-hole pairs. The latter can then decay into surface phonons v ...
