Time-Delay Cosmography: Measuring the Hubble Constant and Other Cosmological Parameters with Strong Gravitational Lensing

Frédéric Courbin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon

Multiply lensed images of a same source experience a relative time delay in the arrival of photons due to the path length difference and the different gravitational potentials the photons travel through. This effect can be used to measure absolute distance ...

Excited State-Specific CASSCF Theory for the Torsion of Ethylene

Sandra Saade

State-specific complete active space self-consistent field (SS-CASSCF) theory has emerged as a promising route to accurately predict electronically excited energy surfaces away from molecular equilibria. However, its accuracy and practicality for chemical ...

High-order geometric integrators for the variational Gaussian wavepacket dynamics and application to vibronic spectra at finite temperature

Roya Moghaddasi Fereidani

Molecular quantum dynamics simulations are essential for understanding many fundamental phenomena in physics and chemistry. They often require solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for molecular nuclei, which is challenging even for medium-sized ...

Predicting Ion Diffusion from the Shape of Potential Energy Landscapes

Berend Smit, Senja Dominique Barthel

We present an efficient method to compute diffusion coefficients of multiparticle systems with strong interactions directly from the geometry and topology of the potential energy field of the migrating particles. The approach is tested on Li-ion diffusion ...

An Unbiased Method of Measuring the Ratio of Two Data Sets

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan

In certain cases of astronomical data analysis, the meaningful physical quantity to extract is the ratio R between two data sets. Examples include the lensing ratio, the interloper rate in spectroscopic redshift samples, and the decay rate of gravitational ...

Experimental and numerical investigation of the unbalance behavior of rigid rotors supported by spiral-grooved gas journal bearings

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Elia Iseli

The forced response of rigid rotors, supported by herringbone-grooved gas journal bearings are investigated numerically and experimentally. The rotor configurations are varied by using end cylinders, attached at both sides of the shaft. Three rotors with d ...

Energetics and mixing of thermally driven flows in Hele-Shaw cells

Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez

Thermally driven flows in fractures play a key role in enhancing the heat transfer and fluid mixing across the Earth’s lithosphere. Yet the energy pathways in such confined environments have not been characterised. Building on Letelier et al. (J. Fluid Mec ...

Design of a compliant load cell with adjustable stiffness

Charles Baur, Lennart Rubbert, Michal Stanislaw Smreczak

Manipulation at the sub-micron scale often requires force-sensing capabilities of milli-to nanonewton forces. This article presents a novel design of a compliant load cell with mechanically adjustable stiffness. The system enables adapting force sensitivit ...

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 ...

Secular effects of ultralight dark matter on binary pulsars

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino

Dark matter (DM) can consist of very light bosons behaving as a classical scalar field that experiences coherent oscillations. The presence of this DM field would perturb the dynamics of celestial bodies, either because the (oscillating) DM stress tensor m ...

Quasi-stationary flow structure in turbidity currents

Giovanni De Cesare

A turbidity current is a particle-laden current driven by density differences due to suspended sediment particles. Turbidity currents can transport large amounts of sediment down slopes over great distances, and play a significant role in fluvial, lake and ...

Machine-Learning of Atomic-Scale Properties Based on Physical Principles

Michele Ceriotti, Michael John Willatt

We briefly summarize the kernel regression approach, as used recently in materials modelling, to fitting functions, particularly potential energy surfaces, and highlight how the linear algebra framework can be used to both predict and train from linear fun ...

Gravitational Mass Carried by Sound Waves

Angelo Esposito

We show that the commonly accepted statement that sound waves do not transport mass is only true at linear order. Using effective field theory techniques, we confirm the result found by Nicolis and Penco [Phys. Rev. 13 97, 134516 (2018)] for zero -temperat ...

Automated Multiscale Approach To Predict Self-Diffusion from a Potential Energy Field

Berend Smit, Senja Dominique Barthel

For large-scale screening studies there is a need to estimate the diffusion of gas molecules in nanoporous materials more efficiently than (brute force) molecular dynamics. In particular for systems with low diffusion coefficients molecular dynamics can be ...

Characterising the environment and the line of sight of gravitationally lensed quasars using weak lensing technique

Olga Tihhonova

Estimates of the Hubble constant from different cosmological probes produce discrepant results in the framework of the standard cosmological model. In order to assess whether this tension is coming from unaccounted systematic errors, or is hinting towards ...

Experimental Performance of Completely Passive Single and Recirculating Loop Thermosyphon Cooling Systems using Low GWP R1234ze and R1234yf

John Richard Thome

This paper proposes a novel concept for a loop thermosyphon cooling system, designed for the transistor module of a transformer. The thermosyphon uses a free convection cooled condenser, making the system completely passive, i.e. no energy consumption is n ...

Galactic rotation curves versus ultralight dark matter: Implications of the soliton-host halo relation

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino

Bosonic ultralight dark matter (ULDM) would form cored density distributions at the center of galaxies. These cores, seen in numerical simulations, admit analytic description as the lowest energy bound state solution ("soliton") of the Schroedinger-Poisson ...

The turbulent pressure support in galaxy clusters revisited

Claudio Gheller

Due to their late formation in cosmic history, clusters of galaxies are not fully in hydrostatic equilibrium and the gravitational pull of their mass at a given radius is expected not to be entirely balanced by the thermal gas pressure. Turbulence may supp ...

Advanced gravitational lensing techniques for precision cosmology

Markus Rexroth

Gravitational lensing - the deflection of light by gravity - has greatly developed since its famous first observation in 1919, which validated Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. The strength of this effect does not depend on the nature of the mass wh ...

Mechanical energy budget and mixing efficiency for a radiatively heated ice-covered waterbody

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez

Ice-covered waterbodies are far from being quiescent systems. In this paper, we investigate ice-covered freshwater basins heated by solar radiation that penetrates across waters with temperatures below or near the temperature of maximum density. In this sc ...
