the uncertainties in neutron star radii and crust properties due to our limited knowledge of the equation of state are quantitatively analyzed. we first demonstrate the importance of a unified microscopic description for the different baryonic densities of the star. if the pressure functional is obtained matching a cru...
neutron star radii and crusts: uncertainties and unified equations of state
context. recent years have seen building evidence that planet formation starts early, in the first ~0.5 myr. studying the dust masses available in young disks enables us to understand the origin of planetary systems given that mature disks are lacking the solid material necessary to reproduce the observed exoplanetary ...
dust masses of young disks: constraining the initial solid reservoir for planet formation
about 10 μs after the big bang, the universe was filled—in addition to photons and leptons—with strong-interaction matter consisting of quarks and gluons, which transitioned to hadrons at temperatures close to kt = 150 mev and densities several times higher than those found in nuclei. this quantum chromodynamics (qcd) ...
probing dense baryon-rich matter with virtual photons
massive black holes (mbhs) inhabit galactic centres, and power luminous quasars and active galactic nuclei, shaping their cosmic environment with the energy they produce. the origins of mbhs remain a mystery, and the recent detection by ligo/virgo of a black hole of almost 150 solar masses has revitalized the questions...

hot subluminous stars of spectral type b and o are core helium-burning stars at the blue end of the horizontal branch or have evolved even beyond that stage. most hot subdwarf stars are chemically highly peculiar and provide a laboratory to study diffusion processes that cause these anomalies. the most obvious anomaly ...

the geometry of the accretion flow around stellar-mass black holes can change on timescales of days to months1-3. when a black hole emerges from quiescence (that is, it `turns on' after accreting material from its companion) it has a very hard (high-energy) x-ray spectrum produced by a hot corona4,5 positioned above it...

in a recent paper [1 p. v. p. cunha, c. a. r. herdeiro, e. radu, and h. f. runarsson, phys. rev. lett. 115, 211102 (2015).], it was shown that the lensing of light around rotating boson stars and kerr black holes with scalar hair can exhibit chaotic patterns. since no separation of variables is known (or expected) for ...

we investigate the properties of haloes, galaxies and black holes to z = 0 in the high-resolution hydrodynamical simulation massiveblack-ii (mbii) which evolves a λ cold dark matter cosmology in a comoving volume vbox = (100 mpc h-1)3. mbii is the highest resolution simulation of this size which includes a self-consist...
the massiveblack-ii simulation: the evolution of haloes and galaxies to z ∼ 0
a review of solar cycle prediction methods and their performance is given, including early forecasts for cycle 25. the review focuses on those aspects of the solar cycle prediction problem that have a bearing on dynamo theory. the scope of the review is further restricted to the issue of predicting the amplitude (and o...
solar cycle prediction
the phase-space structure of zero-temperature quarkyonic matter is a fermi sphere of quark matter surrounded by a shell of nucleonic matter. we construct a quasiparticle model of quarkyonic matter based on the constituent quark model, where the quark and nucleon masses are related by mq=mn/nc , and nc is the number of ...
dynamically generated momentum space shell structure of quarkyonic matter via an excluded volume model
we present 294 pulsars found in gev data from the large area telescope (lat) on the fermi gamma-ray space telescope. another 33 millisecond pulsars (msps) discovered in deep radio searches of lat sources will likely reveal pulsations once phase-connected rotation ephemerides are achieved. a further dozen optical and/or...
the third fermi large area telescope catalog of gamma-ray pulsars
the building of planetary systems is controlled by the gas and dust dynamics of protoplanetary disks. while the gas is simultaneously accreted onto the central star and dissipated away by winds, dust grains aggregate and collapse to form planetesimals and eventually planets. this dust and gas dynamics involves instabil...
hydro-, magnetohydro-, and dust-gas dynamics of protoplanetary disks
planet formation theories predict that some planets may be ejected from their parent systems as result of dynamical interactions and other processes. unbound planets can also be formed through gravitational collapse, in a way similar to that in which stars form. a handful of free-floating planetary-mass objects have be...
no large population of unbound or wide-orbit jupiter-mass planets
the recent detections of the binary black hole mergers gw150914 and gw151226 have inaugurated the field of gravitational-wave astronomy. for the two main formation channels that have been proposed for these sources, isolated binary evolution in galactic fields and dynamical formation in dense star clusters, the predict...
