Abstract: Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) mark some of the most
energetic, luminous, and dazzling ends of massive stars and neutron
star binaries alike. They've been observed to be well separated by
their gamma-ray duration into "short" and "long" (and...
Abstract: The first detection of gravitational waves in 2015,
created by the merger of black holes more than a billion years ago,
was followed by many other signals from black holes. In 2017, the
merger of neutron stars was detected by LIGO and...
Abstract: Extremal horizons (and associated
emergent quantum criticality of the corresponding holographic
models) receive strong quantum corrections at very low
temperatures. We point out that when such models are embedded
in top-down holography...
Planetary atmospheres are highly dynamic systems. Atmospheric
circulation, cloud formation, and radiative transfer drive
persistent variability. The discovery and characterization of
exoplanets have dramatically expanded our ability to study
these...
Abstract: Axions are some of the best-motivated
beyond the Standard Model particle candidates at present. These
ultralight particles may account for the cosmological
dark matter and explain other outstanding problems in nature, such
as the strong-CP...
Abstract: Dwarf galaxies, despite (or perhaps because of) their
small masses, are puzzles that challenge prevailing cosmological
models. As the most common galaxies in the universe, they offer a
powerful window into studying dark matter on the...
