Kavli Affiliate: Lars Bildsten | First 5 Authors: Logan J. Prust, Hila Glanz, Lars Bildsten, Hagai B. Perets, Friedrich K. Roepke | Summary: We carry out three-dimensional computations of the accretion rate onto an object (of size $R_{rm sink}$ and mass $m$) as it moves through a uniform medium at a subsonic speed $v_{infty}$. The […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael W. Young | Authors: Waruna Thotamune, Sithurandi Ubeysinghe, Kendra Kumar Shrestha, Mahmoud Elhusse Mostafa, Michael C Young and Ajith Karunarathne | Summary: Beta-adrenergic receptors (βARs) are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that mediate catecholamine-induced stress responses, such as heart rate increase and bronchodilation. In addition to signals from the cell surface, βARs also […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Dheeraj R. Pasham, Francesco Tombesi, Petra Sukova, Michal Zajacek, Suvendu Rakshit | Summary: Binaries containing a compact object orbiting a supermassive black hole are thought to be precursors of gravitational wave events, but their identification has been extremely challenging. Here, we report quasi-periodic variability in X-ray absorption […]

Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj R. Pasham | First 5 Authors: Dheeraj R. Pasham, Eric R. Coughlin, Michal Zajacek, Itai Linial, Petra Sukova | Summary: Quasi-periodic Eruptions (QPEs) represent a novel class of extragalactic X-ray transients that are known to repeat at roughly regular intervals of a few hours to days. Their underlying physical mechanism is a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj R. Pasham | First 5 Authors: Dheeraj R. Pasham, Michal Zajacek, C. J. Nixon, Eric R. Coughlin, Marzena Sniegowska | Summary: An accretion disk formed around a supermassive black hole (SMBH) after it disrupts a star is expected to be initially misaligned with respect to the black hole’s equatorial plane. This misalignment […]
