Transition from adiabatic inspiral to plunge for eccentric binaries

Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: Devin R. Becker, Scott A. Hughes, , , | Summary: Black hole binaries with small mass ratios will be critical targets for the forthcoming Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission. They also serve as useful tools for understanding the properties of binaries at general mass ratios. […]

The spin lifetime of an individual atomic nucleus investigated via local-probe single-shot readout

Kavli Affiliate: Sander Otte | First 5 Authors: Evert W. Stolte, Jinwon Lee, Hester Vennema, Rik Broekhoven, Esther Teng | Summary: Nuclear spins owe their long-lived magnetic states to their excellent isolation from their environment. At the same time, a limited degree of interaction with their surroundings is necessary for reading and writing the spin […]
