Population synthesis of Be X-ray binaries: metallicity dependence of total X-ray outputs

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Boyuan Liu, Nina S. Sartorio, Robert G. Izzard, Anastasia Fialkov, | Summary: X-ray binaries (XRBs) are thought to regulate cosmic thermal and ionization histories during the Epoch of Reionization and Cosmic Dawn ($zsim 5-30$).Theoretical predictions of the X-ray emission from XRBs are important for modelling such early […]

Universality of Effective Central Charge in Interface CFTs

Kavli Affiliate: Hirosi Ooguri | First 5 Authors: Andreas Karch, Yuya Kusuki, Hirosi Ooguri, Hao-Yu Sun, Mianqi Wang | Summary: When an interface connects two CFTs, the entanglement entropy between the two CFTs is determined by a quantity called the effective central charge. The effective central charge does not have a simple form in terms […]

EOS-dependent millihertz quasi-periodic oscillation in low-mass X-ray binary

Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Helei Liu, Yong Gao, Zhaosheng Li, Akira Dohi, Weiyang Wang | Summary: We studied the frequency and critical mass accretion rate of millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations (mHz QPOs) using a one-zone X-ray burst model. The surface gravity is specified by two kinds of equation of states: neutron star […]

Gamma-Ray Bursts Observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite: Prompt Optical Counterparts and Afterglows of Swift-XRT Localized GRBs

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Rahul Jayaraman, Michael Fausnaugh, George R. Ricker, Roland Vanderspek, | Summary: Throughout the past three decades, only a few tens of observations have been made of optical flashes contemporaneous with gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), despite the thousands of GRBs that have been detected during that same timeframe. In […]

Gamma-Ray Bursts Observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite: Prompt Optical Counterparts and Afterglows of Swift-XRT Localized GRBs

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Rahul Jayaraman, Michael Fausnaugh, George R. Ricker, Roland Vanderspek, | Summary: Very few detections have been made of optical flashes contemporaneous with the prompt high-energy emission from a gamma-ray burst (GRB). In this work, we present and analyze light curves of optical GRB flashes and afterglows from […]

Two of a Kind: Comparing big and small black holes in binaries with gravitational waves

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Amanda M. Farah, Maya Fishbach, Daniel E. Holz, , | Summary: When modeling the population of merging binary black holes, analyses generally focus on characterizing the distribution of primary (i.e. more massive) black holes in the binary, while simplistic prescriptions are used for the distribution of […]
