Gravitational wave heating of stars and accretion discs
(Oxford University Press, 2012)We investigate the electromagnetic counterpart of gravitational waves (GWs) emitted by a supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) through the viscous dissipation of the GW energy in an accretion disc and stars surrounding ... -
Gravitational waves from scattering of stellar-mass black holes in galactic nuclei
(Oxford University Press, 2009)Stellar-mass black holes (BHs) are expected to segregate and form a steep density cusp around supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in galactic nuclei. We follow the evolution of a multimass system of BHs and stars by numerically ... -
Gravitational Waves From the Kerr/CFT Correspondence
(2016-05-18)Astronomical observation suggests the existence of near-extreme Kerr black holes in the sky. Properties of diffeomorphisms imply that dynamics of the near-horizon region of near-extreme Kerr are governed by an infinite-dimensional ... -
Gravitational waves from warped spacetime
(Springer Verlag, 2007)We argue that the RSI model can provide a strong signature in a gravitational waves. This signal is a relic stochastic background generated during the cosmological phase transition from an AdS-Schwarschild phase to the RS1 ... -
Gravitational-Wave Paleontology: A New Frontier to Probe Massive Binary Stars Across Cosmic History
(2023-05-15)Pairs of stellar–mass black holes and neutron stars across our vast universe occasionally collide, unleashing bursts of gravitational waves that can now be detected on Earth since the first observation of a binary black ... -
Gravity Induced C-Deformation
(International Press, 2003)We study F-terms describing coupling of the supergravity to N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories which admit large N expansions. We show that these F-terms are given by summing over genus one non-planar diagrams of the large ... -
The Gravity of Unwanted Thoughts: Asymmetric Priming Effects in Thought Suppression
(Elsevier, 2008)An unwanted thought appears to be cued easily by reminders in the environment but often the thought itself seems to cue nothing more than the desire to eliminate it from consciousness. This unusual asymmetry in the way ... -
The Gravity Probe B test of general relativity
(IOP Publishing, 2015)The Gravity Probe B mission provided two new quantitative tests of Einstein's theory of gravity, general relativity (GR), by cryogenic gyroscopes in Earth's orbit. Data from four gyroscopes gave a geodetic drift-rate of ... -
Gravity waves from extreme-mass-ratio plunges into Kerr black holes
(American Physical Society (APS), 2014)Massive objects orbiting a near-extreme Kerr black hole quickly plunge into the horizon after passing the innermost stable circular orbit. The plunge trajectory is shown to be related by a conformal map to a circular orbit. ... -
Gravity waves from the Kerr/CFT correspondence
(American Physical Society (APS), 2014)Dynamics at large redshift near the horizon of an extreme Kerr black hole are governed by an infinite-dimensional conformal symmetry. This symmetry may be exploited to analytically, rather than numerically, compute a variety ... -
Gray anatomy: Phylogenetic patterns of somatic gonad structures and reproductive strategies across the Bilateria
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2007)The last common ancestor of extant bilaterian animals is often referred to as ‘‘Urbilateria’’. Comparative studies of development in a variety of laboratory animals, both traditional model systems and newer ‘‘emerging’’ ... -
Grazers and Phytoplankton Growth in the Oceans: an Experimental and Evolutionary Perspective
(Public Library of Science, 2013)The taxonomic composition of phytoplankton responsible for primary production on continental shelves has changed episodically through Earth history. Geological correlations suggest that major changes in phytoplankton ... -
GRB 080319B: evidence for relativistic turbulence, not internal shocks
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2009)We show that the excellent optical and gamma-ray data available for GRB 080319B rule out the internal shock model for the prompt emission. The data instead point to a model in which the observed radiation was produced close ... -
Grb 091024a and the Nature of Ultra-Long Gamma-Ray Bursts
(IOP Publishing, 2013)We present a broadband study of gamma-ray burst (GRB) 091024A within the context of other ultra-long-duration GRBs. An unusually long burst detected by Konus-Wind, Swift, and Fermi, GRB 091024A has prompt emission episodes ... -
GRB 130606A as a Probe of the Intergalactic Medium and the Interstellar Medium in a Star-forming Galaxy in the First Gyr After the Big Bang
(IOP Publishing, 2013)We present high signal-to-noise ratio Gemini and MMT spectroscopy of the optical afterglow of the gamma-ray burst (GRB) 130606A at redshift z=5.913, discovered by Swift. This is the first high-redshift GRB afterglow to ... -
Great Apes Prefer Cooked Food
(Elsevier, 2008)The cooking hypothesis proposes that a diet of cooked food was responsible for diverse morphological and behavioral changes in human evolution. However, it does not predict whether a preference for cooked food evolved ... -
The Great Compression: The Wage Structure in the United States at Mid- Century
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 1992)The structure of wages narrowed considerably during the 1940's, increased slightly during the 1950's and 1960's, and then expanded greatly after 1970. The era of wage stretching of the past two decades has been a current ... -
The Great Mystery: Death, Memory and the Archiving of Monastic Culture in Late Antique Religious Tales
(2015-05-15)The present study investigates attitudes towards and teachings about the end of life and the soul’s passage to the next world, as expressed in late antique religious tales in Greek, particularly from Egypt and the Sinai. ... -
