On the Dynamics of Binary Asteroids Applied to DART Mission Target (65803) Didymos
(2022)NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission will be the first full-scale demonstration of a kinetic impactor for planetary defense. On September 26, 2022, the DART spacecraft is expected to impact Dimorphos, the ... -
A portrait of the binary compact merger as a young: Short GRB, Gravitational wave, Afterglow, and Kilonova
(2022)Both binary neutron star (BNS) and neutron star–black hole (NSBH) mergers radiate gravitational waves (GWs) as they gradually spiral inwards. Once they merge, they emit electromagnetic (EM) radiation that is potentially ... -
Tracing the formation and merger-driven growth of massive black holes with the Zwicky Transient Facility
(2022)The dawning of low--frequency gravitational wave (GW) astronomy via pulsar timing arrays and space--based GW interferometry will provide new opportunities for the study of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries which ... -
ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEUS FEEDBACK IN GIANTS AND DWARFS
(2022)Feedback from Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) may play a critical role in the coevolution of galaxies and supermassive black holes (SMBH). Specifically, AGN feedback may quench star formation, suppress baryon-to-dark matter ... -
A Study of Diverse Hot Jupiter Atmospheres
(2022)The discovery of over 5000 planets outside the solar system has evermore changed our view of the universe and the tale of other worlds beyond Earth is no longer folklore. In 1989, David Latham found the first planetary ...
