Genetic algorithms in astronomy and astrophysics

Genetic algorithms (GAs) emulate the process of biological evolution, in a computational setting, in order to generate good solutions to difficult search and optimisation problems. GA-based optimisers tend to be extremely robust and versati...

Transport Processes in Space Physics and Astrophysics

Improved background subtraction and a fresh look at jet sub-structure in JEWEL

Abstract Interactions of hard partons in the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) created with relativistic heavy ion collisions lead to characteristic modifications of the internal structure of reconstructed jets. A large part of the observed jet sub-...

Collisions and particle dynamics around black holes surrounded by PFDM in STVG

Abstract Testing dark matter effects on gravity around black holes in the framework of gravity theories through observational data is an essential task of relativistic astrophysical studies. In this work, we first obtain a new spacetime sol...

Anatomy of a Spin: The Information-Theoretic Structure of Classical Spin Systems

Collective organization in matter plays a significant role in its expressed physical properties. Typically, it is detected via an order parameter, appropriately defined for each given system’s observed emergent patterns. Recent developments...

Impact of Higher Harmonics of Gravitational Radiation on the Population Inference of Binary Black Holes

Templates modeling just the dominant mode of gravitational radiation are generally sufficient for the unbiased parameter inference of near-equal-mass compact binary mergers. However, neglecting the subdominant modes can bias the inference i...

A search for $t\bar{t}$ resonances with the ATLAS detector in 2.05 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7~\mathrm{TeV}$

Abstract A search for top quark pair resonances in final states containing at least one electron or muon has been performed with the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The search uses a data sample corresponding to an integ...

Fault interaction and earthquake triggering mechanisms: Progress and prospects

Research on fault interaction and earthquake triggering, which is a hot issue in the field of source physics, can facilitate understanding of the underlying mechanisms of strong earthquakes and also has good application prospects in earthqu...

Asteroseismology of the Nearby K Dwarf σ Draconis Using the Keck Planet Finder and TESS

Asteroseismology of dwarf stars cooler than the Sun is very challenging owing to the low amplitudes and rapid timescales of oscillations. Here we present the asteroseismic detection of solar-like oscillations at 4-minute timescales ( ${\nu ...

High‐Energy Astrophysics

High-energy astrophysics, or astroparticle physics as it is sometimes called, is a vibrant and active research field that has many connections to other branches of physics and astronomy. I review 3 topics of current interest in high-energy ...

Black holes in astrophysics

This paper reviews the current status of black hole (BH) astrophysics, focusing on topics of interest to a physics audience. Astronomers have discovered dozens of compact objects with masses greater than 3 M ⊙ , the likely maximum mass of a...

Theoretical Astrophysics

This volume provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of cosmology and extragalactic astronomy at an advanced level. Beginning with an overview of the key observational results and necessary terminology, it goes on to cover important t...

MODULES FOR EXPERIMENTS IN STELLAR ASTROPHYSICS (MESA)

Stellar physics and evolution calculations enable a broad range of research in astrophysics. Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics ( MESA ) is a suite of open source, robust, efficient, thread-safe libraries for a wide range of ap...
