Quasi-periodic dipping in the ultraluminous X-ray source, NGC 247 ULX-1 by Alston, W N, Pinto, C, Barret, D, D’Aì, A, Del Santo, M, Earnshaw, H, Fabian, A C, Fuerst, F, Kara, E, Kosec, P, Middleton, M J, Parker, M L, Pintore, F, Robba, A, Roberts, T P, Sathyaprakash, R, Walton, D, Ambrosi, E

“…Determining the nature of the compact object and the accretion mode from broad-band spectroscopy is currently a challenge, but the observed timing properties provide insight into the compact object and details of the geometry and accretion processes. Here, we report a timing analysis for an 800 ks XMM–Newton campaign on the supersoft ultraluminous X-ray source, NGC 247 ULX-1. …”

Constraints on the Initial State of Pb-Pb Collisions via Measurements of Z -Boson Yields and Azimuthal Anisotropy at √sNN=5.02 TeV by Abercrombie, Daniel Robert, Allen, B, Bi, Ran, Brandt, Stephanie Akemi, Busza, Wit, Cali, Ivan Amos, Chen, Y, D'Alfonso, Mariarosaria, Gomez-Ceballos, Guillelmo, Goncharov, Maxim, Harris, Philip Coleman, Hsu, D, Hu, Miao, Klute, Markus, Kovalskyi, Dmytro, Krupa, Jeffrey, Lee, Y.-J., Luckey Jr, P David, Maier, Benedikt, Marini, A. C., McGinn, Christopher Francis, Mironov, Camelia Maria, Narayanan, S, Niu, Xinmei, Paus, Christoph M.

“…Yields of Z bosons are compared to Glauber model predictions and are found to deviate from these expectations in peripheral collisions, indicating the presence of initial collision geometry and centrality selection effects. The precision of the measurement allows, for the first time, for a data-driven determination of the nucleon-nucleon integrated luminosity as a function of lead-lead centrality, thereby eliminating the need for its estimation based on a Glauber model.…”

Fluvial Features on Titan and Earth: Lessons from Planform Images in Low-resolution SAR by Miller, JW, Birch, SPD, Hayes, AG, Malaska, MJ, Lopes, RMC, Schoenfeld, AM, Corlies, PM, Burr, DM, Farr, TG, Perron, JT

“…We found that branching angle and drainage density varied significantly with image resolution, and we therefore expect the actual drainage density of Titan’s channel networks to be significantly higher than the values calculated from Cassini data. Calculated network geometry did not change predictably with resolution and would therefore not be an ideal metric for interpreting Titan’s channel networks. …”

Modeling the Dynamics of Black Hole Systems and the Ringdown of Black Hole Spacetimes by Lim, Halston Brandon

Modeling Feedback Effects of Transient Nuclear Systems Using Monte Carlo by Kreher, Miriam A.

“…Monte Carlo neutron transport is the gold standard for accurate neutronics simulation of nuclear reactors in steady-state because each term of the neutron transport equation can be directly tallied using continuous-energy cross sections rather than needing to make approximations in energy, angle, or geometry. However, the time dependent equation includes time derivatives of flux and delayed neutron precursors which are difficult to tally. …”

The Effect of Joint Thickness on Intermetallic Growth in the In52Sn48(Liquid)/Cu(Solid) Diffusion Couple by Mouratidis, Theodore
