Book ChapterDOI

Jets and Transients

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a general introduction to the topic of jets and high energy transients by asking seven questions that seem to be timely following recent observational and theoretical developments, the most important of which may be the growing realization that the extragalactic massive black hole and Galactic-stellar mass black hole manifestations of these phenomena provide two complementary ways of viewing a common physical mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

A variational formalism for tidal excitation: non-rotating, homentropic stars

TL;DR: In this article, a variational formalism for describing the dynamical evolution of an oscillating star with a point-mass companion in the linear, non-relativistic regime is presented.

TL;DR: The aim of the exhibition was to raise awareness of the plight of the visually impaired and to highlight the need for awareness and support for those affected by disability.

New Kinematical Constraints on Cosmic Acceleration

TL;DR: In this article, a new kinematical approach to dark energy studies was proposed, where dimensionless second and third derivatives of the scale factor a(t) with respect to cosmic time t were constructed in terms of the present-day value of the deceleration parameter q{sub 0} and the cosmic jerk parameter, j(t).
