Journal ArticleDOI
The Chiral Puzzle of Life
Noemie Globus,Roger Blandford +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that this bias can lead to the emergence of a single, chiral life form over an evolutionary timescale, and if this mechanism dominates, then the handedness of living systems should be universal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Roche accretion of stars close to massive black holes
Lixin Dai,Roger Blandford +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the relativistic interpolation formulae for the volume enclosed by the Roche lobe were presented for the inspiral time and the radiation-reaction torque in a binary system formed by a star orbiting a massive black hole.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spontaneous decay of periodic magnetostatic equilibria
TL;DR: In this article, a prototypical class of magnetostatic equilibria in which the magnetic field satisfies ∇×B=αB, where α is spatially uniform, on a periodic domain is studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present observations of the Class B2108+213, the widest separation gravitational lens system discovered by the Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey, and a plausible mass distribution model for the system is also presented.
