TL;DR: In this paper, the mass, spin, and redshift distributions of binary black hole (BBH) mergers with LIGO and Advanced Virgo observations were analyzed using phenomenological population models.
Abstract: We present results on the mass, spin, and redshift distributions with phenomenological population models using the 10 binary black hole (BBH) mergers detected in the first and second observing runs completed by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo. We constrain properties of the BBH mass spectrum using models with a range of parameterizations of the BBH mass and spin distributions. We find that the mass distribution of the more massive BH in such binaries is well approximated by models with no more than 1% of BHs more massive than 45 M and a power-law index of (90% credibility). We also show that BBHs are unlikely to be composed of BHs with large spins aligned to the orbital angular momentum. Modeling the evolution of the BBH merger rate with redshift, we show that it is flat or increasing with redshift with 93% probability. Marginalizing over uncertainties in the BBH population, we find robust estimates of the BBH merger rate density of R= (90% credibility). As the BBH catalog grows in future observing runs, we expect that uncertainties in the population model parameters will shrink, potentially providing insights into the formation of BHs via supernovae, binary interactions of massive stars, stellar cluster dynamics, and the formation history of BHs across cosmic time.

TL;DR: The beam energy and collision centrality dependence of the mean, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis of the net-proton multiplicity distributions in Au+Au collisions and the products of moments are found to be significantly below the Skellam expectation and close to expectations based on independent proton and antiproton production.
Abstract: We report the beam energy (root S-NN = 7.7-200 GeV) and collision centrality dependence of the mean (M), standard deviation (sigma), skewness (S), and kurtosis (kappa) of the net-proton multiplicity distributions in Au + Au collisions. The measurements are carried out by the STAR experiment at midrapidity (vertical bar y vertical bar < 0.5) and within the transverse momentum range 0.4 < p(T) < 0.8 GeV/c in the first phase of the Beam Energy Scan program at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. These measurements are important for understanding the quantum chromodynamic phase diagram. The products of the moments, S sigma and K sigma(2), are sensitive to the correlation length of the hot and dense medium created in the collisions and are related to the ratios of baryon number susceptibilities of corresponding orders. The products of moments are found to have values significantly below the Skellam expectation and close to expectations based on independent proton and antiproton production. The measurements are compared to a transport model calculation to understand the effect of acceptance and baryon number conservation and also to a hadron resonance gas model.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors place constraints on the dipole radiation and possible deviations from GR in the post-Newtonian coefficients that govern the inspiral regime of a binary neutron star inspiral.
Abstract: The recent discovery by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo of a gravitational wave signal from a binary neutron star inspiral has enabled tests of general relativity (GR) with this new type of source. This source, for the first time, permits tests of strong-field dynamics of compact binaries in the presence of matter. In this Letter, we place constraints on the dipole radiation and possible deviations from GR in the post-Newtonian coefficients that govern the inspiral regime. Bounds on modified dispersion of gravitational waves are obtained; in combination with information from the observed electromagnetic counterpart we can also constrain effects due to large extra dimensions. Finally, the polarization content of the gravitational wave signal is studied. The results of all tests performed here show good agreement with GR.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used first-principles calculations to identify active sites for the CO2 reduction reaction for Ag and Au metals, the two metals that have been shown to be the most active in producing CO.
Abstract: Highly active and selective CO2 conversion into useful chemicals is desirable to generate valuable products out of greenhouse gases. To date, various metal-based heterogeneous catalysts have shown promising electrochemical catalytic activities for CO2 reduction, yet there have been no systematic studies of the active sites of these metal catalysts that can guide further experiments. In this study, we use first-principles calculations to identify active sites for the CO2 reduction reaction for Ag and Au metals, the two metals that have been shown to be the most active in producing CO. We compare the catalytic activity and selectivity of three reaction sites of nanoparticles, namely, low-index surfaces, edge sites, and corner sites of these metals. For nanoparticle corner sites, in particular, we find that the size effect is critical, and 309-atom (or larger) nanoparticles should be used to appropriately describe realistic metal nanocatalysts. However, a 55-atom cluster model is often used in the literature...
