相关论文: The CV period gap: still there

In 2017, the California-Kepler Survey (CKS) published its first data release (DR1) of high-resolution optical spectra of 1305 planet hosts. Refined CKS planet radii revealed that small planets are bifurcated into two distinct populations:…

The many-body dynamics exhibited by living objects include group formation within a population, and the non-equilibrium process of attrition between two opposing populations due to competition or conflict. We show analytically and…

We review our knowledge of the origin and phenomenology of low states (also known as VY Scl states) in cataclysmic variables, making special emphasis on the cataclysmic variable population found just above the period gap. This orbital…

Cross-validation (CV) is one of the most widely used techniques in statistical learning for estimating the test error of a model, but its behavior is not yet fully understood. It has been shown that standard confidence intervals for test…

Lack of knowledge about the detailed many-particle motion on the microscopic scale is a key issue in any theoretical description of a macroscopic experiment. For systems at or close to thermal equilibrium, statistical mechanics provides a…

Observations of rare processes containing large rapidity gaps at high energy colliders may be exceptionally informative. However the cross sections of these events are small in comparison with that for the inclusive processes since there is…

Nearly all circadian clocks maintain a period that is insensitive to temperature changes, a phenomenon known as temperature compensation (TC). Yet, it is unclear whether there is any common feature among different systems that exhibit TC.…

We reconstruct the evolutionary path followed by cataclysmic variables (CVs) from the observed mass-radius relationship of their donor stars. Along the way, we update the semi-empirical CV donor sequence of Knigge (2006) and present a…

The three bright TeV blazars Mrk 421, Mrk 501 and PKS 2155-404 are highly variable in synchrotron X-ray emission. In particular, these sources may exhibit variable time lags between flux variations at different X-ray energy bands. However,…

The ''radius valley" is a relative dearth of planets between two potential populations of exoplanets, super-Earths and mini-Neptunes. This feature appears in examining the distribution of planetary radii, but has only ever been…

The usual interpretation of noise is represented by a sum of many independent two-level elementary random signals with a distribution of relaxation times. In this paper it is demonstrated that also the superposition of many similar…

In [3] the radius of convergence of the generating function of the collision local time of two independent copies of an irreducible, symmetric and transient random walk on Zd, d \geq 1, was studied. Two versions were considered: z1, the…

Secondary stars in cataclysmic variables (CVs) follow a well defined period-density relation. Thus, canonical donor stars in CVs are generally low-mass stars of spectral type M. However, several CVs have been observed containing secondary…

In this reply, we resolve the apparent discrepancy raised in the "Comment on Inferring broken detailed balance in the absence of observable currents" [arXiv:2112.08978v1]. We stress that the non-instantaneous transition paths originate from…

[This is the unpublished supplemental information from 1989 to the paper: J.M. Deutsch, "Quantum statistical mechanics in a closed system." Phys. Rev. A, 43(4), 2046 (1991).] A closed quantum mechanical system does not necessarily give time…

Notions and limits from standard time series analysis must be modified when treating series which are measured irregularly and contain long gaps. Classical Nyquist criterion to estimate frequency range which is potentially recoverable must…

The population synthesis of cataclysmic variables below the period is investigated. A grid of detailed binary evolutionary sequences has been calculated and included in the simulations to take account of additional angular momentum losses…

In this letter we study the NP-complete vertex cover problem on finite connectivity random graphs. When the allowed size of the cover set is decreased, a discontinuous transition in solvability and typical-case complexity occurs. This…

We study the gap properties of nearest neighbors tight binding models on quasiperiodic chains. We argue that two kind of gaps should be distinguished: stable and transient. We show that stable gaps have a well defined quasiperiodic limit.…

We perform population synthesis calculations of present-day post common envelope binaries (PCEBs) and zero-age cataclysmic variables (ZACVs) using a common envelope efficiency parameter, alphaCE, that is a function of secondary mass, Ms. We…
