Systematic bias in LISA ringdown analysis due to waveform inaccuracy
Inaccurate modeling of gravitational-wave signals can introduce systematic biases in the inferred source parameters. As detector sensitivities improve and signals become louder, mitigating such waveform-induced systematics becomes increasingly important. In this work, we assess the systematic biases introduced by an incomplete description of the ringdown signal from massive black hole binaries in the LISA band. Specifically, we investigate the impact of mode truncation in the ringdown template.…

Direct reconstruction of the Reionization history from 21cm 2D Power Spectra
The 21cm line from the spin-flip transition of neutral hydrogen (HI) provides a unique window into the Epoch of Reionization (EoR), the final phase transition of our Universe. The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) enables precise measurements of 21cm fluctuations that trace ionization, temperature, and density fluctuations of the intergalactic medium (IGM). Nevertheless, a direct reconstruction of the timeline of the EoR in terms of the progress of ionization remains an ongoing challenge due to the …

Brauchtum ist Reenactment einer modernen Vorstellung einer guten alten Zeit, die selten älter ist als drei Generationen.

Former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani have been locked in a tight contest.
By later tonight, voters are certain to know which candidate is in the lead,
but under the city’s ranked-choice voting system, a winner may not be clear until next week.

Mamdani Holds Lead Over Cuomo in Democratic Primary for NYC Mayor: Live Updates
Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old state assemblyman, built a significant advantage over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo thanks to a strong showing in Brooklyn and Manhattan. A winner might not be declared until ranked-choice ballots are tabulated next week.

Sonnet 109 - CIX
O! never say that I was false of heart,
Though absence seem'd my flame to qualify,
As easy might I from my self depart
As from my soul which in thy breast doth lie:
That is my home of love: if I have ranged,
Like him that travels, I return again;
Just to the time, not with the time exchanged,
So that myself bring water for my stain.
Never believe though in my nature reigned,
All frailties that besiege all kinds …
