Gravitational wave fluxes on generic orbits in near-extreme Kerr spacetime: higher spin and large eccentricity
To obtain the waveform template of gravitational waves (GWs), substantial computational resources and exceedingly high precision are often required. In the previous study [JCAP 11 (2023) 070], we efficiently and accurately calculate GW fluxes of a particle in circular orbits around a Schwarzschild black hole using the confluent Heun function. We extend the previous method to calculate the asymptotic GW fluxes from a particle in generic orbits around a near-extreme Kerr black hole. Especially wh…

Wolfe veers chapter by chapter between close readings of often obscure Reformation theologians
and mostly unsourced screeds against the dangers of feminist "gynocracy" and immigrant invasion.

The Netherlands has an obligation for companies to take energy saving measures with a payback time of less than 7 years. Large energy users had to report on their measures by 1 December 2023, but 4.5 months later, less than half had done so.

Grote bedrijven moeten verplicht energie besparen, maar meeste doen niet mee
De meest energie-intensieve bedrijven van Nederland kunnen samen vele honderden miljoenen kubieke meters aardgas besparen met maatregelen die ze binnen korte tijd hebben terugverdiend. Ze zijn daar ook toe verplicht, maar de meerderheid van de bedrijven werkt niet mee.
