A scalable method to find the shortest path in a graph with circuits of memristors
Alice Mizrahi, Thomas Marsh, Brian Hoskins +1
Finding the shortest path in a graph has applications to a wide range of optimization problems. However, algorithmic methods scale with the size of the graph in terms of time and e…
On the Role of Charge Transfer Excitations in Non-Fullerene Acceptors for Organic Photovoltaics
Samuele Giannini, Daniel J. C. Sowood, Jesus Cerda +11
Through the development of new non-fullerene electron acceptor (NFA) materials, such as Y6 and its molecular derivatives, the power conversion efficiencies of organic photovoltaics…
Topological frustration of artificial spin ice
Jasper Drisko, Thomas Marsh, John Cumings
Frustrated systems, typically characterized by competing interactions that cannot all be simultaneously satisfied, display rich behaviours not found elsewhere in nature. Artificial…
HST+COS spectra of the double white dwarf CSS 41177 place the secondary inside the pulsational instability strip
Madelon Bours, Thomas Marsh, Boris Gaensicke +1
We present Hubble Space Telescope + Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (HST+COS) data of the eclipsing double white dwarf binary CSS 41177. Due to the temperature difference between the t…
Astro2020 Science White Paper: Understanding the evolution of close white dwarf binaries
Odette Toloza, Elme Breed, Domitilla De Martino +27
Interacting binaries containing white dwarfs can lead to a variety of outcomes that range from powerful thermonuclear explosions, which are important in the chemical evolution of g…
A catalogue of cataclysmic variables from 20 years of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey with new classifications, periods, trends and oddities
Keith Inight, Boris Gänsicke, Elmé Breedt +7
We present a catalogue of 507 cataclysmic variables (CVs) observed in SDSS I to IV including 70 new classifications collated from multiple archival data sets. This represents the l…
Multimessenger science opportunities with mHz gravitational waves
John Baker, Zoltán Haiman, Elena Maria Rossi +32
LISA will open the mHz band of gravitational waves (GWs) to the astronomy community. The strong gravity which powers the variety of GW sources in this band is also crucial in a num…
Visualizing Nanodomain Superlattices in Halide Perovskites Giving Picosecond Quantum Transients
Dengyang Guo, Thomas A. Selby, Simon Kahmann +21
The high optoelectronic quality of halide perovskites lends them to be utilized in optoelectronic devices and recently in emerging quantum emission applications. Advancements in pe…
A Data Release 2 catalogue of white dwarfs and a comparison with SDSS
Nicola Pietro Gentile Fusillo, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Boris T. Gänsicke +11
We present a catalogue of white dwarf candidates selected from the second data release of (DR2). We used a sample of spectroscopically confirmed white dwarfs from the Sloan…
First light with HiPERCAM on the GTC
Vikram Dhillon, Simon Dixon, Trevor Gamble +20
HiPERCAM is a quintuple-beam imager that saw first light on the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope (WHT) in October 2017 and on the 10.4m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) in February 20…
Science cases for a visible interferometer
Philippe Stee, France Allard, Myriam Benisty +54
High spatial resolution is the key for the understanding various astrophysical phenomena. But even with the future E-ELT, single dish instruments are limited to a spatial resolutio…
JISA: A Polymorphic Test-and-Measurement Automation Library
William Alexander Wood, Thomas Marsh, Henning Sirringhaus
JISA is a software library, written in Java, aimed at providing an easy, flexible and standardised means of creating experimental control software for physical sciences researchers…
