Real-Time Holography and Hybrid WKB for BTZ Wormholes

Vasil Dimitrov, Daniel R. Mayerson, Vincent Min

We study probe scalar correlation functions in a Solodukhin wormhole corresponding to the non-rotating BTZ black hole, as a toy model for microstate geometries thereof. Using real-…

Ultraviolet Spectropolarimetry with Polstar: Clumping and Mass-loss Rate Corrections

Ken Gayley, Jorick S. Vink, Asif ud-Doula +13

The most massive stars are thought to lose a significant fraction of their mass in a steady wind during the main-sequence and blue supergiant phases. This in turn sets the stage fo…

Detailed models of interacting short-period massive binary stars

K. Sen, N. Langer, P. Marchant +10

About a quarter of massive binary stars undergo mass transfer while both stars burn hydrogen at their cores, first on the thermal and then on the nuclear timescale. The nuclear tim…
