Validation of small Kepler transiting planet candidates in or near the habitable zone
Guillermo Torres, Stephen R. Kane, Jason F. Rowe +16
A main goal of NASA's Kepler Mission is to establish the frequency of potentially habitable Earth-size planets (eta Earth). Relatively few such candidates identified by the mission…
Cosmological applications of the Brown-York quasilocal mass
Marianne Lapierre-Leonard, Valerio Faraoni, Faycal Hammad
The Brown-York quasilocal energy is applied to three cosmological problems which have previously been studied with the Hawking-Hayward quasilocal energy (Newtonian simulations of l…
Density perturbations in -gravity with an application to the (varying power)-law model
Fayçal Hammad
Density perturbations in the cosmic microwave background within general models of gravity are investigated. The general dynamical equations for the tensor and scalar modes…
Solving the Vialov equation of glaciology in terms of elementary functions
Valerio Faraoni
Very few exact solutions are known for the non-linear Vialov ordinary differential equation describing the longitudinal profiles of alpine glaciers and ice caps under the assumptio…
Pulsation of black holes
Changjun Gao, Youjun Lu, You-Gen Shen +1
The Hawking-Penrose singularity theorem states that a singularity forms inside a black hole in general relativity. To remove this singularity one must resort to a more fundamental…
Three new roads to the Planck scale
Valerio Faraoni
Three new heuristic derivations of the Planck scale are described. They are based on basic principles or phenomena of relativistic gravity and quantum physics. The Planck scale qua…
