Iterative improvement of free energy landscape reconstructions with optimal protocols derived from differentiable simulations

Oliver Cheng, Zosia Adamska, Michael P. Brenner +1

Free energy landscapes encode the kinetics, intermediates, and transition states that govern molecular processes and are thus a key target of single biomolecule research. Typical a…

Fitting Coarse-Grained Models to Macroscopic Experimental Data via Automatic Differentiation

Ryan K. Krueger, Megan C. Engel, Ryan Hausen +1

Developing physics-based models for molecular simulation requires fitting many unknown parameters to diverse experimental datasets. Traditionally, this process is piecemeal and dif…

Inferring interaction potentials from stochastic particle trajectories

Ella M. King, Megan C. Engel, Caroline Martin +5

Accurate interaction potentials between microscopic components such as colloidal particles or cells are crucial to understanding a range of processes, including colloidal crystalli…

Optimal control of nonequilibrium systems through automatic differentiation

Megan C. Engel, Jamie A. Smith, Michael P. Brenner

Controlling the evolution of nonequilibrium systems to minimize dissipated heat or work is a key goal for designing nanodevices, both in nanotechnology and biology. Progress in com…

Galactic Ultracompact X-ray Binaries: Empirical Luminosities

T. F. Cartwright, M. C. Engel, C. O. Heinke +4

Ultracompact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) are thought to have relatively simple binary evolution post-contact, leading to clear predictions of their luminosity function. We test these pr…

Galactic Ultracompact X-ray Binaries: Disk Stability and Evolution

C. O. Heinke, N. Ivanova, M. C. Engel +4

We study the mass transfer rates and disk stability conditions of ultracompact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) using empirical time-averaged X-ray luminosities from Paper I (Cartwright et a…

A 2.15 Hour Orbital Period for the Low Mass X-Ray Binary XB 1832-330 in the Globular Cluster NGC 6652

Megan C. Engel, Craig O. Heinke, Gregory R. Sivakoff +2

We present a candidate orbital period for the low mass X-ray binary XB 1832-330 in the globular cluster NGC 6652 using a 6.5 hour Gemini South observation of the optical counterpar…
