Harnessing energy landscape exploration to control the buckling of cylindrical shells (2019)
Journal Article
Panter, J., Chen, J., Zhang, T., & Kusumaatmaja, H. (2019). Harnessing energy landscape exploration to control the buckling of cylindrical shells. Communications Physics, 2, Article 151. https://doi.org/10.1038/s42005-019-0251-4

Even for relatively simple thin shell morphologies, many di↵erent buckled configurations can be stable simultaneously. Which state is observed in practice is highly sensitive to both environmental perturbations and shell imperfections. The complexity...

Flux ratio anomalies in strong gravitationally lensed quasars constitute a unique way to probe the abundance of non-luminous dark matter haloes, and hence the nature of dark matter. In this paper, we identify double-imaged quasars as a statistically... Read More about Exploiting flux ratio anomalies to probe warm dark matter in future large-scale surveys.

Context. The observed signatures of winds from X-ray binaries are broadly consistent with thermal winds, which are driven by X-ray irradiation of the outer accretion disc. Thermal winds produce mass outflow rates that can exceed the accretion rate in... Read More about The impact of thermal winds on the outburst lightcurves of black hole X-ray binaries.
