Lighthouses of Gravitational Wave Astronomy
Gravitational wave detectors capable of making astronomical observations could begin to operate within the next year, and over the next 10 years they will extend their reach out to cosmological distances, culminating in the space mission LISA. A prime target of these observatories will be binary systems, especially those whose orbits shrink measurably during an observation period. These systems...
متن کاملCoase and Bertrand on lighthouses
Coase (Journal of Low and Economics 17(2):185–213, 1974) failed to appreciate that the construction and maintenance of nineteenth-century lighthouses were in part financed by British taxpayers. Bertrand (Cambridge Journal of Economics 30:389–402, 2006) rightly calls him to account. While agreeing with Bertrand’s conclusion, we dispute her reasoning and argue that lighthouses nevertheless could ...
متن کاملThe Mergelyan-Bishop Theorem
We define the differential operator ∂ ∂z on infinitely differentiable functions (also called smooth or C∞ functions) on some open set in C by ∂ ∂z = 1 2 ( ∂ ∂x + i ∂ ∂y ). A quick calculation shows that ∂ ∂z obeys the product rule. Recall that a function f is holomorphic if and only if ∂ ∂z (f) = 0. A function is biholomorphic, or an analytic isomorphism, if it is holomorphic and has holomorphi...
متن کاملLighthouses for Scalable Distributed Location
This paper introduces Lighthouse, a scalable location mechanism for wide-area networks. Unlike existing vector-based systems such as GNP, we show how network-location can be established without using a fixed set of reference points. This lets us avoid the communication bottlenecks and single-points-of-failure that otherwise limit the practicality of such systems.
متن کاملWhy Do AGN Lighthouses Switch Off?
Nearby galactic nuclei are observed to be very much dimmer than active galactic nuclei in distant galaxies. The Chandra X-ray Observatory has provided a definitive explanation for why this is so. With its excellent angular resolution, Chandra has imaged hot X-ray-emitting gas close to the gravitational capture radius of a handful of supermassive black holes, including Sgr A∗ in the nucleus of o...
