We show how the observable number of binaries in LISA is affected by eccentricity through its influence on peak gravitational-wave frequency, enhanced binary density required to produce LIGO observed rate, and reduced signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) for an eccentric event. also demonstrate these effects should make it possible learn about distribution formation channels counting as a function even ...

Across the visual field, progressive differences exist in neural processing as well as perceptual abilities. Expansion of stimulus scale across eccentricity compensates for some basic visual capacities, but not for high-order functions. It was hypothesized that as with many higher-order functions, perceptual grouping ability should decline across eccentricity. To test this prediction, psychophy...

muḥyī al-dīn maghribī is among the few astronomers of the middle ages whose astronomical system is entirely based on new measures of planetary parameters and whose measurement of the observational data and calculation processes for determining their amount have been carried out in maragha observatory. he has explained the details of his observations and calculations in a volume called talkhīṣ a...

Binary black hole simulations starting from quasi-circular (i.e., zero radial velocity) initial data have orbits with small but nonzero orbital eccentricities. In this paper, the quasi-equilibrium initial-data method is extended to allow nonzero radial velocities to be specified in binary black hole initial data. New low-eccentricity initial data are obtained by adjusting the orbital frequency ...

Eccentricity-dependent sensitivity losses in spatial discrimination tasks can often be overcome by scaling stimuli at each eccentricity by a factor F=1+E/E(2). However, because there may be more than one eccentricity-dependent limitation at play in a particular task a single scaling function may be insufficient to explain all sensitivity losses as stimuli are moved from foveal to peripheral ret...

Bisection thresholds are approximately proportional to the separation/eccentricity of the targets. This "Weber's law" for position has been invoked over the past century. It is the separation of the reference targets, or their eccentricity which determines the threshold? In previous studies separation and eccentricity are confounded. In the present report we have pitted separation against eccen...

Recently we reported that the topographic organization of visual field eccentricity in human visual cortex extends into high-order, ventral occipitotemporal (VOT) cortex. Within this cortex, regions that respond preferentially to faces and buildings have specific eccentricity biases, suggesting that this category-eccentricity association may reflect differential needs of recognition processes. ...

We calculate the eccentricity excitation of asteroids produced by the sweeping ν6 secular resonance during the epoch of planetesimal-driven giant planet migration in the early history of the solar system. We derive analytical expressions for the magnitude of the eccentricity change and its dependence on the sweep rate and on planetary parameters; the ν6 sweeping leads to either an increase or a...
