  text: We present here a comparison of three different X-ray crystal structures of
    DNA tetradecamer sequence d(CCCGGGTACCCGGG)2 all at about 1.7 Å resolution. The
    sequence was designed as an attempt to form a DNA four-way junction with A-type
    helical arms. However, in the presence of zinc, magnesium, and in the absence
    of any metal ion, it does not take up the junction structure, but forms an A-type
    double helix. This allowed us to study possible conformational changes in the
    double helix due to the presence of metal ions. Upon addition of the zinc ion,
    there is a change in the space group from P41212 to P41. The overall conformation
    of the duplex remains the same. There are small changes in the interaction of
    the metal ions with the DNA. In the zinc-bound structure, there are two zinc ions
    that show direct interaction with the N7 atoms of terminal G13 bases at either
    end of the molecule. There are small changes in the interhelical contacts. The
    consequence of these differences is to break some of the symmetry and change the
    space group.

  text: We show that a non-singular integral form of degree d is soluble over the
    integers if and only if it is soluble over ℝ and over ℚp for all primes p, provided
    that the form has at least (d - 1/2 √d)2d variables. This improves on a longstanding
    result of Birch.

  text: The optical and UV emission from sub-parsec massive black hole binaries (MBHBs)
    in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is believed to vary periodically, on time-scales
    comparable to the binary's orbital time. If driven by accretion rate fluctuations,
    the variability could be isotropic. If dominated by relativistic Doppler modulation,
    the variability should instead be anisotropic, resembling a rotating forward-beamed
    lighthouse. We consider the infrared (IR) reverberation of either type of periodic
    emission by pc-scale circumbinary dust tori. We predict the phase and amplitude
    of IR variability as a function of the ratio of dust light crossing time to the
    source variability period, and of the torus inclination and opening angle. We
    enumerate several differences between the isotropic and anisotropic cases. Interestingly,
    for a nearly face-on binary with an inclined dust torus, the Doppler boost can
    produce IR variability without any observable optical/UV variability. Such orphan-IR
    variability would have been missed in optical searches for periodic AGNs. We apply
    our models to time-domain WISE IR data from the MBHB candidate PG 1302−102 and
    find consistency with dust reverberation by both isotropically emitting and Doppler-boosted
    sources in the shorter wavelength W1–W2 (2.8 → 5.3 μm) bands. We constrain the
    dust torus to be thin (aspect ratio ∼ 0.1), with an inner radius at 1–5 pc. More
    generally, our dust-echo models will aid in identifying new MBHB candidates, determining
    their nature and constraining the physical properties of MBHBs and their dust
    tori.

  text: We propose an observational test for gravitationally recoiling supermassive
    black holes in active galactic nuclei, based on a positive correlation between
    the velocities of black holes relative to their host galaxies, |Δv|, and their
    obscuring dust column densities, Σdust, both measured along the line of sight.
    Our findings using a set of toy models implemented to a Monte Carlo simulation
    imply that models of the galactic centre and of recoil dynamics can be tested
    by future observations of the potential Σdust–|Δv| correlation. We have also found
    that the fraction of obscured quasars decreases with |Δv|, for which the predicted
    trend can be compared to the observed fraction of type II quasars, and can further
    test combinations of models we may implement.

  text: In symmetric gravitating systems experiencing rapid mass-loss, particle orbits
    change almost instantaneously, which can lead to the development of a sharply
    contoured density profile, including singular caustics for collisionless systems.
    This framework can be used to model a variety of dynamical systems, such as accretion
    discs following a massive black hole merger and dwarf galaxies following violent
    early star formation feedback. Particle interactions in the high-density peaks
    seem a promising source of observable signatures of these mass-loss events (i.e.
    a possible EM counterpart for black hole mergers or strong gamma-ray emission
    from dark matter annihilation around young galaxies), because the interaction
    rate depends on the square of the density. We study post-mass-loss density profiles,
    both analytic and numerical, in idealized cases and present arguments and methods
    to extend to any general system. An analytic derivation is presented for particles
    on Keplerian orbits responding to a drop in the central mass. We argue that this
    case, with initially circular orbits, gives the most sharply contoured profile
    possible. We find that despite the presence of a set of singular caustics, the
    total particle interaction rate is reduced compared to the unperturbed system;
    this is a result of the overall expansion of the system dominating over the steep
    caustics. Finally, we argue that this result holds more generally, and the loss
    of central mass decreases the particle interaction rate in any physical system.

  text: 'We assess the contribution of dynamical hardening by direct three-body scattering
    interactions to the rate of stellar-mass black hole binary (BHB) mergers in galactic
    nuclei. We derive an analytic model for the single-binary encounter rate in a
    nucleus with spherical and disc components hosting a super-massive black hole
    (SMBH). We determine the total number of encounters NGW needed to harden a BHB
    to the point that inspiral due to gravitational wave emission occurs before the
    next three-body scattering event. This is done independently for both the spherical
    and disc components. Using a Monte Carlo approach, we refine our calculations
    for NGW to include gravitational wave emission between scattering events. For
    astrophysically plausible models, we find that typically NGW ≲ 10. We find two
    separate regimes for the efficient dynamical hardening of BHBs: (1) spherical
    star clusters with high central densities, low-velocity dispersions, and no significant
    Keplerian component and (2) migration traps in discs around SMBHs lacking any
    significant spherical stellar component in the vicinity of the migration trap,
    which is expected due to effective orbital inclination reduction of any spherical
    population by the disc. We also find a weak correlation between the ratio of the
    second-order velocity moment to velocity dispersion in galactic nuclei and the
    rate of BHB mergers, where this ratio is a proxy for the ratio between the rotation-
    and dispersion-supported components. Because discs enforce planar interactions
    that are efficient in hardening BHBs, particularly in migration traps, they have
    high merger rates that can contribute significantly to the rate of BHB mergers
    detected by the advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory.'

  text: 'Using few-body simulations, we investigate the evolution of supermassive
    black holes (SMBHs) in galaxies (M* = 1010–1012 M⊙ at z = 0) at 0 < z < 4. Following
    galaxy merger trees from the Millennium simulation, we model BH mergers with two
    extreme binary decay scenarios for the ‘hard binary’ stage: a full or an empty
    loss cone. These two models should bracket the true evolution, and allow us to
    separately explore the role of dynamical friction and that of multibody BH interactions
    on BH mergers. Using the computed merger rates, we infer the stochastic gravitational
    wave background (GWB). Our dynamical approach is a first attempt to study the
    dynamical evolution of multiple SMBHs in the host galaxies undergoing mergers
    with various mass ratios (10−4 < q* < 1). Our main result demonstrates that SMBH
    binaries are able to merge in both scenarios. In the empty loss cone case, we
    find that BHs merge via multibody interactions, avoiding the ‘final parsec’ problem,
    and entering the pulsar timing arrays band with substantial orbital eccentricity.
    Our full loss cone treatment, albeit more approximate, suggests that the eccentricity
    becomes even higher when GWs become dominant, leading to rapid coalescences (binary
    lifetime ≲1 Gyr). Despite the lower merger rates in the empty loss cone case,
    due to their higher mass ratios and lower redshifts, the GWB in the full/empty
    loss cone models are comparable (0.70 × 10−15 and 0.53 × 10−15 at a frequency
    of 1 yr−1, respectively). Finally, we compute the effects of high eccentricities
    on the GWB spectrum.'

  text: The Direct Collapse Black Hole (DCBH) scenario provides a solution for forming
    the massive black holes powering bright quasars observed in the early Universe.
    A prerequisite for forming a DCBH is that the formation of (much less massive)
    Population III stars be avoided - this can be achieved by destroying H2 via Lyman-Werner
    (LW) radiation (ELW = 12.6 eV). We find that two conditions must be met in the
    proto-galaxy that will host the DCBH. First, prior star formation must be delayed;
    this can be achieved with a background LW flux of JBG≳100 J21. Second, an intense
    burst of LW radiation from a neighbouring star-bursting proto-galaxy is required,
    just before the gas cloud undergoes gravitational collapse, to finally suppress
    star formation completely. We show here for the first time using high-resolution
    hydrodynamical simulations, including full radiative transfer, that this low-level
    background, combined with tight synchronisation and irradiation of a secondary
    proto-galaxy by a primary proto-galaxy, inevitably moves the secondary proto-galaxy
    onto the isothermal atomic cooling track, without the deleterious effects of either
    photo-evaporating the gas or polluting it by heavy elements. These, atomically
    cooled, massive proto-galaxies are expected to ultimately form a DCBH of mass
    104−105M⊙.

  text: Suppression of H2-cooling in early protogalaxies has important implications
    for the formation of supermassive black holes seeds, the first generation of stars,
    and the epoch of reionization. This suppression can occur via photodissociation
    of H2 (by ultraviolet Lyman-Werner [LW] photons) or by photodetachment of H-,
    a precursor in H2 formation (by infrared [IR] photons). Previous studies have
    typically adopted idealised spectra, with a blackbody or a power-law shape, in
    modeling the chemistry of metal-free protogalaxies, and utilised a single parameter,
    the critical UV flux, or Jcrit, to determine whether H2-cooling is prevented.
    This can be misleading, and that independent of the spectral shape, there is a
    critical curve in the (kLW , kH^- ) plane, where kLW and kH^- are the H2-dissocation
    rates by LW and IR photons, which determines whether a protogalaxy can cool below
    ~1000 Kelvin. We use a one-zone model to follow the chemical and thermal evolution
    of gravitationally collapsing protogalactic gas, to compute this critical curve,
    and provide an accurate analytical fit for it. We improve on previous works by
    considering a variety of more realistic Pop III or Pop II-type spectra from population
    synthesis models and perform fully frequency-dependent calculations of the H2-photodissociation
    rates for each spectrum. We compute the ratio kLW/kH^- for each spectrum, as well
    as the minimum stellar mass M_star, for various IMFs and metallicities, required
    to prevent cooling in a neighboring halo a distance d away. We provide critical
    M_star/d2 values for suppression of H2-cooling, with analytic fits, which can
    be used in future studies.

  text: Accurate forward modeling of weak lensing (WL) observables from cosmological
    parameters is necessary for upcoming galaxy surveys. Because WL probes structures
    in the non-linear regime, analytical forward modeling is very challenging, if
    not impossible. Numerical simulations of WL features rely on ray-tracing through
    the outputs of N-body simulations, which requires knowledge of the gravitational
    potential and accurate solvers for light ray trajectories. A less accurate procedure,
    based on the Born approximation, only requires knowledge of the density field,
    and can be implemented more efficiently and at a lower computational cost. In
    this work, we use simulations to show that deviations of the Born-approximated
    convergence power spectrum, skewness and kurtosis from their fully ray--traced
    counterparts are consistent with the smallest non-trivial O(Φ3) post-Born corrections
    (so-called geodesic and lens-lens terms). Our results imply a cancellation among
    the larger O(Φ4) (and higher order) terms, consistent with previous analytic work.
    We also find that cosmological parameter bias induced by the Born approximated
    power spectrum is negligible even for an LSST-like survey, once galaxy shape noise
    is considered. When considering higher order statistics such as the κ skewness
    and kurtosis, however, we find significant bias of up to 2.5σ. Using the LensTools
    software suite, we show that the Born approximation saves a factor of 4 in computing
    time with respect to the full ray-tracing in reconstructing the convergence.

  text: We utilize cosmological hydrodynamic simulations to study the formation of
    Population III (Pop III) stars in dark matter halos exposed to strong ionizing
    radiation. We simulate the formation of three halos subjected to a wide range
    of ionizing fluxes, and find that for high flux, ionization and photoheating can
    delay gas collapse and star formation up to halo masses significantly larger than
    the atomic cooling threshold. The threshold halo mass at which gas first collapses
    and cools increases with ionizing flux for intermediate values, and saturates
    at a value approximately an order of magnitude above the atomic cooling threshold
    for extremely high flux (e.g. ≈5×108 M⊙ at z≈6). This behavior can be understood
    in terms of photoheating, ionization/recombination, and Lyα cooling in the pressure-supported,
    self-shielded gas core at the center of the growing dark matter halo. We examine
    the spherically-averaged radial velocity profiles of collapsing gas and find that
    a gas mass of up to ≈106 M⊙ can reach the central regions within 3 Myr, providing
    an upper limit on the amount of massive Pop III stars that can form. The ionizing
    radiation increases this limit by a factor of a few compared to strong Lyman-Werner
    (LW) radiation alone. We conclude that the bright HeII 1640 Å emission recently
    observed from the high-redshift galaxy CR7 cannot be explained by Pop III stars
    alone. However, in some halos, a sufficient number of Pop III stars may form to
    be detectable with future telescopes such as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

  text: 'Gaseous circumbinary accretion discs provide a promising mechanism to facilitate
    the mergers of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in galactic nuclei. We measure
    the torques exerted on accreting SMBH binaries, using 2D, isothermal, moving-mesh,
    viscous hydrodynamical simulations of circumbinary accretion discs. Our computational
    domain includes the entire inner region of the circumbinary disk with the individual
    black holes (BHs) included as point masses on the grid and a sink prescription
    to model accretion onto each BH. The BHs each acquire their own well-resolved
    accretion discs ("minidiscs"). We explore a range of mass removal rates for the
    sink prescription removing gas from the central regions of the minidiscs. We find
    that the torque exerted on the binary is primarily gravitational, and dominated
    by the gas orbiting close behind and ahead of the individual BHs. The torques
    from the distorted circumbinary disc farther out and from the direct accretion
    of angular momentum are subdominant. The torques are sensitive to the sink prescription:
    slower sinks result in more gas accumulating near the BHs and more negative torques,
    driving the binary to merger more rapidly. For faster sinks, the torques are less
    negative and eventually turn positive (for unphysically fast sinks). When the
    minidiscs are modeled as standard alpha discs, our results are insensitive to
    the choice of sink radius. Scaling the simulations to a binary orbital period
    tbin = 1yr and background disc accretion rate Mdot = 0.3MEdd in Eddington units,
    the binary inspirals on a timescale of 3X10^6 years, irrespective of the SMBH
    masses. For binaries with total mass <10^7Msun, this is shorter than the inspiral
    time due to gravitational wave (GW) emission alone, implying that gas discs will
    have a significant impact on the SMBH binary population and can affect the GW
    signal for Pulsar Timing Arrays.'

  text: The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, LIGO, found direct
    evidence for double black hole binaries emitting gravitational waves. Galactic
    nuclei are expected to harbor the densest population of stellar-mass black holes.
    A significant fraction (∼30%) of these black holes can reside in binaries. We
    examine the fate of the black hole binaries in active galactic nuclei, which get
    trapped in the inner region of the accretion disk around the central supermassive
    black hole. We show that binary black holes can migrate into and then rapidly
    merge within the disk well within a Salpeter time. The binaries may also accrete
    a significant amount of gas from the disk, well above the Eddington rate. This
    could lead to detectable X-ray or gamma-ray emission, but would require hyper-Eddington
    accretion with a few percent radiative efficiency, comparable to thin disks. We
    discuss implications for gravitational wave observations and black hole population
    studies. We estimate that Advanced LIGO may detect ∼20 such, gas-induced binary
    mergers per year.

  text: The gravitational waves (GWs) from a binary black hole (BBH) with masses between
    10^4 and 10^7 Msun can be detected with the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna
    (LISA) once their orbital frequency exceeds 10^-4 - 10^-5 Hz. The binary separation
    at this stage is approximately a=100 R_g (gravitational radius), and the orbital
    speed is of order v/c=0.1. We argue that at this stage, the binary will be producing
    bright electromagnetic (EM) radiation via gas bound to the individual BHs. Both
    BHs will have their own photospheres in X-ray and possibly also in optical bands.
    Relativistic Doppler modulations and lensing effects will inevitably imprint periodic
    variability in the EM light-curve, tracking the phase of the orbital motion, and
    serving as a template for the GW inspiral waveform. Advanced localization of the
    source by LISA weeks to months prior to merger will enable a measurement of this
    EM chirp by wide-field X-ray or optical instruments. A comparison of the phases
    of the GW and EM chirp signals will help break degeneracies between system parameters,
    and probe a fractional difference difference Delta v in the propagation speed
    of photons and gravitons as low as Delta v/c = O(10^-17).

  text: We explore the sensitivity of weak lensing observables to the expansion history
    of the universe and to the growth of cosmic structures, as well as the relative
    contribution of both effects to constraining cosmological parameters. We utilize
    ray-tracing dark-matter-only N-body simulations and validate our technique by
    comparing our results for the convergence power spectrum with analytic results
    from past studies. We then extend our analysis to non-Gaussian observables which
    cannot be easily treated analytically. We study the convergence (equilateral)
    bispectrum and two topological observables, lensing peaks and Minkowski functionals,
    focusing on their sensitivity to the matter density Ωm and the dark energy equation
    of state w. We find that a cancelation between the geometry and growth effects
    is a common feature for all observables, and exists at the map level. It weakens
    the overall sensitivity by up to a factor of 3 and 1.5 for w and Ωm, respectively,
    with the bispectrum worst affected. However, combining geometry and growth information
    alleviates the degeneracy between Ωm and w from either effect alone. As a result,
    the magnitude of marginalized errors remain similar to those obtained from growth-only
    effects, but with the correlation between the two parameters switching sign. These
    results shed light on the origin of cosmology-sensitivity of non-Gaussian statistics,
    and should be useful in optimizing combinations of observables.

  text: The recent discovery of gravitational waves from stellar-mass binary black
    hole mergers by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory opened
    the door to alternative probes of stellar and galactic evolution, cosmology and
    fundamental physics. Probing the origin of binary black hole mergers will be difficult
    due to the expected lack of electromagnetic emission and limited localization
    accuracy. Associations with rare host galaxy types—such as active galactic nuclei—can
    nevertheless be identified statistically through spatial correlation. Here we
    establish the feasibility of statistically proving the connection between binary
    black hole mergers and active galactic nuclei as hosts, even if only a sub-population
    of mergers originate from active galactic nuclei. Our results are the demonstration
    that the limited localization of gravitational waves, previously written off as
    not useful to distinguish progenitor channels, can in fact contribute key information,
    broadening the range of astrophysical questions probed by binary black hole observations.

  text: Multi-frequency gravitational wave (GW) observations are useful probes of
    the formation processes of coalescing stellar-mass binary black holes (BBHs).
    We discuss the phase drift in the GW inspiral waveform of the merging BBH caused
    by its center-of-mass acceleration. The acceleration strongly depends on the location
    where a BBH forms within a galaxy, allowing observations of the early inspiral
    phase of LIGO-like BBH mergers by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA)
    to test the formation mechanism. In particular, BBHs formed in dense nuclear star
    clusters or via compact accretion disks around a nuclear supermassive black hole
    in active galactic nuclei would suffer strong acceleration, and produce large
    phase drifts measurable by LISA. The host galaxies of the coalescing BBHs in these
    scenarios can also be uniquely identified in the LISA error volume, without electromagnetic
    counterparts. A non-detection of phase drifts would rule out or constrain the
    contribution of the nuclear formation channels to the stellar-mass BBH population.

  text: Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of an individual genotype to alter aspects
    of its phenotype depending on the current environment. It is central to the persistence,
    resistance and resilience of populations facing variation in physical or biological
    factors. Genetic variation in plasticity is pervasive, which suggests its local
    adaptation is plausible. Existing studies on the adaptation of plasticity typically
    focus on single traits and a few populations, while theory about interactions
    among genes (for example, pleiotropy) suggests that a multi-trait, landscape scale
    (for example, multiple populations) perspective is required. We present data from
    a landscape scale, replicated, multi-trait experiment using a classic predator–prey
    system centred on the water flea Daphnia pulex. We find predator regime-driven
    differences in genetic variation of multivariate plasticity. These differences
    are associated with strong divergent selection linked to a predation regime. Our
    findings are evidence for local adaptation of plasticity, suggesting that responses
    of populations to environmental variation depend on the conditions in which they
    evolved in the past.
