Cover Story: Gravitational waves offer new insights into astrophysics, cosmology, and fundamental physics. Measurements of stellar-mass binaries and neutron star mergers constrain possible new physics such as a graviton mass and Lorentz violation. Astronomical measurements of the neutron star mergers induced by the emission of gravitational waves provide evidence for the production of heavy elements, possibly including some essential for human life. The gravitational waves observed by Pulsar Timing Arrays may have been due to supermassive black hole binaries or novel cosmological scenarios such as cosmic strings or phase transitions in the early Universe. The answer to the question posed in the title may come from higher-frequency measurements by LISA and atom interferometers. View this paper

The rapid neutron-capture process (r-process) is responsible for the creation of roughly half of the elements heavier than iron, including precious metals like silver, gold, and platinum, as well as radioactive elements such as thorium and uranium. D...

We continue the analysis of the gauge-invariant decomposition of amplitudes in spontaneously broken massive gauge theories by performing the characterization of separately gauge-invariant subsectors for amplitudes involving trilinear interaction vert...

The galaxy NGC 7469 is a bright infrared source with an active galactic nucleus (AGN) and an intense star-forming region with a radius of approximately 500 parsecs, where the star formation rate is estimated to be 20–50 M⊙yr−1. This...

The sudden increase of fluxes of quasi-trapped energetic electrons under the Earth’s radiation belt (ERB) has remained a puzzling phenomenon for decades. It is known as enhancements of forbidden energetic electrons (FEEs). The FEE enhancements...

As neutrino experiments enter the precision era, it is desirable to identify any deviation between data and theoretical predictions and to provide possible models as explanation. Particularly useful is the description in terms of non-standard interac...

By consideration of the compact object HESS J1731-347 as a hybrid twin compact star, i.e., a more compact star than its hadronic twin of the same mass, its stellar properties are derived. In addition to showing that the properties of compact stars in...

The continual production of long wavelength gravitons during primordial inflation endows graviton loop corrections with secular growth factors. During a prolonged period of inflation, these factors eventually overwhelm the small loop-counting paramet...

Large-scale magnetic flux ropes (MFRs) usually become visible during an eruption and are the core structures of coronal mass ejections, but the nature of MFRs is still a mystery. Here, we identify a large transequatorial MFR that spans across NOAA 13...
