Pulse-profile Modeling and Spin–Orbit Alignment in a Suzaku Sample of Accreting X-Ray Binary Pulsars by Silas G. T. Laycock, Rigel C. Cappallo, Pragati Pradhan, Dimitris M. Christodoulou, Biswajit Paul

“…The implications of our study are as follows: (a) apparently, accretion torques have had time to erase spin–orbit misalignment caused by supernova kicks in two-thirds of the systems; (b) many X-ray binary pulsars have dominant dipolar surface magnetic fields, in contrast to the recently reported exotic configurations in millisecond pulsars; and (c) if the binary inclinations can be determined by pulse-profile modeling, even for a subset of the ∼200 known X-ray binary pulsars, most of which orbital inclinations are as yet poorly constrained, it raises the prospect of tightening dramatically ongoing neutron-star mass determinations. This is because masses in binary systems overwhelmingly come from an orbital-mechanics formulation (Kepler’s third law), in which the dominant source of uncertainty is the inclination of the orbital plane.…”

Molecular mechanisms induced by phase modifiers used in hydrometallurgy: consequences on transfer efficiency and process safety by El Maangar, Asmae, Prévost, Sylvain, Dourdain, Sandrine, Zemb, Thomas

“…The dominant molecular effect can be identified and quantified by combining surface tension and neutron scattering experiments. In the case of phase modifiers that are hydrotropes, the co-solvent or co-surfactant effect is dominant. …”

Stability of compact stars in a uniform density background cloud by Ksh. Newton Singh, S. K. Maurya, A. Errehymy, O. Donmez, K. Myrzakulov, T. T. Smitha

“…Abstract We are discussing a scenario where a compact star (neutron star, NS) is embedded in a thin, uniform density background cloud (a remnant cloud after a supernova or a cloud generated from the late stages of a star e.g., a planetary nebula or asymptotic red giant phases) and its effect on the stability of the compact star. …”
