18:06 <galois> [arXiv] “The forest as a neutrino detector” Steven Prohira — «The primary challenge in detecting ultrahigh energy (UHE) neutrinos with energies exceeding $10^{16}$ eV is to instrument a large enough volume to detect the extremely low flux, which falls as $\sim E^{-2}$. We explore in this article the feasibility of using the forest as a detector. Trees have been shown to be efficient broadband antennas, and may, without damage to…»

Horch et al. — «M dwarfs are ubiquitous in our galaxy, and the rate at which they host stellar companions, and the properties of these companions, provides a window into the formation and evolution of the star(s), and of any planets that they may host. The…»
