The Cosmic Coalescence Rates for Double Neutron Star Binaries
... in only 85 Myr, a factor of 3.5 shorter than the merger time of PSR B1913⫹16. This immediately hints toward a possible significant increase of the coalescence rate (Burgay et al. 2003). Second, a novel statistical method has been developed by Kim, Kalogera, & Lorimer (2003, hereafter KKL) that autom ...

Chapter 2: A Practical Introduction to Radio Physics
... Plastics and similar materials generally do not absorb a lot of radio energybut this varies depending on the frequency and type of material. Before you build a component from plastic (e.g. weather protection for a radio device and its antennas), it is always a good idea to measure and verify that th ...
