Journal Article
Martinelli, M., Martins, C., Nesseris, S., Sapone, D., Tutusaus, I., Avgoustidis, A., …Zacchei, A. (2020). Euclid: Forecast constraints on the cosmic distance duality relation with complementary external probes. Astronomy and Astrophysics, 644, Article A80. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202039078

In metric theories of gravity with photon number conservation, the luminosity and angular diameter distances are related via the Etherington relation, also known as the distance-duality relation (DDR). A violation of this relation would rule out the... Read More about Euclid: Forecast constraints on the cosmic distance duality relation with complementary external probes.

Spin-Induced Black Hole Spontaneous Scalarization (2020)
Journal Article
Dima, A., Barausse, E., Franchini, N., & Sotiriou, T. P. (2020). Spin-Induced Black Hole Spontaneous Scalarization. Physical Review Letters, 125(23), Article 231101. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.125.231101

We study scalar fields in a black hole background and show that, when the scalar is suitably coupled to curvature, rapid rotation can induce a tachyonic instability. This instability, which is the hallmark of spontaneous scalarization in the lineariz... Read More about Spin-Induced Black Hole Spontaneous Scalarization.

We describe the design, construction, and operation of a LEGO TM model of a dynamic force microscope, using magnetic forces as an analog of interatomic interactions. The "macroscope" provides key insights into the operating principles of frequency mo... Read More about A LEGO TM Dynamic Force "Macroscope".

The halo of M 105 and its group environment as traced by planetary nebula populations: I. Wide-field photometric survey of planetary nebulae in the Leo I group (2020)
Journal Article
Hartke, J., Arnaboldi, M., Gerhard, O., Coccato, L., Pulsoni, C., Freeman, K. C., …Kuijken, K. (2020). The halo of M 105 and its group environment as traced by planetary nebula populations: I. Wide-field photometric survey of planetary nebulae in the Leo I group. Astronomy and Astrophysics, 642, Article A46. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202038009

Context. M 105 (NGC 3379) is an early-type galaxy in the Leo I group. The Leo I group is the nearest group that contains all main galaxy types and can thus be used as a benchmark to study the properties of the intra-group light (IGL) in low-mass grou...

Formation of S0s in extreme environments II: the star-formation histories of bulges, discs and lenses. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 500(3), 4193-4212. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staa2838

Different processes have been proposed to explain the formation of S0s, including mergers, disc instabilities, and quenched spirals. These processes are expected to dominate in different environments, and thus leave characteristic footprints in the k...

NeuroImage: Clinical, 28, Article 102377. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nicl.2020.102377

Triple network dysfunction theory of schizophrenia postulates that the interaction between the default-mode and the fronto-parietal executive network is disrupted by aberrant salience signals from the right anterior insula (rAI). To date, it is not c... Read More about Effective connectivity of the right anterior insula in schizophrenia: the salience network and task-negative to task-positive transition.
