Mass Transfer in Binaries:Planets Around Stars and Stars Around Supermassive Black Holes
More information Time 11:15 - 12:30Location Edna and K.B. Weissman Building of Physical SciencesLecturer Reem Sari
HUJIOrganizer Faculty of PhysicsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about Mass transfer between members of a binary is a common and we...» Mass transfer between members of a binary is a common and well studies situation. As members of a binary become closer to each other, mass may leak from one object due to the strong tidal forces from the other. Usually, the leaking mass flows towards the companion, but we show that for main sequence stars that orbit the supermassive black hole in the galactic center and emit gravitational waves mass may also leak away from it. We show that the mass transfer affects the evolution of the gravitational wave emission in a way that reflects internal properties of the star. This may be relevant to observations of the planned LISA mission. On another front, tides may lead to orbital decay of planets which are close enough to their stars. Mass transfer will occur and we discuss its observational consequences in view of data from the Kepler mission. -

Starvation Dynamics of a Dumb and a Greedy Forager
More information Time 14:15 - 14:15Location Edna and K.B. Weissman Building of Physical SciencesLecturer Sid Redner, Santa Fe Institute Organizer Department of Chemical Research SupportContact Abstract Show full text abstract about What is the fate of a forager that depletes its environment ...» What is the fate of a forager that depletes its environment as it wanders? We investigate this question within the "starving" random walk model, in which the forager starves when it travels S steps without eating. The forager consumes food whenever it is found and becomes fully sated. However, when the forager lands on an empty site, it moves one time unit closer to starvation. We determine the forager lifetime, analytically in one dimension and numerically in higher dimensions. In two dimensions, long-lived walks explore a highly ramified region so as to remain close to food.
We also investigate the role of greed, in which the forager preferentially moves towards food when faced with a choice of hopping to food or to an empty site. Paradoxically, the forager lifetime can have a non-monotonic dependence on greed, with a different sense to the non-monotonicity in one and in two dimensions.
