Gliders for passive acoustic monitoring of the oceanic environment

Ocean gliders are quiet, buoyancy-driven, long-endurance, profiling autonomous platforms.Gliders therefore possess unique advantages as platforms for Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) of the marine environment.In this paper, we review available glider platforms and passive acoustic monitoring systems, and explore current and potential uses of passi

Horizon quantum mechanics of collapsing shells

Abstract We study the probability that a horizon appears when concentric shells of matter collide, by computing the horizon wave-function of the system.We mostly consider the collision of two ultra-relativistic shells, both shrinking and expanding, at the moment their radii are equal, and find a probability that the pink luster dust edible system i
