Black Hole Accretion and Spin-up through Stellar Collisions in Dense Star Clusters by Fulya Kıroğlu, Kyle Kremer, Sylvia Biscoveanu, Elena González Prieto, Frederic A. Rasio

“…If all stellar-mass black holes are initially nonspinning, we find that up to 40% of merging binary black holes may have components with dimensionless spin parameter χ  ≳ 0.2 because of prior stellar collisions, while typically about 10% have spins near χ  = 0.7 from prior black hole mergers. We demonstrate that young star clusters are especially important environments, as they can produce collisions of black holes with very massive stars, allowing for significant spin-up of the black holes through accretion. …”

Precise and interpretable neural networks reveal epigenetic signatures of aging across youth in health and disease by David Martínez-Enguita, Thomas Hillerton, Julia Åkesson, Daniel Kling, Maria Lerm, Mika Gustafsson

“…Additionally, we developed a suite of interpretable NCAE-Age neural network classifiers tailored for adolescence and young adulthood. These clocks can accurately classify individuals at critical developmental ages in youth (AUROC = 0.953, 0.972, and 0.927, for 15, 18, and 21 years) and capture fine-grained, single-year DNAm signatures of aging that are enriched in biological processes associated with anatomic and neuronal development, immunoregulation, and metabolism. …”
