Flocks, herds, and schools: A quantitative theory of flocking

We present a quantitative continuum theory of ``flocking'': the collective\ncoherent motion of large numbers of self-propelled organisms. Our model\npredicts the existence of an...

We propose a nonequilibrium continuum dynamical model for the collective motion of large groups of biological organisms (e.g., flocks of birds, slime molds, etc.) Our model beco...

Predictions for the rates of compact binary coalescences observable by ground-based gravitational-wave detectors

We present an up-to-date, comprehensive summary of the rates for all types of compact binary coalescence sources detectable by the initial and advanced versions of the ground-ba...
