The Effects of Self-Shadowing by a Puffed up Inner Rim in Scattered Light Images of Protoplanetary Disks

Posted by Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Ruobing Dong | First 5 Authors: Ruobing Dong, , , , | Summary: We explore whether protoplanetary disks with self-shadowing from puffed up inner rims exhibit observable features in scattered light images. We use both self-consistent hydrostatic equilibrium calculations and parameterized models to produce the vertically puffed up inner rims. We find that, […]

Nanophotonic coherent light-matter interfaces based on rare-earth-doped crystals

Posted by Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Faraon | First 5 Authors: Tian Zhong, Jonathan M. Kindem, Evan Miyazono, Andrei Faraon, | Summary: Quantum light-matter interfaces (QLMIs) connecting stationary qubits to photons will enable optical networks for quantum communications, precise global time keeping, photon switching, and studies of fundamental physics. Rare-earth-ion (REI) doped crystals are state-of-the-art materials for optical […]
