Mn-doping induced ferromagnetism and enhanced superconductivity in Bi_4-x Mn_x O_4 S_3 (0.075 < = x < = 0.15)

Kavli Affiliate: N. C. Yeh | First 5 Authors: Zhenjie Feng, Xunqing Yin, Yiming Cao, Xianglian Peng, Tian Gao | Summary: We demonstrate that Mn-doping in the layered sulfides Bi_4O_4S_3 leads to stable Bi_4-x Mn_x O_4 S_3 compounds that exhibit both long-range ferromagnetism and enhanced superconductivity for 0.075 < = x < = 0.15, with […]

Manifest Duality for Partially Massless Higher Spins

Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Kurt Hinterbichler, Austin Joyce, , , | Summary: In four dimensions, partially massless fields of all spins and depths possess a duality invariance akin to electric-magnetic duality. We construct metric-like gauge invariant curvature tensors for partially massless fields of all integer spins and depths, and show how […]

Visible camera cryostat design and performance for the SuMIRe Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS)

Kavli Affiliate: Naoyuki Tamura | First 5 Authors: Stephen A. Smee, James E. Gunn, Mirek Golebiowski, Stephen C. Hope, Fabrice Madec | Summary: We describe the design and performance of the SuMIRe Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) visible camera cryostats. SuMIRe PFS is a massively multi-plexed ground-based spectrograph consisting of four identical spectrograph modules, each receiving […]

An Integrated System at the Bleien Observatory for Mapping the Galaxy

Kavli Affiliate: Chihway Chang | First 5 Authors: Chihway Chang, Christian Monstein, Joel Akeret, Sebastian Seehars, Alexandre Refregier | Summary: We describe the design and performance of the hardware system at the Bleien Observatory. The system is designed to deliver a map of the Galaxy for studying the foreground contamination of low-redshift (z=0.13–0.43) H$_{rm I}$ […]

Hitomi constraints on the 3.5 keV line in the Perseus galaxy cluster

Kavli Affiliate: Grzegorz M. Madejski | First 5 Authors: Hitomi Collaboration, Felix A. Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu, Fumie Akimoto, Steven W. Allen | Summary: High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy with Hitomi was expected to resolve the origin of the faint unidentified E=3.5 keV emission line reported in several low-resolution studies of various massive systems, such as galaxies and […]

Repetitive Patterns in Rapid Optical Variations in the Nearby Black-hole Binary V404 Cygni

Kavli Affiliate: Stuart L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Mariko Kimura, Keisuke Isogai, Taichi Kato, Yoshihiro Ueda, Satoshi Nakahira | Summary: How black holes accrete surrounding matter is a fundamental, yet unsolved question in astrophysics. It is generally believed that matter is absorbed into black holes via accretion disks, the state of which depends primarily […]
