Dark Matter Interpretation of the Fermi-LAT Observations Toward the Outer Halo of M31

Kavli Affiliate: Igor Moskalenko | First 5 Authors: Chris Karwin, Simona Murgia, Igor Moskalenko, Sean Fillingham, Anne-Katherine Burns | Summary: An excess $gamma$-ray signal toward the outer halo of M31 has recently been reported. Although other explanations are plausible, the possibility that it arises from dark matter (DM) is valid. In this work we interpret […]

EFT Asymptotics: the Growth of Operator Degeneracy

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Melia | First 5 Authors: Tom Melia, Sridip Pal, , , | Summary: We establish formulae for the asymptotic growth (with respect to the scaling dimension) of the number of operators in effective field theory, or equivalently the number of $S$-matrix elements, in arbitrary spacetime dimensions and with generic field content. This […]

Droplet-Edge Operators in Nonrelativistic Conformal Field Theories

Kavli Affiliate: Simeon Hellerman | Summary:We consider the large-charge expansion of the charged ground state of a Schrodinger-invariant, nonrelativistic conformal field theory in a harmonic trap, in general dimension d. In the existing literature, the energy in the trap has been computed to next-to-leading order (NLO) at large charge Q, which comes from the classical […]

One-dimensional model for deconfined criticality with $mathbb{Z}_3 times mathbb{Z}_3$ symmetry

Kavli Affiliate: Shenghan Jiang | First 5 Authors: Brenden Roberts, Shenghan Jiang, Olexei I. Motrunich, , | Summary: We continue recent efforts to discover examples of deconfined quantum criticality in one-dimensional models. In this work we investigate the transition between a $mathbb{Z}_3$ ferromagnet and a phase with valence bond solid (VBS) order in a spin […]

Absorption-line Environments of High-redshift BOSS Quasars

Kavli Affiliate: Donald York | First 5 Authors: Chen Chen, Fred Hamann, Bo Ma, Britt Lundgren, Donald York | Summary: The early stage of massive galaxy evolution often involves outflows driven by a starburst or a central quasar plus cold mode accretion (infall), which adds to the mass build-up in the galaxies. To study the […]

Motivations and Preliminary Design for Mid-Air Deployment of a Science Rotorcraft on Mars

Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Jeff Delaune, Jacob Izraelevitz, Larry A. Young, William Rapin, Evgeniy Sklyanskiy | Summary: Mid-Air Deployment (MAD) of a rotorcraft during Entry, Descent and Landing (EDL) on Mars eliminates the need to carry a propulsion or airbag landing system. This reduces the total mass inside the aeroshell by […]

Two Candidate High-Redshift X-ray Jets Without Coincident Radio Jets

Kavli Affiliate: Herman Marshall | First 5 Authors: Daniel Schwartz, Aneta Siemiginowska, Brad Snios, Diana Worrall, Mark Birkinshaw | Summary: We report the detection of extended X-ray emission from two high-redshift radio quasars. These quasars, J1405+0415 at $z$=3.208 and J1610+1811 at $z$=3.118, were observed in a Chandra snapshot survey selected from a complete sample of […]

The LSST DESC DC2 Simulated Sky Survey

Kavli Affiliate: Steven Kahn | Summary:We describe the simulated sky survey underlying the second data challenge (DC2) carried out in preparation for analysis of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) by the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration (LSST DESC). Significant connections across multiple science domains will be a hallmark […]
