X-ray flares from the stellar tidal disruption by a candidate supermassive black hole binary

Kavli Affiliate: Fukun Liu | First 5 Authors: Xinwen Shu, Wenjie Zhang, Shuo Li, Ning Jiang, Liming Dou | Summary: Optical transient surveys have led to the discovery of dozens of stellar tidal disruption events (TDEs) by massive black hole in the centers of galaxies. Despite extensive searches, X-ray follow-up observations have produced no or […]

Full parity phase diagram of a proximitized nanowire island

Kavli Affiliate: L. P. Kouwenhoven | First 5 Authors: J. Shen, G. W. Winkler, F. Borsoi, S. Heedt, V. Levajac | Summary: We measure the charge periodicity of Coulomb blockade conductance oscillations of a hybrid InSb-Al island as a function of gate voltage and parallel magnetic field. The periodicity changes from $2e$ to $1e$ at […]

Discovery of A candidate Hypervelocity star originated from the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal galaxy

Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Yang Huang, Qingzheng Li, Huawei Zhang, Xinyi Li, Weixiang Sun | Summary: In this letter, we report the discovery of an intriguing HVS (J1443+1453) candidate that is probably from the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal galaxy (Sgr dSph). The star is an old and very metal-poor low-mass main-sequence turn-off […]
