Kavli Affiliate: Brian Nord | First 5 Authors: Luisa Lucie-Smith, Hiranya V. Peiris, Andrew Pontzen, Brian Nord, Jeyan Thiyagalingam | Summary: While the evolution of linear initial conditions present in the early universe into extended halos of dark matter at late times can be computed using cosmological simulations, a theoretical understanding of this complex process […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Emma Shen, Dominic Anstey, Eloy de Lera Acedo, Anastasia Fialkov, Will Handley | Summary: We modelled the two major layer of Earth’s ionosphere, the F-layer and the D-layer, by a simplified spatial model with temporal variance to study the chromatic ionospheric effects on global 21-cm observations. From […]
Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Kawasaki, Shusuke Ueda, , , | Summary: Affleck-Dine inflation is a recently proposed model in which a single complex scalar field, nonminimally coupled to gravity, drives inflation and simultaneously generates the baryon asymmetry of universe via Affleck-Dine mechanism. In this paper we investigate the supersymmetric implementation […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shinichiro Takeda | First 5 Authors: Kouichi Hagino, Hirokazu Odaka, Goro Sato, Tamotsu Sato, Hiromasa Suzuki | Summary: Understanding and reducing the in-orbit instrumental backgrounds are essential to achieving high sensitivity in hard X-ray astronomical observations. The observational data of the Hard X-ray Imager (HXI) on board the Hitomi satellite provides useful information […]

Kavli Affiliate: E. P. S. Shellard | First 5 Authors: C. J. A. P. Martins, Patrick Peter, I. Yu. Rybak, E. P. S. Shellard, | Summary: We develop an analytic model to quantitatively describe the evolution of superconducting cosmic string networks. Specifically, we extend the velocity-dependent one-scale (VOS) model to incorporate arbitrary currents and charges […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Masamichi Zaizen, Shunsaku Horiuchi, Tomoya Takiwaki, Kei Kotake, Takashi Yoshida | Summary: We investigate the multi-azimuthal angle (MAA) effect on collective neutrino oscillation by considering the three-dimensional neutrino momentum distribution in a realistic electron-capture supernova model with an $8.8 M_{odot}$ progenitor. We find that the MAA effect […]
Kavli Affiliate: C. M. Ignarra | First 5 Authors: LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo, X. Bai | Summary: This paper presents a novel technique for mitigating electrode backgrounds that limit the sensitivity of searches for low-mass dark matter (DM) using xenon time projection chambers. In the LUX detector, signatures of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Rainer Spurzem | First 5 Authors: Shiyan Zhong, Kimitake Hayasaki, Shuo Li, Peter Berczik, Rainer Spurzem | Summary: Tidal disruption events (TDEs) provide a clue to the properties of a central supermassive black hole (SMBH) and an accretion disk around it, and to the stellar density and velocity distributions in the nuclear star […]
Kavli Affiliate: Rainer Spurzem | First 5 Authors: Shiyan Zhong, Kimitake Hayasaki, Shuo Li, Peter Berczik, Rainer Spurzem | Summary: Tidal disruption events (TDEs) probe properties of supermassive black holes (SMBHs), their accretion disks, and the surrounding nuclear stellar cluster. Light curves of TDEs are related to orbital properties of stars falling SMBHs. We study […]
