Possible Time Correlation Between Jet Ejection and Mass Accretion for RW Aur A

Kavli Affiliate: Moritz Guenther | First 5 Authors: Michihiro Takami, Tracy L. Beck, P. Christian Schneider, Hans Moritz Guenther, Marc White | Summary: For the active T-Taur star RW Aur A we have performed long-term (~10 yr) monitoring observations of (1) jet imaging in the [Fe II] 1.644-micron emission line using Gemini-NIFS and VLT-SINFONI; (2) […]

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Constraining Baryonic Physics in the Universe

Kavli Affiliate: Aaron Roodman | First 5 Authors: Hung-Jin Huang, Tim Eifler, Rachel Mandelbaum, Gary M. Bernstein, Anqi Chen | Summary: Measurements of large-scale structure are interpreted using theoretical predictions for the matter distribution, including potential impacts of baryonic physics. We constrain the feedback strength of baryons jointly with cosmology using weak lensing and galaxy […]

Designing angle-independent structural colors using Monte Carlo simulations of multiple scattering

Kavli Affiliate: Joanna Aizenberg | First 5 Authors: Victoria Hwang, Anna B. Stephenson, Solomon Barkley, Soeren Brandt, Ming Xiao | Summary: Disordered nanostructures with correlations on the scale of visible wavelengths can show angle-independent structural colors. These materials could replace dyes in some applications because the color is tunable and resists photobleaching. However, designing nanostructures […]

Amplify-and-Forward Relaying for Hierarchical Over-the-Air Computation

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Feng Wang, Jie Xu, Vincent K. N. Lau, Shuguang Cui, | Summary: This paper studies a hierarchical over-the-air computation (AirComp) network over a large area, in which multiple relays are exploited to facilitate data aggregation from massive WDs. We present a two-phase amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying protocol. In […]

The thermal-radiative wind in the neutron star low mass X-ray binary GX 13+1

Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Ryota Tomaru, Chris Done, Ken Ohsuga, Hirokazu Odaka, Tadayuki Takahashi | Summary: We fit the observed high ionisation X-ray absorption lines in the neutron star binary GX13+1 with a full simulation of a thermal-radiative wind. This uses a radiation hydrodynamic code coupled to Monte Carlo radiation transfer […]

Structure of neutron stars in massive scalar-tensor gravity

Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Sperhake | First 5 Authors: Roxana Rosca-Mead, Christopher J. Moore, Ulrich Sperhake, Michalis Agathos, Davide Gerosa | Summary: We compute families of spherically symmetric neutron-star models in two-derivative scalar-tensor theories of gravity with a massive scalar field. The numerical approach we present allows us to compute the resulting spacetimes out to infinite […]

Covariance of the redshift-space matter power spectrum after reconstruction

Kavli Affiliate: Chiaki Hikage | First 5 Authors: Chiaki Hikage, Ryuichi Takahashi, Kazuya Koyama, , | Summary: We explore the covariance of redshift-space matter power spectra after a standard density-field reconstruction. We derive perturbative formula of the covariance at the tree-level order and find that the amplitude of the off-diagonal components from the trispectrum decreases […]

Merging stellar and intermediate-mass black holes in dense clusters: implications for LIGO, LISA and the next generation of gravitational wave detectors

Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Manuel Arca-Sedda, Pau Amaro-Seoane, Xian Chen, , | Summary: We study the formation of intermediate-mass ratio inspirals (IMRIs) triggered by the interactions between two stellar black holes (BHs) and an intermediate-mass BH (IMBH) inhabiting the centre of a dense star cluster. We exploit $N$-body models varying the […]
