Spontaneous tilt of single-clamped thermal elastic sheets

Posted by klaurent UCSB

Kavli Affiliate: Mark J. Bowick | First 5 Authors: Zhitao Chen, Duanduan Wan, Mark J. Bowick, , | Summary: Very thin elastic sheets, even at zero temperature, exhibit nonlinear elastic response by virtue of their dominant bending modes. Their behavior is even richer at finite temperature. Here we use molecular dynamics (MD) to study the […]

X-ray polarimetry of the Crab nebula with PolarLight: polarization recovery after the glitch and a secular position angle variation

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Xiangyun Long, Hua Feng, Hong Li, Jiahuan Zhu, Qiong Wu | Summary: We report follow-up observations of the Crab nebula with the PolarLight X-ray polarimeter, which revealed a possible variation in polarization associated with a pulsar glitch in 2019. The new observations confirm that the polarization has […]
