Kavli Affiliate: Emil J. Martinec | First 5 Authors: Bruno Balthazar, Amit Giveon, David Kutasov, Emil J. Martinec, | Summary: We propose a new $AdS_3/CFT_2$ duality, in which the bulk string theory has a target spacetime $AdS_3$ times a squashed three-sphere $S^3_flat$, and the dual $CFT_2$ is a symmetric product of sigma models on $R_phitimes […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eric Charles | First 5 Authors: Celine Armand, Eric Charles, Mattia di Mauro, Chiara Giuri, J. Patrick Harding | Summary: Cosmological and astrophysical observations suggest that 85% of the total matter of the Universe is made of Dark Matter (DM). However, its nature remains one of the most challenging and fundamental open questions […]
Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Herman L. Marshall, Yang Chen, Jeremy J. Drake, Matteo Guainazzi, Vinay L. Kashyap | Summary: We describe a process for cross-calibrating the effective areas of X-ray telescopes that observe common targets. The targets are not assumed to be "standard candles" in the classic sense, in that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert M. Wald | First 5 Authors: Daine L. Danielson, Gautam Satishchandran, Robert M. Wald, Robert J. Weinbaum, | Summary: Recently, Bl’azquez-Salcedo, Knoll, and Radu (BSKR) have given a class of static, spherically symmetric, traversable wormhole spacetimes with Dirac and Maxwell fields. The BSKR wormholes are obtained by joining a classical solution to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hiroaki Aihara | Summary:The paper presents the third data release of Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC-SSP), a wide-field multi-band imaging survey with the Subaru 8.2m telescope. HSC-SSP has three survey layers (Wide, Deep, and UltraDeep) with different area coverages and depths, designed to address a wide array of astrophysical questions. This third […]

Rykoff | First 5 Authors: Hiroaki Aihara, Yusra AlSayyad, Makoto Ando, Robert Armstrong, James Bosch | Summary: The paper presents the third data release of Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC-SSP), a wide-field multi-band imaging survey with the Subaru 8.2m telescope. HSC-SSP has three survey layers (Wide, Deep, and UltraDeep) with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Faraon | First 5 Authors: Andrei Ruskuc, Chun-Ju Wu, Jake Rochman, Joonhee Choi, Andrei Faraon | Summary: Solid-state nuclear spins surrounding individual, optically addressable qubits provide a crucial resource for quantum networks, computation and simulation. While hosts with sparse nuclear spin baths are typically chosen to mitigate qubit decoherence, developing coherent quantum […]
Kavli Affiliate: J. Todd Hoeksema | Summary:Both NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and the JAXA/NASA Hinode mission include spectropolarimetric instruments designed to measure the photospheric magnetic field. SDO’s Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) emphasizes full-disk high-cadence and good spatial resolution data acquisition while Hinode’s Solar Optical Telescope Spectro-Polarimeter (SOT-SP) focuses on high spatial resolution and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Debdeep Jena | First 5 Authors: Megan Stokey, Rafal Korlacki, Matthew Hilfiker, Sean Knight, Steffen Richter | Summary: We determine the anisotropic dielectric functions of rhombohedral $alpha$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ by far-infrared and infrared generalized spectroscopic ellipsometry and derive all transverse optical and longitudinal optical phonon mode frequencies and broadening parameters. We also determine the high […]
