Probing Early Super-massive Black Hole Growth and Quasar Evolution with Near-infrared Spectroscopy of 37 Reionization-era Quasars at 6.3 < z <= 7.64

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Linhua Jiang | First 5 Authors: Jinyi Yang, Feige Wang, Xiaohui Fan, Aaron J. Barth, Joseph F. Hennawi | Summary: We report the results of near-infrared spectroscopic observations of 37 quasars in the redshift range $6.3< zle7.64$, including 32 quasars at $z>6.5$, forming the largest quasar near-infrared spectral sample at this redshift. The […]

Physics-Augmented Learning: A New Paradigm Beyond Physics-Informed Learning

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Ziming Liu, Yunyue Chen, Yuanqi Du, Max Tegmark, | Summary: Integrating physical inductive biases into machine learning can improve model generalizability. We generalize the successful paradigm of physics-informed learning (PIL) into a more general framework that also includes what we term physics-augmented learning (PAL). PIL and PAL […]

Sagnac interferometry for high-sensitivity optical measurements of spin-orbit torque

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel C. Ralph | First 5 Authors: Saba Karimeddiny, Thow Min Cham, Daniel C. Ralph, Yunqiu Kelly Luo, | Summary: We adapt Sagnac interferometry for magneto-optic Kerr effect measurements of spin-orbit-torque-induced magnetic tilting in thin-film magnetic samples. The high sensitivity of Sagnac interferometry permits for the first time optical quantification of spin-orbit torque […]

Probing Particle Acceleration through Gamma-ray Solar Flare Observations

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Nicola Omodei | First 5 Authors: Melissa Pesce-Rollins, Nicola Omodei, Vahe’ Petrosian, Francesco Longo, | Summary: High-energy solar flares have shown to have at least two distinct phases: prompt-impulsive and delayed-gradual. Identifying the mechanism responsible for accelerating the electrons and ions and the site at which it occurs during these two phases is […]

In-situ non-equilibrium nanomechanics in a proton-conducting ceramic at low temperatures

Posted by dbos Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Jin Suntivich | First 5 Authors: Oleg Yu. Gorobtsov, Yumeng Song, Kevin Fritz, Daniel Weinstock, Yifei Sun | Summary: Nanostructured proton-conducting ceramics (PCCs) have attracted considerable interest as moderate-temperature proton conductors. Structure dynamics during proton conduction, particularly at grain boundaries, are crucial for stability and proton transport in nanostructured PCCs. A common assumption […]

Mass Transfer and Stellar Evolution of the White Dwarfs in AM CVn Binaries

Posted by klaurent UCSB

Kavli Affiliate: Lars Bildsten | First 5 Authors: Tin Long Sunny Wong, Lars Bildsten, , , | Summary: We calculate the stellar evolution of both white dwarfs (WDs) in AM CVn binaries with orbital periods of $P_{mathrm{orb}} approx 5-70$ minutes. We focus on the cases where the donor starts as a $M_{mathrm{He}} < 0.2 , […]
