A Strategy to Identify Materials Exhibiting a Large Nonlinear Phononics Response: Tuning the Ultrafast Structural Response of LaAlO$_3$ with Pressure

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Nicole A. Benedek | First 5 Authors: Jeffrey Z. Kaaret, Guru Khalsa, Nicole A. Benedek, , | Summary: We use theory and first-principles calculations to investigate how structural changes induced by ultrafast optical excitation of infrared-active phonons change with hydrostatic pressure in LaAlO$_3$. Our calculations show that the observed structural changes are sensitive […]

A [C II] 158$μ$m Emitter Associated with an OI Absorber at the End of the Reionization Epoch

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Yunjing Wu, Zheng Cai, Marcel Neeleman, Kristian Finlator, Shiwu Zhang | Summary: The physical and chemical properties of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) at $zgtrsim6$ have been studied successfully through the absorption in the spectra of background Quasi-Stellar Objects (QSOs). One of the most crucial questions is to […]

Cosmic Reionization on Computers: Evolution of the Flux Power Spectrum

Posted by Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Nishant Mishra, Nickolay Gnedin, , , | Summary: We explore the evolution of the flux power spectrum in the Cosmic Reionization On Computers (CROC) simulations. We find that, contrary to some previous studies, the shape of the flux power spectrum is rather insensitive to the timing of […]

How low can you go? SN 2018zd as a low-mass Fe core-collapse supernova

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: E. Callis, M. Fraser, A. Pastorello, Subo Dong, S. J. Brennan | Summary: We present spectroscopy and photometry of SN 2018zd, a Type IIP core-collapse supernova with signatures of interaction with circumstantial material in its earliest spectra. High ionization lines, the earmark of shock breakout, are not […]

Primordial Black Holes from CDM Isocurvature Perturbations

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Samuel Passaglia, Misao Sasaki, , , | Summary: We show that primordial black holes can be produced from the collapse of large isocurvature perturbations of the cold dark matter. We develop a novel procedure to compute the resulting black hole abundance by studying matched perturbations of matter-only […]

Rotation and deformation of strangeon stars in the Lennard-Jones model

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Yong Gao, Xiao-Yu Lai, Lijing Shao, Ren-Xin Xu, | Summary: The strong interactions at low energy scales determine the state of the supranuclear matter in the pulsar-like compact objects. It is proposed that the bulk strong matter could be composed of strangeons, which are quark clusters with […]

Automated Detection of Antenna Malfunctions in Large-N Interferometers: A Case Study with the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Jacqueline N. Hewitt | First 5 Authors: Dara Storer, Joshua S. Dillon, Daniel C. Jacobs, Miguel F. Morales, Bryna J. Hazelton | Summary: We present a framework for identifying and flagging malfunctioning antennas in large radio interferometers. We outline two distinct categories of metrics designed to detect outliers along known failure modes of […]

Acceleration and deceleration of quantum dynamics based on inter-trajectory travel with fast-forward scaling theory

Posted by klaurent Delft

Kavli Affiliate: Gary A. Steele | First 5 Authors: Shumpei Masuda, Jacob Koenig, Gary A. Steele, , | Summary: Quantum information processing requires fast manipulations of quantum systems in order to overcome dissipative effects. We propose a method to accelerate quantum dynamics and obtain a target state in a shorter time relative to unmodified dynamics, […]
