Kavli Affiliate: Kerry J. Vahala | First 5 Authors: Maodong Gao, Qi-Fan Yang, Qing-Xin Ji, Heming Wang, Lue Wu | Summary: Optical microresonators with high quality ($Q$) factors are essential to a wide range of integrated photonic devices. Steady efforts have been directed towards increasing microresonator $Q$ factors across a variety of platforms. With success […]
Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Jeffrey McKaig, Claudio Ricci, Stéphane Paltani, Shobita Satyapal, | Summary: Recent observations have shown that a large portion of the mid–infrared (MIR) spectrum of active galactic nuclei (AGN) stems from the polar regions. In this paper, we investigate the effects of this polar gas on the X-ray […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Andrew Eberhardt, Alvaro Zamora, Michael Kopp, Tom Abel, | Summary: We test the degree to which interacting Bosonic systems can be approximated by a classical field as total occupation number is increased. This is done with our publicly available code repository, href{https://github.com/andillio/QIBS}{QIBS}, a massively parallel solver for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Sal Wanying Fu, Daniel R. Weisz, Else Starkenburg, Nicolas Martin, Alexander P. Ji | Summary: We use deep narrowband Ca H&K ($F395N$) imaging taken with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to construct the metallicity distribution function (MDF) of Local Group (LG) ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) galaxy Eridanus […]
Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Rabindranath Bag, Matthew Ennis, Chunxiao Liu, Sachith E. Dissanayake, Zhenzhong Shi | Summary: We investigate the thermodynamic properties of the ytterbium-based triangular lattice compound Ba3Yb(BO3)3. The results demonstrate the absence of any long-range ordering down to 56 mK. Analysis of the magnetization, susceptibility and specific heat measurements […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Mattis Magg, Itamar Reis, Anastasia Fialkov, Rennan Barkana, Ralf S. Klessen | Summary: Mapping Cosmic Dawn with 21-cm tomography offers an exciting new window into the era of primordial star formation. However, self-consistent implementation of both the process of star formation and the related 21-cm signal is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Wei Gao, Dong-Mei Wang, Hai-Jun Wu, Dong-Sheng Ding, Carmelo Rosales-Guzmán | Summary: Abruptly autofocusing waves and associated ring-Airy (RA) beams are attracting increasing interest owing to their advantages in focusing abruptness and small F-number. Optical frequency conversion via parametric interactions can further expand their application areas, yet […]
Kavli Affiliate: John Reynolds | Authors: Kandarp Dave, Donna B Stolz, Michael John Reynolds, Riyan Babidhan, Duncan X Dobbins, Tarun N. Bhatia, Hannah Yankello, Rohan Reddy, Younsoo Bae, Rehana K Leak, Sruti Shiva and Devika Soundara Manickam | Summary: Ischemic stroke causes brain endothelial cell (BEC) death and damages tight junction integrity of the blood-brain […]
Kavli Affiliate: Clarence L. Chang | First 5 Authors: Riccardo Gualtieri, Peter S. Barry, Thomas Cecil, Amy N. Bender, Clarence . L. Chang | Summary: Planar ortho-mode transducers (OMTs) are a commonly used method of coupling optical signals between waveguides and on-chip circuitry and detectors. While the ideal OMT-waveguide coupling requires minimal disturbance to the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Adam Ingram, Guglielmo Mastroserio, Michiel van der Klis, Edward Nathan, Riley Connors | Summary: We show that X-ray reverberation mapping can be used to measure the distance to type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs). This is because X-ray photons originally emitted from the `corona’ close to the […]
