Tunable vortex Majorana modes controlled by strain in homogeneous LiFeAs

Kavli Affiliate: Fuchun Zhang | First 5 Authors: Wenyao Liu, Quanxin Hu, Xiancheng Wang, Yigui Zhong, Fazhi Yang | Summary: The iron-based superconductors (FeSCs) have recently emerged as a promising single-material Majorana platform by hosting isolated Majorana zero modes (MZMs) at relatively high temperatures. To further verify its Majorana nature and move forward to build […]

MuA-Ori: Multimodal Actuated Origami

Kavli Affiliate: Katia Bertoldi | First 5 Authors: Antonio Elia Forte, David Melancon, Leon M. Kamp, Benjamin Gorissen, Katia Bertoldi | Summary: Recently, inflatable elements integrated in robotics systems have enabled complex motions as a result of simple inputs. However, these fluidic actuators typically exhibit unimodal deformation upon inflation. Here, we present a new design […]

The population of merging compact binaries inferred using gravitational waves through GWTC-3

Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott | Summary: We report on the population properties of 76 compact binary mergers detected with gravitational waves below a false alarm rate of 1 per year through GWTC-3. The catalog contains three […]

Bridging the Gap: Categorizing Gravitational-Wave Events at the Transition Between Neutron Stars and Black Holes

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Amanda M. Farah, Maya Fishbach, Reed Essick, Daniel E. Holz, Shanika Galaudage | Summary: We search for features in the mass distribution of detected compact binary coalescences which signify the transition between neutron stars and black holes. We analyze all gravitational wave detections by LIGO-Virgo made […]

Event Horizon Telescope observations of the jet launching and collimation in Centaurus A

Kavli Affiliate: Thomas M. Crawford | First 5 Authors: Michael Janssen, Heino Falcke, Matthias Kadler, Eduardo Ros, Maciek Wielgus | Summary: Very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations of active galactic nuclei at millimeter wavelengths have the power to reveal the launching and initial collimation region of extragalactic radio jets, down to $10-100$ gravitational radii ($r_g=GM/c^2$) scales in […]

The Paschen Jump as a Diagnostic of the Diffuse Nebular Continuum Emission in Active Galactic Nuclei

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Hengxiao Guo, Aaron J. Barth, Kirk T. Korista, Michael R. Goad, Edward M. Cackett | Summary: Photoionization modeling of active galactic nuclei (AGN) predicts that diffuse continuum (DC) emission from the broad-line region makes a substantial contribution to the total continuum emission from ultraviolet through near-infrared […]

Moderate and $L^p$ maximal inequalities for diffusion processes and conformal martingales

Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Xian Chen, Yong Chen, Mumien Cheng, Chen Jia, | Summary: The $L^p$ maximal inequalities for martingales are one of the classical results in the theory of stochastic processes. Here we establish the sharp moderate maximal inequalities for one-dimensional diffusion processes, which include the $L^p$ maximal inequalities as […]
