Critical Stellar Central Densities Drive Galaxy Quenching in the Nearby Universe

Kavli Affiliate: Yingjie Peng | First 5 Authors: Bingxiao Xu, Yingjie Peng, , , | Summary: We study the structural and environmental dependence of the star formation on the plane of stellar mass versus central core density ($Sigma_{rm 1 kpc}$) in the nearby universe. We study the central galaxies in the sparse environment and find […]

Nonlocal screening dictates the radiative lifetimes of excitations in lead halide perovskites

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Yoonjae Park, Amael Obliger, David T. Limmer, , | Summary: We use path integral molecular dynamics simulations and theory to elucidate the interactions between charge carriers, as mediated by a lead halide perovskite lattice. We find that the charge-lattice coupling of MAPbI$_3$ results in a repulsive […]

Systematically Testing Singlet Models for $(g-2)_μ$

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Rodolfo Capdevilla, David Curtin, Yonatan Kahn, Gordan Krnjaic, | Summary: We comprehensively study all viable new-physics scenarios that resolve the muon $(g-2)_mu$ anomaly with only Standard Model singlet particles coupled to muons. Since such models are only viable in the MeV — TeV mass range and require […]

Inhomogeneous superconducting states in two weakly linked superconducting ultra thin films

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Gao-Wei Qiu, Yi Zhou, , , | Summary: A sufficiently large parallel magnetic field will generate staggered supercurrent loops and superfluid density wave in two weakly linked superconducting (SC) ultrathin films, resulting in an inhomogeneous Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state. The SC order parameter of such an FFLO state […]

Characterizing microlensing planetary system OGLE-2014-BLG-0676Lb with adaptive optics imaging

Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Xiao-Jia Xie, Subo Dong, Yossi Shvartzvald, Andrew Gould, Andrzej Udalski | Summary: We constrain the host-star flux of the microlensing planet OGLE-2014-BLG-0676Lb using adaptive optics (AO) images taken by the Magellan and Keck telescopes. We measure the flux of the light blended with the microlensed source to […]

MagAO observations of the binary microlens OGLE-2014-BLG-1050 prefer the higher-mass solution

Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Xiaojia Xie, Subo Dong, Wei Zhu, A. Gould, A. Udalski | Summary: We report adaptive-optics (AO) follow-up imaging of OGLE-2014-BLG-1050, which is the second binary microlensing event with space-based parallax measurements. The degeneracy in microlens parallax pi_E led to two sets of solutions, either a ~(0.9, 0.35) […]

The Disk Veiling Effect of the Black Hole Low-Mass X-ray Binary A0620-00

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Wan-Min Zheng, Qiaoya Wu, Jianfeng Wu, Song Wang, Mouyuan Sun | Summary: The optical light curves of quiescent black hole low-mass X-ray binaries often exhibit significant non-ellipsoidal variabilities, showing the photospheric radiation of the companion star is veiled by other source of optical emission. Assessing this […]

Reply to: Three papers regarding the origin of GN-z11-flash

Kavli Affiliate: Linhua Jiang | First 5 Authors: Linhua Jiang, Shu Wang, Bing Zhang, Nobunari Kashikawa, Luis C. Ho | Summary: In Jiang et al., we detected a bright flash (hereafter GN-z11-flash) that appeared as compact continuum emission during our Keck MOSFIRE observations of the galaxy GN-z11 at z ~ 11. We performed a comprehensive […]

Quasar UV Luminosity Function at $3.5<z<5.0$ from SDSS Deep Imaging Data

Kavli Affiliate: Linhua Jiang | First 5 Authors: Zhiwei Pan, Linhua Jiang, Xiaohui Fan, Jin Wu, Jinyi Yang | Summary: We present a well-designed sample of more than 1000 type 1 quasars at $3.5<z<5$ and derive UV quasar luminosity functions (QLFs) in this redshift range. These quasars were selected using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey […]
