Kavli Affiliate: Igor V. Moskalenko | First 5 Authors: Mikhail A. Malkov, Igor V. Moskalenko, , , | Summary: Significant progress in cosmic ray (CR) studies was achieved over the past decade. Particularly important are precise measurements of primary and secondary species in the TV rigidity domain that show a bump in the spectra of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | First 5 Authors: Natalia Chepiga, Jiří Minář, Kareljan Schoutens, , | Summary: Supersymmetric lattice models of constrained fermions are known to feature exotic phenomena such as superfrustration, with an extensive degeneracy of ground states, the nature of which is however generally unknown. Here we address this issue by considering a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ronald Hanson | First 5 Authors: Maximilian Ruf, Noel H. Wan, Hyeongrak Choi, Dirk Englund, Ronald Hanson | Summary: With the ability to transfer and process quantum information, large-scale quantum networks will enable a suite of fundamentally new applications, from quantum communications to distributed sensing, metrology, and computing. This perspective reviews requirements for […]
Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Avishek Das, Dominic C. Rose, Juan P. Garrahan, David T. Limmer, | Summary: We present a method to probe rare molecular dynamics trajectories directly using reinforcement learning. We consider trajectories that are conditioned to transition between regions of configuration space in finite time, like those relevant […]
Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Toshiya Namikawa, , , , | Summary: We provide a new analysis technique to measure the effect of the isotropic polarization rotation, induced by e.g. the isotropic cosmic birefringence from axion-like particles and a miscalibration of CMB polarization angle, via mode coupling in the cosmic microwave background […]
Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Gabriele Franciolini, Vishal Baibhav, Valerio De Luca, Ken K. Y. Ng, Kaze W. K. Wong | Summary: With several dozen binary black hole events detected by LIGO/Virgo to date and many more expected in the next few years, gravitational-wave astronomy is shifting from individual-event analyses to population […]
Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Y. Homayouni, Megan R. Sturm, Jonathan R. Trump, Keith Horne, C. J. Grier | Summary: We present accretion-disk structure measurements from UV-optical reverberation mapping observations of a sample of eight quasars at 0.24<z<0.85. Ultraviolet photometry comes from two cycles of Hubble Space Telescope monitoring, accompanied by […]
Kavli Affiliate: John E. Carlstrom | First 5 Authors: Ramesh Narayan, Daniel C. M. Palumbo, Michael D. Johnson, Zachary Gelles, Elizabeth Himwich | Summary: Synchrotron radiation from hot gas near a black hole results in a polarized image. The image polarization is determined by effects including the orientation of the magnetic field in the emitting […]
Kavli Affiliate: Rana X. Adhikari | First 5 Authors: M. Saleem, Javed Rana, V. Gayathri, Aditya Vijaykumar, Srashti Goyal | Summary: The global network of gravitational-wave detectors has completed three observing runs with $sim 50$ detections of merging compact binaries. A third LIGO detector, with comparable astrophysical reach, is to be built in India (LIGO-Aundha) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nathan P. Lourie | First 5 Authors: Danielle Frostig, John W. Baker, Joshua Brown, Richard S. Burruss, Kristin Clark | Summary: The Wide-field Infrared Transient Explorer (WINTER) is a 1×1 degree infrared survey telescope under development at MIT and Caltech, and slated for commissioning at Palomar Observatory in 2021. WINTER is a seeing-limited […]
