Mesoscale shock structure in particulate composites

Kavli Affiliate: G. Ravichandran |Summary:Multiscale experiments in heterogeneous materials and the knowledge of their physics under shock compression are limited. This study examines the multiscale shock response of particulate composites comprised of soda-lime glass particles in a PMMA matrix using full-field high-speed digital image correlation (DIC) for the first time. Normal plate impact experiments, and […]

Detection of stellar light from quasar host galaxies at redshifts above 6

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Xuheng Ding, Masafusa Onoue, John D. Silverman, Yoshiki Matsuoka, Takuma Izumi | Summary: The detection of starlight from the host galaxies of quasars during the reionization epoch ($z>6$) has been elusive, even with deep HST observations. The current highest redshift quasar host detected, at $z=4.5$, required […]

The SPHERE view of three interacting twin disc systems in polarised light

Kavli Affiliate: David Principe | Summary:Dense stellar environments as hosts of ongoing star formation increase the probability of gravitational encounters among stellar systems during the early stages of evolution. Stellar interaction may occur through non-recurring, hyperbolic or parabolic passages (a so-called ‘fly-by’), through secular binary evolution, or through binary capture. In all three scenarios, the […]

The gate-tunable Josephson diode

Kavli Affiliate: L. P. Kouwenhoven | Summary:Superconducting diodes are a recently-discovered quantum analogueue of classical diodes. The superconducting diode effect relies on the breaking of both time-reversal and inversion symmetry. As a result, the critical current of a superconductor can become dependent on the direction of the applied current. The combination of these ingredients naturally […]

Ganymede MHD Model: Magnetospheric Context for Juno’s PJ34 Flyby

Kavli Affiliate: George Clark | Summary:On June 7th, 2021 the Juno spacecraft visited Ganymede and provided the first in situ observations since Galileo’s last flyby in 2000. The measurements obtained along a one-dimensional trajectory can be brought into global context with the help of three-dimensional magnetospheric models. Here we apply the magnetohydrodynamic model of Duling […]

Logarithmic Duality of the Curvature Perturbation

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Shi Pi, Misao Sasaki, , , | Summary: We study the comoving curvature perturbation $mathcal{R}$ in the single-field inflation models whose potential can be approximated by a piecewise quadratic potential $V(varphi)$ by using the $delta N$ formalism. We find a general formula for $mathcal{R}(deltavarphi, deltapi)$, consisting of […]
