Evidence of large recoil velocity from a black hole merger signal

Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Vijay Varma, Sylvia Biscoveanu, Tousif Islam, Feroz H. Shaik, Carl-Johan Haster | Summary: The final black hole left behind after a binary black hole merger can attain a recoil velocity, or a "kick", reaching values up to 5000 km/s. This phenomenon has important implications for gravitational wave […]

Classification of solutions to several semi-linear polyharmonic equations and fractional equations

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Zhuoran Du, Zhenping Feng, Yuan Li, , | Summary: We are concerned with the following semi-linear polyharmonic equation with integral constraint begin{align} left{begin{array}{rl} &(-Delta)^pu=u^gamma_+ ~~ mbox{ in }{mathbb{R}^n},\ nonumber &int_{mathbb{R}^n}u_+^{gamma}dx<+infty, end{array}right. end{align} where $n>2p$, $pgeq2$ and $pinmathbb{Z}$. We obtain for $gammain(1,frac{n}{n-2p})$ that any nonconstant solution satisfying certain […]

Current Challenges in Cepheid Distance Calibrations Using Gaia EDR3

Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Kayla A. Owens, Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore, Abigail J. Lee, | Summary: Using parallaxes from Gaia Early Data Release 3 (EDR3), we determine multi-wavelength BVI, JHK, and [3.6] & [4.5] micron absolute magnitudes for 37 nearby Milky Way Cepheids, covering the period range between […]

Nonvolatile Electric-Field Control of Inversion Symmetry

Kavli Affiliate: Darrell G. Schlom | First 5 Authors: Lucas Caretta, Yu-Tsun Shao, Jia Yu, Antonio B. Mei, Bastien F. Grosso | Summary: In condensed-matter systems, competition between ground states at phase boundaries can lead to significant changes in material properties under external stimuli, particularly when these ground states have different crystal symmetries. A key […]

Optimal control of nonequilibrium systems through automatic differentiation

Kavli Affiliate: Michael P. Brenner | First 5 Authors: Megan C. Engel, Jamie A. Smith, Michael P. Brenner, , | Summary: Controlling the evolution of nonequilibrium systems to minimize dissipated heat or work is a key goal for designing nanodevices, both in nanotechnology and biology. Progress in computing optimal protocols has thus far been limited […]
