X-ray Halos around Massive Galaxies: Data and Theory
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Akos Bogdan, Mark Vogelsberger, , , | Summary: The presence of gaseous X-ray halos around massive galaxies is a basic prediction of all past and modern structure formation simulations. The importance of these X-ray halos is further emphasized by the fact that they retain signatures of the […]

Bridging quantum many-body scar and quantum integrability in Ising chains with transverse and longitudinal fields
Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Cheng Peng, Xiaoling Cui, , , | Summary: Quantum many-body scar (QMBS) and quantum integrability(QI) have been recognized as two distinct mechanisms for the breakdown of eigenstate thermalization hypothesis(ETH) in an isolated system. In this work, we reveal a smooth route to connect these two ETH-breaking mechanisms […]

Chandra, HST/STIS, NICER, Swift, and TESS Detail the Flare Evolution of the Repeating Nuclear Transient ASASSN-14ko
Kavli Affiliate: Michael M. Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Anna V. Payne, Katie Auchettl, Benjamin J. Shappee, Christopher S. Kochanek, Patricia T. Boyd | Summary: ASASSN-14ko is a nuclear transient at the center of the AGN ESO 253-G003 that undergoes periodic flares. Optical flares were first observed in 2014 by the All-Sky Automated Survey for […]

Probable Dormant Neutron Star in a Short-Period Binary System
Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Tsevi Mazeh, Simchon Faigler, Dolev Bashi, Sahar Shahaf, Niv Davidson | Summary: We have identified 2XMM J125556.57+565846.4, at a distance of 600 pc, as a binary system consisting of a normal star and a probable dormant neutron star. Optical spectra exhibit a slightly evolved F-type single star, […]

Is there a sub-parsec-scale jet base in the nearby dwarf galaxy NGC 4395?
Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Jun Yang, Xiaolong Yang, Joan M. Wrobel, Zsolt Paragi, Leonid I. Gurvits | Summary: NGC 4395 is a dwarf galaxy at a distance of about 4.3 Mpc (scale: ~0.021 pc mas$^{-1}$). It hosts an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) with a mass between ~10$^4$ and ~10$^5$ solar […]

Experimental Test of Contextuality based on State Discrimination with a Single Qubit
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Qiuxin Zhang, Chenhao Zhu, Yuxin Wang, Liangyu Ding, Tingting Shi | Summary: Exploring quantum phenomena beyond predictions of any classical model has fundamental importance to understand the boundary of classical and quantum descriptions of nature. As a typical property that a quantum system behaves distinctively from a […]

Searching for ultralight scalar dark matter with muonium and muonic atoms
Kavli Affiliate: Yevgeny Stadnik | Summary:Ultralight scalar dark matter may induce apparent oscillations of the muon mass, which may be directly probed via temporal shifts in the spectra of muonium and muonic atoms. Existing datasets and ongoing spectroscopy measurements with muonium are capable of probing scalar-muon interactions that are up to 12 orders of magnitude […]
