Signatures of tidal disruption of the Hercules ultra-faint dwarf galaxy

Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Xiaowei Ou, Anirudh Chiti, Nora Shipp, Joshua D. Simon, Marla Geha | Summary: The Hercules ultra-faint dwarf galaxy (UFD) has long been hypothesized to be tidally disrupting, yet no conclusive evidence has been found for tidal disruption owing partly to difficulties in identifying Hercules member stars. In […]

Dichotomous Dynamics of Magnetic Monopole Fluids

Kavli Affiliate: J. C. Seamus Davis | First 5 Authors: Chun-Chih Hsu, Hiroto Takahashi, Fabian Jerzembeck, Jahnatta Dasini, Chaia Carroll | Summary: A recent advance in the study of emergent magnetic monopoles was the discovery that monopole motion is restricted to dynamical fractal trajectories (J. Hall’en et al, Science 378, 1218 (2022)) thus explaining the […]

Reducing the error rate of a superconducting logical qubit using analog readout information

Kavli Affiliate: Leonardo Dicarlo | First 5 Authors: Hany Ali, Jorge Marques, Ophelia Crawford, Joonas Majaniemi, Marc Serra-Peralta | Summary: Quantum error correction enables the preservation of logical qubits with a lower logical error rate than the physical error rate, with performance depending on the decoding method. Traditional error decoding approaches, relying on the binarization […]

New probe of non-Gaussianities with primordial black hole induced gravitational waves

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Theodoros Papanikolaou, Xin-Chen He, Xiao-Han Ma, Yi-Fu Cai, Emmanuel N. Saridakis | Summary: We propose a new probe of primordial non-Gaussianities (NGs) through the observation of gravitational waves (GWs) induced by ultra-light ($M_{text{PBH}}< 10^{9}rm{g}$) primordial black holes (PBHs). Interestingly enough, the existence of primordial NG can leave […]

VisRec: A Semi-Supervised Approach to Radio Interferometric Data Reconstruction

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Ruoqi Wang, Haitao Wang, Qiong Luo, Feng Wang, Hejun Wu | Summary: Radio telescopes produce visibility data about celestial objects, but these data are sparse and noisy. As a result, images created on raw visibility data are of low quality. Recent studies have used deep learning models […]

Observational Evidence for Hot Wind Impact on pc-scale in Low-luminosity Active Galactic Nucleus

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Fangzheng Shi, Feng Yuan, Zhiyuan Li, Zhao Su, Suoqing Ji | Summary: Supermassive black holes in galaxies spend majority of their lifetime in the low-luminosity regime, powered by hot accretion flow. Strong winds launched from the hot accretion flow have the potential to play an important role […]

Surface Chern-Simons theory for third-order topological insulators and superconductors

Kavli Affiliate: Long Zhang | First 5 Authors: Zhi-Hao Huang, Yi Tan, Wei Jia, Long Zhang, Xiong-Jun Liu | Summary: Three-dimensional 3rd-order topological insulators (TOTIs) and superconductors (TOTSCs), as the highestorder topological phases hosting zero corner modes in physical dimension, has sparked extensive research interest. However, such topological states have not been discovered in reality […]
