Kavli Affiliate: Lina Necib | First 5 Authors: Isabel S. Sands, Philip F. Hopkins, Xuejian Shen, Michael Boylan-Kolchin, James Bullock | Summary: While galaxy rotation curves provide one of the most powerful methods for measuring dark matter profiles in the inner regions of rotation-supported galaxies, at the dwarf scale there are factors that can complicate […]
Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Emma A. Pappas, Rong Zhang, Cheng Peng, Robert T. Busch, Jian-Min Zuo | Summary: Previous studies on natural samples of pampaloite (AuSbTe) revealed the crystal structure of a potentially cleavable and/or exfoliable material, while studies on natural and synthetic montbrayite (Sb-containing Au$_2$Te$_3$) claimed various chemical compositions for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Houda Haidar, David J. Rosario, Almudena Alonso-Herrero, Miguel Pereira-Santaella, Ismael García-Bernete | Summary: Polar dust has been discovered in a number of local Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), with radiation-driven torus models predicting a wind to be its main driver. However, little is known about its characteristics, spatial […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Sihao Cheng, Gabriela A. Marques, Daniela Grandón, Leander Thiele, Masato Shirasaki | Summary: As weak lensing surveys go deeper, there is an increasing need for reliable characterization of non-Gaussian structures at small angular scales. Here we present the first cosmological constraints with weak lensing scattering transform, a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gang Su | First 5 Authors: Yuan Gao, Chuandi Zhang, Junsen Xiang, Dehong Yu, Xingye Lu | Summary: Supersolid is an exotic quantum state of matter that hosts spontaneously the features of both solid and superfluidity, which breaks the lattice translational symmetry and U(1) gauge symmetry. Here we conduct inelastic neutron scattering (INS) […]
Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Yongming Liang, Masami Ouchi, Dongsheng Sun, Nobunari Kashikawa, Zheng Cai | Summary: We report the identification of a quasar overdensity in the BOSSJ0210 field, dubbed Cosmic Himalayas, consisting of 11 quasars at $z=2.16-2.20$, the densest overdensity of quasars ($17sigma$) in the $sim$10,000 deg$^2$ of the Sloan […]
Kavli Affiliate: Itai Cohen | First 5 Authors: Edward Y. X. Ong, Anna R. Barth, Navneet Singh, Meera Ramaswamy, Abhishek Shetty | Summary: Systems driven far from equilibrium often retain structural memories of their processing history. This memory has, in some cases, been shown to dramatically alter the material response. For example, work hardening in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Lu-Chuan Liu, Cheng Wu, Wei Li, Yu-Ao Chen, Frank Wilczek | Summary: Long baseline diffraction-limited optical aperture synthesis technology by interferometry plays an important role in scientific study and practical application. In contrast to amplitude (phase) interferometry, intensity interferometry — which exploits the quantum nature of light […]
