Stochastic prior for non-parametric star-formation histories

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Jenny T. Wan, Sandro Tacchella, Benjamin D. Johnson, Kartheik G. Iyer, Joshua S. Speagle | Summary: The amount of power contained in the variations in galaxy star-formation histories (SFHs) across a range of timescales encodes key information about the physical processes which modulate star formation. Modelling the […]

Magnon Landau-Zener tunnelling and spin current generation by electric field

Kavli Affiliate: Gang Su | First 5 Authors: YuanDong Wang, Zhen-Gang Zhu, Gang Su, , | Summary: To control the magnon transport in magnetic systems is of great interest in magnonics. Due to the feasibility of electric field, how to generate and manipulate magnon with pure electrical method is one of the most desired goals. […]

Stochastic waveform estimation at the fundamental quantum limit

Kavli Affiliate: Lee McCuller | First 5 Authors: James W. Gardner, Tuvia Gefen, Simon A. Haine, Joseph J. Hope, John Preskill | Summary: Although measuring the deterministic waveform of a weak classical force is a well-studied problem, estimating a random waveform, such as the spectral density of a stochastic signal field, is much less well-understood […]

Open Cluster Dynamics under the Influence of Outflow-Ambient Interactions

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Muxin Liu, Lile Wang, Xiaoting Fu, Luis C. Ho, | Summary: Stars with outflows impinging on ambient gas experience accelerations due to the gravitational feedback from the interaction morphology between the outflow and the ambient gas. Such “negative dynamical friction” (NDF), in contrast to the conventional […]

Exact CMB B-mode power spectrum from anisotropic cosmic birefringence

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Toshiya Namikawa, , , , | Summary: We calculate the cosmic microwave background (CMB) $B$-mode power spectrum resulting from anisotropic cosmic birefringence, without relying on the thin approximation of the last scattering surface. Specifically, we consider the influence of anisotropic cosmic birefringence arising from massless axion-like particles. […]
