PKS 2131-021 — Discovery of Strong Coherent Sinusoidal Variations from Radio to Optical Frequencies: Compelling Evidence for a Blazar Supermassive Black Hole Binary

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Sebastian Kiehlmann, Philipe Vergara De La Parra, Andrew Sullivan, A. Synani, Ioannis Liodakis | Summary: Haystack and Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) observations recently revealed strong sinusoidal total flux density variations that maintained coherence between 1975 and 2021 in the blazar PKS 2131-021 ($z=1.283)$. This was interpreted […]

Spin-filter tunneling detection of antiferromagnetic resonance with electrically-tunable damping

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel C. Ralph | First 5 Authors: Thow Min Jerald Cham, Daniel G. Chica, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi, Xavier Roy | Summary: Antiferromagnetic spintronics offers the potential for higher-frequency operations compared to ferromagnetic spintronics and improved insensitivity to magnetic fields. However, previous electrical techniques to detect antiferromagnetic dynamics have required millimeter-scale samples to […]

Rich and diverse molecular gas environments of closely-separated dual quasars viewed by ALMA

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Shenli Tang, John D. Silverman, Zhaoxuan Liu, Manda Banerji, Tomoko Suzuki | Summary: We present a study of the molecular gas in five closely-spaced ($R_{perp}<20$ kpc) dual quasars ($L_{rm bol}gtrsim10^{44}~mathrm{erg~s}^{-1}$) at redshifts $0.4<z<0.8$ with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. The dual quasar phase represents a distinctive […]
