Masses of Sunyaev-Zel’dovich Galaxy Clusters Detected by The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Stacked Lensing Measurements with Subaru HSC Year 3 data

Posted by dbos Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: David Spergel | First 5 Authors: Masato Shirasaki, Cristóbal Sifón, Hironao Miyatake, Erwin Lau, Zhuowen Zhang | Summary: We present a stacked lensing analysis of 96 galaxy clusters selected by the thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) effect in maps of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). We select foreground galaxy clusters with a $5sigma$-level SZ threshold […]

The white-light superflares from cool stars in GWAC triggers

Posted by dbos Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Guang-Wei Li, Liang Wang, Hai-Long Yuan, Li-Ping Xin, Jing Wang | Summary: M-type stars are the ones that flare most frequently, but how big their maximum flare energy can reach is still unknown. We present 163 flares from 162 individual M2 through L1-type stars that triggered the […]

On the interplay of electronic and lattice screening on exciton binding in two-dimensional lead halide perovskites

Posted by dbos Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Rohit Rana, David T. Limmer, , , | Summary: We use path integral Monte Carlo to study the energetics of excitons in layered, hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites in order to elucidate the relative contributions of dielectric confinement and electron-phonon coupling. While the dielectric mismatch between polar perovskite […]

Derivations of Bloch (Majorana–Bloch) equation, von Neumann equation, and Schrödinger–Pauli equation

Posted by dbos Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Lihong V. Wang | First 5 Authors: Lihong V. Wang, , , , | Summary: The transition from classical physics to quantum mechanics has been mysterious. Here, we derive the space-independent von Neumann equation for electron spin mathematically from the classical Bloch or Majorana–Bloch equation, which is also derived. Subsequently, the space-independent Schr"odinger–Pauli […]
