Highly Excited Electron Cyclotron for QCD Axion and Dark-Photon Detection

Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Xing Fan, Gerald Gabrielse, Peter W. Graham, Harikrishnan Ramani, Samuel S. Y. Wong | Summary: We propose using highly excited cyclotron states of a trapped electron to detect meV axion and dark photon dark matter, marking a significant improvement over our previous proposal and demonstration [Phys. […]

Early auditory and adult mating experiences interact with singer identity to shape neural responses to song in female zebra finches

Kavli Affiliate: Sarah Woolley | Authors: Isabella Catalano and Sarah C Woolley | Summary: Social and sensory experiences across the lifespan can shape social interactions, however, experience-dependent plasticity is widely studied within discrete life stages. In the socially monogamous zebra finch, in which females use learned vocal signals to identify individuals and form long-lasting pair […]

A long spin period for a sub-Neptune-mass exoplanet

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Ellen M. Price, Juliette Becker, ZoĆ« L. de Beurs, Leslie A. Rogers, Andrew Vanderburg | Summary: HIP 41378 f is a sub-Neptune exoplanet with an anomalously low density. Its long orbital period and deep transit make it an ideal candidate for detecting oblateness photometrically. We present a […]

Age-dating early quiescent galaxies: high star-formation efficiency, but consistent with direct, higher-redshift observations

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Crispin Turner, Sandro Tacchella, Francesco D’Eugenio, Stefano Carniani, Mirko Curti | Summary: We present a detailed analysis of JWST/NIRSpec and NIRCam observations of ZF-UDS-7329, a massive, quiescent galaxy at redshift $z=3.2$, which has been put forward to challenge cosmology and galaxy formation physics. Our study extends previous […]

Tomographic constraint on anisotropic cosmic birefringence

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Toshiya Namikawa, , , , | Summary: We for the first time constrain anisotropic cosmic birefringence generated at reionization using Planck PR4 polarization data. Several recent analyses of WMAP and Planck polarization data have found a tantalizing hint of isotropic cosmic birefringence. Ongoing and future CMB experiments […]

Classification of radio backgrounds at cosmic dawn and 21-cm signal confirmation using neural networks

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Sudipta Sikder, Anastasia Fialkov, Rennan Barkana, , | Summary: Several ongoing and upcoming radio telescopes aim to detect either the global 21-cm signal or the 21-cm power spectrum. The extragalactic radio background, as detected by ARCADE-2 and LWA-1, suggests a strong radio background from cosmic dawn, which […]

Direction Modulation Design for UAV Assisted by IRS with discrete phase shift

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Maolin Li, Wei Gao, Qi Wu, Feng Shu, Cunhua Pan | Summary: As a physical layer security technology, directional modulation (DM) can be combined with intelligent reflect-ing surface (IRS) to improve the security of drone communications. In this paper, a directional modulation scheme assisted by the IRS […]
