Discovery of Quasi-periodic Eruptions in the Tidal Disruption Event and Extreme Coronal Line Emitter AT2022upj: implications for the QPE/TDE fraction and a connection to ECLEs

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Joheen Chakraborty, Erin Kara, Riccardo Arcodia, Johannes Buchner, Margherita Giustini | Summary: Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are recurring soft X-ray transients emerging from the vicinity of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in nearby, low-mass galaxy nuclei; about ten QPE hosts have been identified thus far. Here we report the […]

Observing Dark Matter Decays to Gravitons via Graviton-Photon Conversion

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: David I. Dunsky, Gordan Krnjaic, Elena Pinetti, , | Summary: Since dark matter is only known to have gravitational interactions, it may plausibly decay to gravitons on cosmological timescales. Although such a scenario can be easily realized, there are currently no known limits on this possibility based […]

Effective field theory for triple-Q magnetic orders on a hexagonal lattice

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Jin-Tao Jin, Yi Zhou, , , | Summary: We develop a comprehensive Ginzburg-Landau theory describing triple-Q magnetic orders on hexagonal lattices, focusing on $O(N)$ models with $N=2$ and $N=3$. Through systematic analysis of symmetry-allowed terms in the free energy, we establish complete phase diagrams governed by competing […]
