Improved Modeling of Quasi-Static Thermal and Optical Response of Lumped-Element Aluminum Manganese KIDs

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Sunil Golwala | Summary:We report on the optical characterization of the AlMn kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) in development for use in the Next-generation Extended Wavelength-MUltiband Sub/millimeter Inductance Camera (NEW-MUSIC) on the Leighton Chajnantor Telescope (LCT). NEW-MUSIC will cover 80-420 GHz, split into six spectral bands, with polarimetry. This broad spectral coverage will enable […]

Continuum variability in multi-epoch quasar spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Luis Ho| First 5 Authors: Minjin Kim, Minjin Kim, , , | Summary:We examine the continuum variability of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) by analyzing the multi-epoch spectroscopic data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. To achieve this, we utilized approximately 2 million spectroscopy pairwise combinations observed across different epochs for $sim90,000$ AGNs. We […]

All-nitride superconducting qubits based on atomic layer deposition

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: David Muller| First 5 Authors: Danqing Wang, Danqing Wang, , , | Summary:The development of large-scale quantum processors benefits from superconducting qubits that can operate at elevated temperatures and be fabricated with scalable, foundry-compatible processes. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is increasingly being adopted as an industrial standard for thin-film growth, particularly in applications […]

Low-Frequency Noise Performance of Microstrip-Coupled Lumped-Element Aluminum KIDs using Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon Parallel-Plate Capacitors for NEW-MUSIC

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Sunil Golwala | Summary:We present measurements of the low-frequency noise of microstrip-coupled, lumped-element aluminum kinetic inductance detectors that use hydrogenated amorphous silicon parallel-plate capacitors (Al/a-Si:H MS-PPC-LEKIDs), which are under development for the Next-generation Extended Wavelength Multiband Submillimeter Inductance Camera (NEW-MUSIC). We show that, under dark conditions, these devices are generation recombination (GR) noise […]

CoronaGraph Instrument Reference stars for Exoplanets (CorGI-REx) I. Preliminary Vetting and Implications for the Roman Coronagraph and Habitable Worlds Observatory

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | Summary:The upcoming Roman Coronagraph will be the first high-contrast instrument in space capable of high-order wavefront sensing and control technologies, a critical technology demonstration for the proposed Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) that aims to directly image and characterize habitable exoEarths. The nominal Roman Coronagraph observing plan involves alternating observations of […]

Modelling Millisecond Pulsar Populations in Globular Clusters with NBODY6++GPU

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Rainer Spurzem | Summary:Millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are neutron stars with spin periods as short as a few milliseconds, formed through mass accretion from companion stars. In the dense environments of globular clusters (GCs), MSPs are likely to originate through dynamically assembled interacting binaries. Over 300 MSPs have been detected in GCs to date, […]

Parsing auditory neural code into maximum-entropy packets

Posted by dbos UCSD / Salk

Endothelial type I interferon signaling modulates the vascular response to ischemic brain injury Kavli Affiliate: Tatyana Sharpee | Authors: Huanqiu Zhang, Israel Nelken and Tatyana Sharpee | Summary: Deciphering the neural code requires identifying its fundamental symbols or code-words. Neural activity is usually interpreted either as a rate code – based on average spike counts […]
