Polarization Position Angle Swing and the Rotating Vector Model of Repeating Fast Radio Bursts

Kavli Affiliate: Kejia Lee | First 5 Authors: Xiaohui Liu, Heng Xu, Jiarui Niu, Yongkun Zhang, Jinchen Jiang | Summary: Fast radio bursts (FRBs), typically highly polarized, usually have a nearly constant polarization position angle (PA) during each burst. Some bursts show significant PA variations, and one of them was claimed to have a PA […]

Constraints on Non-Thermal Pressure at galaxy cluster outskirts from a Joint SPT and XMM-Newton Analysis

Kavli Affiliate: Michael McDonald | First 5 Authors: Arnab Sarkar, Michael McDonald, Lindsey Bleem, Mark Bautz, Bradford A. Benson | Summary: We present joint South Pole Telescope (SPT) and XMM-Newton observations of 8 massive galaxy clusters (0.8–1.7$times$10$^{15}$ M$_{odot}$) spanning a redshift range of 0.16 to 0.35. Employing a novel SZ+X-ray fitting technique, we effectively constrain […]

Ultrafast Spontaneous Exciton Dissociation via Phonon Emission in BiVO$_4$

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Stephen E. Gant, Antonios M. Alvertis, Christopher J. N. Coveney, Jonah B. Haber, Marina R. Filip | Summary: Monoclinic bismuth vanadate (m-BiVO$_4$) is a promising indirect band gap semiconductor for photoelectrochemical water splitting, yet the characteristics of its low-lying photoexcitations, or excitons, remain poorly understood. Here, […]

Massive Black Holes Seeded by Dark Matter — Implications for Little Red Dots and Gravitational Wave Signatures

Tingwei Shen, Xuejian Shen, Huangyu Xiao, Mark Vogelsberger, Fangzhou Jiang | Summary: [[{“value”:”Observations of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at high redshifts challenge standard seeding scenarios. We examine a dissipative self-interacting dark matter (dSIDM) model in which gravothermal collapse leads to the formation of massive BH seeds ab initio. We utilize a semi-analytical framework to predict […]

High Energy Emission from the Intrabinary Shocks in Redback Pulsars

Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Andrew G. Sullivan, Roger W. Romani, , , | Summary: The intrabinary shocks (IBS) of spider pulsars emit non-thermal synchrotron X-rays from accelerated electrons and positrons in the shocked pulsar wind, likely energized by magnetic reconnection. In redback spider pulsars, the IBS typically wraps around the […]

Universality of Rényi Entropy in Conformal Field Theory

Kavli Affiliate: Hirosi Ooguri | First 5 Authors: Yuya Kusuki, Hirosi Ooguri, Sridip Pal, , | Summary: We use the thermal effective theory to prove that, for the vacuum state in any conformal field theory in $d$ dimensions, the $n$-th R’enyi entropy $S_A^{(n)}$ behaves as $S_A^{(n)} = frac{f}{(2pi n)^{d-1}} frac{ {rm Area}(partial A)}{(d-2)epsilon^{d-2}}left(1+O(n)right)$ in the […]
