Hybrid Analog-Digital Simulation of the Abelian Higgs model

Posted by klaurent Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | Summary:To investigate gauge theories with near-term quantum computers warrants exploration of nontraditional quantum simulators to find resource-efficient simulation protocols and ultimately access exotic features of different field theories, including unexplored regimes of the QCD phase diagram. In this work, using superconducting transmon qutrit processors, we formulate and implement a pulse-based, […]

SPHEREx Wide-Field Infrared Spectral Mapping of Interstellar Ices and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: James Bock | Summary:We present some of the first infrared spectral maps acquired by SPHEREx. These maps, which to our knowledge are the largest of their type ever compiled in the near-infrared, reveal multiple strong lines due to interstellar ices and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) throughout the Cygnus X and North American Nebula […]

HaloFlow II: Robust Galaxy Halo Mass Inference with Domain Adaptation

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Khee-Gan Lee | Summary:Precise halo mass ($M_h$) measurements are crucial for cosmology and galaxy formation. HaloFlow introduced a simulation-based inference (SBI) framework that uses state-of-the-art simulated galaxy images to precisely infer $M_h$. However, for HaloFlow to be applied to observations, it must be generalizable even when the underlying galaxy formation physics differ from […]

The SMUGGLE-Ring project: Bar and bulge effects on nuclear disk and ring formation

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | Summary:We present the first results from the SMUGGLE-Ring project, a suite of simulations employing the SMUGGLE ISM and stellar feedback model to explore nuclear structures in Milky Way-mass galaxies. We discuss results from three simulations evolved for 5 Gyr in isolation, in which we vary the classical bulge mass, while […]

GATOS N: The first direct kinematic evidence of dusty outflows from AGN via PAH kinematics of local Seyfert galaxies with JWST

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | Summary:We present the first spatially resolved kinematic evidence for dust in the outflows of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). We utilise observations from JWST with NIRSpec IFU and MIRI MRS data of 10 local Seyferts and use Principal Component Analysis (PCA) tomography to extract the kinematics of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) […]

A superconducting half-dome in bilayer nickelates

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: David Muller | Summary:Understanding how superconductivity emerges and collapses in correlated electron systems remains a central challenge in condensed matter physics. As a recently discovered member of the high temperature superconductor family, bilayer nickelates provide a new opportunity for examining this problem. Their pronounced sensitivity to oxygen stoichiometry, while posing challenges for stabilizing […]

Shifted-geodesic approximation for spinning-body gravitational wave fluxes

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | Summary:We present a shifted-geodesic framework for computing gravitational-wave fluxes from spinning test bodies moving on bound orbits of Kerr black holes. The method provides a simple and efficient means of evaluating energy and angular momentum fluxes incorporating the leading effect of the smaller body’s spin. Because post-adiabatic corrections, including […]
