Little Red and Blue Dots: AGN-excited narrow lines, Lyman-$α$ emission, and resemblance to standard quasars

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | Summary:We present an analysis of a sample of 36 Little Red and Blue Dots (LRDs and LBDs) at $2.26<z<7.89$, identified by JWST in the GOODS fields. While both categories are selected to have broad Balmer lines, both of them are extremely X-ray weak. Both classes share the same location on […]

Development of TIFUUN: Terahertz Integral Field Units with Universal Nanotechnology

Kavli Affiliate: Tomotake Matsumura | Summary:TIFUUN (THz Integral Field Units with Universal Nanotechnology) is an ultra-wideband mm-submm wave imaging spectrometer that capitalizes on the highly scalable integrated superconducting spectrometer technology. TIFUUN has two slots for integral field units (IFUs), which can jointly be optimized as open-hardware for each astronomical observation in terms of spatial and […]

Spin qubit operations by conveyor-mode shuttling

Kavli Affiliate: Lieven Vandersypen | Summary:Dynamic qubit routing is emerging as a promising architectural path for semiconductor quantum processors. Charge carriers can be rapidly moved around on a chip using traveling-wave potentials known as conveyors, preserving the spin state with high fidelity. Originally developed for spin transport, conveyor-mode shuttling may also offer opportunities for performing […]

Little Red Dots as Supermassive Counterparts of SS 433: A Hyper-Eddington Accretion Framework

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | Summary:High-redshift little red dots (LRDs) are compact sources characterized by V-shaped spectral energy distributions (SEDs), broad emission lines, and often prominent Balmer breaks. Their high number density and apparently large black hole masses suggest that they are essential to the early evolution of galaxies and supermassive black holes (SMBHs); however, […]

Persistent structural distortions and absent superconductivity in trilayer nickelate thin films

Kavli Affiliate: David Muller | Summary:A new family of high-temperature superconductors was recently discovered in the $n=2,3$ Ruddlesden-Popper nickelates, where superconductivity emerges concomitant with suppression of parent density waves and structural octahedral rotations under hydrostatic pressure. Intriguingly, compressive strain mimics the structural effects of pressure in the $n=2$ phase, yielding ambient-pressure superconductivity. However, analogous strain-stabilized […]

LEGGOS I: The JWST LEGGOS Survey — LEnsing and Galaxy Growth: Observing Substructures — Unpacks the Nature of Clumpy Star Formation and Quenching in Gravitationally Lensed Galaxies beyond Cosmic Noon

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Gladders | Summary:We present first results from the JWST LEGGOS Survey (LEnsing and Galaxy Growth: Observing Substructures), aimed at studying the physics of clumpy star formation and quenching in eight lensed galaxies at $zsim2$–4. LEGGOS combines multiple Cycle 2 JWST GO programs (GO 4125, GO 3843) and Cycle 1 archival data, and […]

LEGGOS II: A Strong Lens Model and Source-Plane Projection of the Clumpy Star-Forming Galaxy SGASJ111020.0+645950.8 at z=2.48

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Gladders | Summary:Strong gravitational lensing by galaxy clusters combined with the resolution of JWST enables studies of star formation on ~10-100 pc scales in galaxies at z~2-4. As part of the LEnsing and Galaxy Growth: Observing Substructures survey (LEGGOS), we present an updated strong lensing model of the galaxy cluster SDSSJ1110+6459 (z=0.659), […]
