The JADES Transient Survey III: Linking Core-Collapse Supernova Rates to Cosmic Star Formation

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | Summary:We investigate how core-collapse supernova (CCSN) rates trace the star-formation rate densities (SFRDs) over the redshift range $0 le z le 5$. For this we use new high-redshift results from the James Webb Space Telescope Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) Transient Survey (JTS, see the companion paper by DeCoursey et […]

The JADES Transient Survey II: Volumetric Supernova Rates out to z~5

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | Summary:The JADES Transient Survey (JTS) identified 83 supernova (SN) candidates in the JADES Deep Field, a $sim$25 arcmin$^2$ region with deep ($sim$30 mag) multi-band, multi-epoch JWST/NIRCam coverage. We use this sample to derive the first volumetric core-collapse (CC) SN and Type Ia (SN Ia) rates in the $z$$sim$2-5 range. Many […]

Strong-to-Weak Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking from Wormholes in Holography

Kavli Affiliate: Masahito Yamazaki | Summary:We study strong-to-weak spontaneous symmetry breaking (SWSSB) at finite temperature and its implications in holography. SWSSB is a novel critical phenomenon that arises only in mixed states. We demonstrate SWSSB with the BTZ black hole and show that, in the bulk, it is realized through wormhole geometries connecting the two […]

Remote Entanglement of Solid-State Spin Qubits Integrated in Broadband Waveguides

Kavli Affiliate: Ronald Hanson | Summary:Solid-state spin-photon interfaces promise to scale quantum networks through on-chip photonic integration and multiplexed entanglement generation. To date, remote entanglement between integrated emitters has been realized only in cavity-enhanced systems, where fabrication yield and spectral matching remain major obstacles. Here we demonstrate heralded remote entanglement between diamond tin-vacancy spin qubits […]

The white dwarf population of open clusters and their tidal tails. Tracers of contamination and stellar interactions

Kavli Affiliate: David W. Miller | Summary:Recent Gaia studies have identified numerous open clusters (OCs) & tidal tail catalogues, enabling systematic searches for white dwarfs (WDs) associated with clusters & their extended structures. We compile a literature-based sample of OC-WD pairs to validate WD membership in cluster cores & tails, investigate the initial-final mass relation […]

The Environmental Dependence of Halo Intrinsic Alignments: Stronger Signals in Underdense Regions

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Takada | Summary:The intrinsic alignment (IA) of galaxies and the dark matter haloes that host them is one of the leading astrophysical systematics for weak-lensing cosmology, yet how the IA signal depends on the large-scale environment in which haloes reside is not yet fully characterised. We use the high-resolution $N$-body simulations of […]

Constraints on Annihilating Dark Matter from Gamma-Ray Background-Galaxy Shape Correlations: Model-independent Null Results and Moderate Template-based Signals

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | Summary:We revisit the cross-correlation between the unresolved $γ$-ray background and galaxy shapes to constrain the annihilation cross section of particle dark matter. Our analysis uses $γ$-ray photons from 14 years of observations with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT), together with galaxy shape catalogs from the Dark Energy Survey Year […]
