Page transition for the complexity of an evaporating black hole

Posted by klaurent July 23, 2026July 27, 2026This Week: Astrophysics, Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Yasunori Nomura | Summary:Recent results demonstrate that there exists a sharp, Page-like transition for the complexity of subsystems of Haar-random states as their fractional subsystem size surpasses one half. They further demonstrate that this transition also occurs for the holographic complexity of boundary subregions of eternal AdS black holes, assuming the Complexity$=$Volume (CV) […]

JWST/MIRI Reveals the Evolution from Molecular to Atomic Disk Winds

Posted by klaurent July 23, 2026July 27, 2026Peking, This Week: Astrophysics

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory Herczeg | Summary:The evolution and dispersal of protoplanetary disks–governed by accretion, magnetically launched jets and winds, and photoevaporative winds–fundamentally shape planetary systems. Determining how these mass-loss processes co-evolve is crucial for constraining planet formation pathways. We analyze archival JWST/MIRI/IFU data of 72 inclined (i>40deg) mostly ClassII disks to identify and characterize spatially […]

Outflows in super-Eddington quasars drive clumpy circumgalactic medium and extended H$α$ nebulae at $z gtrsim 6$

Posted by klaurent July 23, 2026July 27, 2026Cambridge, This Week: Astrophysics

Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | Summary:The discovery of gargantuan black holes with masses exceeding a billion solar masses at $zgtrsim6$ suggests rapid black hole growth and significant energy input into their host galaxies in the early Universe. With JWST probing previously unseen phases of the interstellar (ISM) and circumgalactic (CGM) medium around $z > 6$ […]

The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. IX – Part 2: Effects of a Major Galaxy Merger on the Stellar Morphology of a Milky Way-mass Galaxy Progenitor

Posted by klaurent July 23, 2026July 27, 2026Stanford, This Week: Astrophysics

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | Summary:Galaxy mergers, with their high sensitivity to initial conditions, provide a valuable setting for comparative studies of galaxy simulation codes. Following our first paper focusing on merger-driven star formation, we present a code comparison examining the morphological transformation impact of a major galaxy merger at $z approx 4.5$ on a […]

The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. IX – Part 1: Effects of a Major Galaxy Merger on Star Formation of a Milky Way-mass Galaxy Progenitor

Posted by klaurent July 23, 2026July 27, 2026Stanford, This Week: Astrophysics

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | Summary:Given their highly nonlinear dynamics and sensitivity to initial conditions, galaxy mergers are a compelling area to conduct a simulation code comparison. We perform a comparative study of a major galaxy merger at $z approx 4.5$ in cosmological zoom-in hydrodynamic simulations of a Milky Way-mass galaxy progenitor. The comparison employs […]

Reviving the Affleck-Dine Curvaton Scenario with Compensated Isocurvature Perturbations

Posted by klaurent July 23, 2026July 27, 2026This Week: Astrophysics, Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | Summary:We revisit the Affleck-Dine curvaton scenario in the framework of supersymmetry, taking Q-ball formation into account. In this scenario, a scalar field carrying baryon number, namely the Affleck-Dine field, generates both the curvature perturbations and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. However, correlated baryon isocurvature perturbations are inevitably generated, resulting […]

Polarization vector conjugation in a photonic integrated circuit

Posted by klaurent July 23, 2026Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: David W. Miller | Summary:We show how to perform polarization conjugation of light in a simple apparatus without any nonlinear optical materials, based on self-configuring Mach-Zehnder interferometers fed by a polarization splitter. This allows us to completely and automatically remove the polarization variations on a single beam or mode propagating through an optical […]
