Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Gianluca Lagnese, Federica Maria Surace, Sid Morampudi, Frank Wilczek, | Summary: Distinguishing whether a system supports alternate low-energy (locally stable) states — stable (true vacuum) versus metastable (false vacuum) — by direct observation can be difficult when the lifetime of the state is very long but otherwise […]
Kavli Affiliate: Moritz Guenther | First 5 Authors: Steven M. Silverberg, Hans Moritz Guenther, Pragati Pradhan, David A. Principe, P. C. Schneider | Summary: XZ Tau AB is a frequently observed binary YSO in the Taurus Molecular Cloud; XZ Tau B has been classified as an EXOr object. We present new Chandra/HETG-ACIS-S observations of XZ […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kejia Lee | First 5 Authors: Zhengli Wang, Jiguang Lu, Jinchen Jiang, Shunshun Cao, Kejia Lee | Summary: We observed the nearby 100$%$-duty-cycle radio pulsar B0950+08 using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). We obtained the polarization profile for its entire rotation, which enabled us to investigate its magnetospheric radiation geometry and […]

Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | First 5 Authors: Bernhard Lüscher, Frédéric Mila, Natalia Chepiga, , | Summary: We investigate the nature of the phase transitions in the quantum Ashkin-Teller chain in the presence of chiral perturbations. We locate the Lifshitz line separating a region of direct chiral transitions from the region where the transition is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Li Chen, Feng Wang, Yingrui Wang, Peng Huo, Yuqi Li | Summary: Thermal effect is essential to regulate the interfacial instabilities for diverse technology applications. Here we report the fingering instability at the propagation front for a spreading liquid film subjected to the supercooling at the vertical […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shenghan Jiang | First 5 Authors: Chao Xu, Yixin Ma, Shenghan Jiang, , | Summary: The study of topological band insulators has revealed fascinating phases characterized by band topology indices and anomalous boundary modes protected by global symmetries. In strongly correlated systems, where the traditional notion of electronic bands becomes obsolete, it has […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Boyuan Liu, Nina S. Sartorio, Robert G. Izzard, Anastasia Fialkov, | Summary: X-ray binaries (XRBs) are thought to regulate cosmic thermal and ionization histories during the Epoch of Reionization and Cosmic Dawn ($zsim 5-30$).Theoretical predictions of the X-ray emission from XRBs are important for modelling such early […]
