Adiabatic waveforms for extreme mass-ratio inspirals via multivoice decomposition in time and frequency

Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: Scott A. Hughes, Niels Warburton, Gaurav Khanna, Alvin J. K. Chua, Michael L. Katz | Summary: We compute adiabatic waveforms for extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) by "stitching" together a long inspiral waveform from a sequence of waveform snapshots, each of which corresponds to a particular geodesic […]

Optimizing accuracy and efficacy in data-driven materials discovery for the solar production of hydrogen

Kavli Affiliate: Hector D. Abruna | First 5 Authors: Yihuang Xiong, Quinn T. Campbell, Julian Fanghanel, Catherine K. Badding, Huaiyu Wang | Summary: The production of hydrogen fuels, via water splitting, is of practical relevance for meeting global energy needs and mitigating the environmental consequences of fossil-fuel-based transportation. Water photoelectrolysis has been proposed as a […]

Discovery of soft and hard X-ray time lags in low-mass AGNs

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel R. Wilkins | First 5 Authors: Labani Mallick, Daniel R. Wilkins, William N. Alston, Alex Markowitz, Barbara De Marco | Summary: The scaling relations between the black hole (BH) mass and soft lag properties for both active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and BH X-ray binaries (BHXRBs) suggest the same underlying physical mechanism at […]

Point absorbers in Advanced LIGO

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Mittleman | First 5 Authors: Aidan F. Brooks, Gabriele Vajente, Hiro Yamamoto, Rich Abbott, Carl Adams | Summary: Small, highly absorbing points are randomly present on the surfaces of the main interferometer optics in Advanced LIGO. The resulting nano-meter scale thermo-elastic deformations and substrate lenses from these micron-scale absorbers significantly reduces the […]

Abelian envelopes of exact categories and highest weight categories

Kavli Affiliate: Alexey Bondal | First 5 Authors: Agnieszka Bodzenta, Alexey Bondal, , , | Summary: We define admissible and weakly admissible subcategories in exact categories and prove that the former induce semi-orthogonal decompositions on the derived categories. We develop the theory of thin exact categories, an exact-category analogue of triangulated categories generated by exceptional […]

Path-Dependent Supercooling of the $^3$He Superfluid A-B transition

Kavli Affiliate: Jeevak Parpia | First 5 Authors: Dmytro Lotnyk, Anna Eyal, Nikolay Zhelev, Abhilash Sebastian, Yefan Tian | Summary: We examine the discontinuous first-order superfluid $^3$He A to B transition in the vicinity of the polycritical point (2.232 mK and 21.22 bar). We find path-dependent transitions: cooling at fixed pressure yields a well defined […]
