Colliding red giants in galactic nuclei: Shocks, jets, impact on the ISM, X- and gamma-rays, neutrinos, fusion ignition and afterglow

Kavli Affiliate: Pau Amaro Seoane | First 5 Authors: Pau Amaro Seoane, , , , | Summary: In galactic nuclei, stellar densities are so high that stars can physically collide with each other. In this work we focus on the collision of red giants and in particular on the formation of non-thermal processes through collisions […]

Highly-Multimode Solitons in Step-Index Optical Fiber

Kavli Affiliate: Frank W. Wise | First 5 Authors: Yuhang Wu, Nicholas Bender, Demetrios N. Christodoulides, Frank W. Wise, | Summary: We report the generation of multimode solitons in step-index fiber. The solitons are superpositions of 5-10 temporally-aligned transverse modes, they exhibit speckled beam profiles, and the spatio-spectral variation across the soliton can be complex. […]

A fast radio burst localized at detection to an edge-on galaxy using very-long-baseline interferometry

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Tomas Cassanelli, Calvin Leung, Pranav Sanghavi, Juan Mena-Parra, Savannah Cary | Summary: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration, luminous radio transients of extragalactic origin. These events have been used to trace the baryonic structure of the Universe using their dispersion measure (DM) assuming that the contribution […]

Giant anisotropic band flattening in twisted $Γ$ valley semiconductor bilayers

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Huan Wang, Zhaochen Liu, Yadong Jiang, Jing Wang, | Summary: We propose a general theory of anisotropic band flattening in moir’e systems at the $Gamma$ valley. For a two-dimensional semiconductor with a rectangular unit cell of $C_{2z}$ or mirror symmetries, we find that a larger effective mass […]
