Statistical association between the candidate repeating FRB 20200320A and a galaxy group

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Masoud Rafiei-Ravandi, Kendrick M. Smith, D. Michilli, Ziggy Pleunis, Mohit Bhardwaj | Summary: We present results from angular cross-correlations between select samples of CHIME/FRB repeaters and galaxies in three photometric galaxy surveys, which have shown correlations with the first CHIME/FRB catalog containing repeating and nonrepeating sources: […]

Detecting a long lived false vacuum with quantum quenches

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 […]

Radio Pulsar B0950$+$08: Radiation in Magnetosphere and Sparks above Surface

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 […]
