Kavli Affiliate: Alan Levine | First 5 Authors: Kristo Ment, David Charbonneau, Jonathan Irwin, Jennifer G. Winters, Emily Pass | Summary: Based on photometric observations by TESS, we present the discovery of a Venus-sized planet transiting LHS 475, an M3 dwarf located 12.5 pc from the Sun. The mass of the star is $0.274 pm […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Sunao Sugiyama, Hironao Miyatake, Surhud More, Xiangchong Li, Masato Shirasaki | Summary: We present cosmological parameter constraints from a blind joint analysis of three two-point correlation functions measured from the Year 3 Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC-Y3) imaging data, covering 416 deg$^2$, and the SDSS DR11 spectroscopic galaxies spanning […]

Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Surhud More, Sunao Sugiyama, Hironao Miyatake, Markus Michael Rau, Masato Shirasaki | Summary: We use the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) BOSS galaxies and their overlap with approximately 416 sq. degree of deep $grizy$-band imaging from the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam Survey (HSC). We measure three two-point correlations […]
Kavli Affiliate: E. P. S. Shellard | First 5 Authors: I. Yu. Rybak, C. J. A. P. Martins, Patrick Peter, E. P. S. Shellard, | Summary: We consider the evolution of current-carrying cosmic string networks described by the charge-velocity-dependent one scale (CVOS) model beyond the linear equation of state regime, specifically focusing on the Witten […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kerry J. Vahala | First 5 Authors: Lue Wu, Maodong Gao, Jin-Yu Liu, Hao-Jing Chen, Kellan Colburn | Summary: Thermal silica is a common dielectric used in all silicon-photonic circuits. And bound hydroxyl ions (Si-OH) can provide a significant component of optical loss in this material on account of the wet nature of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Zexin Hu, Xueli Miao, Lijing Shao, , | Summary: Tests of gravity are important to the development of our understanding of gravitation and spacetime. Binary pulsars provide a superb playground for testing gravity theories. In this chapter we pedagogically review the basics behind pulsar observations and pulsar […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Philip Boyle Smith, Ying-Hsuan Lin, Yuji Tachikawa, Yunqin Zheng, | Summary: We classify two-dimensional purely chiral conformal field theories which are defined on two-dimensional surfaces equipped with spin structure and have central charge less than or equal to 16, and discuss their duality webs. This result can […]
