The Chicago Carnegie Hubble Program: Improving the Calibration of SNe Ia with JWST Measurements of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch

Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Taylor J. Hoyt, In Sung Jang, Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore, Kayla A. Owens | Summary: We present distances to ten supernova (SN) host galaxies determined via the red giant branch tip (TRGB) using JWST/NIRCAM and the F115W, F356W, and F444W bandpasses. Our analysis, including […]

BlackTHUNDER strikes twice: rest-frame Balmer-line absorption and high Eddington accretion rate in a Little Red Dot at $z=7.04$

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Francesco D’Eugenio, Roberto Maiolino, Michele Perna, Hannah Uebler, Xihan Ji | Summary: JWST spectroscopy has revealed a population of compact objects at redshifts $z=2$-9 with `v’-shaped spectral energy distributions, broad permitted lines, and, often, hydrogen Balmer absorption. Among these `Little Red Dots’ (LRDs), Abell2744-QSO1 at $z=7.04$ has […]

Deconfined quantum criticality in a frustrated Haldane chain with single-ion anisotropy

Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | First 5 Authors: Niels T. Pronk, Bowy M. La Rivière, Natalia Chepiga, , | Summary: We report a phase diagram of the antiferromagnetic spin-1 chain with nearest-neighbor Heisenberg and three-site interactions in the presence of single-ion anisotropy. We show that the Gaussian and Ising transitions that separate the topological Haldane […]

The reliability of hybrid functionals for accurate fundamental and optical gap prediction of bulk solids and surfaces

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Francisca Sagredo, María Camarasa-Gómez, Francesco Ricci, Aurélie Champagne, Leeor Kronik | Summary: Hybrid functionals have been considered insufficiently reliable for the prediction of band gaps in solids and surfaces. We revisit this issue with a new generation of optimally-tuned range-separated hybrid functionals, focusing on the reconstructed […]
