Orbital decay in an accreting and eclipsing 13.7 minute orbital period binary with a luminous donor

Kavli Affiliate: Saul Rappaport | First 5 Authors: Kevin B. Burdge, Kareem El-Badry, Saul Rappaport, Tin Long Sunny Wong, Evan B. Bauer | Summary: We report the discovery of ZTF J0127+5258, a compact mass-transferring binary with an orbital period of 13.7 minutes. The system contains a white dwarf accretor, which likely originated as a post-common […]

A tight universal relation between the shape eccentricity and the moment of inertia for rotating neutron stars

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Yong Gao, Lijing Shao, Jan Steinhoff, , | Summary: Universal relations that are insensitive to the equation of state (EoS) are useful in reducing the parameter space when measuring global quantities of neutron stars (NSs). In this paper, we reveal a new universal relation that connects the […]

Physical space approach to wave equation bilinear estimates revisit

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Sheng Wang, Yi Zhou, , , | Summary: In the paper by Klainerman, Rodnianski and Tao cite{Klainerman-Rodnianski-Tao}, they give a physical space proof to a classical result of Klainerman and Machedon cite{Klainerman-Machedon} for the bilinear space-time estimates of null forms. In this paper, we shall give an […]

Giant spin Hall effect in AB-stacked MoTe2/WSe2 bilayers

Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Zui Tao, Bowen Shen, Wenjin Zhao, Nai Chao Hu, Tingxin Li | Summary: The spin Hall effect (SHE), in which electrical current generates transverse spin current, plays an important role in spintronics for the generation and manipulation of spin-polarized electrons. The phenomenon originates from spin-orbit coupling. In […]

Stabilizing the inverted phase of a WSe$_2$/BLG/WSe$_2$ heterostructure via hydrostatic pressure

Kavli Affiliate: Srijit Goswami | First 5 Authors: Máté Kedves, Bálint Szentpéteri, Albin Márffy, Endre Tóvári, Nikos Papadopoulos | Summary: Bilayer graphene (BLG) was recently shown to host a band-inverted phase with unconventional topology emerging from the Ising-type spin–orbit interaction (SOI) induced by the proximity of transition metal dichalcogenides with large intrinsic SOI. Here, we […]

Mesoscale volumetric light field (MesoLF) imaging of neuroactivity across cortical areas at 18 Hz

Kavli Affiliate: Alipasha Vaziri | Authors: Tobias Nöbauer, Yuanlong Zhang, Hyewon Kim and Alipasha Vaziri | Summary: Various implementations of mesoscopes provide optical access for calcium imaging across multi-millimeter fields-of-view (FOV) in the mammalian brain. However, capturing the activity of the neuronal population within such FOVs near-simultaneously and in a volumetric fashion has remained challenging […]

Quasiparticle and Optical Properties of Carrier-Doped Monolayer MoTe$_2$ from First Principles

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Aurelie Champagne, Jonah B. Haber, Supavit Pokawanvit, Diana Y. Qiu, Souvik Biswas | Summary: The intrinsic weak and highly non-local dielectric screening of two-dimensional materials is well known to lead to high sensitivity of their optoelectronic properties to environment. Less studied theoretically is the role of […]
