Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Victor Doroshenko, Juri Poutanen, Sergey Tsygankov, Valery Suleimanov, Matteo Bachetti | Summary: Using observations of X-ray pulsar Her X-1 by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer, we report on a highly significant detection of the polarization signal from an accreting neutron star. The observed degree of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Crair | Authors: David O’Connor, Francesca Mandino, Xilin Shen, Corey Horien, Xinxin Ge, Peter Herman, Michael Crair, Xenophon Papademetris, Evelyn MR Lake and Robert Todd Constable | Summary: To improve bench-to-bedside translation, it is integral that knowledge flow bidirectionally from – animal models to humans, and vice versa. This will be facilitated […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Kaley Brauer, Hillary D. Andales, Alexander P. Ji, Anna Frebel, Mohammad K. Mardini | Summary: The Milky Way has accreted many ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs), and stars from these galaxies can be found throughout our Galaxy today. Studying these stars provides insight into galaxy formation and early […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Maxime Dupont, Nicolas Didier, Mark J. Hodson, Joel E. Moore, Matthew J. Reagor | Summary: Many quantum algorithms seek to output a specific bitstring solving the problem of interest–or a few if the solution is degenerate. It is the case for the quantum approximate optimization algorithm […]

Kavli Affiliate: Nicola Omodei | First 5 Authors: Jacco Vink, Dmitry Prokhorov, Riccardo Ferrazzoli, Patrick Slane, Ping Zhou | Summary: We report on a 5$sigma$ detection of polarized 3-6 keV X-ray emission from the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) mission. The overall polarization degree of 1.8 $pm$ 0.3% is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Jian Ge, Hui Zhang, Weicheng Zang, Hongping Deng, Shude Mao | Summary: We propose to develop a wide-field and ultra-high-precision photometric survey mission, temporarily named "Earth 2.0 (ET)". This mission is designed to measure, for the first time, the occurrence rate and the orbital distributions of Earth-sized […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Bang Liu, Li-Hua Zhang, Zong-Kai Liu, Zheng-Yuan Zhang, Zhi-Han Zhu | Summary: Rydberg atoms have great potential in electric field measurement and have an advantage with a large frequency bandwidth from the kHz to the THz scale. However, the sensitivity for measuring a weak MHz electric field […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Wenxuan Wang, Chen Chen, Jing Wang, Sen Zha, Yan Zhang | Summary: For 3D medical image (e.g. CT and MRI) segmentation, the difficulty of segmenting each slice in a clinical case varies greatly. Previous research on volumetric medical image segmentation in a slice-by-slice manner conventionally use the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Andrew Eberhardt, Michael Kopp, Tom Abel, , | Summary: We investigate the timescale on which quantum corrections alter the predictions of classical field theory for scalar field dark matter. This is accomplished by including second order terms in the evolution proportional to the covariance of the field […]
