Optical leakage mitigation in ortho-mode transducer detectors for microwave applications

Kavli Affiliate: Clarence L. Chang | First 5 Authors: Riccardo Gualtieri, Peter S. Barry, Thomas Cecil, Amy N. Bender, Clarence . L. Chang | Summary: Planar ortho-mode transducers (OMTs) are a commonly used method of coupling optical signals between waveguides and on-chip circuitry and detectors. While the ideal OMT-waveguide coupling requires minimal disturbance to the […]

On measuring the Hubble constant with X-ray reverberation mapping of active galactic nuclei

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Adam Ingram, Guglielmo Mastroserio, Michiel van der Klis, Edward Nathan, Riley Connors | Summary: We show that X-ray reverberation mapping can be used to measure the distance to type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs). This is because X-ray photons originally emitted from the `corona’ close to the […]

A convergent inflation hierarchy for quantum causal structures

Kavli Affiliate: David Gross | First 5 Authors: Laurens T. Ligthart, Mariami Gachechiladze, David Gross, , | Summary: A causal structure is a description of the functional dependencies between random variables. A distribution is compatible with a given causal structure if it can be realized by a process respecting these dependencies. Deciding whether a distribution […]

First Doppler Limits on Binary Planets and Exomoons in the HR 8799 System

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Andrew Vanderburg, Joseph E. Rodriguez, , , | Summary: We place the first constraints on binary planets and exomoons from Doppler monitoring of directly imaged exoplanets. We model radial velocity observations of HR 8799 b, c, and d from Ruffio et al. (2021) and determine upper limits […]

Evidence from Disrupted Halo Dwarfs that $r$-process Enrichment via Neutron Star Mergers is Delayed by $gtrsim500$ Myrs

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Rohan P. Naidu, Alexander P. Ji, Charlie Conroy, Ana Bonaca, Yuan-Sen Ting | Summary: The astrophysical origins of $r$-process elements remain elusive. Neutron star mergers (NSMs) and special classes of core-collapse supernovae (rCCSNe) are leading candidates. Due to these channels’ distinct characteristic timescales (rCCSNe: prompt, NSMs: […]

Gemini/GMOS Transmission Spectroscopy of the Grazing Planet Candidate WD 1856+534 b

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Siyi Xu, Hannah Diamond-Lowe, Ryan J. MacDonald, Andrew Vanderburg, Simon Blouin | Summary: WD 1856+534 b is a Jupiter-sized, cool giant planet candidate transiting the white dwarf WD 1856+534. Here, we report an optical transmission spectrum of WD 1856+534 b obtained from ten transits using the Gemini […]

Stochastic Low Frequency Variability in 3-Dimensional Radiation Hydrodynamical Models of Massive Star Envelopes

Kavli Affiliate: Lars Bildsten | First 5 Authors: William C. Schultz, Lars Bildsten, Yan-Fei Jiang, , | Summary: Increasing main sequence stellar luminosity with stellar mass leads to the eventual dominance of radiation pressure in stellar envelope hydrostatic balance. As the luminosity approaches the Eddington limit, additional instabilities (beyond conventional convection) can occur. These instabilities […]

Zahedy | Summary: We present a detailed study of two partial Lyman limit systems (pLLSs) of neutral hydrogen column density $N_mathrm{H,I}approx(1-3)times10^{16},mathrm{cm}^{-2}$ discovered at $z=0.5$ in the Cosmic Ultraviolet Baryon Survey (CUBS). Available far-ultraviolet […]
