An axion dark matter-induced echo of supernova remnants

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi Masui | First 5 Authors: Yitian Sun, Katelin Schutz, Anjali Nambrath, Calvin Leung, Kiyoshi Masui | Summary: Axions are a theoretically promising dark matter (DM) candidate. In the presence of radiation from bright astrophysical sources at radio frequencies, nonrelativistic DM axions can undergo stimulated decay to two nearly back-to-back photons, meaning that […]

Measuring the Density Fields around Bright Quasars at $zsim 6$ with XQR-30 Spectra

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Huanqing Chen, Anna-Christina Eilers, Sarah E. I. Bosman, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, Xiaohui Fan | Summary: Measuring the density of the intergalactic medium using quasar sightlines in the epoch of reionization is challenging due to the saturation of Lyman-$alpha$ absorption. Near a luminous quasar, however, the enhanced […]

Global optimization of multilayer dielectric coatings for precision measurements

Kavli Affiliate: Rana X. Adhikari | First 5 Authors: Gautam Venugopalan, Koji Arai, Rana X Adhikari, , | Summary: We describe the design of optimized multilayer dielectric coatings for precision laser interferometry. By setting up an appropriate cost function and then using a global optimizer to find a minimum in the parameter space, we were […]

Intersonic Detachment Surface Waves in Elastomer Frictional Sliding

Kavli Affiliate: David A. Weitz | First 5 Authors: Huifeng Du, Emmanuel Virot, Liying Wang, Sam Kharchenko, Md Arifur Rahman | Summary: Elastomeric materials when sliding on clean and rough surfaces generate wrinkles at the interface due to tangential stress gradients. These interfacial folds travel along the bottom of elastomer as surface detachment waves to […]

TESS Eclipsing Binary Stars. I. Short cadence observations of 4584 eclipsing binaries in Sectors 1-26

Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Andrej Prsa, Angela Kochoska, Kyle E. Conroy, Nora Eisner, Daniel R. Hey | Summary: In this paper we present a catalog of 4584 eclipsing binaries observed during the first two years (26 sectors) of the TESS survey. We discuss selection criteria for eclipsing binary candidates, detection of […]

Mass of the dynamically hot inner stellar halo predicts the ancient accreted stellar mass

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Ling Zhu, Annalisa Pillepich, Glenn van de Ven, Ryan Leaman, Lars Hernquist | Summary: Galactic dynamical structures are fossil records of the assembly histories of galaxies. By analyzing the cosmological hydrodynamical simulation TNG50, we find that a dynamical structure that we call the "hot inner stellar halo," […]

Constraints on small-scale primordial density fluctuation from cosmic microwave background through dark matter annihilation

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Kawasaki, Hiromasa Nakatsuka, Kazunori Nakayama, , | Summary: The cosmic microwave background (CMB) observation by the Planck satellite precisely determines primordial curvature fluctuations on larger scales than $mathcal O(1),mathrm{Mpc}$, while the small-scale curvature fluctuation is still less constrained. The constraint on small-scale fluctuations is highly improved […]

Combined analysis of Belle and Belle II data to determine the CKM angle $ φ_{3} $ using $B^+ to D(K_{S}^0 h^- h^+) h^+$ decays

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle, Belle II Collaborations, :, F. Abudinén, L. Aggarwal | Summary: We present a measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa unitarity triangle angle $ phi_{3} $ (also known as~$gamma$) using a model-independent Dalitz plot analysis of linebreak $B^+to Dleft(K_{S}^{0}h^{+}h^{-}right)h^+$, where $D$ is either a $D^0$ or $bar{D}{}^0$ meson and […]
