Investigating the existence of gravitomagnetic monopole in M87*

Kavli Affiliate: Qingjuan Yu | First 5 Authors: M. Ghasemi-Nodehi, Chandrachur Chakraborty, Qingjuan Yu, Youjun Lu, | Summary: We examine the possibility for the existence of gravitomagnetic monopole ($n_*$) in M87* by using the results obtained from its first Event Horizon Telescope image. By numerically deducing the shadow sizes in Kerr-Taub-NUT (KTN) spacetime, we show […]

The Eccentric and Accelerating Stellar Binary Black Hole Mergers in Galactic Nuclei: Observing in Ground and Space Gravitational Wave Observatories

Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Fupeng Zhang, Xian Chen, Lijing Shao, Kohei Inayoshi, | Summary: We study the stellar binary black holes (BBHs) inspiralling/merging in galactic nuclei based on our numerical method GNC. We find that $3-40%$ of all new born BBHs will finally merge due to various dynamical effects. In a […]

Bounded multiplicity theorems for induction and restriction

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiyuki Kobayashi | First 5 Authors: Toshiyuki Kobayashi, , , , | Summary: We prove a geometric criterion for the bounded multiplicity property of "small" infinite-dimensional representations of real reductive Lie groupsin both induction and restrictions. Applying the criterion to symmetric pairs, we give a full description of the triples $H subset G […]

Visualizing the Energy-gap Modulations of the Cuprate Pair Density Wave State

Kavli Affiliate: J. C. Davis | First 5 Authors: Zengyi Du, Hui Li, Sanghyun Joo, Elizabeth P. Donoway, Jinho Lee | Summary: When Cooper pairs are formed with finite center-of-mass momentum, the defining characteristic is a spatially modulating superconducting energy gap $Delta(r)$. Recently, this concept has been generalized to the pair density wave (PDW) state […]

Probing Early Super-massive Black Hole Growth and Quasar Evolution with Near-infrared Spectroscopy of 37 Reionization-era Quasars at 6.3 < z <= 7.64

Kavli Affiliate: Linhua Jiang | First 5 Authors: Jinyi Yang, Feige Wang, Xiaohui Fan, Aaron J. Barth, Joseph F. Hennawi | Summary: We report the results of near-infrared spectroscopic observations of 37 quasars in the redshift range $6.3< zle7.64$, including 32 quasars at $z>6.5$, forming the largest quasar near-infrared spectral sample at this redshift. The […]

Physics-Augmented Learning: A New Paradigm Beyond Physics-Informed Learning

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Ziming Liu, Yunyue Chen, Yuanqi Du, Max Tegmark, | Summary: Integrating physical inductive biases into machine learning can improve model generalizability. We generalize the successful paradigm of physics-informed learning (PIL) into a more general framework that also includes what we term physics-augmented learning (PAL). PIL and PAL […]

Sagnac interferometry for high-sensitivity optical measurements of spin-orbit torque

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel C. Ralph | First 5 Authors: Saba Karimeddiny, Thow Min Cham, Daniel C. Ralph, Yunqiu Kelly Luo, | Summary: We adapt Sagnac interferometry for magneto-optic Kerr effect measurements of spin-orbit-torque-induced magnetic tilting in thin-film magnetic samples. The high sensitivity of Sagnac interferometry permits for the first time optical quantification of spin-orbit torque […]

Probing Particle Acceleration through Gamma-ray Solar Flare Observations

Kavli Affiliate: Nicola Omodei | First 5 Authors: Melissa Pesce-Rollins, Nicola Omodei, Vahe’ Petrosian, Francesco Longo, | Summary: High-energy solar flares have shown to have at least two distinct phases: prompt-impulsive and delayed-gradual. Identifying the mechanism responsible for accelerating the electrons and ions and the site at which it occurs during these two phases is […]

Scalarized neutron stars in massive scalar-tensor gravity: X-ray pulsars and tidal deformability

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Zexin Hu, Yong Gao, Rui Xu, Lijing Shao, | Summary: Neutron stars (NSs) in scalar-tensor theories of gravitation with the phenomenon of spontaneous scalarization can develop significant deviations from general relativity. Cases with a massless scalar were studied widely. Here we compare the NS scalarizations in the […]
