HD 183579b: A Warm Sub-Neptune Transiting a Solar Twin Detected by TESS

Kavli Affiliate: Edward H. Morgan | First 5 Authors: Tianjun Gan, Megan Bedell, Sharon Xuesong Wang, Daniel Foreman-Mackey, Jorge Meléndez | Summary: We report the discovery and characterization of a transiting warm sub-Neptune planet around the nearby bright ($V=8.75$ mag, $K=7.15$ mag) solar twin HD 183579, delivered by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The […]

Models of Hidden Purity

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Frank Wilczek, , , , | Summary: I extend, apply, and generalize a model of a quantum radiator proposed by Griffiths to construct models of radiation fields that exhibit high entropy for long periods of time but approach pure states asymptotically. The models, which are fully consistent […]

Blueshifted hydrogen emission and shock wave of RR Lyrae variables in SDSS and LAMOST

Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Xiao-Wei Duan, Xiaodian Chen, Weijia Sun, Licai Deng, Huawei Zhang | Summary: Hydrogen emissions of RR Lyrae variables are the imprints of shock waves traveling through their atmospheres. We develop a pattern recognition algorithm, which is then applied to single-epoch spectra of SDSS and LAMOST. These two […]

Universal scaling of shear thickening transitions

Kavli Affiliate: Itai Cohen | First 5 Authors: Meera Ramaswamy, Itay Griniasty, Danilo B. Liarte, Abhishek Shetty, Eleni Katifori | Summary: Nearly all dense suspensions undergo dramatic and abrupt thickening transitions in their flow behaviour when sheared at high stresses. Such transitions occur when the dominant interactions between the suspended particles shift from hydrodynamic to […]

Mock catalogues of emission line galaxies based on the local mass density in dark-matter only simulations

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Takada | First 5 Authors: Ken Osato, Takahiro Nishimichi, Masahiro Takada, , | Summary: The high-precision measurement of spatial clustering of emission line galaxies (ELGs) is a primary objective for upcoming cosmological spectroscopic surveys. The source of strong emission of ELGs is nebular emission from surrounding ionized gas irradiated by massive short-lived […]

An ACA Survey of [CI] $^3P_1-^3P_0$, CO $J=4-3$, and Dust Continuum in Nearby U/LIRG

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Tomonari Michiyama, Toshiki Saito, Ken-ichi Tadaki, Junko Ueda, Ming-Yang Zhuang | Summary: We present the results of surveying [CI] $^3P_1-^3P_0$, $^{12}$CO $J=4-3$, and 630 $mu$m dust continuum emission for 36 nearby ultra/luminous infrared galaxies (U/LIRGs) using the Band 8 receiver mounted on the Atacama Compact Array (ACA) […]

Strong Negative Electrothermal Feedback in Thermal Kinetic Inductance Detectors

Kavli Affiliate: James J. Bock | First 5 Authors: Shubh Agrawal, Bryan Steinbach, James J. Bock, Clifford Frez, Lorenzo Minutolo | Summary: We demonstrate strong negative electrothermal feedback accelerating and linearizing the response of a thermal kinetic inductance detector (TKID). TKIDs are a proposed highly multiplexable replacement to transition-edge sensors and measure power through the […]

Entanglement phase transitions in random stabilizer tensor networks

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew P. A. Fisher | First 5 Authors: Zhi-Cheng Yang, Yaodong Li, Matthew P. A. Fisher, Xiao Chen, | Summary: We explore a class of random tensor network models with “stabilizer” local tensors which we name Random Stabilizer Tensor Networks (RSTNs). For RSTNs defined on a two-dimensional square lattice, we perform extensive numerical […]

Active microphase separation in mixtures of microtubules and tip-accumulating molecular motors

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel J. Needleman | First 5 Authors: Bezia Lemma, Noah P. Mitchell, Radhika Subramanian, Daniel J. Needleman, Zvonimir Dogic | Summary: Mixtures of microtubules and molecular motors form active materials with diverse dynamical behaviors that vary based on their constituents’ molecular properties. We map the non-equilibrium phase diagram of microtubules and tip-accumulating kinesin-4 […]
