Kavli Affiliate: Christopher J. Burke | First 5 Authors: Natalia M. Guerrero, S. Seager, Chelsea X. Huang, Andrew Vanderburg, Aylin Garcia Soto | Summary: We present 2,241 exoplanet candidates identified with data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) during its two-year prime mission. We list these candidates in the TESS Objects of Interest (TOI) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Yuji Tachikawa, , , , | Summary: Spacetime theories obtained from perturbative string theory constructions are automatically free of perturbative anomalies, but it is not settled whether they are always free of global anomalies. Here we discuss a possible $mathbb{Z}_{24}$-valued pure gravitational anomaly of heterotic compactifications down […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Ann Zabludoff, Iair Arcavi, Stephanie La Massa, Hagai B. Perets, Benny Trakhtenbrot | Summary: Recent claimed detections of tidal disruption events (TDEs) in multi-wavelength data have opened potential new windows into the evolution and properties of otherwise dormant supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the centres of galaxies. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | First 5 Authors: James O’Sullivan, Oscar W. Kennedy, Kamanasish Debnath, Joseph Alexander, Christoph W. Zollitsch | Summary: As in conventional computing, key attributes of quantum memories are high storage density and, crucially, random access, or the ability to read from or write to an arbitrarily chosen register. However, achieving such […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ting Xu | First 5 Authors: Ting Xu, Zi-Shuai Wang, Xuan-Hua Li, Wei E. I. Sha, | Summary: Understanding and quantifying the main loss factors affecting the power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells are urgently needed. In this work, based on semiconductor physics, the expressions of bulk and surface recombination currents are […]
Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Toshiya Namikawa, Atsushi Naruko, Ryo Saito, Atsushi Taruya, Daisuke Yamauchi | Summary: We develop a systematic and unified approach to estimate all possible secondary (i.e. non-primordial) nonlinear effects to the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization, named curve-of-sight integration approach. In this approach, the Boltzmann equation for polarized […]
Kavli Affiliate: Edward W. Kolb | First 5 Authors: Edward W. Kolb, Andrew J. Long, Evan McDonough, , | Summary: We extend the swampland from effective field theories (EFTs) inconsistent with quantum gravity to EFTs inconsistent with quantum supergravity. This enlarges the swampland to include EFTs that become inconsistent when the gravitino is quantized. We […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kerry Vahala | First 5 Authors: Heming Wang, Boqiang Shen, Yan Yu, Zhiquan Yuan, Chengying Bao | Summary: Dissipative soliton Kerr frequency combs in microresonators have recently been demonstrated with the self-injection locking process. They have the advantage of turnkey deterministic comb generation and simplifying dark soliton generation in the normal dispersion regime. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Biao Huang | First 5 Authors: Yitao Yan, Jie Bao, Biao Huang, , | Summary: This paper formulates a framework for the analysis and distributed control of interconnected systems from the behavioural perspective. The discussions are carried out from the viewpoint of set theory and the results are completely representation-free. The core of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Haifeng Ji, Feng Wang, Jinru Chen, Zhilin Li, | Summary: This paper presents a new parameter free partially penalized immersed finite element method and convergence analysis for solving second order elliptic interface problems. A lifting operator is introduced on interface edges to ensure the coercivity of the […]
