Direct Measurement of Thermalization to Rayleigh-Jeans Distribution in Optical Beam Self-Cleaning

Posted by klaurent December 22, 2020Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wise | First 5 Authors: Hamed Pourbeyram, Pavel Sidorenko, Fan Wu, Logan Wright, Demetrios Christodoulides | Summary: An equilibrium thermodynamic framework that describes highly-multimode optical processes was introduced recently. This theory predicts the outcomes of complex linear and nonlinear multimode interactions based on thermodynamic principles and provides analytic results for the distributions […]

Coherent mechanical noise cancellation and cooperativity competition in optomechanical arrays

Posted by klaurent December 21, 2020Delft

Kavli Affiliate: Simon Groblacher | First 5 Authors: Matthijs H. J. de Jong, Jie Li, Claus Gärtner, Richard A. Norte, Simon Gröblacher | Summary: Studying the interplay between multiple coupled mechanical resonators is a promising new direction in the field of optomechanics. Understanding the dynamics of the interaction can lead to rich new effects, such […]

Some comments on 6d global gauge anomalies

Posted by klaurent December 21, 2020Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Yasunori Lee, Yuji Tachikawa, , , | Summary: Global gauge anomalies in $6d$ associated with non-trivial homotopy groups $pi_6(G)$ for $G=SU(2)$, $SU(3)$, and $G_2$ were computed and utilized in the past. In the modern bordism point of view of anomalies, however, they come from the bordism groups […]

Optical Design of the EXperiment for Cryogenic Large-Aperture Intensity Mapping (EXCLAIM)

Posted by klaurent December 18, 2020Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey McMahon | First 5 Authors: Thomas Essinger-Hileman, Trevor Oxholm, Gage Siebert, Peter Ade, Christopher Anderson | Summary: This work describes the optical design of the EXperiment for Cryogenic Large-Aperture Intensity Mapping (EXCLAIM). EXCLAIM is a balloon-borne telescope that will measure integrated line emission from carbon monoxide (CO) at redshifts z < 1 […]

Full parity phase diagram of a proximitized nanowire island

Posted by klaurent December 18, 2020Delft

Kavli Affiliate: L. P. Kouwenhoven | First 5 Authors: J. Shen, G. W. Winkler, F. Borsoi, S. Heedt, V. Levajac | Summary: We measure the charge periodicity of Coulomb blockade conductance oscillations of a hybrid InSb-Al island as a function of gate voltage and parallel magnetic field. The periodicity changes from $2e$ to $1e$ at […]

Understanding the Impacts of Stellar Companions on Planet Formation and Evolution: A Survey of Stellar and Planetary Companions within 25 pc

Posted by klaurent December 16, 2020Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Lea A. Hirsch, Lee Rosenthal, Benjamin J. Fulton, Andrew W. Howard, David R. Ciardi | Summary: We explore the impact of outer stellar companions on the occurrence rate of giant planets detected with radial velocities. We searched for stellar and planetary companions to a volume-limited sample of […]

Observational Evidence for Enhanced Black Hole Accretion in Giant Elliptical Galaxies

Posted by klaurent December 16, 2020MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Michael McDonald, Brian R. McNamara, Michael S. Calzadilla, Chien-Ting Chen, Massimo Gaspari | Summary: We present a study of the relationship between black hole accretion rate (BHAR) and star formation rate (SFR) in a sample of giant elliptical galaxies. These galaxies, which live at the centers of […]
