Kavli Affiliate: Herman Marshall | First 5 Authors: Paolo Soffitta, Niccolò Bucciantini, Eugene Churazov, Enrico Costa, Michal Dovciak | Summary: Since the birth of X-ray Astronomy, spectacular advances have been seen in the imaging, spectroscopic and timing studies of the hot and violent X-ray Universe, and further leaps forward are expected in the future. On […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Kim V. Berghaus, Peter W. Graham, David E. Kaplan, , | Summary: Slow-roll inflation is a successful paradigm. However we find that even a small coupling of the inflaton to other light fields can dramatically alter the dynamics and predictions of inflation. As an example, the […]
Kavli Affiliate: R. G. McMahon | First 5 Authors: Estelle Pons, Richard G. McMahon, Manda Banerji, Sophie L. Reed, | Summary: We present XMM-Newton X-ray observations and analysis of three DES $z>6.5$ quasars (VDES J0020$-$3653 at $z=6.824$, VDES J0244$-$5008 at $z=6.724$ and VDES J0224$-$4711 at $z=6.526$) and six other quasars with $6.438 < z < […]
Kavli Affiliate: Todor Milanov | First 5 Authors: Jipeng Cheng, Todor Milanov, , , | Summary: Fano orbifold lines are classified by the Dynkin diagrams of type $A,D,$ and $E$. It is known that the corresponding total descendant potential is a tau-function of an appropriate Kac–Wakimoto hierarchy. It is also known that in the A-case […]
Kavli Affiliate: Brad Ramshaw | First 5 Authors: Jaron Kent-Dobias, Michael Matty, Brad Ramshaw, , | Summary: We develop a phenomenological mean field theory describing the hidden order phase in URu$_{text2}$Si$_{text2}$ as a nematic of the $text B_{text{1g}}$ representation staggered along the $c$-axis. Several experimental features are reproduced by this theory: the topology of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: John D. Richardson | First 5 Authors: Jamie S. Rankin, David J. McComas, John D. Richardson, Nathan A. Schwadron, | Summary: In mid-2012, a GMIR observed by Voyager 2 crossed through the heliosheath and collided with the heliopause, generating a pressure pulse that propagated into the very local interstellar medium. The effects of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael L. Roukes | First 5 Authors: Olli-Pentti Saira, Matthew H. Matheny, Raj Katti, Warren Fon, Gregory Wimsatt | Summary: We implement a thermal-fluctuation driven logical bit reset on a superconducting flux logic cell. We show that the logical state of the system can be continuously monitored with only a small perturbation to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sarah Church | First 5 Authors: Che-Yu Chen, Shaye Storm, Zhi-Yun Li, Lee G. Mundy, David Frayer | Summary: We present the first results of high-spectral resolution (0.023 km/s) N$_2$H$^+$ observations of dense gas dynamics at core scales (~0.01 pc) using the recently commissioned Argus instrument on the Green Bank Telescope (GBT). While […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich B. Wiesner | First 5 Authors: Preston Sutton, Peter Bennington, Shrayesh N. Patel, Morgan Stefik, Ulrich B. Wiesner | Summary: Solid polymer electrolytes for lithium batteries promise improvements in safety and energy density if their conductivity can be increased. Nanostructured block copolymer electrolytes specifically have the potential to provide both good ionic […]
Kavli Affiliate: R. G. McMahon | First 5 Authors: Yiping Shu, Sergey E. Koposov, N. Wyn Evans, Vasily Belokurov, Richard G. McMahon | Summary: We present two catalogues of active galactic nucleus (AGN) candidates selected from the latest data of two all-sky surveys — Data Release 2 (DR2) of the emph{Gaia} mission and the unWISE […]
