A New Mechanism for Primordial Black Hole Formation from QCD Axion

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Shuailiang Ge, Jinhui Guo, Jia Liu, , | Summary: We present a novel mechanism for the primordial black hole (PBH) production within the QCD axion framework. We take the case where the Peccei-Quinn symmetry breaks during inflation, resulting in a $N_{rm DW}=1$ string-wall network that re-enters horizon […]

Gas clumping in the outskirts of galaxy clusters, an assessment of the sensitivity of STAR-X

Kavli Affiliate: Marshall W. Bautz | First 5 Authors: Christian T. Norseth, Daniel R. Wik, John A. ZuHone, Eric D. Miller, Marshall W. Bautz | Summary: In the outskirts of galaxy clusters, entropy profiles measured from X-ray observations of the hot intracluster medium (ICM) drops off unexpectedly. One possible explanation for this effect is gas […]

Four New Compact Triply Eclipsing Triples found with Gaia and TESS

Kavli Affiliate: Saul A. Rappaport | First 5 Authors: Donát R. Czavalinga, Tamás Borkovits, Tibor Mitnyan, Saul A. Rappaport, András Pál | Summary: This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of four triply eclipsing triple star systems, namely TIC 88206187, TIC 14839347, TIC 298714297, and TIC 66893949. The four systems with third-body eclipses were found in […]

NLTE analysis for Y I and Y II in atmospheres of F-G-K stars

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Sofya Alexeeva, Yu Wang, Gang Zhao, Feng Wang, Yong Wu | Summary: The non-local thermodynamical equilibrium (NLTE) line formation of Y I and Y II is considered in 1D LTE model atmospheres of F-G-K-type stars. The model atom was constructed with the most up-to-date atomic data, including […]

Steering-induced phase transition in measurement-only quantum circuits

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Dongheng Qian, Jing Wang, , , | Summary: Competing measurements alone can give rise to distinct phases characterized by entanglement entropy$unicode{x2013}$such as the volume law phase, symmetry-breaking (SB) phase, and symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phase$unicode{x2013}$that can only be discerned through quantum trajectories, making them challenging to observe experimentally. […]

Fermi constraints on the ejecta speed and prompt emission region of the distant GRB 220101A

Kavli Affiliate: Nicola Omodei | First 5 Authors: Lorenzo Scotton, Frédéric Piron, Nicola Omodei, Niccolò Di Lalla, Elisabetta Bissaldi | Summary: GRB 220101A is the most distant gamma-ray burst detected by the Fermi-LAT to date, at a redshift z = 4.618. It is also a very energetic event, with an equivalent isotropic energy of $3.6times10^{54}$ […]

A large population of strongly lensed faint submillimetre galaxies in future dark energy surveys inferred from JWST imaging

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: James Pearson, Stephen Serjeant, Wei-Hao Wang, Zhen-Kai Gao, Arif Babul | Summary: Bright galaxies at sub-millimetre wavelengths from Herschel are now well known to be predominantly strongly gravitationally lensed. The same models that successfully predicted this strongly lensed population also predict about one percent of faint […]
