Kavli Affiliate: Michael McDonald | First 5 Authors: Michael Reefe, Michael Reefe, , , | Summary: We present integral field unit observations of the Phoenix Cluster with the JWST Mid-infrared Instrument’s Medium Resolution Spectrometer (MIRI/MRS). We focus this study on the molecular gas, dust, and star formation in the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG). We use […]
Kavli Affiliate: David A. Muller | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: The discovery of superconductivity under high pressure in Ruddlesden-Popper phases of bulk nickelates has sparked great interest in stabilizing ambient pressure superconductivity in thin-film form using epitaxial strain. Recently, signs of superconductivity have been observed in compressively strained bilayer nickelate […]
Kavli Affiliate: George R. Ricker | First 5 Authors: Marc Hon, Saul Rappaport, Avi Shporer, Andrew Vanderburg, Karen A. Collins | Summary: We report the discovery of BD+05$,$4868$,$Ab, a transiting exoplanet orbiting a bright ($V=10.16$) K-dwarf (TIC 466376085) with a period of 1.27 days. Observations from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) reveal variable transit […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: In the era of the next-generation gravitational-wave detectors, signal overlaps will become prevalent due to high detection rate and long signal duration, posing significant challenges to data analysis. While effective algorithms are being developed, there still lacks an integrated understanding on […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert M. Wald | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: We consider an experimentalist, Alice, who creates a quantum superposition of a charged or massive body outside of a black hole (or, more generally, in the presence of a Killing horizon). It was previously shown that emission of soft photons/gravitons […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Bin Qian, Bin Qian, , , | Summary: Consider the nonlinear stochastic heat equation $$ fracpartial u (t,x)partial t=fracpartial^2 u (t,x)partial x^2+ sigma(u (t,x))dotW(t,x),quad t> 0,, xin mathbbR, $$ where $dot W$ is a Gaussian noise which is white in time and has the covariance of a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj R. Pasham | First 5 Authors: Thomas Wevers, Muryel Guolo, Sean Lockwood, Andrew Mummery, Dheeraj R. Pasham | Summary: X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are a novel mode of variability in nearby galactic nuclei whose origin remains unknown. Their multi-wavelength properties are poorly constrained, as studies have focused almost entirely on the X-ray […]
Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Maxim Chernodub, Maxim Chernodub, , , | Summary: We argue that rotation of a thin superconducting cylinder in the presence of a magnetic field can increase the critical temperature of the superconducting phase transition substantially. The phenomenon originates from interaction energy of the dipole magnetic moment of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ronald A. Remillard | First 5 Authors: Megan Masterson, Megan Masterson, , , | Summary: Recent discoveries from time-domain surveys are defying our expectations for how matter accretes onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs). The increased rate of short-timescale, repetitive events around SMBHs, including the newly-discovered quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs), are garnering further interest in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: We discuss the landscape of flavor physics at the Circular Electron-Positron Collider (CEPC), based on the nominal luminosity outlined in its Technical Design Report. The CEPC is designed to operate in multiple modes to address a variety of tasks. At the […]
