Kavli Affiliate: Nobuhiko Katayama | First 5 Authors: Ryota Takaku, Qi Wen, Scott Cray, Mark Devlin, Simon Dicker | Summary: We fabricated a 302 mm diameter low-pass filter made of alumina that has an anti-reflection coating (ARC) made with laser-ablated sub-wavelength structures (SWS). The filter has been integrated into and is operating with the MUSTANG2 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Holz | First 5 Authors: Douglas Tucker, Matthew Wiesner, Sahar Allam, Marcelle Soares-Santos, Clecio de Bom | Summary: On 2019 August 14 at 21:10:39 UTC, the LIGO/Virgo Collaboration (LVC) detected a possible neutron star-black hole merger (NSBH), the first ever identified. An extensive search for an optical counterpart of this event, designated […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Nishant Mishra, Nickolay Gnedin, , , | Summary: We explore the evolution of the flux power spectrum in the Cosmic Reionization On Computers (CROC) simulations. We find that, contrary to some previous studies, the shape of the flux power spectrum is rather insensitive to the timing of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Stephan S. Meyer | First 5 Authors: Craig Hogan, Stephan S. Meyer, , , | Summary: We consider the hypothesis that nonlocal, omnidirectional, causally-coherent quantum entanglement of inflationary horizons may account for some well-known measured anomalies of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy on large angular scales. It is shown that causal coherence can […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Tapio Schneider, Oliver R. A. Dunbar, Jinlong Wu, Lucas Böttcher, Dmitry Burov | Summary: Testing, contact tracing, and isolation (TTI) is an epidemic management and control approach that is difficult to implement at scale. Here we demonstrate a scalable improvement to TTI that uses data assimilation (DA) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Maxime Dupont, Joel E. Moore, , , | Summary: Quantum criticality emerges from the collective behavior of many interacting quantum particles, often at the transition between different phases of matter. It is one of the cornerstones of condensed matter physics, which we access on noisy intermediate-scale […]
Kavli Affiliate: Grace Xing | First 5 Authors: Len van Deurzen, Ryan Page, Vladimir Protasenko, Huili, Xing | Summary: We demonstrate the first optically pumped sub-300 nm UV laser structures grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on single-crystal bulk AlN. The edge-emitting laser structures fabricated with the AlN/AlGaN heterostructures exhibit multi-mode emission with peak gain […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tom Melia | First 5 Authors: John A. Tomsick, Steven E. Boggs, Andreas Zoglauer, Eric Wulf, Lee Mitchell | Summary: The Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) is a 0.2-5 MeV Compton telescope capable of imaging, spectroscopy, and polarimetry of astrophysical sources. Such capabilities are made possible by COSI’s germanium cross-strip detectors, which provide […]
Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Lalitwadee Kawinwanichakij, John D. Silverman, Xuheng Ding, Angelo George, Ivana Damjanov | Summary: We present the galaxy size-mass ($R_{e}-M_{ast}$) distributions using a stellar-mass complete sample of $sim1.5$ million galaxies, covering $sim100$ deg$^2$, with $log(M_{ast}/M_{odot})>10.2~(9.2)$ over the redshift range $0.2<z<1.0$ $(z<0.6)$ from the second public data release […]
Kavli Affiliate: J. Todd Hoeksema | First 5 Authors: Ana Belén Griñón-Marín, Adur Pastor Yabar, Yang Liu, J. Todd Hoeksema, Aimee Norton | Summary: A spectral line inversion code, Very Fast Inversion of the Stokes Vector (VFISV), has been used since May 2010 to infer the solar atmospheric parameters from the spectropolarimetric observations taken by […]
