Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Frieman | First 5 Authors: Qian Yang, Yue Shen, Xin Liu, Michel Aguena, James Annis | Summary: The size of the dust torus in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and their high-luminosity counterparts, quasars, can be inferred from the time delay between UV/optical accretion disk continuum variability and the response in the mid-infrared […]
Kavli Affiliate: J. Todd Hoeksema | First 5 Authors: J. Todd Hoeksema, William P. Abbett, David J. Bercik, Mark C. M. Cheung, Marc L. DeRosa | Summary: The Coronal Global Evolutionary Model (CGEM) provides data-driven simulations of the magnetic field in the solar corona to better understand the build-up of magnetic energy that leads to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Kento Furukawa, Shunsaku Nagasawa, Lindsay Glesener, Miho Katsuragawa, Shin’ichiro Takeda | Summary: We have evaluated the performance of a fine pitch CdTe Double-sided Strip Detector (CdTe-DSD), which was originally developed for the focal plane detector of a hard X-ray telescope to observe the Sun. The detector has […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tom Melia | First 5 Authors: Angelo Esposito, Emma Geoffray, Tom Melia, , | Summary: We present a relativistic effective field theory for the interaction between acoustic and gapped phonons in the limit of a small gap. We show that, while the former are the Goldstone modes associated with the spontaneous breaking of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lindsey E. Bleem | First 5 Authors: Adam B. Mantz, Steven W. Allen, R. Glenn Morris, Rebecca E. A. Canning, Matthew Bayliss | Summary: We present results from a 577 ks XMM-Newton observation of SPT-CL J0459-4947, the most distant cluster detected in the South Pole Telescope 2500 square degree (SPT-SZ) survey, and currently […]
Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Cecilia Huertas-Cerdeira, Andres Goza, John E. Sader, Tim Colonius, Morteza Gharib | Summary: The dynamics of a cantilever plate clamped at its trailing edge and placed at a moderate angle ($alpha leq 30^{circ}$) to a uniform flow are investigated experimentally and numerically, and a large experimental data […]
Kavli Affiliate: Savdeep Sethi | First 5 Authors: T. Daniel Brennan, Christian Ferko, Emil Martinec, Savdeep Sethi, | Summary: We show that the $T overline{T}$ deformation of two-dimensional quantum field theory on $mathrm{AdS}_2$ is well-defined and solvable at the quantum level. Flow equations for the energy spectrum and partition function are derived in analogy with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Abigail Vieregg | First 5 Authors: Stephanie Wissel, Andrés Romero-Wolf, Harm Schoorlemmer, Washington R. Carvalho Jr., Jaime Alvarez-Muñiz | Summary: Tau neutrinos are expected to comprise roughly one third of both the astrophysical and cosmogenic neutrino flux, but currently the flavor ratio is poorly constrained and the expected flux at energies above $10^{17}$ […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Crisler | First 5 Authors: Liron Barak, Itay M. Bloch, Mariano Cababie, Gustavo Cancelo, Luke Chaplinsky | Summary: We present the first direct-detection search for eV-to-GeV dark matter using a new ~2-gram high-resistivity Skipper-CCD from a dedicated fabrication batch that was optimized for dark-matter searches. Using 24 days of data acquired in […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Spergel | First 5 Authors: Neelima Sehgal, Simone Aiola, Yashar Akrami, Kaustuv moni Basu, Michael Boylan-Kolchin | Summary: CMB-HD is a proposed ultra-deep (0.5 uk-arcmin), high-resolution (15 arcseconds) millimeter-wave survey over half the sky that would answer many outstanding questions in both fundamental physics of the Universe and astrophysics. This survey would […]
