Kavli Affiliate: Albert Stebbins | First 5 Authors: Anh Phan, Santanu Das, Albert Stebbins, Peter Timbie, Reza Ansari | Summary: Hydrogen intensity mapping is a new field in astronomy that promises to make three-dimensional maps of the matter distribution of the Universe using the redshifted $21,textrm{cm}$ line of neutral hydrogen gas (HI). Several ongoing and […]
Kavli Affiliate: John E. Carlstrom | First 5 Authors: Ramesh Narayan, Daniel C. M. Palumbo, Michael D. Johnson, Zachary Gelles, Elizabeth Himwich | Summary: Synchrotron radiation from hot gas near a black hole results in a polarized image. The image polarization is determined by effects including the orientation of the magnetic field in the emitting […]
Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Lam Hui, Austin Joyce, Riccardo Penco, Luca Santoni, Adam R. Solomon | Summary: It is well known that asymptotically flat black holes in general relativity have a vanishing static, conservative tidal response. We show that this is a result of linearly realized symmetries governing static (spin 0,1,2) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jonathan L. Rosner | First 5 Authors: Marek Karliner, Jonathan L. Rosner, , , | Summary: We comment on the recent evidence by the LHCb Collaboration for a structure in the $J/psi Lambda$ final state produced in the decay $Xi^-_b to J/psi Lambda K^-$, with minimal quark content $c bar c u d […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexander Ji | First 5 Authors: Tyler Nelson, Yuan-Sen Ting, Keith Hawkins, Alexander Ji, Harshil Kamdar | Summary: Comoving pairs, even at the separations of $mathcal{O}(10^6),$AU, are a predicted reservoir of conatal stars. We present detailed chemical abundances of 62 stars in 31 comoving pairs with separations of $10^2 – 10^7,$AU and 3D […]
Kavli Affiliate: Clarence Chang | First 5 Authors: Kristin Dona, Jesse Liu, Noah Kurinsky, David Miller, Pete Barry | Summary: Dedicated spectrometers for terahertz radiation with [0.3, 30] THz frequencies using traditional optomechanical interferometry are substantially less common than their infrared and microwave counterparts. This paper presents the design and initial performance measurements of a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Marcela Carena | First 5 Authors: Sebastian Baum, Marcela Carena, Nausheen R. Shah, Carlos E. M. Wagner, | Summary: A new measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment has been reported by the Fermilab Muon g-2 collaboration and shows a $4.2sigma$ departure from the most precise and reliable calculation of this quantity in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Angela V. Olinto | First 5 Authors: Thomas C. Paul, Sarah T. Reese, Luis A. Anchordoqui, Angela V. Olinto, Thomas Y. Chen | Summary: Macroscopic dark matter (or macro) provides a broad class of alternative candidates to particle dark matter. These candidates would transfer energy primarily through elastic scattering, and this linear energy […]
Kavli Affiliate: Marcela Carena | First 5 Authors: Marcela Carena, Claudius Krause, Zhen Liu, Yikun Wang, | Summary: Electroweak symmetry non-restoration up to high temperatures well above the electroweak scale offers new alternatives for baryogenesis. We propose a new approach for electroweak symmetry non-restoration via an inert Higgs sector that couples to the Standard Model […]
Kavli Affiliate: Brian Nord | First 5 Authors: Priyamvada Natarajan, Kwok Sun Tang, Robert McGibbon, Sadegh Khochfar, Brian Nord | Summary: We present QuasarNet, a novel research platform for the data-driven investigation of super-massive black hole (SMBH) populations. While SMBH data sets — observations and simulations — have grown rapidly in complexity and abundance, our […]
