Kavli Affiliate: Edmund Bertschinger | First 5 Authors: David M. Hernandez, Edmund Bertschinger, , , | Summary: Calculating the long term solution of ordinary differential equations, such as those of the $N$-body problem, is central to understanding a wide range of dynamics in astrophysics, from galaxy formation to planetary chaos. Because generally no analytic solution […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi Wesley Masui | First 5 Authors: Kiyoshi Wesley Masui, Ue-Li Pen, Neil Turok, , | Summary: We show that three-dimensional information is critical to discerning the effects of parity violation in the primordial gravity-wave background. If present, helical gravity waves induce parity-violating correlations in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) between parity-odd polarization […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Goeke | First 5 Authors: Akshay Suresh, Rohit Sharma, Divya Oberoi, Srijan B. Das, Victor Pankratius | Summary: Low radio frequency solar observations using the Murchison Widefield Array have recently revealed the presence of numerous weak, short-lived and narrow-band emission features, even during moderately quiet solar conditions. These non-thermal features occur at […]
Kavli Affiliate: Edward Morgan | First 5 Authors: Natasha Hurley-Walker, Joseph R. Callingham, Paul J. Hancock, Thomas M. O. Franzen, Luke Hindson | Summary: Using the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), the low-frequency Square Kilometre Array (SKA1 LOW) precursor located in Western Australia, we have completed the GaLactic and Extragalactic All-sky MWA (GLEAM) survey, and present […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi Wesley Masui | First 5 Authors: Yu-Wei Liao, Tzu-Ching Chang, Cheng-Yu Kuo, Kiyoshi Wesley Masui, Niels Oppermann | Summary: Polarization leakage of foreground synchrotron emission is a critical issue in HI intensity mapping experiments. While the sought-after HI emission is unpolarized, polarized foregrounds such as Galactic and extragalactic synchrotron radiation, if coupled […]
Kavli Affiliate: John W. Belcher | First 5 Authors: Hui Li, Chi Wang, Jiansen He, Lingqian Zhang, John D. Richardson | Summary: Nonlinear cascade of low-frequency Alfvenic fluctuations (AFs) is regarded as one candidate of the energy sources to heat plasma during the non-adiabatic expansion of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs). However, AFs inside ICMEs […]
Kavli Affiliate: Norbert Schulz | First 5 Authors: Jeroen Homan, Joseph Neilsen, Jessamyn L. Allen, Deepto Chakrabarty, Rob Fender | Summary: Recent work on jets and disk winds in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) suggests that they are to a large extent mutually exclusive, with jets observed in spectrally hard states and disk winds observed in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Edmund Bertschinger | First 5 Authors: Nina Abramzon, Patrice Benson, Edmund Bertschinger, Susan Blessing, Geraldine L. Cochran | Summary: Initiatives to increase the number, persistence, and success of women in physics in the US reach pre-teen girls through senior women. Programs exist at both the local and national levels. In addition, researchers have […]
Kavli Affiliate: Catherine Grant | First 5 Authors: Xiaobo Li, Shu Zhang, Catherine Grant, Matteo Guainazzi, Eric Miller | Summary: We summarize the outcome of the 10th meeting of the International Astronomical Consortium for High Energy Calibration (IACHEC), held in Beijing (People’s Republic of China) in April 2015. Over 80 scientists directly involved in the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi Wesley Masui | First 5 Authors: Kiyoshi Wesley Masui, Kris Sigurdson, , , | Summary: We propose that "standard pings", brief broadband radio impulses, can be used to study the three-dimensional clustering of matter in the Universe even in the absence of redshift information. The dispersion of radio waves as they travel […]
