A relativistic model of b-EMRI systems and their gravitational radiation

Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Yucheng Yin, Josh Mathews, Alvin J. K. Chua, Xian Chen, | Summary: A binary extreme-mass-ratio inspiral (b-EMRI) is a hierarchical triple system consisting of a stellar-mass binary black hole (BBH) orbiting a central Kerr supermassive black hole (SMBH). Although predicted by several astrophysical models, b-EMRIs pose a […]

Dubrovin conjecture and the second structure connection

Kavli Affiliate: Todor Milanov | First 5 Authors: John Alexander Cruz Morales, Todor Milanov, , , | Summary: We give a reformulation of the Dubrovin conjecture about the semisimplicity of quantum cohomology in terms of the so-called second structure connection of quantum cohomology. The key ingredient in our work is the notion of a twisted […]

Effects of orbital eccentricity on continuous gravitational waveforms from triaxially-deformed precessing neutron stars in tight binaries

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Wen-Fan Feng, Tan Liu, Yan Wang, Lijing Shao, | Summary: The successful detection of continuous gravitational waves (GWs) from spinning neutron stars (NSs) will shape our understanding of the physical properties of dense matter under extreme conditions. Binary population synthesis simulations show that forthcoming space-borne GW detectors […]

Conditional Motional Squeezing of an Optomechanical Oscillator Approaching the Quantum Regime

Kavli Affiliate: Nergis Mavalvala | First 5 Authors: Benjamin B. Lane, Junxin Chen, Ronald E. Pagano, Scott Aronson, Garrett D. Cole | Summary: Squeezed mechanical states are a valuable tool for quantum sensing and error correction in quantum computing, and a pivotal platform for tests of fundamental physics. Recently, solid state mechanical oscillators have been […]

Search for non-virialized axions with 3.3-4.2 $μ$eV mass at selected resolving powers

Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: A. T. Hipp, A. Quiskamp, T. J. Caligiure, J. R. Gleason, Y. Han | Summary: The Axion Dark Matter eXperiment is sensitive to narrow axion flows, given axions compose a fraction of the dark matter with a non-negligible local density. Detecting these low-velocity dispersion flows requires a […]
