Enabling Kilonova Science with Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope

Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Igor Andreoni, Michael W. Coughlin, Alexander W. Criswell, Mattia Bulla, Andrew Toivonen | Summary: Binary neutron star mergers and neutron star-black hole mergers are multi-messenger sources that can be detected in gravitational waves and in electromagnetic radiation. The low electron fraction of neutron star merger ejecta […]

A fast radio burst localized at detection to a galactic disk using very long baseline interferometry

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Tomas Cassanelli, Calvin Leung, Pranav Sanghavi, Juan Mena-Parra, Savannah Cary | Summary: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration, luminous radio transients of extragalactic origin. These events have been used to trace the baryonic structure of the Universe using their dispersion measure (DM) assuming that the contribution […]

The Classical Equations of Motion of Quantized Gauge Theories, Part 2: Electromagnetism

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Melia | First 5 Authors: David E. Kaplan, Tom Melia, Surjeet Rajendran, , | Summary: In this and companion papers, we show that quantum field theories with gauge symmetries permit a broader class of classical dynamics than typically assumed. In this article, we show that the quantization of electromagnetism permits the existence […]

Giant anisotropic band flattening in twisted $Γ$ valley semiconductor bilayers

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Huan Wang, Zhaochen Liu, Yadong Jiang, Jing Wang, | Summary: We propose a theory of anisotropic band flattening in moir’e systems at the $Gamma$ valley. We find that in twisted anisotropic two-dimensional crystals with a rectangular unit cell of $C_{2z}$ or mirror symmetries, a larger effective mass […]
