Kavli Affiliate: John Silverman | First 5 Authors: Jenny Greene, Rachel Bezanson, Masami Ouchi, John Silverman, the PFS Galaxy Evolution Working Group | Summary: We present the Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) Galaxy Evolution pillar of the 360-night PFS Subaru Strategic Program. This 130-night program will capitalize on the wide wavelength coverage and massive multiplexing capabilities […]

Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Sebastian Baum, Michael A. Fedderke, Peter W. Graham, , | Summary: Dark compact objects ("clumps") transiting the Solar System exert accelerations on the test masses (TM) in a gravitational-wave (GW) detector. We reexamine the detectability of these clump transits in a variety of current and future […]

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Jonah C. Rose, Paul Torrey, Mark Vogelsberger, Stephanie O’Neil, | Summary: We present a new set of cosmological zoom-in simulations of a MW-like galaxy which for the first time include elastic velocity-dependent self interacting dark matter (SIDM) and IllustrisTNG physics. With these simulations we investigate the interaction […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hirosi Ooguri | First 5 Authors: Monica Jinwoo Kang, Jaeha Lee, Hirosi Ooguri, , | Summary: We consider a $d$-dimensional unitary conformal field theory with a compact Lie group global symmetry $G$ and show that, at high temperature $T$ and on a compact Cauchy surface, the probability of a randomly chosen state being […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Daisuke Toyouchi, Kohei Inayoshi, Wenxiu Li, Zoltán Haiman, Rolf Kuiper | Summary: Supermassive stars (SMSs) with masses of $M_ast simeq 10^4$–$10^5~{rm M_odot}$ are invoked as possible seeds of high-redshift supermassive black holes, but it remains under debate whether their protostar indeed acquires sufficient mass via gas accretion […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Emrah Kalemci, Erin Kara, John A. Tomsick, , | Summary: We review the timing and spectral evolution of black hole X-ray binary systems, with emphasis on the current accretion-ejection paradigm. When in outburst, stellar mass black hole binaries may become the brightest X-ray sources in the sky. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roland K. Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Mason G. MacDougall, Erik A. Petigura, Tara Fetherolf, Corey Beard, Jack Lubin | Summary: We report the discovery of an eccentric hot Neptune and a non-transiting outer planet around TOI-1272. We identified the eccentricity of the inner planet, with an orbital period of 3.3 d and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Jinhui Guo, Yuxuan He, Jia Liu, Xiao-Ping Wang, Ke-Pan Xie | Summary: A new particle usually manifests itself as a single resonant peak located at its mass. We propose if the new particle mass is time-varying due to environmental effects, then its mass spectrum typically has a […]
