Search for non-Newtonian interactions at micrometer scale with a levitated test mass

Kavli Affiliate: Giorgio Gratta | First 5 Authors: Charles P. Blakemore, Alexander Fieguth, Akio Kawasaki, Nadav Priel, Denzal Martin | Summary: We report on a search for non-Newtonian forces that couple to mass, with a characteristic scale of ${sim}10~mu$m, using an optically levitated microsphere as a precision force sensor. A silica microsphere trapped in an […]

Precise transit and radial-velocity characterization of a resonant pair: a warm Jupiter TOI-216c and eccentric warm Neptune TOI-216b

Kavli Affiliate: Alan M. Levine | First 5 Authors: Rebekah I. Dawson, Chelsea X. Huang, Rafael Brahm, Karen A. Collins, Melissa J. Hobson | Summary: TOI-216 hosts a pair of warm, large exoplanets discovered by the TESS Mission. These planets were found to be in or near the 2:1 resonance, and both of them exhibit […]

TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME) IV: Three small planets orbiting a 120 Myr-old star in the Pisces–Eridanus stream

Kavli Affiliate: Alan M. Levine | First 5 Authors: Elisabeth R. Newton, Andrew W. Mann, Adam L. Kraus, John H. Livingston, Andrew Vanderburg | Summary: Young exoplanets can offer insight into the evolution of planetary atmospheres, compositions, and architectures. We present the discovery of the young planetary system TOI 451 (TIC 257605131, Gaia DR2 4844691297067063424). […]

Cherenkov Telescope Array sensitivity to the putative millisecond pulsar population responsible for the Galactic center excess

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Oscar Macias, Harm van Leijen, Deheng Song, Shin’ichiro Ando, Shunsaku Horiuchi | Summary: The leading explanation of the $textit{Fermi}$ Galactic center $gamma$-ray excess is the extended emission from a unresolved population of millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in the Galactic bulge. Such a population would, along with the prompt […]

The integrated angular bispectrum of weak lensing

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Gabriel Jung, Toshiya Namikawa, Michele Liguori, Dipak Munshi, Alan Heavens | Summary: We investigate three-point statistics in weak lensing convergence, through the integrated bispectrum. This statistic involves measuring power spectra in patches, and is thus easy to measure, and avoids the complexity of estimating the very large […]

On Stability of Fermionic Superconducting Current in Cosmic String

Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Ibe, Shin Kobayashi, Yuhei Nakayama, Satoshi Shirai, | Summary: Recently, the chiral superconductivity of the cosmic string in the axion model has gathered attention. The superconductive nature can alter the standard understanding of the cosmology of the axion model. For example, a string loop with a […]

HI constraints from the cross-correlation of eBOSS galaxies and Green Bank Telescope intensity maps

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Laura Wolz, Alkistis Pourtsidou, Kiyoshi W. Masui, Tzu-Ching Chang, Julian E. Bautista | Summary: We present the joint analysis of Neutral Hydrogen (HI) Intensity Mapping observations with three galaxy samples: the Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) and Emission Line Galaxy (ELG) samples from the eBOSS survey, and […]

Rethinking the Optimization of Average Precision: Only Penalizing Negative Instances before Positive Ones is Enough

Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Zhuo Li, Weiqing Min, Jiajun Song, Yaohui Zhu, Liping Kang | Summary: Optimising the approximation of Average Precision (AP) has been widely studied for image retrieval. Limited by the definition of AP, such methods consider both negative and positive instances ranking before each positive instance. However, we […]
