Consistency test of the fine-structure constant from the whole ionization history

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Lu Chen, , , | Summary: In cosmology, the fine-structure constant can affect the whole ionization history. However, the previous works confine themselves to the recombination epoch and give various strong constraints on the fine-structure constant. In this paper, we also take the reionization epoch […]

Large deviation principle for reflected SPDE on infinite spatial domain

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Ran Wang, Beibei Zhang, , , | Summary: We study a large deviation principle for a reflected stochastic partial differential equation on infinite spatial domain. A new sufficient condition for the weak convergence criterion proposed by Matoussi, Sabbagh and Zhang ({it Appl. Math. Optim.} 83: 849-879, 2021) […]

Limits on X-ray Polarization at the Core of Centaurus A as Observed with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Steven R. Ehlert, Riccardo Ferrazzoli, Andrea Marinucci, Herman L. Marshall, Riccardo Middei | Summary: We present measurements of the polarization of X-rays in the $2-8 thinspace mathrm{keV}$ band from the nucleus of the radio galaxy Centaurus A (Cen A), using a 100ks observation from the Imaging […]

Jets, Disks and Winds from Spinning Black Holes: Nature or Nurture?

Kavli Affiliate: Roger Blandford | First 5 Authors: Roger Blandford, Noemie Globus, , , | Summary: A brief summary is given of an alternative interpretation of the Event Horizon Telescope observations of the massive black hole in the nucleus of the nearby galaxy M87. It is proposed that the flow is primarily powered by the […]

An Isotropy Measurement with Gravitational Wave Observations

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Reed Essick, Will M. Farr, Maya Fishbach, Daniel E. Holz, Erik Katsavounidis | Summary: We constrain the distribution of merging compact binaries across the celestial sphere using the GWTC-3 catalog from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaborations’ (LVK) third observing run. With 63 confident detections from O3, we constrain […]

Direct detection of dark photon dark matter using radio telescopes

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Haipeng An, Shuailiang Ge, Wen-Qing Guo, Xiaoyuan Huang, Jia Liu | Summary: Dark photon can be the ultralight dark matter candidate, which can interact with the Standard Model particles via the kinetic mixing. We propose to look for ultralight dark photon dark matter (DPDM) with local absorption […]
