Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Sergey Khoperskov, Ivan Minchev, Noam Libeskind, Misha Haywood, Paola Di Matteo | Summary: In the Milky Way, recent progress in the exploration of its assembly history is driven by the tremendous amount of high-quality data delivered by Gaia, which has revealed a number of substructures potentially linked […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Sergey Khoperskov, Ivan Minchev, Noam Libeskind, Misha Haywood, Paola Di Matteo | Summary: Theory suggests that mergers play an important role in shaping galactic disks and stellar haloes, which was observationally confirmed in the MW thanks to the Gaia data. In this work, aiming to probe the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Dan Hooper, Aurora Ireland, Gordan Krnjaic, , | Summary: The origin of our universe’s cosmological magnetic fields remains a mystery. In this study, we consider whether these magnetic fields could have been generated in the early universe by a population of charged, spinning primordial black holes. To […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Jason T. Hinkle, Christopher S. Kochanek, Benjamin J. Shappee, Patrick J. Vallely, Katie Auchettl | Summary: We analyze high-cadence data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) of the ambiguous nuclear transient (ANT) ASASSN-18el. The optical changing-look phenomenon in ASASSN-18el has been argued to be due to […]

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Sugumi Kanno, Misao Sasaki, , , | Summary: We compute the leading order non-Gaussianity, i.e., the bispectrum, of the tensor perturbation in the general $alpha$-vacuum on de Sitter space in general relativity. In addition to the well-known Bunch-Davies (BD) vacuum, there exits an infinite number of de […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: He Liu, Ting Zhang, Ke Wang, Fei Gao, Gang Xu | Summary: Hole spins confined in semiconductor quantum dot systems have gained considerable interest for their strong spin-orbit interactions (SOIs) and relatively weak hyperfine interactions. Here we experimentally demonstrate a tunable SOI in a double quantum dot […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Vladan Markov, Stefano Carniani, Livia Vallini, Andrea Ferrara, Andrea Pallottini | Summary: A tight relation between [C II] $ 158 {rm{mu m}}$ line luminosity and star formation rate (SFR) is observed in local galaxies. At $z > 5$, galaxies instead deviate downwards from the local $Sigma_{rm{[C II]}}-Sigma_{rm{SFR}}$ […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Vladan Markov, Stefano Carniani, Livia Vallini, Andrea Ferrara, Andrea Pallottini | Summary: A tight relation between [C II] line luminosity and the star formation rate (SFR) has been observed for local galaxies. At high redshift (z > 5), galaxies instead deviate downwards from the local $Sigma$_[C II] […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jing Wang, Nannan Han, Zheng-Dong Luo, Mingwen Zhang, Xiaoqing Chen | Summary: Electrical tuning of second-order nonlinearity in optical materials is attractive to strengthen and expand the functionalities of nonlinear optical technologies, though its implementation remains elusive. Here, we report the electrically tunable second-order nonlinearity in atomically […]
