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 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Jinhui Guo, Yuxuan He, Jia Liu, Xiao-Ping Wang, Ke-Pan Xie | Summary: The ultralight boson represents a promising dark matter candidate exhibiting unique wave-like behaviors. These properties could transfer to the dark mediator, such as the kinetic mixing dark photon, which can be a link between the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eli S. Rykoff | First 5 Authors: The Astropy Collaboration, Adrian M. Price-Whelan, Pey Lian Lim, Nicholas Earl, Nathaniel Starkman | Summary: The Astropy Project supports and fosters the development of open-source and openly-developed Python packages that provide commonly needed functionality to the astronomical community. A key element of the Astropy Project is […]

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Biny Sebastian, Preeti Kharb, Matthew L. Lister, Herman L. Marshall, Christopher P. O’Dea | Summary: We have carried out Chandra, HST, and VLA observations of four MOJAVE blazars that have been previously classified as ‘hybrid’ (FR I/II) blazars in terms of radio morphology but not total […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mihoko M. Nojiri | First 5 Authors: Mihoko M. Nojiri, Yasuihito Sakaki, Kohsaku Tobioka, Daiki Ueda, | Summary: A beam dump experiment can be seamlessly added to the {proposed} International Linear Collider (ILC) program because the high energy electron beam should be dumped after the collision point. The ILC beam dump experiment will […]
