Optical Atomic Clock aboard an Earth-orbiting Space Station (OACESS): Enhancing searches for physics beyond the standard model in space

Kavli Affiliate: Yevgeny Stadnik | First 5 Authors: Vladimir Schkolnik, Dmitry Budker, Oliver Fartmann, Victor Flambaum, Leo Hollberg | Summary: We present a concept for a high-precision optical atomic clock (OAC) operating on an Earth-orbiting space station. This pathfinder science mission will compare the space-based OAC with one or more ultra-stable terrestrial OACs to search […]

Localizing narrow Fe K$α$ emission within bright AGN

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Carolina Andonie, Franz E. Bauer, Rosamaria Carraro, Patricia Arevalo, David M. Alexander | Summary: The 6.4 keV Fe Ka emission line is a ubiquitous feature in X-ray spectra of AGN, and its properties track the interaction between the variable primary X-ray continuum and the surrounding structure from […]

Radio signal of PSR B0950+08 is detected over the whole phase

Kavli Affiliate: Kejia Lee | First 5 Authors: Zhengli Wang, Jiguang Lu, Jinchen Jiang, Jie Lin, Kejia Lee | Summary: Pulsars, known as the "lighthouses" in the universe, are thought to emit periodic pulses with duty-cycle ~10%. In this report, the 160,min-data of a nearby pulsar, PSR B0950+08, observed with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio […]

Conjectures on reductive homogeneous spaces

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiyuki Kobayashi | First 5 Authors: Toshiyuki Kobayashi, , , , | Summary: We address some conjectures and open problems in "analysis of symmetries" which include the study of non-commutative harmonic analysis and discontinuous groups for reductive homogeneous spaces beyond the classical framework: (1) discrete series for non-symmetric homogeneous spaces $G/H$; (2) discontinuous […]
