Analysis method for 3D power spectrum of projected tensor field with fast estimator and window convolution modelling: an application to intrinsic alignments

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Takada | First 5 Authors: Toshiki Kurita, Masahiro Takada, , , | Summary: Rank-2 tensor fields of large-scale structure, e.g. a tensor field inferred from shapes of galaxies, open up a window to directly access 2 scalar, 2 vector and 2 tensor modes, where the scalar fields can be measured independently from […]

ATOMS: ALMA Three-millimeter Observations of Massive Star-forming regions-IX. A pilot study towards IRDC G034.43+00.24 on multi-scale structures and gas kinematics

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Hong-Li Liu, Anandmayee Tej, Tie Liu, Paul F. Goldsmith, Amelia Stutz | Summary: We present a comprehensive study of the gas kinematics associated with density structures at different spatial scales in the filamentary infrared dark cloud, G034.43+00.24 (G34). This study makes use of the H13CO+ (1-0) molecular […]

Gravitational Casimir Effect in Inspiralling Neutron Star Binary

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jing Wang, , , , | Summary: Currently, the discussions and investigations for the vacuum energy is drawing great both theoretical and experimental attention. The vacuum states of variety of fields, subject to special boundary conditions, may contribute to non-trivial macroscopic vacuum energy, i.e. the Casimir effect, […]

TESS discovery of a sub-Neptune orbiting a mid-M dwarf TOI-2136

Kavli Affiliate: Roland Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Tianjun Gan, Abderahmane Soubkiou, Sharon X. Wang, Zouhair Benkhaldoun, Shude Mao | Summary: We present the discovery of TOI-2136b, a sub-Neptune planet transiting every 7.85 days a nearby M4.5V-type star, identified through photometric measurements from the TESS mission. The host star is located $33$ pc away with […]

The irreducible mass and the horizon area of LIGO’s black holes

Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Sperhake | First 5 Authors: Davide Gerosa, Cecilia Maria Fabbri, Ulrich Sperhake, , | Summary: The mass of a Kerr black hole can be separated into irreducible and rotational components -the former is a lower limit to the energy that cannot be possibly extracted from the event horizon and is related to […]
