Kavli Affiliate: Marcela Carena | First 5 Authors: Marcela Carena, Henry Lamm, Ying-Ying Li, Wanqiang Liu, | Summary: With advances in quantum computing, new opportunities arise to tackle challenging calculations in quantum field theory. We show that trotterized time-evolution operators can be related by analytic continuation to the Euclidean transfer matrix on an anisotropic lattice. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Angela V. Olinto | First 5 Authors: Mary Hall Reno, Luis A. Anchordoqui, Atri Bhattacharya, Austin Cummings, Johannes Eser | Summary: Recent theoretical work has explored dark matter accumulation in the Earth and its drift towards the center of the Earth that, for the current age of the Earth, does not necessarily result […]
Kavli Affiliate: R. Morris | First 5 Authors: R. Abuter, A. Amorim, M. Bauböck, F. Baganoff, J. P. Berge | Summary: We report the time-resolved spectral analysis of a bright near-infrared and moderate X-ray flare of Sgr A*. We obtained light curves in the $M$-, $K$-, and $H$-bands in the mid- and near-infrared and in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Takada | First 5 Authors: Xiangchong Li, Hironao Miyatake, Wentao Luo, Surhud More, Masamune Oguri | Summary: We present the galaxy shear catalog that will be used for the three-year cosmological weak gravitational lensing analyses using data from the Wide layer of the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) Subaru Strategic Program (SSP) Survey. The […]
Kavli Affiliate: Saul Rappaport | First 5 Authors: Samuel N. Quinn, Saul Rappaport, Andrew Vanderburg, Jason D. Eastman, Lorne A. Nelson | Summary: We report the detection of a single transit-like signal in the Kepler data of the slightly evolved F star KIC4918810. The transit duration is ~45 hours, and while the orbital period ($Psim10$ […]
Kavli Affiliate: Susan E. Clark | First 5 Authors: Sarah Pearson, Susan E. Clark, Alexis J. Demirjian, Kathryn V. Johnston, Melissa K. Ness | Summary: Stellar streams from globular clusters (GCs) offer constraints on the nature of dark matter and have been used to explore the dark matter halo structure and substructure of our Galaxy. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Sung-Yong Yoon, Jeong-Eun Lee, Seokho Lee, Gregory J. Herczeg, Sunkyung Park | Summary: Outbursts of young stellar objects occur when the mass accretion rate suddenly increases. However, such outbursts are difficult to detect for deeply embedded protostars due to their thick envelope and the rarity of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tomotake Matsumura | First 5 Authors: Samantha Lynn Stever, Tommaso Ghigna, Mayu Tominaga, Giuseppe Puglisi, Masahiro Tsujimoto | Summary: Systematic effects arising from cosmic rays have been shown to be a significant threat to space telescopes using high-sensitivity bolometers. The LiteBIRD space mission aims to measure the polarised Cosmic Microwave Background with unprecedented […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Wendy L. Freedman, , , , | Summary: Measurement of the distances to nearby galaxies have improved rapidly in recent decades. The ever-present challenge is to reduce systematic effects, especially as greater distances are probed, and the uncertainties become larger. In this paper, we combine several […]
Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: N. Elias-Rosa, P. Chen, S. Benetti, Subo Dong, J. L. Prieto | Summary: There is a wide consensus that type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) originate from the thermonuclear explosion of CO white dwarfs (WD), with the lack of hydrogen in the observed spectra as a distinctive feature.
