Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Yoshitaka Hatta, Bo-Wen Xiao, Feng Yuan, , | Summary: Inspired by a recent study of Iancu, Mueller and Triantafyllopoulos [1] and earlier papers by Golec-Biernat and Wusthoff [2,3], we propose semi-inclusive diffractive deep inelastic scattering (SIDDIS) to investigate the gluon tomography in the nucleon and nuclei at […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Joshua J. Ziegler, Thomas D. P. Edwards, Anna M. Suliga, Irene Tamborra, Shunsaku Horiuchi | Summary: We explore the assumption, widely used in many astrophysical calculations, that the stellar initial mass function (IMF) is universal across all galaxies. By considering both a canonical Salpeter-like IMF and a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Saul A. Rappaport | First 5 Authors: Martti H. K. Kristiansen, Saul A. Rappaport, Andrew M. Vanderburg, Thomas L. Jacobs, Hans Martin Schwengeler | Summary: This article presents the history of the Visual Survey Group (VSG) – a Professional-Amateur (Pro-Am) collaboration within the field of astronomy working on data from several space missions […]

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Bethan A. Williams, Daniel L. Walker, Steven N. Longmore, A. T. Barnes, Cara Battersby | Summary: Young massive clusters (YMCs) are compact ($lesssim$1 pc), high-mass (>10${}^4$ M${}_{odot}$) stellar systems of significant scientific interest. Due to their rarity and rapid formation, we have very few examples of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Pau Amaro Seoane | First 5 Authors: Sebastiano von Fellenberg, Stefan Gillessen, Julia Stadler, Michi Bauböck, Reinhard Genzel | Summary: We present a large ${sim 30" times 30"}$ spectroscopic survey of the Galactic Center using the SINFONI IFU at the VLT. Combining observations of the last two decades we compile spectra of over […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Abhish Dev, Gordan Krnjaic, Pedro Machado, Harikrishnan Ramani, | Summary: If ultralight $(ll$ eV), bosonic dark matter couples to right handed neutrinos, active neutrino masses and mixing angles depend on the ambient dark matter density. When the neutrino Majorana mass, induced by the dark matter background, is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Ana Glidden, Sara Seager, Jingcheng Huang, Janusz J. Petkowski, Sukrit Ranjan | Summary: The search for signs of life on other worlds has largely focused on terrestrial planets. Recent work, however, argues that life could exist in the atmospheres of temperate sub-Neptunes. Here, we evaluate the usefulness […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert M. Wald | First 5 Authors: Daine L. Danielson, Gautam Satishchandran, Robert M. Wald, , | Summary: We show that if a massive body is put in a quantum superposition of spatially separated states, the mere presence of a black hole in the vicinity of the body will eventually destroy the coherence […]
