Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Dan Kondo, Hitoshi Murayama, Bea Noether, Digvijay Roy Varier, | Summary: We show that near the edges of the conformal window of supersymmetric $SU(N_c)$ QCD, perturbed by Anomaly Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking (AMSB), chiral symmetry can be broken depending on the initial conditions of the RG flow. We […]
Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Zhifu Chen, Zhicheng He, Luis C. Ho, Qiusheng Gu, Tinggui Wang | Summary: Both theory and observations suggest that outflows driven by an active central supermassive black hole (SMBH) has a feedback effect on shaping the global properties of the host galaxy. However, whether feedback from […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Ricker | First 5 Authors: Rahul Jayaraman, Donald W. Kurtz, Gerald Handler, Saul Rappaport, George Ricker | Summary: We present two new rapidly oscillating Ap (roAp) stars, TIC 198781841 and TIC 229960986, discovered in TESS photometric data. The periodogram of TIC 198781841 has a large peak at 166.506 d$^{-1}$ (1.93 mHz), with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Steven Allen, Lindsey E. Bleem, Bradford Benson, Adam B. Mantz | First 5 Authors: Adam B. Mantz, Steven W. Allen, Rebecca E. A. Canning, Lucie Baumont, Bradford Benson | Summary: We present updated cosmological constraints from measurements of the gas mass fractions ($f_{gas}$) of massive, dynamically relaxed galaxy clusters. Our new data set […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael D. Gladders | First 5 Authors: Gourav Khullar, Matthew B. Bayliss, Michael D. Gladders, Keunho J. Kim, Michael S Calzadilla | Summary: Using stellar population synthesis models to infer star formation histories (SFHs), we analyse photometry and spectroscopy of a large sample of quiescent galaxies which are members of Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ)-selected galaxy […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paul L. Schechter | First 5 Authors: Graham P. Smith, Timo Anguita, Simon Birrer, Paul L. Schechter, Aprajita Verma | Summary: We present the Strong Lensing Science Collaboration’s (SLSC) recommended observing targets for the science verification and science validation phases of commissioning. Our recommendations have been developed in collaboration with the Dark Energy […]

Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | First 5 Authors: Nicoletta Krachmalnicoff, Tomotake Matsumura, Elena de la Hoz, Soumen Basak, Alessandro Gruppuso | Summary: We present a demonstration of the in-flight polarization angle calibration for the JAXA/ISAS second strategic large class mission, LiteBIRD, and estimate its impact on the measurement of the tensor-to-scalar ratio parameter, r, using […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Yang Li, Jing Wang, Hai-Qing Lin, Lei Shao, | Summary: Bio-compatible Au nanoparticles exhibit great advantages in the application of biomedical researches, such as bio-sensing, medical diagnosis, and cancer therapy. Bio-molecules can even be manipulated by laser tweezers with the optically trapped Au nanoparticles as handles. In […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi Masui | First 5 Authors: Eve Schoen, Calvin Leung, Kiyoshi Masui, Daniele Michilli, Pragya Chawla | Summary: We describe a pipeline to measure scintillation in fast radio bursts (FRBs) detected by CHIME/FRB in the 400-800 MHz band by analyzing the frequency structure of the FRB’s spectrum. We use the pipeline to measure […]
