Quantum Mechanics of Gravitational Waves

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Maulik Parikh, Frank Wilczek, George Zahariade, , | Summary: For the purpose of analyzing observed phenomena, it has been convenient, and thus far sufficient, to regard gravity as subject to the deterministic principles of classical physics, with the gravitational field obeying Newton’s law or Einstein’s equations. Here […]

Hubble Space Telescope Snapshot Survey for Resolved Companions of Galactic Cepheids: Final Results

Kavli Affiliate: Moritz Guenther | First 5 Authors: Nancy Remage Evans, H. Moritz Guenther, Howard E. Bond, Gail H. Schaefer, Brian D. Mason | Summary: Cepheids in multiple systems provide information on the outcome of the formation of massive stars. They can also lead to exotic end-stage objects. This study concludes our survey of 70 […]

Droplet-Edge Operators in Nonrelativistic Conformal Field Theories

Kavli Affiliate: Simeon Hellerman | First 5 Authors: Simeon Hellerman, Ian Swanson, , , | Summary: We consider the large-charge expansion of the charged ground state of a Schrodinger-invariant, nonrelativistic conformal field theory in a harmonic trap, in general dimension d. In the existing literature, the energy in the trap has been computed to next-to-leading […]

Absorption-line Environments of High-redshift BOSS Quasars

Kavli Affiliate: Donald York | First 5 Authors: Chen Chen, Fred Hamann, Bo Ma, Britt Lundgren, Donald York | Summary: The early stage of massive galaxy evolution often involves outflows driven by a starburst or a central quasar plus cold mode accretion (infall), which adds to the mass build-up in the galaxies. To study the […]

Curvature conditions for spatial isotropy

Kavli Affiliate: Pau Amaro Seoane | First 5 Authors: Kostas Tzanavaris, Pau Amaro Seoane, , , | Summary: In the context of mathematical cosmology, the study of necessary and sufficient conditions for a semi-Riemannian manifold to be a (generalised) Robertson-Walker space-time is important. In particular, it is a requirement for the development of initial data […]

Two Candidate High-Redshift X-ray Jets Without Coincident Radio Jets

Kavli Affiliate: Herman Marshall | First 5 Authors: Daniel Schwartz, Aneta Siemiginowska, Brad Snios, Diana Worrall, Mark Birkinshaw | Summary: We report the detection of extended X-ray emission from two high-redshift radio quasars. These quasars, J1405+0415 at $z$=3.208 and J1610+1811 at $z$=3.118, were observed in a Chandra snapshot survey selected from a complete sample of […]
