Kavli Affiliate: Yukinobu Toda | First 5 Authors: Yalong Cao, Georg Oberdieck, Yukinobu Toda, , | Summary: Using reduced Gromov-Witten theory, we define new invariants which capture the enumerative geometry of curves on holomorphic symplectic 4-folds. The invariants are analogous to the BPS counts of Gopakumar and Vafa for Calabi-Yau 3-folds, Klemm and Pandharipande for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Lily L. Zhao, Debra A. Fischer, Eric B. Ford, Alex Wise, Michaël Cretignier | Summary: Measured spectral shifts due to intrinsic stellar variability (e.g., pulsations, granulation) and activity (e.g., spots, plages) are the largest source of error for extreme precision radial velocity (EPRV) exoplanet detection. Several methods […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert L. Byer | First 5 Authors: Kenneth J. Leedle, Uwe Niedermayer, Eric Skär, Karel Urbanek, Yu Miao | Summary: We present two compact ultrafast electron injector designs with integrated focusing that provide high peak brightness of up to $1.9*10^{12} A/m^2Sr^2$ with 10s of electrons per laser pulse using silicon carbide electrodes and […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: Samuel Passaglia, Wayne Hu, , , | Summary: Ultralight axions are theoretically interesting and phenomenologically rich dark sector candidates, but they are difficult to track across cosmological timescales because of their fast oscillations. We resolve this problem by developing a novel method to evolve them efficiently and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Sheng-Li Qin, Tie Liu, Xunchuan Liu, Paul F. Goldsmith, Di Li | Summary: Hot cores characterized by rich lines of complex organic molecules are considered as ideal sites for investigating the physical and chemical environments of massive star formation. We present a search for hot cores by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Kishalay De, Deepto Chakrabarty, Roberto Soria, Michael C. B. Ashley, Charlie Conroy | Summary: The symbiotic X-ray binary Sct X-1 was suggested as the first known neutron star accreting from a red supergiant companion. Although known for nearly 50 years, detailed characterization of the donor remains lacking, […]

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Suyeon Son, Minjin Kim, Luis C. Ho, , | Summary: We utilize mid-infrared multi-epoch data from Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) over a $sim10$-year period in W1 (3.4$mu$m) and W2 (4.6$mu$m) bands to investigate the structure of dusty torus in low-redshift ($0.15<zle 0.4$) active galactic nuclei […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Romain A. Meyer, Roberto Decarli, Fabian Walter, Qiong Li, Ran Wang | Summary: We quantify galaxy overdensities around three high-redshift quasars with known [CII] 158um companions: PJ231-20 (z=6.59), PJ308-21 (z=6.24) and J0305-3150 (z=6.61). Recent SCUBA2 imaging revealed the presence of 17 submillimeter galaxies (SMG) with sky separations […]
