Rapid accretion state transitions following the tidal disruption event AT2018fyk

Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj R. Pasham | First 5 Authors: Thomas Wevers, Dheeraj R. Pasham, Sjoert van Velzen, James C. A. Miller-Jones, Phil Uttley | Summary: Following a tidal disruption event (TDE), the accretion rate can evolve from quiescent to near-Eddington levels and back over months – years timescales. This provides a unique opportunity to study […]

TIC 168789840: A Sextuply-Eclipsing Sextuple Star System

Kavli Affiliate: Christopher J. Burke | First 5 Authors: Brian P. Powell, Veselin B. Kostov, Saul A. Rappaport, Tamas Borkovits, Petr Zasche | Summary: We report the discovery of a sextuply-eclipsing sextuple star system from TESS data, TIC 168789840, also known as TYC 7037-89-1, the first known sextuple system consisting of three eclipsing binaries. The […]

Quantum Information Theory of the Gravitational Anomaly

Kavli Affiliate: Simeon Hellerman | First 5 Authors: Simeon Hellerman, Domenico Orlando, Masataka Watanabe, , | Summary: We show that the standard notion of entanglement is not defined for gravitationally anomalous two-dimensional theories because they do not admit a local tensor factorization of the Hilbert space into local Hilbert spaces. Qualitatively, the modular flow cannot […]

Search for Dark Photon Dark Matter: Dark E-Field Radio Pilot Experiment

Kavli Affiliate: Peter Graham | First 5 Authors: Benjamin Godfrey, J. Anthony Tyson, Seth Hillbrand, Jon Balajthy, Daniel Polin | Summary: We are building an experiment to search for dark matter in the form of dark photons in the nano- to milli-eV mass range. This experiment is the electromagnetic dual of magnetic detector dark radio […]
