Thermal Instability in the CGM of $L_{star}$ Galaxies: Testing “Precipitation” Models with the FIRE Simulations

Posted by klaurent Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey V. Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Clarke J. Esmerian, Andrey V. Kravtsov, Zachary Hafen, Claude-Andre Faucher-Giguere, Eliot Quataert | Summary: We examine the thermodynamic state and cooling of the low-$z$ Circum-Galactic Medium (CGM) in five FIRE-2 galaxy formation simulations of Milky Way-mass galaxies. We find that the CGM in these simulations is […]

Precision Measurement of the Beam-Normal Single-Spin Asymmetry in Forward-Angle Elastic Electron-Proton Scattering

Posted by klaurent Cambridge

Kavli Affiliate: A. C. Davis | Summary:A beam-normal single-spin asymmetry generated in the scattering of transversely polarized electrons from unpolarized nucleons is an observable related to the imaginary part of the two-photon exchange process. We report a 2% precision measurement of the beam-normal single-spin asymmetry in elastic electron-proton scattering with a mean scattering angle of […]

Ultrafast coherent control of a hole spin qubit in a germanium quantum dot

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Gang Xu, Fei Gao, He Liu, Rong-Long Ma | Summary: Operation speed and coherence time are two core measures for the viability of a qubit. Strong spin-orbit interaction (SOI) and relatively weak hyperfine interaction make holes in germanium (Ge) intriguing candidates for spin qubits with […]

Spatial Variation in Strong Line Ratios and Physical Conditions in Two Strongly-Lensed Galaxies at z~1.4

Posted by klaurent Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Michael D. Gladders | First 5 Authors: Michael K. Florian, Jane R. Rigby, Ayan Acharyya, Keren Sharon, Michael D. Gladders | Summary: For studies of galaxy formation and evolution, one of the major benefits of the James Webb Space Telescope is that space-based IFUs like those on its NIRSpec and MIRI instruments will […]

The correlation of high-redshift galaxies with the thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect traces reionization

Posted by klaurent Cambridge

Kavli Affiliate: Martin Haehnelt | First 5 Authors: Eric J. Baxter, Lewis Weinberger, Martin Haehnelt, Vid Iršič, Girish Kulkarni | Summary: We explore a potential new probe of reionization: the cross-correlation of high-redshift galaxies with maps of the thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (tSZ) effect. We consider two types of high redshift galaxies: Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) and […]

Multiband Polarimetric Imaging of HR 4796A with the Gemini Planet Imager

Posted by dbos Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce A. Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Pauline Arriaga, Michael P. Fitzgerald, Gaspard Duchêne, Paul Kalas, Maxwell A. Millar-Blanchaer | Summary: HR4796A hosts a well-studied debris disk with a long history due to its high fractional luminosity and favorable inclination lending itself well to both unresolved and resolved observations. We present new J- […]

Imaging and Spectral Performance of a 60 μm Pitch CdTe Double-Sided Strip Detector

Posted by Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Kento Furukawa, Shunsaku Nagasawa, Lindsay Glesener, Miho Katsuragawa, Shin’ichiro Takeda | Summary: We have evaluated the performance of a fine pitch CdTe Double-sided Strip Detector (CdTe-DSD), which was originally developed for the focal plane detector of a hard X-ray telescope to observe the Sun. The detector has […]
