Kavli Affiliate: Kejia Lee | First 5 Authors: Shijie Zheng, Dawei Han, Heng Xu, Kejia Lee, Jianping Yuan | Summary: Millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are known for their long-term stability. Using six years of observations from the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER), we have conducted an in-depth analysis of the X-ray timing results for six […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lina Necib | First 5 Authors: Isabel S. Sands, Philip F. Hopkins, Xuejian Shen, Michael Boylan-Kolchin, James Bullock | Summary: While galaxy rotation curves provide one of the most powerful methods for measuring dark matter profiles in the inner regions of rotation-supported galaxies, at the dwarf scale there are factors that can complicate […]
Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Houda Haidar, David J. Rosario, Almudena Alonso-Herrero, Miguel Pereira-Santaella, Ismael García-Bernete | Summary: Polar dust has been discovered in a number of local Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), with radiation-driven torus models predicting a wind to be its main driver. However, little is known about its characteristics, spatial […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Sihao Cheng, Gabriela A. Marques, Daniela Grandón, Leander Thiele, Masato Shirasaki | Summary: As weak lensing surveys go deeper, there is an increasing need for reliable characterization of non-Gaussian structures at small angular scales. Here we present the first cosmological constraints with weak lensing scattering transform, a […]
Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Yongming Liang, Masami Ouchi, Dongsheng Sun, Nobunari Kashikawa, Zheng Cai | Summary: We report the identification of a quasar overdensity in the BOSSJ0210 field, dubbed Cosmic Himalayas, consisting of 11 quasars at $z=2.16-2.20$, the densest overdensity of quasars ($17sigma$) in the $sim$10,000 deg$^2$ of the Sloan […]
Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Lu-Chuan Liu, Cheng Wu, Wei Li, Yu-Ao Chen, Frank Wilczek | Summary: Long baseline diffraction-limited optical aperture synthesis technology by interferometry plays an important role in scientific study and practical application. In contrast to amplitude (phase) interferometry, intensity interferometry — which exploits the quantum nature of light […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Jitai Yang, Ke Li, Jia Liu, Jia Nie, Hui Li | Summary: In condensed matter physics, particularly in perovskite materials, the rotational motion of molecules and ions is associated with important issues such as ion conduction mechanism. Constrained Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations offer a means to separate […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Feige Wang, Jinyi Yang, Xiaohui Fan, Bram Venemans, Roberto Decarli | Summary: The [CII] 158 $mu$m emission line and the underlying far-infrared (FIR) dust continuum are important tracers for studying star formation and kinematic properties of early galaxies. We present a survey of the [CII] emission lines […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Aya Bamba, Kazumi Kashiyama, Shota Kisaka, Yukikatsu Terada, Tadayuki Takahashi | Summary: Strongly magnetized, rapidly rotating massive white dwarfs (WDs) emerge as potential outcomes of double degenerate mergers. These WDs can act as sources of non-thermal emission and cosmic rays, gethering attention as WD pulsars. In this […]
