New limits on the local Lorentz invariance violation of gravity in the Standard-Model Extension with pulsars

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Yiming Dong, Ziming Wang, Lijing Shao, , | Summary: Lorentz Invariance Violation (LIV) is posited as a possible relic effect of quantum gravity at low energy scales. The Standard-Model Extension provides an effective field-theoretic framework for examining possible deviations attributed to LIV. With the observations of the […]

Josephson Diode Effect in Topological Superconductor

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Zhaochen Liu, Linghao Huang, Jing Wang, , | Summary: We investigate the Josephson diode effect in topological Josephson junctions. We find that while a Josephson junction in the topological phase may exhibit higher diode efficiency compared to that in the trivial phase, this behavior is not universal. […]

Josephson Diode Effect in Topological Superconductor

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Zhaochen Liu, Linghao Huang, Jing Wang, , | Summary: We investigate the Josephson diode effect (JDE) in topological Josephson junctions. By both analytic and numerical calculations, we find that while a Josephson junction in the topological phase may exhibit higher diode efficiency compared to that in the […]

Charged vacancy in graphene: interplay between Landau levels and atomic collapse resonances

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jing Wang, Wen-Sheng Zhao, Yue Hu, R. N. Costa Filho, Francois M. Peeters | Summary: The interplay between a magnetic field and the Coulomb potential from a charged vacancy on the electron states in graphene is investigated within the tight-binding model. The Coulomb potential removes locally Landau […]

Black holes regulate cold gas accretion in massive galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Tao Wang, Ke Xu, Yuxuan Wu, Yong Shi, David Elbaz | Summary: Nearly every massive galaxy contains a supermassive black hole (BH) at its center. For decades, both theory and numerical simulations have indicated that BHs play a central role in regulating the growth and quenching […]

Probabilistic Inference of the Structure and Orbit of Milky Way Satellites with Semi-Analytic Modeling

Dylan Folsom, Oren Slone, Mariangela Lisanti, Fangzhou Jiang, Manoj Kaplinghat | Summary: [[{“value”:”Semi-analytic modeling furnishes an efficient avenue for characterizing the properties of dark matter halos associated with satellites of Milky Way-like systems, as it easily accounts for uncertainties arising from halo-to-halo variance, the orbital disruption of satellites, baryonic feedback, and the stellar-to-halo mass (SMHM) […]
