Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Zhuo Li, Jindian Liu, Liu Yan, Beichuan Zhang, Peng Luo | Summary: Name lookup is a key technology for the forwarding plane of content router in Named Data Networking (NDN). To realize the efficient name lookup, what counts is deploying a highperformance index in content routers. So […]
Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Y. Homayouni, Megan R. Sturm, Jonathan R. Trump, Keith Horne, C. J. Grier | Summary: We present accretion-disk structure measurements from UV-optical reverberation mapping observations of a sample of eight quasars at 0.24<z<0.85. Ultraviolet photometry comes from two cycles of Hubble Space Telescope monitoring, accompanied by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li | First 5 Authors: Ping Yu, Jianxiong Li, Xin Li, Gisela Schuetz, Michael Hirscher | Summary: Singular beams have attracted great attention due to their optical properties and broad applications from light manipulation to optical communications. However, there has been a lack of practical schemes with which to achieve switchable […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Manuel Arca Sedda, Christopher P L Berry, Karan Jani, Pau Amaro-Seoane, Pierre Auclair | Summary: Since 2015 the gravitational-wave observations of LIGO and Virgo have transformed our understanding of compact-object binaries. In the years to come, ground-based gravitational-wave observatories such as LIGO, Virgo, and their successors will […]
Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Yang Huang, Timothy C. Beers, Christian Wolf, Young Sun Lee, Christopher A. Onken | Summary: Accurate determinations of stellar parameters and distances for large complete samples of stars are keys for conducting detailed studies of the formation and evolution of our Galaxy. Here we present stellar atmospheric […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Yifan Zhou, Brendan P. Bowler, Kevin R. Wagner, Glenn Schneider, Dániel Apai | Summary: Recent discoveries of young exoplanets within their natal disks offer exciting opportunities to study ongoing planet formation. In particular, a planet’s mass accretion rate can be constrained by observing the accretion-induced excess […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yingjie Peng | First 5 Authors: Jing Dou, Yingjie Peng, Alvio Renzini, Luis C. Ho, Filippo Mannucci | Summary: In Dou et al. (2021), we introduced the Fundamental Formation Relation (FFR), a tight relation between specific SFR (sSFR), H$_2$ star formation efficiency (SFE$_{rm H_2}$), and the ratio of H$_2$ to stellar mass. Here […]
Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Xiangyun Long, Hua Feng, Hong Li, Jiahuan Zhu, Qiong Wu | Summary: We report follow-up observations of the Crab nebula with the PolarLight X-ray polarimeter, which revealed a possible variation in polarization associated with a pulsar glitch in 2019. The new observations confirm that the polarization has […]
Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Wei Yan, Ryan C. Hickox, Chien-Ting J. Chen, Claudio Ricci, Alberto Masini | Summary: In active galactic nuclei (AGN), fluorescent Fe K$alpha$ (iron) line emission is generally interpreted as originating from obscuring material around a supermassive black hole (SMBH) on the scale of a few parsecs (pc). […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yingjie Peng | First 5 Authors: Chengpeng Zhang, Yingjie Peng, Luis C. Ho, Roberto Maiolino, Alvio Renzini | Summary: The phenomenological study of evolving galaxy populations has shown that star forming galaxies can be quenched by two distinct processes: mass quenching and environment quenching (Peng et al. 2010). To explore the mass quenching […]
