A tight universal relation between the shape eccentricity and the moment of inertia for rotating neutron stars

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Yong Gao, Lijing Shao, Jan Steinhoff, , | Summary: Universal relations that are insensitive to the equation of state (EoS) are useful in reducing the parameter space when measuring global quantities of neutron stars (NSs). In this paper, we reveal a new universal relation that connects the […]

Comparison of Polarized Radiative Transfer Codes used by the EHT Collaboration

Kavli Affiliate: Luis Ho | Summary:Interpretation of resolved polarized images of black holes by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) requires predictions of the polarized emission observable by an Earth-based instrument for a particular model of the black hole accretion system. Such predictions are generated by general relativistic radiative transfer (GRRT) codes, which integrate the equations […]

Anatomy of plasmons in generic Luttinger semimetals

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jing Wang, Ipsita Mandal, , , | Summary: We investigate the parameter regimes favourable for the emergence of plasmons in isotropic, anisotropic, and band-mass symmetric and asymmetric Luttinger semimetals (LSMs). An LSM harbours a quadratic band-crossing point (QBCP) in its bandstructure, where the upper and lower branches […]

Active galactic nuclei feedback in an elliptical galaxy (III): the impacts and fate of cosmological inflow

Kavli Affiliate: Yingjie Peng | First 5 Authors: Bocheng Zhu, Feng Yuan, Suoqing Ji, Yingjie Peng, Luis C. Ho | Summary: The cosmological inflow of a galaxy is speculated to be able to enter the galaxy and enhance the star formation rate (SFR) and black hole accretion rate (BHAR). In this paper, by performing high-resolution […]

Quantum $z=2$ Lifshitz criticality in one-dimensional interacting fermions

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, , , , | Summary: We consider Lifshitz criticality (LC) with the dynamical critical exponent $z=2$ in one-dimensional interacting fermions with a filled Dirac Sea. We report that interactions have crucial effects on Lifshitz criticality. Single particle excitations are destabilized by interaction and decay into […]

The Dark Side of Using Dark Sirens to Constrain the Hubble-LemaƮtre Constant

Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Liang-Gui Zhu, Xian Chen, , , | Summary: Dark sirens, i.e., gravitational-wave (GW) sources without electromagnetic counterparts, are new probes of the expansion of the universe. The efficacy of this method relies on correctly localizing the host galaxies. However, recent theoretical studies have shown that astrophysical environments […]
