A comprehensive study of type I (thermonuclear) bursts in the new transient SRGA J144459.2$-$604207

Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Tao Fu, Zhaosheng Li, Yuanyue Pan, Long Ji, Yupeng Chen | Summary: We report an analysis of Insight-HXMT observations of the newly discovered accreting millisecond pulsar SRGA J144459.2$-$604207. During the outburst, detected in 2024 February by SRG/ART-XC, the broadband persistent spectrum was well fitted by an absorbed […]

The First JWST View of a 30-Myr-old Protoplanetary Disk Reveals a Late-stage Carbon-rich Phase

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Feng Long, Ilaria Pascucci, Adrien Houge, Andrea Banzatti, Klaus M. Pontoppidan | Summary: We present a JWST MIRI/MRS spectrum of the inner disk of WISE J044634.16$-$262756.1B (hereafter J0446B), an old ($sim$34 Myr) M4.5 star but with hints of ongoing accretion. The spectrum is molecule-rich and dominated […]

Universal approach to light driven “superconductivity” via preformed pairs

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: While there are many different mechanisms which have been proposed to understand the physics behind light induced “superconductivity", what seems to be common to the class of materials in which this is observed are strong pairing correlations, which are present in […]

Origin of Increased Curie Temperature in Lithium-Substituted Ferroelectric Niobate Perovskite: Enhancement of the Soft Polar Mode

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Hao-Cheng Thong, Fang-Zhou Yao, Xian-Xian Cai, Ze Xu, Mao-Hua Zhang | Summary: The functionality of ferroelectrics is often constrained by their Curie temperature, above which depolarization occurs. Lithium (Li) is the only experimentally known substitute that can increase the Curie temperature in ferroelectric niobate-based perovskites, yet the […]
