Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Daisuke Toyouchi, Kohei Inayoshi, Wenxiu Li, Zoltán Haiman, Rolf Kuiper | Summary: Supermassive stars (SMSs) with masses of $M_ast simeq 10^4$–$10^5~{rm M_odot}$ are invoked as possible seeds of high-redshift supermassive black holes, but it remains under debate whether their protostar indeed acquires sufficient mass via gas accretion […]

Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Xiu Liu, Zhuo Li, Zexiao Wang, Hyeong Seok Yun, Sheng Shen | Summary: Electrothermal metasurfaces have attracted extensive attention due to their ability to dynamically control thermal infrared radiation. Although previous studies were mainly focused on the metasurfaces with infinite unit cells, the finite-size effect can be […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Juan Molina, Luis C. Ho, Ran Wang, Jinyi Shangguan, Franz E. Bauer | Summary: We analyze Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer observations of nine low-redshift (z < 0.1) Palomar-Green quasar host galaxies to investigate the spatial distribution and kinematics of the warm, ionized interstellar medium, with the goal […]

Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Tsevi Mazeh, Simchon Faigler, Dolev Bashi, Sahar Shahaf, Niv Davidson | Summary: We have identified 2XMM J125556.57+565846.4, at a distance of 600 pc, as a binary system consisting of a normal star and a probable dormant neutron star. Optical spectra exhibit a slightly evolved F-type single star, […]

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Jun Yang, Xiaolong Yang, Joan M. Wrobel, Zsolt Paragi, Leonid I. Gurvits | Summary: NGC 4395 is a dwarf galaxy at a distance of about 4.3 Mpc (scale: ~0.021 pc mas$^{-1}$). It hosts an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) with a mass between ~10$^4$ and ~10$^5$ solar […]

Kavli Affiliate: Hu Zhan | First 5 Authors: Haitao Miao, Yan Gong, Xuelei Chen, Zhiqi Huang, Xiao-Dong Li | Summary: As one of Stage IV space-based telescopes, the China Space Station Telescope (CSST) can perform photometric and spectroscopic surveys simultaneously to efficiently explore the Universe with extreme precision. In this work, we investigate several powerful […]

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Hong-Bo Li, Yong Gao, Lijing Shao, Ren-Xin Xu, Rui Xu | Summary: The strong interaction at low energy scales determines the equation of state (EOS) of supranuclear matters in neutron stars (NSs). It is conjectured that the bulk dense matter may be composed of strangeons, which are […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Shao-Fei Chen, Bo-Chao Liu, , | Summary: In this work, we study the spin density matrix element $rho_{00}$ of the $phi$ in the decay $J/psi rightarrow eta pi phi$. In previous studies, a band around 1.4 GeV on the $pi^0phi$ distribution in Dalitz plot was […]
