A Joint X-ray and Optical Study of the Massive Redback Pulsar J2215+5135

Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Andrew G. Sullivan, Roger W. Romani, , , | Summary: PSR J2215+5135 (J2215) is a `redback’ spider pulsar, where the intrabinary shock (IBS) wraps around the pulsar rather than the stellar-mass companion. Spider orbital light curves are modulated, dominated by their binary companion thermal emission in […]

Transmon Qubit Constraints on Dark Matter-Nucleon Scattering

Kavli Affiliate: Noah Kurinsky | First 5 Authors: Anirban Das, Noah Kurinsky, Rebecca K. Leane, , | Summary: We recently pointed out that power measurements of single quasiparticle devices can be used to detect dark matter. These devices have the lowest known energy thresholds, far surpassing standard direct detection experiments, requiring energy deposition above only […]

The Gravitational Lensing Imprints of DES Y3 Superstructures on the CMB: A Matched Filtering Approach

Kavli Affiliate: Aaron Roodman | First 5 Authors: Umut Demirbozan, Seshadri Nadathur, Ismael Ferrero, Pablo Fosalba, Andras Kovacs | Summary: $ $Low density cosmic voids gravitationally lens the cosmic microwave background (CMB), leaving a negative imprint on the CMB convergence $kappa$. This effect provides insight into the distribution of matter within voids, and can also […]
