Assessing the C/O Ratio Formation Diagnostic: A Potential Trend with Companion Mass

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Kielan K. W. Hoch, Quinn M. Konopacky, Christopher A. Theissen, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Travis S. Barman | Summary: The carbon-to-oxygen (C/O) ratio in an exoplanet atmosphere has been suggested as a potential diagnostic of planet formation. Now that a number of exoplanets have measured C/O ratios, it is […]

Directional detection of dark matter with anisotropic response functions

Kavli Affiliate: Noah Kurinsky | First 5 Authors: Christian Boyd, Yonit Hochberg, Yonatan Kahn, Eric David Kramer, Noah Kurinsky | Summary: Direct detection for sub-GeV dark matter is developing rapidly, with many novel experimental ideas and theoretical methods emerging. In this work, we extend the dielectric formalism for dark matter scattering to incorporate anisotropic material […]

Dual electro-optic frequency comb photonic thermometry

Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Adam J. Fleisher, Zeeshan Ahmed, Tobias Herman, Matthew R. Hartings, | Summary: We report a precision realization of photonic thermometry using dual-comb spectroscopy to interrogate a $pi$-phase-shifted fiber Bragg grating. We achieve read-out stability of 7.5 mK at 1 s and resolve temperature changes of similar magnitude–sufficient […]

Nostradamus: Weathering Worth

Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Alapan Chaudhuri, Zeeshan Ahmed, Ashwin Rao, Shivansh Subramanian, Shreyas Pradhan | Summary: Nostradamus, inspired by the French astrologer and reputed seer, is a detailed study exploring relations between environmental factors and changes in the stock market. In this paper, we analyze associative correlation and causation between environmental […]

A New Component from the Quiet Sun: Synchrotron Radiation from Galactic Cosmic-Ray Electrons

Kavli Affiliate: Vahe Petrosian | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: The quiet Sun, i.e. in its non-flaring state or non-flaring regions, emits thermal radiation from radio to ultraviolet. The quiet Sun produces also non-thermal radiation observed in gamma rays due to interactions of Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR) with the solar gas […]

Transport of Cosmic ray electrons from 1 AU to the Sun

Kavli Affiliate: Vahe Petrosian | First 5 Authors: Vahe’ Petrosian, Elena Orlando, Andrew Strong, , | Summary: Gamma rays are produced by cosmic ray (CR) protons interacting with the particles at solar photosphere and by cosmic ray electrons and positrons (CRes) via inverse Compton scattering of solar photons. The former come from the solar disk […]

Background Determination for the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Dark Matter Experiment

Kavli Affiliate: C. M. Ignarra | First 5 Authors: J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, F. Alder, S. K. Alsum | Summary: The LUX-ZEPLIN experiment recently reported limits on WIMP-nucleus interactions from its initial science run, down to $6.5times10^{-48}$ cm$^2$ for the spin-independent interaction of a 30 GeV/c$^2$ WIMP at 90% confidence […]
