Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Alexander Madurowicz, Bruce Macintosh, , , | Summary: The prospect of combining integral field spectroscopy with the solar gravitational lens (SGL) to spectrally and spatially resolve the surfaces and atmospheres of extrasolar planets is investigated. The properties of hyperbolic orbits visiting the focal region of the SGL […]
Kavli Affiliate: Susan E. Clark | First 5 Authors: Enrique Lopez-Rodriguez, Melanie Clarke, Sachin Shenoy, William Vacca, Simon Coude | Summary: We describe the data processing of the Survey on extragALactic magnetiSm with SOFIA (SALSA Legacy Program). This first data release presents 33% (51.34h out of 155.7h, including overheads) of the total awarded time taken […]
Kavli Affiliate: Richard Partridge | First 5 Authors: Jonathan S. Wilson, Hanno Meyer zu Theenhausen, Belina von Krosigk, Elham Azadbakht, Ray Bunker | Summary: The SuperCDMS SNOLAB dark matter search experiment aims to be sensitive to energy depositions down to O(1 eV). This imposes requirements on the resolution, signal efficiency, and noise rejection of the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Roger Blandford | First 5 Authors: Roger Blandford, Noemie Globus, , , | Summary: We interpret the 1.3mm VLBI observations made by the Event Horizon Telescope of the black hole in M87. It is proposed that, instead of being a torus of accreting gas, the ring is a rotating, magnetically-dominated ergomagnetosphere that can […]

It is proposed that, instead of being a torus of accreting gas, the observed annular ring is a rotating, magnetically-dominated ergomagnetosphere […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Abel L. Peirson, Ioannis Liodakis, Roger W. Romani, , | Summary: Both leptonic and hadronic emission processes may contribute to blazar jet emission; which dominates in blazars’s high energy emission component remains an open question. Some intermediate synchrotron peaked blazars transition from their low to high […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter Graham | First 5 Authors: Jim Alexander, Vassilis Anastassopoulos, Rick Baartman, Stefan Baeßler, Franco Bedeschi | Summary: We describe a proposal to search for an intrinsic electric dipole moment (EDM) of the proton with a sensitivity of targetsens, based on the vertical rotation of the polarization of a stored proton beam. The […]
Kavli Affiliate: D. B. Macfarlane | First 5 Authors: SuperCDMS Collaboration, M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib, D. W. P. Amaral, T. Aralis | Summary: Recent experiments searching for sub-GeV/$c^2$ dark matter have observed event excesses close to their respective energy thresholds. Although specific to the individual technologies, the measured excess event rates have been consistently […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Michael A. Fedderke, Peter W. Graham, Bruce Macintosh, Surjeet Rajendran, | Summary: We evaluate the potential for gravitational-wave (GW) detection in the frequency band from 10 nHz to 1 $mu$Hz using extremely high-precision astrometry of a small number of stars. In particular, we argue that non-magnetic, photometrically […]
