Kavli Affiliate: T. A. Shutt | First 5 Authors: The LUX-ZEPLIN, Collaboration, :, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi | Summary: The projected sensitivity of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment to two-neutrino and neutrinoless double beta decay of $^{134}$Xe is presented. LZ is a 10-tonne xenon time projection chamber optimized for the detection of dark […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sarah E. Church | First 5 Authors: Jaime E. Pineda, Anika Schmiedeke, Paola Caselli, Steven W. Stahler, David T. Frayer | Summary: Dense cores are the final place where turbulence is dissipated. It has been proposed from theoretical arguments that the non-thermal velocity dispersion should be narrower both for molecular ions (compared to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Laura Schaefer | First 5 Authors: Maggie A. Thompson, Myriam Telus, Laura Schaefer, Jonathan J. Fortney, Toyanath Joshi | Summary: Terrestrial exoplanets likely form initial atmospheres through outgassing during and after accretion, although there is currently no first-principles understanding of how to connect a planet’s bulk composition to its early atmospheric properties. Important […]
Kavli Affiliate: Vahe Petrosian | First 5 Authors: Houdun Zeng, Vahé Petrosian, Tingfeng Yi, , | Summary: Multi-wavelength analyses of spectra of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) provide useful information on the physical processes in the accretion disk and jets of black holes. This, however, is limited to bright sources and may not represent the population […]
Kavli Affiliate: Giorgio Gratta | First 5 Authors: Shuoxing Wu, Brian Lenardo, Giorgio Gratta, , | Summary: We report on a low energy measurement of the ionization yield in a Tetramethylsilane Time Projection Chamber (TPC) using 2.8 MeV neutrons from a deuterium-deuterium neutron generator. The proton recoil charge yield is measured at four different electric […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Cameron | First 5 Authors: Sudip Mandal, Natalie A. Krivova, Robert Cameron, Sami K. Solanki, | Summary: Size distribution of sunspots provides key information about the generation and emergence processes of the solar magnetic field. Previous studies on the size distribution have primarily focused on either the whole group or individual spot […]
Kavli Affiliate: J. Todd Hoeksema | First 5 Authors: Richard E. L. Higgins, David F. Fouhey, Dichang Zhang, Spiro K. Antiochos, Graham Barnes | Summary: The Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) onboard NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) produces estimates of the photospheric magnetic field which are a critical input to many space weather modelling and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Brian Hayden, David Rubin, Kyle Boone, Greg Aldering, Jakob Nordin | Summary: The See Change survey was designed to make $z>1$ cosmological measurements by efficiently discovering high-redshift Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and improving cluster mass measurements through weak lensing. This survey observed twelve galaxy clusters with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott | Summary: We report results from searches for anisotropic stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds using data from the first three observing runs of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. For the first time, […]
