Kavli Affiliate: Steven W. Allen | First 5 Authors: Zhenlin Zhu, Aurora Simionescu, Hiroki Akamatsu, Xiaoyuan Zhang, Jelle S. Kaastra | Summary: Previous X-ray studies of the Perseus Cluster, consisting of 85 Suzaku pointings along eight azimuthal directions, revealed a particularly steep decrease in the projected temperature profile near the virial radius (~r200) towards the […]
Kavli Affiliate: R. Morris | First 5 Authors: R. Abuter, A. Amorim, M. Bauböck, F. Baganoff, J. P. Berge | Summary: We report the time-resolved spectral analysis of a bright near-infrared and moderate X-ray flare of Sgr A*. We obtained light curves in the $M$-, $K$-, and $H$-bands in the mid- and near-infrared and in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Susan E. Clark | First 5 Authors: Sarah Pearson, Susan E. Clark, Alexis J. Demirjian, Kathryn V. Johnston, Melissa K. Ness | Summary: Stellar streams from globular clusters (GCs) offer constraints on the nature of dark matter and have been used to explore the dark matter halo structure and substructure of our Galaxy. […]
Kavli Affiliate: C. L. Kuo | First 5 Authors: J. A. Sobrin, A. J. Anderson, A. N. Bender, B. A. Benson, D. Dutcher | Summary: SPT-3G is the third survey receiver operating on the South Pole Telescope dedicated to high-resolution observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Sensitive measurements of the temperature and polarization anisotropies […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Santi Roca-Fàbrega, Ji-hoon Kim, Loic Hausammann, Kentaro Nagamine, Johnny W. Powell | Summary: We present a suite of high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations to $z=4$ of a $10^{12},{rm M}_{odot}$ halo at $z=0$, obtained using seven contemporary astrophysical simulation codes widely used in the numerical galaxy formation community. Physics […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Robert Avram, Jeffrey E. Olgin, Alvin Wan, Zeeshan Ahmed, Louis Verreault-Julien | Summary: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of adult death in the United States and worldwide, and for which the coronary angiography procedure is the primary gateway for diagnosis and clinical management decisions. […]
Kavli Affiliate: T. A. Shutt | First 5 Authors: R. Linehan, R. L. Mannino, A. Fan, C. M. Ignarra, S. Luitz | Summary: The dual-phase xenon time projection chamber (TPC) is a powerful tool for direct-detection experiments searching for WIMP dark matter, other dark matter models, and neutrinoless double-beta decay. Successful operation of such a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Philip J. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Ji Won Park, Ashley Villar, Yin Li, Yan-Fei Jiang, Shirley Ho | Summary: Among the most extreme objects in the Universe, active galactic nuclei (AGN) are luminous centers of galaxies where a black hole feeds on surrounding matter. The variability patterns of the light emitted by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Michael A. Fedderke, Peter W. Graham, Derek F. Jackson Kimball, Saarik Kalia, | Summary: We propose the use of the Earth as a transducer for ultralight dark-matter detection. In particular we point out a novel signal of kinetically mixed dark-photon dark matter: a monochromatic oscillating magnetic […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger Blandford | First 5 Authors: Sebastian Meuren, David A. Reis, Roger Blandford, Phil H. Bucksbaum, Nathaniel J. Fisch | Summary: Novel emergent phenomena are expected to occur under conditions exceeding the QED critical electric field, where the vacuum becomes unstable to electron-positron pair production. The required intensity to reach this regime, $sim10^{29},mathrm{Wcm^{-2}}$, […]
