Q-balls Under Spontaneously Broken U(1) Symmetry

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Kawasaki, Kai Murai, Fuminobu Takahashi, , | Summary: We study the evolution of Q-balls under a spontaneously broken global $U(1)$ symmetry. Q-balls are stabilized by the conservation of $U(1)$ charge, but when the symmetry is spontaneously broken, the resulting Nambu-Goldstone (NG) boson can carry charge away […]

Light WIMPs and MeV Gamma-ray Detection with COSI

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Melia | First 5 Authors: Yu Watanabe, Shigeki Matsumoto, Christopher M. Karwin, Tom Melia, Michela Negro | Summary: Light weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), whose masses are in the sub-GeV scale, have been attracting more attention due to the negative results searching for traditional WIMPs. The light WIMPs are expected to produce […]

Sample Efficient Algorithms for Linear System Identification under Noisy Observations

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Yuyang Zhang, Xinhe Zhang, Jia Liu, Na Li, | Summary: In this paper, we focus on learning linear dynamical systems under noisy observations. In this setting, existing algorithms either yield biased parameter estimates, or suffer from large sample complexities. To address these issues, we adapt the instrumental […]

Disk-jet coupling across the spectral transition in supermassive black holes

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Jia-Lai Kang, Chris Done, Scott Hagen, Mai Liao, Matthew J. Temple | Summary: Accretion flows in both stellar and supermassive black holes show a distinct spectral transition. This is seen directly in binaries and changing look AGN, and also in a recent sample of eROSITA X-ray […]

Probing the UV with IR Axion Dark Matter Experiments

Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Jacob M. Leedom, Serah Moldovsky, Hitoshi Murayama, , | Summary: There is an ongoing and future experimental program searching for axions as both extensions of the Standard Model and as candidates for the observed dark matter. In this paper, we examine the feasibility of being able to […]

COSMOS-Web: Unraveling the Evolution of Galaxy Size and Related Properties at $2<z<10$

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Lilan Yang, Jeyhan S. Kartaltepe, Maximilien Franco, Xuheng Ding, Mark J. Achenbach | Summary: We measure galaxy sizes from $2 < z < 10$ using COSMOS-Web, the largest-area JWST imaging survey to date, covering $sim$0.54 deg$^2$. We analyze the rest-frame optical (~5000A) size evolution and its […]
