Kavli Affiliate: Stuart L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Mariko Kimura, Keisuke Isogai, Taichi Kato, Yoshihiro Ueda, Satoshi Nakahira | Summary: How black holes accrete surrounding matter is a fundamental, yet unsolved question in astrophysics. It is generally believed that matter is absorbed into black holes via accretion disks, the state of which depends primarily […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Byer | First 5 Authors: Shailendhar Saraf, Sasha Buchman, Karthik Balakrishnan, Chin Yang Lui, Michael Soulage | Summary: The UV LED mission demonstrates the precise control of the potential of electrically isolated test masses that is essential for the operation of space accelerometers and drag free sensors. Accelerometers and drag free sensors […]
Kavli Affiliate: Norbert Schulz | First 5 Authors: Jeroen Homan, Joseph Neilsen, Jessamyn L. Allen, Deepto Chakrabarty, Rob Fender | Summary: Recent work on jets and disk winds in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) suggests that they are to a large extent mutually exclusive, with jets observed in spectrally hard states and disk winds observed in […]
Kavli Affiliate: R. G. McMahon | First 5 Authors: Dale Mudd, Paul Martini, Suk Sien Tie, Chris Lidman, Richard McMahon | Summary: We present the discovery of a z=0.65 low-ionization broad absorption line (LoBAL) quasar in a post-starburst galaxy in data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and spectroscopy from the Australian Dark Energy Survey […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kunio Inoue | First 5 Authors: Ken-Ichi Fushimi, Hiroyasu Ejiri, Ryuta Hazama, Haruo Ikeda, Kunio Inoue | Summary: A high purity and large volume NaI(Tl) scintillator was developed to search for cosmic dark matter. The required densities of radioactive impurities (RIs) such as U-chain, Th-chain are less than a few ppt to establish […]
Kavli Affiliate: N. C. Yeh | First 5 Authors: J. -K. Chang, C. -C. Hsu, S. -Y. Liu, C. -I Wu, M. Gharib | Summary: The environmental aging effect of doped graphene is investigated as a function of the organic doping species, humidity, and the number of graphene layers adjacent to the dopant by studies […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Muller | First 5 Authors: Christel Baier, Stefan Kiefer, Joachim Klein, David Müller, James Worrell | Summary: Unambiguous automata are nondeterministic automata in which every word has at most one accepting run. In this paper we give a polynomial-time algorithm for model checking discrete-time Markov chains against omega-regular specifications represented as unambiguous […]
Kavli Affiliate: Donald G. York | First 5 Authors: Ryan J. Oelkers, Lucas M. Macri, Lifan Wang, Michael C. B. Ashley, Xiangqun Cui | Summary: The Chinese Small Telescope ARray (CSTAR) carried out high-cadence time-series observations of 20.1 square degrees centered on the South Celestial Pole during the 2008, 2009 & 2010 winter seasons from […]
Kavli Affiliate: Juan I. Collar | First 5 Authors: Craig E. Aalseth, Juan I. Collar, Jim Colaresi, James E. Fast, Todd W. Hossbach | Summary: Recent progress on the development of very low noise high purity germanium ionization spectrometers has produced an instrument of 1.2 kg mass and excellent noise performance. The detector was installed […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yu V. Nazarov | First 5 Authors: E. Strambini, S. D’Ambrosio, F. Vischi, F. S. Bergeret, Yu. V. Nazarov | Summary: Multi-terminal superconducting Josephson junctions based on the proximity effect offer the bright opportunity to tailor non trivial quantum states in nanoscale weak-links. These structures can realize exotic topologies in multidimensions as, for […]
