Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: D. Kandel, Roger W. Romani, Alexei V. Filippenko, Thomas G. Brink, WeiKang Zheng | Summary: We analyze photometry and spectra of the "redback" millisecond pulsar binary J2339$-$0533. These observations include new measurements from Keck and GROND, as well as archival measurements from the OISTER, WIYN, SOAR, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yukinobu Toda | First 5 Authors: Yalong Cao, Yukinobu Toda, , , | Summary: Let $X$ be a Calabi-Yau 4-fold and $D$ a smooth divisor on it. We consider tautological complex associated with $L=mathcal{O}_X(D)$ on the moduli space of Le Potier stable pairs and define its counting invariant by integrating the Euler class […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nicole A. Benedek | First 5 Authors: Ethan T. Ritz, Nicole A. Benedek, , , | Summary: The sensitivity of materials properties, particularly those of perovskite oxides, to epitaxial strain has been exploited to great advantage to create materials with new or enhanced properties. Although it has certainly been recognized that mismatch in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael M. Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Anna V. Payne, Benjamin J. Shappee, Jason T. Hinkle, Patrick J. Vallely, Christopher S. Kochanek | Summary: We present the discovery that ASASSN-14ko is a periodically flaring AGN at the center of the galaxy ESO 253-G003. At the time of its discovery by the All-Sky Automated […]
Kavli Affiliate: Edward W. Kolb | First 5 Authors: Edward W. Kolb, Andrew J. Long, , , | Summary: Starting with the de Broglie–Proca Lagrangian for a massive vector field, we calculate the number density of particles resulting from gravitational particle production (GPP) during inflation, with detailed consideration to the evolution of the number density […]
Kavli Affiliate: Katia Bertoldi | First 5 Authors: Gabriele Librandi, Eleonora Tubaldi, Katia Bertoldi, , | Summary: Nonreciprocity can be passively achieved by harnessing material nonlinearities. In particular, networks of nonlinear bistable elements with asymmetric energy landscapes have recently been shown to support unidirectional transition waves. However, in these systems energy can be transferred only […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Hiroki Yoneda, Kazuo Makishima, Teruaki Enoto, Dmitry Khangulyan, Takahiro Matsumoto | Summary: To understand the nature of the brightest gamma-ray binary system LS 5039, hard X-ray data of the object, taken with the Suzaku and NuSTAR observatories in 2007 and 2016, respectively, were analyzed. The two data […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tom Melia | First 5 Authors: Lukas Graf, Brian Henning, Xiaochuan Lu, Tom Melia, Hitoshi Murayama | Summary: We apply Hilbert series techniques to the enumeration of operators in the mesonic QCD chiral Lagrangian. Existing Hilbert series technologies for non-linear realizations are extended to incorporate the external fields. The action of charge conjugation […]
Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Kasra Hejazi, Zhu-Xi Luo, Leon Balents, , | Summary: We study untwisted heterobilayers of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic van der Waals materials, with in particular a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in the ferromagnetic layer. A continuum low energy field theory is utilized to study such systems. We develop a phase […]
Kavli Affiliate: Harry A. Atwater | First 5 Authors: Souvik Biswas, William S. Whitney, Meir Y. Grajower, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi | Summary: Black phosphorus (BP) offers considerable promise for infrared and visible photonics. Efficient tuning of the bandgap and higher subbands in BP by modulation of the Fermi level or application of vertical electric […]
