Controlling the anisotropy of a van der Waals antiferromagnet with light

Posted by klaurent Delft

Kavli Affiliate: P. G. Steeneken | Summary:Magnetic van der Waals materials provide an ideal playground for exploring the fundamentals of low-dimensional magnetism and open new opportunities for ultrathin spin processing devices. The Mermin-Wagner theorem dictates that as in reduced dimensions isotropic spin interactions cannot retain long-range correlations; the order is stabilized by magnetic anisotropy. Here, […]

The effects of turbulence on galactic nuclear gas rings

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: R. Morris | First 5 Authors: Jesus M. Salas, Smadar Naoz, Mark R. Morris, , | Summary: The gas dynamics in the inner few kiloparsecs of barred galaxies often results in configurations that give rise to nuclear gas rings. However, the generic dynamical description of the formation of galactic nuclear rings does not […]

Assessing Classifier Fairness with Collider Bias

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Zhenlong Xu, Ziqi Xu, Jixue Liu, Debo Cheng, Jiuyong Li | Summary: The increasing application of machine learning techniques in everyday decision-making processes has brought concerns about the fairness of algorithmic decision-making. This paper concerns the problem of collider bias which produces spurious associations in fairness assessment […]

The X-ray properties of Eta Carinae during its 2020 X-ray minimum

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: David A. Principe | First 5 Authors: Amit Kashi, David A. Principe, Noam Soker, Joel H. Kastner, | Summary: The massive binary system Eta Carinae is characterized by intense colliding winds that form shocks and emit X-rays. The system is highly eccentric ($esimeq0.9$), resulting in modulated X-ray emission during its 5.54 year orbit. […]

A Tale of Two Transition Disks: ALMA long-baseline observations of ISO-Oph 2 reveal two closely packed non-axisymmetric rings and a $sim$2 au cavity

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Camilo González-Ruilova, Lucas A. Cieza, Antonio S. Hales, Sebastián Pérez, Alice Zurlo | Summary: ISO-Oph 2 is a wide-separation (240 au) binary system where the primary star harbors a massive (M$_{dust}$ $sim$40 M$_{oplus}$) ring-like disk with a dust cavity $sim$50 au in radius and the secondary […]

Bounds on velocity-dependent dark matter-proton scattering from Milky Way satellite abundance

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Karime Maamari, Vera Gluscevic, Kimberly K. Boddy, Ethan O. Nadler, Risa H. Wechsler | Summary: We use the latest measurements of the Milky Way satellite population from the Dark Energy Survey and Pan-STARRS1 to infer the most stringent astrophysical bound to date on velocity-dependent interactions between […]

The TeV Cosmic Ray Bump: a Message from Epsilon Indi or Epsilon Eridani Star?

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Igor V. Moskalenko | First 5 Authors: Mikhail A. Malkov, Igor V. Moskalenko, , , | Summary: A recently observed bump in the cosmic ray (CR) spectrum from 0.3–30 TV is likely caused by a stellar bow shock that reaccelerates emph{preexisting} CRs, which further propagate to the Sun along the magnetic field lines. […]

Robust laboratory limits on a cosmological spatial gradient in the electromagnetic fine-structure constant from accelerometer experiments

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Yevgeny V. Stadnik | First 5 Authors: Yevgeny V. Stadnik, , , , | Summary: Quasar absorption spectral data indicate the presence of a spatial gradient in the electromagnetic fine-structure constant $alpha$ on cosmological length scales. We point out that experiments with accelerometers, including torsion pendula and atom interferometers, can be used as […]

Rotation symmetry of the multiple-relaxation-time collision model

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Xuhui Li, Xuhui Li, , , | Summary: In the Hermite-expansion-based multiple-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann (LB) model [Shan & Chen, Int. J. Mod. Phys. C, 18, 635, (2007)], a separate relaxation time is assigned to each of the tensorial moments of the collision term. Here we point out […]

Gravitational Test Beyond the First Post-Newtonian Order with the Shadow of the M87 Black Hole

Posted by klaurent Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: John E. Carlstrom | First 5 Authors: Dimitrios Psaltis, Lia Medeiros, Pierre Christian, Feryal Ozel, Kazunori Akiyama | Summary: The 2017 Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observations of the central source in M87 have led to the first measurement of the size of a black-hole shadow. This observation offers a new and clean gravitational […]
