Revealing the state transition of Cen X-3 at high spectral resolution with Chandra

Kavli Affiliate: Norbert Schulz | First 5 Authors: Graciela Sanjurjo-Ferrín, Jose Miguel Torrejón, Lida Oskinova, Konstantin Postnov, Jose Joaquín Rodes-Roca | Summary: Cen X-3 is a compact, high-mass X-ray binary (HMXRB), likely powered by Roche lobe overflow. We present a phase-resolved X-ray spectral and timing analysis of a target of opportunity textit{Chandra} observation made during […]

Revealing the state transition of Cen X-3 at high spectral resolution with Chandra

Kavli Affiliate: Norbert Schulz | Summary:Cen X-3 is a compact, high-mass X-ray binary (HMXRB), likely powered by Roche lobe overflow. We present a phase-resolved X-ray spectral and timing analysis of a target of opportunity textitChandra observation made during a low-flux to high-flux transition. The high-resolution spectra allow us to delve into the events that occurred […]

Sparse Optimization of Two-Dimensional Terahertz Spectroscopy

Kavli Affiliate: Ankit Disa | Summary:Two-dimensional terahertz spectroscopy (2DTS) is a low-frequency analogue of two-dimensional optical spectroscopy that is rapidly maturing as a probe of a wide variety of condensed matter systems. However, a persistent problem of 2DTS is the long experimental acquisition times, preventing its broader adoption. A potential solution, requiring no increase in […]

First Resolution of Microlensed Images of a Binary-Lens Event

Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Zexuan Wu, Subo Dong, A. Mérand, Christopher S. Kochanek, Przemek Mróz | Summary: We resolve the multiple images of the binary-lens microlensing event ASASSN-22av using the GRAVITY instrument of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI). The light curves show weak binary-lens perturbations, complicating the analysis, but the […]

First Resolution of Microlensed Images of a Binary-Lens Event

Kavli Affiliate: Jinyi Shangguan | Summary:We resolve the multiple images of the binary-lens microlensing event ASASSN-22av using the GRAVITY instrument of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI). The light curves show weak binary-lens perturbations, complicating the analysis, but the joint modeling with the VLTI data breaks several degeneracies, arriving at a strongly favored solution.

Chiral superfluid helium-3 in the quasi-two-dimensional limit

Kavli Affiliate: Jeevak Parpia | Summary:Anisotropic pair breaking close to surfaces favors the chiral A phase of the superfluid $^3$He over the time-reversal invariant B phase. Confining the superfluid $^3$He into a cavity of height $D$ of the order of the Cooper pair size characterized by the coherence length $ξ_0$ – ranging between 16 nm […]

Transdisciplinary collaborations for advancing sustainable and resilient agricultural systems

Kavli Affiliate: Abraham Stroock | Summary:Feeding the growing human population sustainably amidst climate change is one of the most important challenges in the 21st century. Current practices often lead to the overuse of agronomic inputs, such as synthetic fertilizers and water, resulting in environmental contamination and diminishing returns on crop productivity. The complexity of agricultural […]
