Interplay of Zeeman field, Rashba spin-orbit interaction, and superconductivity: Transition temperature and quasiparticle excitation

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Chen Pang, Yi Zhou, , , | Summary: This paper provides a theoretical analysis on the effects of an external Zeeman field and Rashba spin-orbit interactions on superconductivity. We have extensively studied their influence on the superconducting transition temperature $T_c$ and the quasiparticle excitation energy. Our investigation […]

Mind the kinematics simulation of planet-disk interactions: time evolution and numerical resolution

Kavli Affiliate: Ruobing Dong | First 5 Authors: Kan Chen, Ruobing Dong, , , | Summary: Planet-disk interactions can produce kinematic signatures in protoplanetary disks. While recent observations have detected non-Keplerian gas motions in disks, their origins are still being debated. To explore this, we conduct 3D hydrodynamic simulations using the code FARGO3D to study […]

Early auditory and adult mating experiences interact with singer identity to shape neural responses to song in female zebra finches

Kavli Affiliate: Sarah Woolley | Authors: Isabella Catalano and Sarah C Woolley | Summary: Social and sensory experiences across the lifespan can shape social interactions, however, experience-dependent plasticity is widely studied within discrete life stages. In the socially monogamous zebra finch, in which females use learned vocal signals to identify individuals and form long-lasting pair […]

A long spin period for a sub-Neptune-mass exoplanet

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Ellen M. Price, Juliette Becker, ZoĆ« L. de Beurs, Leslie A. Rogers, Andrew Vanderburg | Summary: HIP 41378 f is a sub-Neptune exoplanet with an anomalously low density. Its long orbital period and deep transit make it an ideal candidate for detecting oblateness photometrically. We present a […]

Age-dating early quiescent galaxies: high star-formation efficiency, but consistent with direct, higher-redshift observations

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Crispin Turner, Sandro Tacchella, Francesco D’Eugenio, Stefano Carniani, Mirko Curti | Summary: We present a detailed analysis of JWST/NIRSpec and NIRCam observations of ZF-UDS-7329, a massive, quiescent galaxy at redshift $z=3.2$, which has been put forward to challenge cosmology and galaxy formation physics. Our study extends previous […]

Tomographic constraint on anisotropic cosmic birefringence

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Toshiya Namikawa, , , , | Summary: We for the first time constrain anisotropic cosmic birefringence generated at reionization using Planck PR4 polarization data. Several recent analyses of WMAP and Planck polarization data have found a tantalizing hint of isotropic cosmic birefringence. Ongoing and future CMB experiments […]

Classification of radio backgrounds at cosmic dawn and 21-cm signal confirmation using neural networks

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Sudipta Sikder, Anastasia Fialkov, Rennan Barkana, , | Summary: Several ongoing and upcoming radio telescopes aim to detect either the global 21-cm signal or the 21-cm power spectrum. The extragalactic radio background, as detected by ARCADE-2 and LWA-1, suggests a strong radio background from cosmic dawn, which […]
