TESS Shines Light on the Origin of the Ambiguous Nuclear Transient ASASSN-18el

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Jason T. Hinkle, Christopher S. Kochanek, Benjamin J. Shappee, Patrick J. Vallely, Katie Auchettl | Summary: We analyze high-cadence data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) of the ambiguous nuclear transient (ANT) ASASSN-18el. The optical changing-look phenomenon in ASASSN-18el has been argued to be due to […]

Nonadiabatic transition paths from quantum jump trajectories

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Michelle C. Anderson, Addison J. Schile, David T. Limmer, , | Summary: We present a means of studying rare reactive pathways in open quantum systems using Transition Path Theory and ensembles of quantum jump trajectories. This approach allows for elucidation of reactive paths for dissipative, nonadiabatic […]

Minimal Joint Entropy and Order-Preserving Couplings

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Ya-Jing Ma, Feng Wang, Xian-Yuan Wu, Kai-Yuan Cai, | Summary: This paper focuses on the extreme-value problem for Shannon entropy of the joint distribution with given marginals. It is proved that the minimum-entropy coupling must be of order-preserving, while the maximum-entropy coupling coincides with the independent one. […]

Gate-Tunable Spin-Orbit Coupling in a Germanium Hole Double Quantum Dot

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: He Liu, Ting Zhang, Ke Wang, Fei Gao, Gang Xu | Summary: Hole spins confined in semiconductor quantum dot systems have gained considerable interest for their strong spin-orbit interactions (SOIs) and relatively weak hyperfine interactions. Here we experimentally demonstrate a tunable SOI in a double quantum dot […]

Model Predictive Loitering and Trajectory Tracking of Suspended Payloads in Cable-Driven Balloons Using UGVs

Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Julius Wanner, Eric Sihite, Alireza Ramezani, Morteza Gharib, | Summary: The feasibility of performing airborne and ground manipulation, perception, and reconnaissance using wheeled rovers, unmanned aerial vehicles, CubeSats, SmallSats and more have been evaluated before. Among all of these solutions, balloon-based systems possess merits that make them […]

The ISM of high-redshift galaxies: clues from C III] and [C II] lines

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Vladan Markov, Stefano Carniani, Livia Vallini, Andrea Ferrara, Andrea Pallottini | Summary: A tight relation between [C II] $ 158 {rm{mu m}}$ line luminosity and star formation rate (SFR) is observed in local galaxies. At $z > 5$, galaxies instead deviate downwards from the local $Sigma_{rm{[C II]}}-Sigma_{rm{SFR}}$ […]

The interstellar medium of high-redshift galaxies: Gathering clues from C III] and [C II] lines

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Vladan Markov, Stefano Carniani, Livia Vallini, Andrea Ferrara, Andrea Pallottini | Summary: A tight relation between [C II] line luminosity and the star formation rate (SFR) has been observed for local galaxies. At high redshift (z > 5), galaxies instead deviate downwards from the local $Sigma$_[C II] […]
