FAST discovery of an extremely radio-faint millisecond pulsar from the Fermi-LAT unassociated source 3FGL J0318.1+0252

Kavli Affiliate: Peter F. Michelson | First 5 Authors: Pei Wang, Di Li, Colin J. Clark, Pablo Saz Parkinson, Xian Hou | Summary: High sensitivity radio searches of unassociated $gamma$-ray sources have proven to be an effective way of finding new pulsars. Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) during its commissioning phase, we […]

Three roads to the geometric constraint formulation of gravitational theories with boundaries

Kavli Affiliate: J. S. Villasenor | First 5 Authors: Fernando Barbero, Marc Basquens, Valle Varo, Eduardo J. S. VillaseƱor, | Summary: The Hamiltonian description of mechanical or field models defined by singular Lagrangians plays a central role in physics. A number of methods are known for this purpose, the most popular of them being the […]

Probing Extremal Gravitational-Wave Events with Coarse-Grained Likelihoods

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Reed Essick, Amanda Farah, Shanika Galaudage, Colm Talbot, Maya Fishbach | Summary: As catalogs of gravitational-wave transients grow, new records are set for the most extreme systems observed to date. The most massive observed black holes probe the physics of pair instability supernovae while providing clues […]

Subregion Spectrum Form Factor via Pseudo Entropy

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Nozaki | First 5 Authors: Kanato Goto, Masahiro Nozaki, Kotaro Tamaoka, , | Summary: We introduce a subsystem generalization of the spectral form factor via pseudo entropy, the von-Neumann entropy for the reduced transition matrix. We consider a transition matrix between the thermofield double state and its time-evolved state in two-dimensional conformal […]

Machine-Learning media bias

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Samantha D’Alonzo, Max Tegmark, , , | Summary: We present an automated method for measuring media bias. Inferring which newspaper published a given article, based only on the frequencies with which it uses different phrases, leads to a conditional probability distribution whose analysis lets us automatically map […]

Combined dark matter searches towards dwarf spheroidal galaxies with Fermi-LAT, HAWC, H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS

Kavli Affiliate: Eric Charles | First 5 Authors: Celine Armand, Eric Charles, Mattia di Mauro, Chiara Giuri, J. Patrick Harding | Summary: Cosmological and astrophysical observations suggest that 85% of the total matter of the Universe is made of Dark Matter (DM). However, its nature remains one of the most challenging and fundamental open questions […]

Topological modular forms and the absence of all heterotic global anomalies

Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Yuji Tachikawa, Mayuko Yamashita, , , | Summary: We reformulate the question of the absence of global anomalies of heterotic string theory mathematically in terms of a certain natural transformation $mathrm{TMF}^bulletto (I_{mathbb{Z}}Omega^text{string})^{bullet-20}$, from topological modular forms to the Anderson dual of string bordism groups, using the Segal-Stolz-Teichner […]

Concordance: In-flight Calibration of X-ray Telescopes without Absolute References

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Herman L. Marshall, Yang Chen, Jeremy J. Drake, Matteo Guainazzi, Vinay L. Kashyap | Summary: We describe a process for cross-calibrating the effective areas of X-ray telescopes that observe common targets. The targets are not assumed to be "standard candles" in the classic sense, in that […]
