Kavli Affiliate: Susan Clark | Summary:We present a distance-resolved reconstruction of the local line-of-sight Galactic magnetic field, $B_$, by combining a 3D electron density ($n_e$) map derived from dust map-informed simulations and a full-sky map of Faraday rotation measure (RM). The forward model evaluates RM on the same 3D grid as the $n_e$ map and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Darrell Schlom | Summary:Nanoscale topological polar textures promise new functionalities for ferroelectric memories and logic, yet their three-dimensional structure and mesoscale organization remain experimentally inaccessible. Here we introduce depth-resolved electron diffraction imaging (DREDI), a fast, non-destructive, method that maps polarization with <50 nm lateral and <10 nm depth sensitivity within fraction of a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Fukun Liu| Summary: We present a multi-epoch study of the extreme X-ray variability of the type~1 quasar SDSS~J000532.84+200717.4 using archival observations from textitXMM-Newton, textitSwift/XRT, textitEP-FXT, and textitROSAT, together with new optical spectroscopy and multi-wavelength photometry. The 0.2–10~keV X-ray flux exhibits a transition from a high state to a subsequent low state, declining by […]

Kavli Affiliate: Darrell Schlom | Summary:The coexisting rhombohedral-like (R’, MA) and tetragonal-like (T’, MC) monoclinic phases in compressively strained bismuth ferrite thin films exhibit exceptional piezoelectric and magnetic properties. While previous studies have largely focused on probing the morphotropic phase boundaries (MPBs) comprising ordered R’/T’ twins, their self-organizing structures remain not fully explored. Here, we […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen| Summary: Accurately modeling the inspiral-merger-ringdown (IMR) signal of coalescing compact objects is essential for the test of general relativity. However, it is known that astrophysical environments can distort gravitational-wave (GW) signal and, if ignored, may bias parameter estimation or even our understanding of gravity. Previous studies suggest that various astrophysical environmental […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | Summary:We present a suite of radiation-magnetohydrodynamics simulations from the POPSICLE project that follow the long-term growth (~50 kyr) of primordial protostars while self-consistently coupling radiation, turbulence, and magnetic fields. The simulation suite is designed to quantify the relative impacts of the pathways of radiative feedback in Pop III stars – […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | Summary:The spin-flip 21-cm signal from the Cosmic Dawn and the Epoch of Reionization is an essential probe of the conditions that led to the formation of the first luminous objects in the early Universe. However, its detection remains a major challenge owing to its low strength compared to the bright […]
Kavli Affiliate: James Bock | Summary:The SPHEREx near-infrared space telescope is an all-sky spectroscopic survey mission launched on March 12th, 2025 UTC. In addition to providing the community with a spectral database applicable to a wide range of investigations, it is optimized to address three core science goals: to survey the large scale structure of […]
