Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Gabriele Franciolini, Vishal Baibhav, Valerio De Luca, Ken K. Y. Ng, Kaze W. K. Wong | Summary: With several dozen binary black hole events detected by LIGO/Virgo to date and many more expected in the next few years, gravitational-wave astronomy is shifting from individual-event analyses to population […]
Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Y. Homayouni, Megan R. Sturm, Jonathan R. Trump, Keith Horne, C. J. Grier | Summary: We present accretion-disk structure measurements from UV-optical reverberation mapping observations of a sample of eight quasars at 0.24<z<0.85. Ultraviolet photometry comes from two cycles of Hubble Space Telescope monitoring, accompanied by […]
Kavli Affiliate: John E. Carlstrom | First 5 Authors: Ramesh Narayan, Daniel C. M. Palumbo, Michael D. Johnson, Zachary Gelles, Elizabeth Himwich | Summary: Synchrotron radiation from hot gas near a black hole results in a polarized image. The image polarization is determined by effects including the orientation of the magnetic field in the emitting […]
Kavli Affiliate: Rana X. Adhikari | First 5 Authors: M. Saleem, Javed Rana, V. Gayathri, Aditya Vijaykumar, Srashti Goyal | Summary: The global network of gravitational-wave detectors has completed three observing runs with $sim 50$ detections of merging compact binaries. A third LIGO detector, with comparable astrophysical reach, is to be built in India (LIGO-Aundha) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gabor Furesz | First 5 Authors: Danielle Frostig, John W. Baker, Joshua Brown, Richard S. Burruss, Kristin Clark | Summary: The Wide-field Infrared Transient Explorer (WINTER) is a 1×1 degree infrared survey telescope under development at MIT and Caltech, and slated for commissioning at Palomar Observatory in 2021. WINTER is a seeing-limited infrared […]

Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Lam Hui, Austin Joyce, Riccardo Penco, Luca Santoni, Adam R. Solomon | Summary: It is well known that asymptotically flat black holes in general relativity have a vanishing static, conservative tidal response. We show that this is a result of linearly realized symmetries governing static (spin 0,1,2) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | First 5 Authors: John Steinmetz, Debmalya Das, Irfan Siddiqi, Andrew N. Jordan, | Summary: We analyze the continuous monitoring of a qudit coupled to a cavity using both phase-preserving and phase-sensitive amplification. The quantum trajectories of the system are described by a stochastic master equation, for which we derive the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Brainard | Authors: DG. Mets, W. H. Mehaffey, B. M. Colquitt and M. S. Brainard | Summary: Abstract The authors have withdrawn this manuscript. During revision of our manuscript, we carried out several lines of additional experiments and analyses that failed to fully support and reproduce the results previously presented in Figure […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jonathan L. Rosner | First 5 Authors: Marek Karliner, Jonathan L. Rosner, , , | Summary: We comment on the recent evidence by the LHCb Collaboration for a structure in the $J/psi Lambda$ final state produced in the decay $Xi^-_b to J/psi Lambda K^-$, with minimal quark content $c bar c u d […]
