Deep XMM-Newton Observations of the Most Distant SPT-SZ Galaxy Cluster

Kavli Affiliate: Lindsey E. Bleem | First 5 Authors: Adam B. Mantz, Steven W. Allen, R. Glenn Morris, Rebecca E. A. Canning, Matthew Bayliss | Summary: We present results from a 577 ks XMM-Newton observation of SPT-CL J0459-4947, the most distant cluster detected in the South Pole Telescope 2500 square degree (SPT-SZ) survey, and currently […]

Mass loss from massive globular clusters in tidal fields

Kavli Affiliate: Rainer Spurzem | First 5 Authors: Yohai Meiron, Jeremy J. Webb, Jongsuk Hong, Peter Berczik, Rainer Spurzem | Summary: Massive globular clusters lose stars via internal and external processes. Internal processes include mainly two-body relaxation, while external processes include interactions with the Galactic tidal field. We perform a suite of N-body simulations of […]

High-throughput search for magnetic and topological order in transition metal oxides

Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Nathan C. Frey, Matthew K. Horton, Jason M. Munro, Sinéad M. Griffin, Kristin A. Persson | Summary: The discovery of intrinsic magnetic topological order in $rm MnBi_2Te_4$ has invigorated the search for materials with coexisting magnetic and topological phases. These multi-order quantum materials are expected to […]

Will LISA Detect Harmonic Gravitational Waves from Galactic Cosmic String Loops?

Kavli Affiliate: Craig J. Hogan | First 5 Authors: Zimu Khakhaleva-Li, Craig J. Hogan, , , | Summary: Rapid advancement in the observation of cosmic strings has been made in recent years placing increasingly stringent constraints on their properties, with $Gmulesssim 10^{-11}$ from Pulsar Timing Array (PTA). Cosmic string loops with low string tension clump […]

New bounds on macroscopic scalar-field topological defects from non-transient signatures due to environmental dependence and spatial variations of the fundamental constants

Kavli Affiliate: Yevgeny V. Stadnik | First 5 Authors: Yevgeny V. Stadnik, , , , | Summary: We point out that in models of macroscopic topological defects composed of one or more scalar fields that interact with standard-model fields via scalar-type couplings, the back-action of ambient matter on the scalar field(s) produces an environmental dependence […]

Automated Measurements of Key Morphological Features of Human Embryos for IVF

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Needleman | First 5 Authors: Brian D. Leahy, Won-Dong Jang, Helen Y. Yang, Robbert Struyven, Donglai Wei | Summary: A major challenge in clinical In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is selecting the highest quality embryo to transfer to the patient in the hopes of achieving a pregnancy. Time-lapse microscopy provides clinicians with a wealth […]

Quantifying the statistics of CMB-lensing-derived galaxy cluster mass measurements with simulations

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | First 5 Authors: Íñigo Zubeldia, Anthony Challinor, , , | Summary: CMB lensing is a promising, novel way to measure galaxy cluster masses that can be used, e.g., for mass calibration in galaxy cluster counts analyses. Understanding the statistics of the galaxy cluster mass observable obtained with such measurements is […]

Entanglement of Local Operators and the Butterfly Effect

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Nozaki | First 5 Authors: Jonah Kudler-Flam, Masahiro Nozaki, Shinsei Ryu, Mao Tian Tan, | Summary: We study the robustness of quantum and classical information to perturbations implemented by local operator insertions. We do this by computing multipartite entanglement measures in the Hilbert space of local operators in the Heisenberg picture. The […]
