Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Tingting Lin, Shuang Du, Weihua Wang, Shujin Hou, Renxin Xu | Summary: Magnetic field may distort neutron stars (NSs), but its effect has not been robustly tested through gravitational-wave observation yet due to the absence of a fast rotating Galactic magnetar. Part of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are […]
Kavli Affiliate: Herre S. J. Van Der Zant | First 5 Authors: Makars Šiškins, Ekaterina Sokolovskaya, Martin Lee, Samuel Mañas-Valero, Dejan Davidovikj | Summary: Coupled nanomechanical resonators made of two-dimensional materials are promising for processing information with mechanical modes. However, the challenge for these types of systems is to control the coupling. Here, we demonstrate […]
Kavli Affiliate: Marcela Carena | First 5 Authors: Marcela Carena, Henry Lamm, Ying-Ying Li, Wanqiang Liu, | Summary: With advances in quantum computing, new opportunities arise to tackle challenging calculations in quantum field theory. We show that trotterized time-evolution operators can be related by analytic continuation to the Euclidean transfer matrix on an anisotropic lattice. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Angela V. Olinto | First 5 Authors: Mary Hall Reno, Luis A. Anchordoqui, Atri Bhattacharya, Austin Cummings, Johannes Eser | Summary: Recent theoretical work has explored dark matter accumulation in the Earth and its drift towards the center of the Earth that, for the current age of the Earth, does not necessarily result […]
Kavli Affiliate: R. Morris | First 5 Authors: R. Abuter, A. Amorim, M. Bauböck, F. Baganoff, J. P. Berge | Summary: We report the time-resolved spectral analysis of a bright near-infrared and moderate X-ray flare of Sgr A*. We obtained light curves in the $M$-, $K$-, and $H$-bands in the mid- and near-infrared and in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark J. Bowick | First 5 Authors: Mark J. Bowick, Nikta Fakhri, M. Cristina Marchetti, Sriram Ramaswamy, | Summary: This article summarizes some of the open questions in the field of active matter that have emerged during Active20, a nine-week program held at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP) in Spring 2020. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Takada | First 5 Authors: Xiangchong Li, Hironao Miyatake, Wentao Luo, Surhud More, Masamune Oguri | Summary: We present the galaxy shear catalog that will be used for the three-year cosmological weak gravitational lensing analyses using data from the Wide layer of the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) Subaru Strategic Program (SSP) Survey. The […]
Kavli Affiliate: Saul Rappaport | First 5 Authors: Samuel N. Quinn, Saul Rappaport, Andrew Vanderburg, Jason D. Eastman, Lorne A. Nelson | Summary: We report the detection of a single transit-like signal in the Kepler data of the slightly evolved F star KIC4918810. The transit duration is ~45 hours, and while the orbital period ($Psim10$ […]
Kavli Affiliate: Susan E. Clark | First 5 Authors: Sarah Pearson, Susan E. Clark, Alexis J. Demirjian, Kathryn V. Johnston, Melissa K. Ness | Summary: Stellar streams from globular clusters (GCs) offer constraints on the nature of dark matter and have been used to explore the dark matter halo structure and substructure of our Galaxy. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Grace Xing | First 5 Authors: Reet Chaudhuri, Zhen Chen, David Muller, Huili Grace Xing, Debdeep Jena | Summary: High-conductivity undoped GaN/AlN 2D hole gases (2DHGs), the p-type dual of the AlGaN/GaN 2D electron gases (2DEGs), have offered valuable insights into hole transport in GaN and enabled the first GaN GHz RF p-channel […]
