Electron Thermalization and Relaxation in Laser-Heated Nickel by Few-Femtosecond Core-Level Transient Absorption Spectroscopy

Posted by klaurent September 29, 2020Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Scott K. Cushing | First 5 Authors: Hung-Tzu Chang, Alexander Guggenmos, Scott K. Cushing, Yang Cui, Naseem Ud Din | Summary: Direct measurements of photoexcited carrier dynamics in nickel are made using few-femtosecond extreme ultraviolet (XUV) transient absorption spectroscopy at the nickel M$_{2,3}$ edge. It is observed that the core-level absorption lineshape of […]

A Standard Siren Cosmological Measurement from the Potential GW190521 Electromagnetic Counterpart ZTF19abanrhr

Posted by klaurent September 29, 2020MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Hsin-Yu Chen, Carl-Johan Haster, Salvatore Vitale, Will M. Farr, Maximiliano Isi | Summary: The identification of the electromagnetic counterpart candidate ZTF19abanrhr to the binary black hole merger GW190521 opens the possibility to infer cosmological parameters from this standard siren with a uniquely identified host galaxy. The distant […]

TOI 540 b: A Planet Smaller than Earth Orbiting a Nearby Rapidly Rotating Low-mass Star

Posted by klaurent September 28, 2020MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Robert F. Goeke | First 5 Authors: Kristo Ment, Jonathan Irwin, David Charbonneau, Jennifer G. Winters, Amber Medina | Summary: We present the discovery of TOI 540 b, a hot planet slightly smaller than Earth orbiting the low-mass star 2MASS J05051443-4756154. The planet has an orbital period of $P = 1.239149$ days ($pm$ […]

On the vanishing orbital X-ray variability of the eclipsing binary millisecond pulsar 47 Tuc W

Posted by klaurent September 28, 2020Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Pavan R. Hebbar, Craig O. Heinke, D. Kandel, Roger W. Romani, | Summary: Redback millisecond pulsars (MSPs) typically show pronounced orbital variability in their X-ray emission due to our changing view of the intrabinary shock (IBS) between the pulsar wind and stellar wind from the companion. […]

TOI-811b and TOI-852b: New transiting brown dwarfs with similar masses and very different radii and ages from the TESS mission

Posted by klaurent September 28, 2020MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew M. Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Theron W. Carmichael, Samuel N. Quinn, George Zhou, Nolan Grieves, Francois Bouchy | Summary: We report the discovery of two transiting brown dwarfs (BDs), TOI-811b and TOI-852b, from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite mission. These two transiting BDs have similar masses, but very different radii and […]

Rolling Waves with Non-Paraxial Phonon Spins

Posted by klaurent September 28, 2020Harvard

Kavli Affiliate: David A. Weitz | First 5 Authors: Peng Zhang, Christian Kern, Sijie Sun, David A. Weitz, Pai Wang | Summary: We demonstrate a new class of elastic waves in the bulk: When longitudinal and transverse components propagate at the same speed, rolling waves with a spin that is not parallel to the wave […]

A Comparison of Rest-frame Ultraviolet and Optical Emission-Line Diagnostics in the Lensed Galaxy SDSS J1723+3411 at Redshift z=1.3293

Posted by klaurent September 25, 2020Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Michael D. Gladders | First 5 Authors: J. R. Rigby, Michael Florian, A. Acharyya, Matthew Bayliss, Michael D. Gladders | Summary: For the extremely bright lensed galaxy SDSS J1723+3411 at z=1.3293 , we analyze spatially integrated MMT, Keck, and Hubble Space Telescope spectra that fully cover the rest-frame wavelength range of 1400 to […]

The First Extensive Spectroscopic Study of Young Stars in the North America and Pelican Nebulae Region

Posted by klaurent September 25, 2020Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Min Fang, Lynne A. Hillenbrand, Jinyoung Serena Kim, Krzysztof Findeisen, Gregory J. Herczeg | Summary: We present a spectroscopic survey of over 3400 potential members in the North America and Pelican nebulae (NAP) using several low-resolution ($Rapprox$ 1300-2000) spectrographs: Palomar/Norris, WIYN/HYDRA, Keck/DEIMOS, and MMT/Hectospec. We identify […]

Exciton-Trion-Polaritons in Two-Dimensional Materials

Posted by klaurent September 24, 2020Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Farhan Rana | First 5 Authors: Farhan Rana, Okan Koksal, Minwoo Jung, Gennady Shvets, A. Nick Vamivakas | Summary: We present a many-body theory for exciton-trion-polaritons in doped two-dimensional materials. Exciton-trion-polaritons are robust coherent hybrid excitations involving excitons, trions, and photons. Signatures of these polaritons have been recently seen in experiments. In these […]

X-ray constraints on the spectral energy distribution of the $z=5.18$ blazar SDSS J013127.34-032100.1

Posted by klaurent September 24, 2020Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Hongjun An, Roger W. Romani, , , | Summary: We report on X-ray measurements constraining the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the high-redshift $z=5.18$ blazar SDSS J013127.34$-$032100.1 with new XMM-Newton and NuSTAR exposures. The blazar’s X-ray spectrum is well fit by a power law with $Gamma=1.9$ […]
