Revisiting AGN as the Source of IceCube’s Diffuse Neutrino Flux

Kavli Affiliate: Abigail Vieregg | First 5 Authors: Daniel Smith, Dan Hooper, Abigail Vieregg, , | Summary: The origin of the astrophysical neutrino flux reported by the IceCube Collaboration remains an open question. In this study, we use three years of publicly available IceCube data to search for evidence of neutrino emission from the blazars […]

Crystalline symmetry-protected non-trivial topology in prototype compound BaAl$_4$

Kavli Affiliate: Alessandra Lanzara | First 5 Authors: Kefeng Wang, Ryo Mori, Zhijun Wang, Limin Wang, Jonathan Han Son Ma | Summary: The BaAl$_4$ prototype crystal structure is the most populous of all structure types, and is the building block for a diverse set of sub-structures including the famous ThCr$_2$Si$_2$ family that hosts high-temperature superconductivity […]

An Ising Hamiltonian Solver using Stochastic Phase-Transition Nano- Oscillators

Kavli Affiliate: Darrell Schlom | First 5 Authors: Sourav Dutta, Abhishek Khanna, Adou S. Assoa, Hanjong Paik, Darrell Schlom | Summary: Computationally hard problems, including combinatorial optimization, can be mapped into the problem of finding the ground-state of an Ising Hamiltonian. Building physical systems with collective computational ability and distributed parallel processing capability can accelerate […]

Planetary Systems in a Star Cluster II: intermediate-mass black holes and planetary systems

Kavli Affiliate: Rainer Spurzem | First 5 Authors: Francesco Flammini Dotti, M. B. N. Kouwenhoven, Qi Shu, Wei Hao, Rainer Spurzem | Summary: Most stars form in dense stellar environments. It is speculated that some dense star clusters may host intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs), which may have formed from runaway collisions between high-mass stars, or […]

Doped Mott Insulators in the Triangular Lattice Hubbard Model

Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Zheng Zhu, D. N. Sheng, Ashvin Vishwanath, , | Summary: We investigate the evolution of the Mott insulators in the triangular lattice Hubbard Model, as a function of hole doping $delta$ in both the strong and intermediate coupling limits. Using the advanced density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) […]

On the survival of resonant and non-resonant planetary systems in star clusters

Kavli Affiliate: Rainer Spurzem | First 5 Authors: Katja Stock, Maxwell X. Cai, Rainer Spurzem, M. B. N. Kouwenhoven, Simon Portegies Zwart | Summary: Despite the discovery of thousands of exoplanets in recent years, the number of known exoplanets in star clusters remains tiny. This may be a consequence of close stellar encounters perturbing the […]

Microtextures in the Chelyabinsk impact breccia reveal the history of Phosphorus-Olivine-Assemblages in chondrites

Kavli Affiliate: Paul D. Asimow | First 5 Authors: Craig R. Walton, Ioannis Baziotis, Ana Černok, Oliver Shorttle, Paul D. Asimow | Summary: The geochemistry and textural associations of chondritic phosphate minerals can provide insights into the geological histories of parental asteroids, but the processes governing their formation and deformation remain poorly constrained. Here, we […]

Surface wave non-reciprocity via time-modulated metamaterials

Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Antonio Palermo, Paolo Celli, Behrooz Yousefzadeh, Chiara Daraio, Alessandro Marzani | Summary: We investigate how Rayleigh waves interact with modulated resonators located on the free surface of a semi-infinite elastic medium. We begin by studying the dynamics of a single resonator with time-modulated stiffness. In particular, we […]

Points2Surf: Learning Implicit Surfaces from Point Cloud Patches

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Philipp Erler, Paul Guerrero, Stefan Ohrhallinger, Michael Wimmer, Niloy J. Mitra | Summary: A key step in any scanning-based asset creation workflow is to convert unordered point clouds to a surface. Classical methods (e.g., Poisson reconstruction) start to degrade in the presence of noisy and partial scans. […]

A little FABLE: exploring AGN feedback in dwarf galaxies with cosmological simulations

Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Sophie Koudmani, Nicholas A. Henden, Debora Sijacki, , | Summary: Contrary to the standard lore, there is mounting observational evidence that feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN) may also play a role at the low-mass end of the galaxy population. We investigate this using the cosmological simulation […]
