Low thermal noise mirror coatings utilising titanium dioxide and germanium dioxide mixtures
M. Fazio, I. W. Martin, P. Hill +16
Upgrades to ground-based gravitational-wave observatories will require mirror coatings with reduced thermal noise, enabling improved detector sensitivity and extended astrophysical…
DustPedia - A Definitive Study of Cosmic Dust in the Local Universe
J. I. Davies, M. Baes, S. Bianchi +20
The European Space Agency has invested heavily in two cornerstones missions; Herschel and Planck. The legacy data from these missions provides us with an unprecedented opportunity…
TOI-283 b: A transiting mini-Neptune in a 17.6-day orbit discovered with TESS and ESPRESSO
F. Murgas, E. Pallé, A. Suárez Mascareño +51
Super-Earths and mini-Neptunes are missing from our Solar System, yet they appear to be the most abundant planetary types in our Galaxy. A detailed characterization of key planets…
Exciton-polaritons in van der Waals heterostructures embedded in tunable microcavities
S. Dufferwiel, S. Schwarz, F. Withers +13
Layered materials can be assembled vertically to fabricate a new class of van der Waals (VDW) heterostructures a few atomic layers thick, compatible with a wide range of substrates…
Radial distribution of dust, stars, gas, and star-formation rate in DustPedia face-on galaxies
V. Casasola, L. P. Cassara, S. Bianchi +18
The purpose of this work is the characterization of the radial distribution of dust, stars, gas, and star-formation rate (SFR) in a sub-sample of 18 face-on spiral galaxies extract…
Atomic Diffusion in the Surface State of Mott Insulator NiS2
C. Clark, S. Friedemann
We present resistivity measurements of Mott insulator NiS2 single crystals after heat treatment. We find a strong increase of the low temperature resistivity that relaxes back towa…
High-resolution, 3D radiative transfer modelling IV. AGN-powered dust heating in NGC 1068
S. Viaene, A. Nersesian, J. Fritz +18
Dust emission, an important diagnostic of star formation and ISM mass throughout the Universe, can be powered by sources unrelated to ongoing star formation. In the framework of th…
Electrically pumped WSe-based light-emitting van der Waals heterostructures embedded in monolithic dielectric microcavities
O. Del Pozo-Zamudio, A. Genco, S. Schwarz +13
Vertical stacking of atomically thin layered materials opens new possibilities for the fabrication of heterostructures with favorable optoelectronic properties. The combination of…
