Effects of Interlayer Coupling on Hot Carrier Dynamics in Graphene-derived van der Waals Heterostructures
Prineha Narang, Litao Zhao, Steven Claybrook +1
Graphene exhibits promise as a plasmonic material with high mode confinement that could enable efficient hot carrier extraction. We investigate the lifetimes and mean free paths of…
How Do App Stores Challenge the Global Internet Governance Ecosystem?
Virgilio A. F. Almeida, Danilo Doneda, Carolina Rossini
App stores challenge the culture of openness and resistance to central authorities cultivated by the pioneers of the Internet. Could multistakeholder governance bodies bring more i…
A novel regime for the dynamical Casimir effect
B. E. Ordaz-Mendoza, S. F. Yelin
The dynamical Casimir effect (DCE) is the production of photons by the amplification of vacuum fluctuations. In this paper we demonstrate new resonance conditions in DCE that poten…
Globally coherent short duration magnetic field transients and their effect on ground based gravitational-wave detectors
Izabela Kowalska-Leszczynska, Marie-Anne Bizouard, Tomasz Bulik +8
It has been recognized that the magnetic fields from the Schumann resonances could affect the search for a stochastic gravitational-wave background by LIGO and Virgo. Presented her…
Sequential Peer Prediction: Learning to Elicit Effort using Posted Prices
Yang Liu, Yiling Chen
Peer prediction mechanisms are often adopted to elicit truthful contributions from crowd workers when no ground-truth verification is available. Recently, mechanisms of this type h…
Limiting the effects of earthquakes on gravitational-wave interferometers
Michael Coughlin, Paul Earle, Jan Harms +9
Ground-based gravitational wave interferometers such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) are susceptible to high-magnitude teleseismic events, which c…
Variational Boosting: Iteratively Refining Posterior Approximations
Andrew C. Miller, Nicholas Foti, Ryan P. Adams
We propose a black-box variational inference method to approximate intractable distributions with an increasingly rich approximating class. Our method, termed variational boosting,…
Non-Gaussianities due to Relativistic Corrections to the Observed Galaxy Bispectrum
E. Di Dio, H. Perrier, R. Durrer +4
High-precision constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity (PNG) will significantly improve our understanding of the physics of the early universe. Among all the subtleties in using…
Predicted Extension of the Sagittarius Stream to the Milky Way Virial Radius
Marion Dierickx, Abraham Loeb
The extensive span of the Sagittarius (Sgr) stream makes it a promising tool for studying the Milky Way gravitational potential. Characterizing its stellar kinematics can constrain…
Inferring Population Preferences via Mixtures of Spatial Voting Models
Alison Nahm, Alex Pentland, Peter Krafft
Understanding political phenomena requires measuring the political preferences of society. We introduce a model based on mixtures of spatial voting models that infers the underlyin…
Forward and Inverse Modeling of the Emission and Transmission Spectrum of GJ 436b: Investigating Metal Enrichment, Tidal Heating, and Clouds
Caroline V. Morley, Heather Knutson, Michael Line +5
The Neptune-mass GJ 436b is one of the most-studied transiting exoplanets with repeated measurements of both its thermal emission and transmission spectra. We build on previous stu…
Maximizing Science in the Era of LSST: A Community-Based Study of Needed US Capabilities
Joan Najita, Beth Willman, Douglas P. Finkbeiner +48
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will be a discovery machine for the astronomy and physics communities, revealing astrophysical phenomena from the Solar System to the out…
Superrotations and Black Hole Pair Creation
Andrew Strominger, Alexander Zhiboedov
Recent work has shown that the symmetries of classical gravitational scattering in asymptotically flat spacetimes include, at the linearized level, infinitesimal superrotations. Th…
ADAGIO: Fast Data-aware Near-Isometric Linear Embeddings
Jarosław Błasiok, Charalampos E. Tsourakakis
Many important applications, including signal reconstruction, parameter estimation, and signal processing in a compressed domain, rely on a low-dimensional representation of the da…
SPT-GMOS: A Gemini/GMOS-South Spectroscopic Survey of Galaxy Clusters in the SPT-SZ Survey
M. B. Bayliss, J. Ruel, C. W. Stubbs +75
We present the results of SPT-GMOS, a spectroscopic survey with the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) on Gemini South. The targets of SPT-GMOS are galaxy clusters identified…
iLocater: A Diffraction-limited Doppler Spectrometer for the Large Binocular Telescope
Justin R. Crepp, Jonathan Crass, David King +31
We are developing a stable and precise spectrograph for the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) named "iLocater." The instrument comprises three principal components: a cross-dispersed…
Detecting Relativistic X-ray Jets in High-Redshift Quasars
Kathryn McKeough, Aneta Siemiginowska, C. C. Cheung +12
We analyze Chandra X-ray images of a sample of 11 quasars that are known to contain kiloparsec scale radio jets. The sample consists of five high-redshift (z >= 3.6) flat-spectrum…
High fidelity point-spread function retrieval in the presence of electrostatic, hysteretic pixel response
Andrew Rasmussen, Augustin Guyonnet, Craig Lage +11
We employ electrostatic conversion drift calculations to match CCD pixel signal covariances observed in flat field exposures acquired using candidate sensor devices for the LSST Ca…
A remark on our paper "Negative Holomorphic curvature and positive canonical bundle"
Damin Wu, Shing-Tung Yau
This is a continuation of our first paper in [WY16]. There are two purposes of this paper: One is to give a proof of the main result in [WY16] without going through the argument de…
Scalable Betweenness Centrality Maximization via Sampling
Ahmad Mahmoody, Charalampos E. Tsourakakis, Eli Upfal
Betweenness centrality is a fundamental centrality measure in social network analysis. Given a large-scale network, how can we find the most central nodes? This question is of key…
