High C/O Ratio and Weak Thermal Inversion in the Very Hot Atmosphere of Exoplanet WASP-12b

Nikku Madhusudhan, Joseph Harrington, Kevin B. Stevenson +16

The carbon-to-oxygen ratio (C/O) in a planet provides critical information about its primordial origins and subsequent evolution. A primordial C/O greater than 0.8 causes a carbide…

Ultracool Dwarf Science from Widefield Multi-Epoch Surveys

N. R. Deacon, D. J. Pinfield, P. W. Lucas +9

Widefield surveys have always provided a rich hunting ground for the coolest stars and brown dwarfs. The single epoch surveys at the beginning of this century greatly expanded the…

An algebraic classification of entangled states

Roman V. Buniy, Thomas W. Kephart

We provide a classification of entangled states that uses new discrete entanglement invariants. The invariants are defined by algebraic properties of linear maps associated with th…

Searching for the Layered Structure of Space at the LHC

Luis A. Anchordoqui, De Chang Dai, Haim Goldberg +4

Alignment of the main energy fluxes along a straight line in a target plane has been observed in families of cosmic ray particles detected in the Pamir mountains. The fraction of e…

Ultrafast changes in lattice symmetry probed by coherent phonons

Simon Wall, Daniel Wegkamp, Laura Foglia +4

The electronic and structural properties of a material are strongly determined by its symmetry. Changing the symmetry via a photoinduced phase transition offers new ways to manipul…
