Emergent Symmetry-Protected Topological Phases via Polyakov Confinement in Quantum Spin Systems
Li-Wei He, Shun-Li Yu, Jian-Xin Li
A main theme in modern condensed matter physics is the emergence of fractionalized excitations and gauge structures from quantum spin systems. However, understanding how these exot…
A Century of Radial Velocity and Astrometric Monitoring of 70 Oph AB: New PFS Data and Constraints on Planetary Companions
Yiting Li, Michael R. Meyer, Skylar D'Angiolillo +29
At a distance of 5.1 pc, the 70 Oph AB binary star system is one of the most favorable targets for future direct imaging and astrometry missions surveying mature, terrestrial plane…
A Roman Coronagraph Spectroscopic Mode Demonstration
Thayne Currie, Brianna Lacy, Yiting Li +5
We propose 730 nm high-contrast spectroscopic observations of selected self-luminous directly-imaged planets as a key test of the Roman Coronagraph's planet characterization capabi…
The HIP 54515 b Superjovian Planet as an Early, Critical Look at the Roman Coronagraph's Performance in the Faint Target Star, Small IWA Limit
Thayne Currie, Yiting Li, Brianna Lacy +4
The Roman Coronagraph's capabilities in the faint star, small IWA limit has enormous scientific (programmatic) impacts. Testing its performance in this limit provides a first look…
SCExAO/CHARIS and Gaia Direct Imaging and Astrometric Discovery of a Superjovian Planet 3--4 lambda/D from the Accelerating Star HIP 54515
Thayne Currie, Yiting Li, Mona El Morsy +28
We present the discovery of a superjovian planet around the young A5 star HIP 54515, detected using precision astrometry from the Hipparcos Gaia Catalogue of Accelerations and high…
OASIS Survey Direct Imaging and Astrometric Discovery of HIP 71618 B: A Substellar Companion Suitable for the Roman Coronagraph Technology Demonstration
Mona El Morsy, Thayne Currie, Brianna Lacy +27
We present the OASIS survey program discovery of a substellar companion orbiting the young A1V star HIP 71618, detected using precision astrometry from Gaia and Hipparcos and high-…
