Stellar physics at sub-nanoradian angular resolution

P. Batista, J. Biteau, C. Carlile +36

Many stars -- if they could be imaged with enough angular resolution -- would exhibit features expected from theory but not possible to extract from spectra. We may group these by…

Detecting the QCD axion via the ferroaxionic force with piezoelectric materials

Asimina Arvanitaki, Jonathan Engel, Andrew A. Geraci +3

We show that piezoelectric materials can be used to source virtual QCD axions, generating a new axion-mediated force. Spontaneous parity violation within the piezoelectric crystal…

The Power of Halometry

Siddharth Mishra-Sharma, Ken Van Tilburg, Neal Weiner

Astrometric weak gravitational lensing is a powerful probe of the distribution of matter on sub-Galactic scales, which harbor important information about the fundamental nature of…

The Large-Misalignment Mechanism for the Formation of Compact Axion Structures: Signatures from the QCD Axion to Fuzzy Dark Matter

Asimina Arvanitaki, Savas Dimopoulos, Marios Galanis +3

Axions are some of the best motivated particles beyond the Standard Model. We show how the attractive self-interactions of dark matter (DM) axions over a broad range of masses, fro…

Search for ultralight scalar dark matter with atomic spectroscopy

Ken Van Tilburg, Nathan Leefer, Lykourgos Bougas +1

We report new limits on ultralight scalar dark matter (DM) with dilaton-like couplings to photons that can induce oscillations in the fine-structure constant alpha. Atomic dysprosi…
