Searching for Magnetar Binaries Disrupted by Core-Collapse Supernovae
Core-collapse Supernovae (CCSNe) are considered to be the primary magnetar formation channel, with 15 magnetars associated with supernova remnants (SNRs). A large fraction of these should occur in massive stellar binaries that are disrupted by the explosion, meaning that $\sim45\%$ of magnetars should be nearby high-velocity stars. Here we conduct a multi-wavelength search for unbound stars, magnetar binaries, and SNR shells using public optical ($uvgrizy-$bands), infrared ($J-$, $H-$, $K-$, an…

Searching for Axial Neutral Current Non-Standard Interactions of neutrinos by DUNE-like experiments
The increasingly precise neutrino experiments raise the hope for searching for new physics through studying the impact of Neutral Current (NC) Non-Standard Interactions (NSI) of neutrinos with matter fields.

The four-point correlation function is the lowest order correlation function for scalar fields that can be used to probe statistical parity invariance in an isotropic universe. There are intriguing claims of detection of parity violation in the 4-point function of BOSS galaxy clustering data.

Universally Robust Quantum Control
We study the robustness of the evolution of a quantum system against small uncontrolled variations in parameters in the Hamiltonian. We show that the fidelity susceptibility, which quantifies the perturbative error to leading order, can be expressed in superoperator form and use this to derive control pulses which are robust to any class of systematic unknown errors. The proposed optimal control protocol is equivalent to searching for a sequence of unitaries that mimics the first-order moments …

Previous efforts use individualist methods, searching for single broadcasts with high signal-to-noise ratio. These would be detected as observables with extreme values. This approach is limited to very bright broadcasts and also is subject to confusion, where a large number of broadcasts blend together to form a noise continuum. The mean value of the total emission …

However, in a code repository, the trigram index evolves across different versions. Upon che…

We study a setting in which at any node $v$, the agent receives a noisy estimate of the distance from $v$ to $g$. We design algorithms for this search task on unknown graphs.

Electroweak Monopole-Antimonopole Pair Production at LHC
One of the urgent issues in high energy physics is the experimental confirmation of the electroweak monopole predicted by the standard model, and currently MoEDAL at LHC is actively searching for the monopole. However, the present LHC cannot produce the monopole if the mass is bigger than 7 TeV, while the monopole mass is expected to be around $M_W/α\simeq 11~\text{TeV}$. In this paper we discuss how LHC could circumbent this energy constraint and produce the monopole even when the mass is big…

We went for a walk with friends and their 4 year old daughter, recently.
On the way, there was a pile of horse poo.
Kid: 😂 look!
Me: oh that's horse 💩! Grab deep into it with both hands. If it's still warm inside, the horse may still be around. We could go and look for it!
Kid: 🤔 Looks to its parents.
Dad: 🤣🤣 ohoh
Mom: 😳 NO! Franz, PLEASE!
We didn't go searching the horse, unfortunately. But we're still friends 😉

Detecting Ultralight Dark Matter Gravitationally with Laser Interferometers in Space
Ultralight dark matter (ULDM) is one of the leading well-motivated dark matter candidates, predicted in many theories beyond the standard model of particle physics and cosmology. There have been increasing interests in searching for ULDM in physical and astronomical experiments, mostly assuming there are additional interactions other than gravity between ULDM and normal matter. Here we demonstrate that even if ULDM has only gravitational interaction, it shall induce gravitational perturbations …

Development and property study of the extremely thin 12 \texorpdfstring{$μm$} C-type straw tubes with 5-mm diameter for a Straw Tracker System of COMET
The COMET experiment focuses on searching for the direct conversion of a muon into an electron with aluminum nuclei, without emitting a neutrino (so called $μ\rightarrow e$ conversion). This conversion violates charged lepton flavor conservation law, a fundamental principle in the Standard Model. The COMET experiment requirement is to achieve the muon-to-electron conversation sensitivity better than $10^{-17}$. The Straw Tracker System (STS) based on straw tubes could provide the necessary spa…

Abstract: In this study, we search for Globular Clusters (GCs) in the inner halo of the Circinus galaxy using a combination of observational data. Our dataset includes observations from the VISTA Variables in the V\'ia L\'actea Extended Survey (VVVX), optical data from Gaia Release 3 (DR3), and observations from the Dark Energy Camera (DECam). These multiple data sources provide a comprehensive basis for our analysis. Our search was concentrated within a 50 kpc radius from the centre, leading to the identification of 93 sources that met our established criteria. To ensure the reliability of our findings, we conducted multiple examinations for sample contamination. These examinations incorporated tests based on Gaia Astrometric Excess Noise (AEN), the Blue Photometer (BP)/Red Photometer (RP) Excess Factor (BRexcess), as well as comparisons with stellar population models.
This analysis confidently classified 41 sources as genuine GCs, as they successfully passed both the 3$\sigma$ Gaia AEN and BRexcess tests. We used the ISHAPE program to determine the structural parameters (half-light radii) of the GC candidates, with a peak effective radius of 4$\pm$ 0.5 pc. The catalogue mainly consists of bright GCs. Relationships between colour, size, and distance were found in the GC candidates, alongside confirmation of bi-modality in colour distributions.

Searching for binary black hole sub-populations in gravitational wave data using binned Gaussian processes
Astrophysically motivated population models for binary black hole observables are often insufficient to capture the imprints of multiple formation channels. This is mainly due to the strongly parametrized nature of such investigations. Using a non-parametric model for the joint population-level distributions of binary black hole component masses and effective inspiral spins, we find hints of multiple subpopulations in the third gravitational wave transient catalog. The higher (more positive) sp…

Searching for a new light gauge boson with axial couplings in muon beam dump experiments
We present a formalism for new $U(1)$ interactions involving weak hypercharge, baryon, and lepton numbers, and a possible axial symmetry generator $F_A$ in the presence of a second Brout-Englert-Higgs doublet. The resulting $U$ boson, after mixing with the $Z$, interpolates between a generalised dark photon, a dark $Z$, and an axially coupled gauge boson. We especially focus on the axial couplings originating from $F_A$ or from mixing with the $Z$, determined by the scalar sector via parameters…

New method for estimating molecular cloud distances based on Gaia, 2MASS, and the TRILEGAL galaxy model
We propose a new method for estimating the distances of molecular clouds traced by CO line emission. Stars from 2MASS and Gaia EDR3 are selected as on-cloud stars when they are projected on a cloud. The background on-cloud stars have redder colors on average than the foreground stars. Instead of searching for stars projected away from the cloud, we employed the TRILEGA galaxy model to mimic the stellar population without cloud extinction along the sightline toward the cloud. Our method does not…

Abstract: Measurements of the microlensing optical depth and event rate toward the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) can be used to probe the distribution and mass function of compact objects in the direction toward that galaxy - in the Milky Way disk, Milky Way dark matter halo, and the LMC itself. The previous measurements, based on small statistical samples of events, found that the optical depth is an order of magnitude smaller than that expected from the entire dark matter halo in the form of compact objects. However, these previous studies were not sensitive to long-duration events with Einstein timescales longer than 2.5-3 years, which are expected from massive ($10-100\,M_{\odot}$) and intermediate-mass ($10^2-10^5\,M_{\odot}$) black holes. Such events would have been missed by the previous studies and would not have been taken into account in calculations of the optical depth. Here, we present the analysis of nearly 20-year-long photometric monitoring of 78.7 million stars in the LMC by the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) from 2001 through 2020. We describe the observing setup, the construction of the 20-year OGLE dataset, the methods used for searching for microlensing events in the light curve data, and the calculation of the event detection efficiency. In total, we find 16 microlensing events (thirteen using an automated pipeline and three with manual searches), all of which have timescales shorter than 1 yr. We use a sample of thirteen events to measure the microlensing optical depth toward the LMC $\tau=(0.121 \pm 0.037)\times 10^{-7}$ and the event rate $\Gamma=(0.74 \pm 0.25)\times 10^{-7}\,\mathrm{yr}^{-1}\,\mathrm{star}^{-1}$. These numbers are consistent with lensing by stars in the Milky Way disk and the LMC itself, and demonstrate that massive and intermediate-mass black holes cannot comprise a significant fraction of dark matter.

Searching for late-time interaction signatures in Type Ia supernovae from the Zwicky Transient Facility
The nature of the progenitor systems and explosion mechanisms that give rise to Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are still debated. The interaction signature of circumstellar material (CSM) being swept up by expanding ejecta can constrain the type of system from which it was ejected. Most previous studies have focused on finding CSM ejected shortly before the SN Ia explosion still residing close to the explosion site, resulting in short delay times until the interaction starts. We use a sample of 36…
