Kavli Affiliate: Claude Canizares | First 5 Authors: Lia Corrales, Lynne Valencic, Elisa Costantini, Javier Garcia, Efrain Gatuzz | Summary: X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) in the 0.2-2 keV band is a crucial component in multi-wavelength studies of dust mineralogy, size, and shape — parameters that are necessary for interpreting astronomical observations and building physical […]
Kavli Affiliate: Rafe Schindler | First 5 Authors: Qian Yang, Yue Shen, Yu-Ching Chen, Xin Liu, James Annis | Summary: We present new Gemini/GMOS optical spectroscopy of 16 extreme variability quasars (EVQs) that dimmed by more than 1.5 mag in the $g$ band between the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the Dark Energy Survey […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eric Peng | First 5 Authors: The MSE Science Team, Carine Babusiaux, Maria Bergemann, Adam Burgasser, Sara Ellison | Summary: (Abridged) The Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer (MSE) is an end-to-end science platform for the design, execution and scientific exploitation of spectroscopic surveys. It will unveil the composition and dynamics of the faint Universe and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jin Suntivich | First 5 Authors: Padtaraporn Chanhom, Kevin E. Fritz, Lee Burton, Jan Kloppenburg, Yaroslav Filinchuk | Summary: Electrides are ionic crystals in which the electrons prefer to occupy free space, serving as anions. Because the electrons prefer to be in the pockets, channels, or layers to the atomic orbitals around the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Hiroaki Aihara | First 5 Authors: Toshiya Namikawa, Yuji Chinone, Hironao Miyatake, Masamune Oguri, Ryuichi Takahashi | Summary: We present the first measurement of cross-correlation between the lensing potential, reconstructed from cosmic microwave background (CMB) {it polarization} data, and the cosmic shear field from galaxy shapes. This measurement is made using data from […]
Kavli Affiliate: Luis Ho | First 5 Authors: Kayhan Gültekin, Aaron Barth, Karl Gebhardt, Jenny Greene, Luis Ho | Summary: Supermassive black holes are located at the center of most, if not all, massive galaxies. They follow close correlations with global properties of their host galaxies (scaling relations), and are thought to play a crucial […]
