Kavli Affiliate: Jin Suntivich | 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 nuclei, it has been challenging to find electrides with partially filled d-shells, since an unoccupied d-shell […]

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Rosner | Summary:We present a scheme by which a probabilistic forecasting system whose predictions have poor probabilistic calibration may be recalibrated by incorporating past performance information to produce a new forecasting system that is demonstrably superior to the original, in that one may use it to consistently win wagers against someone using […]
Kavli Affiliate: Philip H. Scherrer| First 5 Authors: P. H. Scherrer, P. H. Scherrer, , , | Summary:Fossat et al. (2017) recently reported detecting rotational splitting of g modes indirectly via the interaction with p modes observed directly by the GOLF instrument on SOHO. They concluded that the core of the Sun is rotating 3:8 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hiroaki Aihara | 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 the POLARBEAR CMB experiment and the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) survey. By analyzing an 11~deg$^2$ […]
Kavli Affiliate: Rob Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Mansi M. Kasliwal, Scott Adams, Igor Andreoni, Michael Ashley, Nadia Blagorodnova | Summary: Opening up the dynamic infrared sky for systematic time-domain exploration would yield many scientific advances. Multi-messenger pursuits such as localizing gravitational waves from neutron star mergers and quantifying the nucleosynthetic yields require the infrared. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xuebing Wu | Summary:We present optical luminosity functions (LFs) of galaxies in the $^0.1g$, $^0.1r$, and $^0.1i$ bands, calculated using data in $sim 40$ $deg^2$ sky area of LAMOST Complete Spectroscopic Survey of Pointing Area (LaCoSSPAr) in Southern Galactic Cap. Redshifts for galaxies brighter $r = 18.1$ were obtained mainly with LAMOST. In […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nathan Lewis | Summary:The electronic structure of Si(110)"16 x 2" double-domain, single-domain and 1 x 1 surfaces have been investigated using spin- and angle-resolved photoemission at sample temperatures of 77 K and 300 K. Angle-resolved photoemission was conducted using horizontally- and vertically-polarised 60 eV and 80 eV photons. Band-dispersion maps revealed four surface […]
Kavli Affiliate: Rainer Weiss | Summary:Recent gravitational-wave observations from the LIGO and Virgo observatories have brought a sense of great excitement to scientists and citizens the world over. Since September 2015,10 binary black hole coalescences and one binary neutron star coalescence have been observed. They have provided remarkable, revolutionary insight into the "gravitational Universe" and […]
