Kavli Affiliate: Joanne R. Bogart | First 5 Authors: LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration, Bela Abolfathi, David Alonso, Robert Armstrong, Éric Aubourg | Summary: We describe the simulated sky survey underlying the second data challenge (DC2) carried out in preparation for analysis of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) […]

Kavli Affiliate: P. G. Steeneken | First 5 Authors: D. Afanasiev, J. R. Hortensius, M. Matthiesen, S. Mañas-Valero, M. Šiškins | Summary: Magnetic van der Waals materials provide an ideal playground for exploring the fundamentals of low-dimensional magnetism and open new opportunities for ultrathin spin processing devices. The Mermin-Wagner theorem dictates that as in reduced […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Kaitlin C. Rasmussen, Joseph Zepeda, Timothy C. Beers, Vinicius M. Placco, Eric Depagne | Summary: We present the first release of a large-scale study of relatively bright (V < 13.5) metal-poor stars observed with the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT), based on high-resolution spectra of 50 stars […]
Kavli Affiliate: R. Morris | First 5 Authors: Jesus M. Salas, Smadar Naoz, Mark R. Morris, , | Summary: The gas dynamics in the inner few kiloparsecs of barred galaxies often results in configurations that give rise to nuclear gas rings. However, the generic dynamical description of the formation of galactic nuclear rings does not […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Simone Giacomelli, Mario Martone, Yuji Tachikawa, Gabi Zafrir, | Summary: We carry out a systematic study of 4d $mathcal{N} = 2$ preserving S-folds of F-theory 7-branes and the worldvolume theories on D3-branes probing them. They consist of two infinite series of theories, which we denote following the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Zhenlong Xu, Ziqi Xu, Jixue Liu, Debo Cheng, Jiuyong Li | Summary: The increasing application of machine learning techniques in everyday decision-making processes has brought concerns about the fairness of algorithmic decision-making. This paper concerns the problem of collider bias which produces spurious associations in fairness assessment […]
Kavli Affiliate: David A. Principe | First 5 Authors: Amit Kashi, David A. Principe, Noam Soker, Joel H. Kastner, | Summary: The massive binary system Eta Carinae is characterized by intense colliding winds that form shocks and emit X-rays. The system is highly eccentric ($esimeq0.9$), resulting in modulated X-ray emission during its 5.54 year orbit. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Camilo González-Ruilova, Lucas A. Cieza, Antonio S. Hales, Sebastián Pérez, Alice Zurlo | Summary: ISO-Oph 2 is a wide-separation (240 au) binary system where the primary star harbors a massive (M$_{dust}$ $sim$40 M$_{oplus}$) ring-like disk with a dust cavity $sim$50 au in radius and the secondary […]
Kavli Affiliate: Giorgio Gratta | First 5 Authors: Giorgio Gratta, David E. Kaplan, Surjeet Rajendran, , | Summary: A new technique to search for new scalar and tensor interactions at the sub-micrometer scale is presented. The technique relies on small shifts of nuclear gamma lines produced by the coupling between matter and the nuclei in […]
