Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Lasenby | First 5 Authors: Michael Hobson, Anthony Lasenby, , , | Summary: We reconsider the widely held view that the Mannheim–Kazanas (MK) vacuum solution for a static, spherically-symmetric system in conformal gravity (CG) predicts flat rotation curves, such as those observed in galaxies, without the need for dark matter. This prediction […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrey V. Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Vadim A. Semenov, Andrey V. Kravtsov, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, , | Summary: The spatial decorrelation of dense molecular gas and young stars observed on $lesssim 1$ kiloparsec scales in nearby galaxies indicates rapid dispersal of star-forming regions by stellar feedback. We explore the sensitivity of this […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Gladders | First 5 Authors: Brian Hayden, David Rubin, Kyle Boone, Greg Aldering, Jakob Nordin | Summary: The See Change survey was designed to make $z>1$ cosmological measurements by efficiently discovering high-redshift Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and improving cluster mass measurements through weak lensing. This survey observed twelve galaxy clusters with […]

Kavli Affiliate: Liedewij Laan | First 5 Authors: Christine Linne, Daniele Visco, Stefano Angioletti-Uberti, Liedewij Laan, Daniela J. Kraft | Summary: Reliably distinguishing between cells based on minute differences in receptor density is crucial for cell-cell or virus-cell recognition, the initiation of signal transduction and selective targeting in directed drug delivery. Such sharp differentiation between […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roland K. Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Teruyuki Hirano, John H. Livingston, Akihiko Fukui, Norio Narita, Hiroki Harakawa | Summary: We present observations of two bright M dwarfs (TOI-1634 and TOI-1685: $J=9.5-9.6$) hosting ultra-short period (USP) planets, identified by the TESS mission. The two stars are similar in temperature, mass, and radius ($T_mathrm{eff},approx,3500$ […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Kohei Inayoshi, Kazumi Kashiyama, Eli Visbal, Zoltan Haiman, | Summary: The successive discoveries of binary merger events by Advanced LIGO-Virgo have been revealing the statistical properties of binary black hole (BBH) populations. A stochastic gravitational wave background (GWB) is a useful tool to probe the cosmological evolution […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nicole A. Benedek | First 5 Authors: Ethan T. Ritz, Nicole A. Benedek, , , | Summary: The thermal properties of materials are critically important to various technologies and are increasingly the target of materials design efforts. However, it is only relatively recent advances in first-principles computational techniques that have enabled researchers to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Christopher J. Burke | First 5 Authors: Natalia M. Guerrero, S. Seager, Chelsea X. Huang, Andrew Vanderburg, Aylin Garcia Soto | Summary: We present 2,241 exoplanet candidates identified with data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) during its two-year prime mission. We list these candidates in the TESS Objects of Interest (TOI) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Yuji Tachikawa, , , , | Summary: Spacetime theories obtained from perturbative string theory constructions are automatically free of perturbative anomalies, but it is not settled whether they are always free of global anomalies. Here we discuss a possible $mathbb{Z}_{24}$-valued pure gravitational anomaly of heterotic compactifications down […]
