Kavli Affiliate: Emil J. Martinec | First 5 Authors: Iosif Bena, Emil J. Martinec, Samir D. Mathur, Nicholas P. Warner, | Summary: The black-hole information paradox provides a stringent test of would-be theories of quantum gravity. String theory has made significant progress toward a resolution of this paradox, and has led to the fuzzball and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Vasily Belokurov, Andrey Kravtsov, , , | Summary: We use accurate estimates of aluminium abundance provided as part of the APOGEE Data Release 17 and Gaia Early Data Release 3 astrometry to select a highly pure sample of stars with metallicity $-1.5lesssim {rm [Fe/H]}lesssim 0.5$ born in-situ […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Ricker | First 5 Authors: Rahul Jayaraman, Gerald Handler, Saul Rappaport, Jim Fuller, Donald W. Kurtz | Summary: Tidally tilted pulsators (TTPs) are an intriguing new class of oscillating stars in binary systems; in such stars, the pulsation axis coincides with the line of apsides, or semi-major axis, of the binary. All […]
Kavli Affiliate: Emil J. Martinec | First 5 Authors: Emil J. Martinec, , , , | Summary: Recent developments in holography have suggested a potential resolution to the black hole information paradox within the context of gravitational effective field theory. We emphasize the non-local nature of this proposed resolution, and highlight the ways in which […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kristofer Bouchard | Authors: Jesse A Livezey, Pratik Singh Sachdeva, Maximilian E Dougherty, Mathew T Summers and Kristofer E Bouchard | Summary: The brain represents the world through the activity of neural populations. Correlated variability across simultaneously recorded neurons (noise correlations) has been observed across cortical areas and experimental paradigms. Many studies have […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | First 5 Authors: Maja Lujan Niemeyer, Eiichiro Komatsu, Chris Byrohl, Dustin Davis, Maximilian Fabricius | Summary: We present the median-stacked Lyman-$alpha$ surface brightness profile of 968 spectroscopically selected Lyman-$alpha$ emitting galaxies (LAEs) at redshifts $1.9<z<3.5$ in the early data of the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX). The selected LAEs […]
Kavli Affiliate: George R. Ricker | First 5 Authors: Quang H. Tran, Brendan P. Bowler, Michael Endl, William D. Cochran, Phillip J. MacQueen | Summary: We report the discovery of two transiting planets around the bright ($V=9.9$ mag) main sequence F7 star TOI-1670 by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite. TOI-1670 b is a sub-Neptune ($R_mathrm{b} […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Suhail Dhawan, Ariel Goobar, Joel Johansson, In Sung Jang, Mickael Rigault | Summary: The current Cepheid-calibrated distance ladder measurement of $H_0$ is reported to be in tension with the values inferred from the cosmic microwave background (CMB), assuming standard cosmology. However, some tip of the red […]

Kavli Affiliate: Pietro DeCamilli | Authors: Shujun Cai, Yumei Wu, Andres Guillen-Samander, William F Hancock-Cerutti, Jun Liu and Pietro De Camilli | Summary: VPS13 is a eukaryotic lipid transport protein localized at membrane contact sites. Previous studies suggested that it may transfer lipids between adjacent bilayers by a bridge-like mechanism. Direct evidence for this hypothesis […]
