Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Michael J. Roach, Sarah Beecroft, Kathie Mihindukulasuriya, Leran Wang, Lais Farias Oliveira Lima, Elizabeth A. Dinsdale, Robert Edwards and Scott Allyn Handley | Summary: Analysis of viral diversity using modern nucleic acid sequencing technologies presents several unique challenges. Foremost being that virus detection requires a non-targeted, random (shotgun) approach. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Biao Huang | First 5 Authors: Biao Huang, Tsz-Him Leung, Dan Stamper-Kurn, W. Vincent Liu, | Summary: We analytically identify a new class of quantum scars protected by spatiotemporal translation symmetries, dubbed Floquet-Bloch scars. They distinguish from previous (quasi-)static scars by a rigid spectral pairing only possible in Floquet systems, where strong interaction […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Joshua J. Ziegler, Thomas D. P. Edwards, Anna M. Suliga, Irene Tamborra, Shunsaku Horiuchi | Summary: We explore the assumption, widely used in many astrophysical calculations, that the stellar initial mass function (IMF) is universal across all galaxies. By considering both a canonical Salpeter-like IMF and a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew M. Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Martti H. K. Kristiansen, Saul A. Rappaport, Andrew M. Vanderburg, Thomas L. Jacobs, Hans Martin Schwengeler | Summary: This article presents the history of the Visual Survey Group (VSG) – a Professional-Amateur (Pro-Am) collaboration within the field of astronomy working on data from several space missions […]

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Bethan A. Williams, Daniel L. Walker, Steven N. Longmore, A. T. Barnes, Cara Battersby | Summary: Young massive clusters (YMCs) are compact ($lesssim$1 pc), high-mass (>10${}^4$ M${}_{odot}$) stellar systems of significant scientific interest. Due to their rarity and rapid formation, we have very few examples of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Pau Amaro Seoane | First 5 Authors: Sebastiano von Fellenberg, Stefan Gillessen, Julia Stadler, Michi Bauböck, Reinhard Genzel | Summary: We present a large ${sim 30" times 30"}$ spectroscopic survey of the Galactic Center using the SINFONI IFU at the VLT. Combining observations of the last two decades we compile spectra of over […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Xiang Zhang, Qi Lu, Yalei Zhu, Jing Zhao, Rostyslav Danylo | Summary: Quantum interference occurs frequently in the interaction of laser radiation with materials, leading to a series of fascinating effects such as lasing without inversion, electromagnetically induced transparency, Fano resonance, etc. Such quantum interference effects are […]
