Kavli Affiliate: Francis J. Doyle | First 5 Authors: Dinesh Krishnamoorthy, Francis J. Doyle III, , , | Summary: This paper considers the problem of Bayesian optimization for systems with safety-critical constraints, where both the objective function and the constraints are unknown, but can be observed by querying the system. In safety-critical applications, querying the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Kevin B. Burdge, Thomas R. Marsh, Jim Fuller, Eric C. Bellm, Ilaria Caiazzo | Summary: Over a dozen millisecond pulsars are ablating low-mass companions in close binary systems. In the original "black widow", the 8-hour orbital period eclipsing pulsar PSR J1959+2048 (PSR B1957+20), high energy emission originating […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Jessica Y. -C. Yeh, Aaron Smith, Rahul Kannan, Enrico Garaldi, Mark Vogelsberger | Summary: A fundamental requirement for reionizing the Universe is that a sufficient fraction of the ionizing photons emitted by galaxies successfully escapes into the intergalactic medium. However, due to the scarcity of high-redshift observational […]
Kavli Affiliate: Itai Cohen | First 5 Authors: Meera Ramaswamy, Itay Griniasty, James P Sethna, Bulbul Chakraborty, Itai Cohen | Summary: Recently, we proposed a universal scaling framework that shows shear thickening in dense suspensions is governed by the crossover between two critical points: one associated with frictionless isotropic jamming and a second corresponding to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Shadlen | Authors: Gabriel M Stine, Eric M Trautmann, Danique Jeurissen and Michael N Shadlen | Summary: The brain makes decisions by accumulating evidence until there is enough to stop and choose. Neural mechanisms of evidence accumulation are well established in association cortex, but the site and mechanism of termination is unknown. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Yacheng Kang, Chang Liu, Lijing Shao, , | Summary: We investigate the prospects of electromagnetic follow-up observations for binary neutron star (BNS) mergers, with the help of early warnings from decihertz gravitational-wave (GW) observatories, B-DECIGO and DO-Optimal. Extending the previous work, we not only give quick assessments […]

Extending our previous work in Liu et al. (2022), we not […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gabor Furesz | First 5 Authors: Petr Kabáth, Priyanka Chaturvedi, Phillip J. MacQueen, Marek Skarka, Ján Šubjak | Summary: We present the confirmation and characterization of three hot Jupiters, TOI-1181b, TOI-1516b, and TOI-2046b, discovered by the TESS space mission. The reported hot Jupiters have orbital periods between 1.4 and 2.05 days. The masses […]

Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Anirudh Chiti, Anna Frebel, Alexander P. Ji, Mohammad K. Mardini, Xiaowei Ou | Summary: We present chemical abundances and velocities of five stars between 0.3 kpc to 1.1 kpc from the center of the Tucana II ultra-faint dwarf galaxy (UFD) from high-resolution Magellan/MIKE spectroscopy. We find that […]
