Finding Quasars behind the Galactic Plane. II. Spectroscopic Identifications of 204 Quasars at $|b|< 20°$

Kavli Affiliate: Linhua Jiang | First 5 Authors: Yuming Fu, Xue-Bing Wu, Linhua Jiang, Yanxia Zhang, Zhi-Ying Huo | Summary: Quasars behind the Galactic plane (GPQs) are important astrometric references and valuable probes of the Galactic gas, yet the search of GPQs is difficult due to severe extinction and source crowding in the Galactic plane. […]

Modeling the inner part of M87 jet: confronting jet morphology with theory

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Hai Yang, Feng Yuan, Hui Li, Yosuke Mizuno, Fan Guo | Summary: The formation of jets in black hole accretion systems is a long-standing problem. It has been proposed that a jet can be formed by extracting the rotation energy of the black hole ("BZ-jet") or […]

An Internal Model of Sensorimotor Context in Freely Swimming Electric Fish

Kavli Affiliate: Nathaniel Sawtell | Authors: Avner Wallach and Nathaniel B Sawtell | Summary: Nervous systems are hypothesized to learn and store internal models that predict the sensory consequences of motor actions. However, little is known about the neural mechanisms for generating accurate predictions under real-world conditions in which the sensory consequences of action depend […]

The stellar halo in Local Group Hestia simulations III. Chemical abundance relations for accreted and in-situ stars

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Sergey Khoperskov, Ivan Minchev, Noam Libeskind, Vasily Belokurov, Matthias Steinmetz | Summary: Since the chemical abundances of stars are the fossil records of the physical conditions in galaxies, they provide the key information for recovering the assembly history of galaxies. In this work, we explore the chemo-chrono-kinematics […]

Motor cortical influence relies on task-specific activity covariation

Kavli Affiliate: Costa, Rui | Authors: Claire L Warriner, Samaher Fageiry, Shreya Saxena, Rui M Costa and Andrew Miri | Summary: During limb movement, spinal circuits facilitate the alternating activation of antagonistic flexor and extensor muscles. Yet antagonist cocontraction is often required to stabilize joints, like when loads are handled. Previous results suggest that these […]

Global Reduction in Ship-tracks from Sulfur Regulations for Shipping Fuel

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Wood | First 5 Authors: Tianle Yuan, Hua Song, Robert Wood, Chenxi Wang, Lazaros Oreopoulos | Summary: Ship-tracks are produced by ship-emitted aerosols interacting with marine low clouds. Here we apply deep learning models on satellite data to produce the first multi-year global climatology map of ship-tracks. We show that ship-tracks are […]
