Targeted cortical stimulation reveals principles of cortical contextual interactions

Kavli Affiliate: Kenneth Miller | Authors: Shen Wang, Agostina Palmigiano, Kenneth D Miller and Stephen David Van Hooser | Summary: Cross-orientation suppression is a classic form of contextual normalization in visual cortex, yet the degree to which cortical circuits participate in the normalization computation is unclear. We visualized orientation maps of individual ferrets, and provided […]

The complex dynamical past and future of double eclipsing binary CzeV343: misaligned orbits and period resonance

Kavli Affiliate: Michael M. Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Ondřej Pejcha, Pavel Cagaš, Camille Landri, Michael M. Fausnaugh, Gisella De Rosa | Summary: CzeV343 (=V849 Aur) was previously identified as a candidate double eclipsing binary (2+2 quadruple), where the orbital periods of the two eclipsing binaries ($P_A approx 1.2$ days and $P_B approx 0.8$ days) […]

X-ray Halos around Massive Galaxies: Data and Theory

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Akos Bogdan, Mark Vogelsberger, , , | Summary: The presence of gaseous X-ray halos around massive galaxies is a basic prediction of all past and modern structure formation simulations. The importance of these X-ray halos is further emphasized by the fact that they retain signatures of the […]

Bridging quantum many-body scar and quantum integrability in Ising chains with transverse and longitudinal fields

Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Cheng Peng, Xiaoling Cui, , , | Summary: Quantum many-body scar (QMBS) and quantum integrability(QI) have been recognized as two distinct mechanisms for the breakdown of eigenstate thermalization hypothesis(ETH) in an isolated system. In this work, we reveal a smooth route to connect these two ETH-breaking mechanisms […]

Chandra, HST/STIS, NICER, Swift, and TESS Detail the Flare Evolution of the Repeating Nuclear Transient ASASSN-14ko

Kavli Affiliate: Michael M. Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Anna V. Payne, Katie Auchettl, Benjamin J. Shappee, Christopher S. Kochanek, Patricia T. Boyd | Summary: ASASSN-14ko is a nuclear transient at the center of the AGN ESO 253-G003 that undergoes periodic flares. Optical flares were first observed in 2014 by the All-Sky Automated Survey for […]

Probable Dormant Neutron Star in a Short-Period Binary System

Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Tsevi Mazeh, Simchon Faigler, Dolev Bashi, Sahar Shahaf, Niv Davidson | Summary: We have identified 2XMM J125556.57+565846.4, at a distance of 600 pc, as a binary system consisting of a normal star and a probable dormant neutron star. Optical spectra exhibit a slightly evolved F-type single star, […]
