A New Method for Finding Nearby White Dwarf Exoplanets and Detecting Biosignatures

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Mary Anne Limbach, Andrew Vanderburg, Kevin B. Stevenson, Simon Blouin, Caroline Morley | Summary: We demonstrate that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) can detect infrared (IR) excess from the blended light spectral energy distribution of spatially unresolved terrestrial exoplanets orbiting nearby white dwarfs. We find that […]

Ultrastructure of synaptic connectivity within sub-regions of the SCN revealed by genetically encoded EM tag and SBEM

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Ellisman | Authors: Hugo Calligaro, Azarin Shoghi, Xinyue Chen, Keun-Young Kim, Yu Hsin Liu, Brian Khov, Benjamin Finander, Hiep Le, Mark H Ellisman and Satchidananda Panda | Summary: Abstract The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the hypothalamus of the vertebrate brain is the central pacemaker regulating circadian rhythmicity throughout the body. The SCN […]

Neuronal activity-related transcription is blunted in immature compared to mature dentate granule cells

Kavli Affiliate: Fred Gage | Authors: Sarah L Parylak, Fan Qiu, Sara B Linker, Iryna S Gallina, Christina K Lim, David Preciado, Aidan H McDonald and Fred H Gage | Summary: Abstract Immature dentate granule cells (DGCs) generated in the hippocampus during adulthood are believed to play a unique role in dentate gyrus function. Although […]

Curvature and dynamical spacetimes: can we peer into the quantum regime?

Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Sperhake | Summary:Stationary compact astrophysical objects such as black holes and neutron stars behave as classical systems from the gravitational point of view. Their (observable) curvature is everywhere "small". Here we investigate whether mergers of such objects, or other strongly dynamical spacetimes such as collapsing configurations, may probe the strong-curvature regime of […]
