Kavli Affiliate: Costa, Rui | Authors: Paul Botros, Nuria Vendrell-Llopis, Rui Costa and Jose Carmena | Summary: Abstract Throughout learning, refinement of cortical activity in cortex, a process termed “credit assignment”, underlies the refinement of behavioral actions leading to reward. While previous research shows striatum’s role in linking behavior to reward, striatum’s role in linking […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Kate Storey-Fisher, Jeremy Tinker, Zhongxu Zhai, Joseph DeRose, Risa H. Wechsler | Summary: There is untapped cosmological information in galaxy redshift surveys in the non-linear regime. In this work, we use the AEMULUS suite of cosmological $N$-body simulations to construct Gaussian process emulators of galaxy clustering […]
Kavli Affiliate: Norbert S. Schulz | First 5 Authors: Herman L. Marshall, Mason Ng, Daniele Rogantini, Jeremy Heyl, Sergey S. Tsygankov | Summary: We present measurements of the polarization of X-rays in the 2-8 keV band from the pulsar in the ultracompact low mass X-ray binary 4U1626-67 using data from the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer […]
Kavli Affiliate: John Silverman | First 5 Authors: Mengyuan Xiao, David Elbaz, Carlos Gómez-Guijarro, Lucas Leroy, Longji Bing | Summary: Our current understanding of the cosmic star formation history at z>3 is primarily based on UV-selected galaxies (i.e., LBGs). Recent studies of H-dropouts have revealed that we may be missing a large proportion of star […]

Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Zeyuan Xuan, Smadar Naoz, Xian Chen, , | Summary: Many gravitational wave (GW) sources in the LISA band are expected to have non-negligible eccentricity. Furthermore, many of them can undergo acceleration because they reside in the presence of a tertiary. Here we develop analytical and numerical methods […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Patrick J. Fox, Graham D. Kribs, Hitoshi Murayama, Amin Aboubrahim, Prateek Agrawal | Summary: We summarize the state of Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) model building in particle physics for Snowmass 2021, focusing mainly on several whitepaper contributions to BSM model building (TF08) and closely related areas. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Fu-Guo Xie, Ramesh Narayan, Feng Yuan, , | Summary: An important parameter in the theory of hot accretion flows around black holes is $delta$, which describes the fraction of “viscously” dissipated energy in the accretion flow that directly heats the electrons. The radiative efficiency of a hot […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Harshitha Machiraju, Oh-Hyeon Choung, Michael Herzog, Pascal Frossard | Summary: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved superhuman performance in multiple vision tasks, especially image classification. However, unlike humans, CNNs leverage spurious features, such as background information to make decisions. This tendency creates different problems in […]
