Magellan/IMACS spectroscopy of Grus I: a low metallicity ultra-faint dwarf galaxy

Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Anirudh Chiti, Joshua D. Simon, Anna Frebel, Andrew B. Pace, Alexander P. Ji | Summary: We present a chemodynamical study of the Grus I ultra-faint dwarf galaxy (UFD) from medium-resolution ($Rsim11,000$) Magellan/IMACS spectra of its individual member stars. We identify eight confirmed members of Grus I, based […]

Simple lessons from complex learning: what a neural network model learns about cosmic structure formation

Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Drew Jamieson, Yin Li, Siyu He, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Shirley Ho | Summary: We train a neural network model to predict the full phase space evolution of cosmological N-body simulations. Its success implies that the neural network model is accurately approximating the Green’s function expansion that relates […]

The stellar halo in Local Group Hestia simulations II. The accreted component

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Sergey Khoperskov, Ivan Minchev, Noam Libeskind, Misha Haywood, Paola Di Matteo | Summary: In the Milky Way, recent progress in the exploration of its assembly history is driven by the tremendous amount of high-quality data delivered by Gaia, which has revealed a number of substructures potentially linked […]

The stellar halo in Local Group Hestia simulations I. The in-situ component and the effect of mergers

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Sergey Khoperskov, Ivan Minchev, Noam Libeskind, Misha Haywood, Paola Di Matteo | Summary: Theory suggests that mergers play an important role in shaping galactic disks and stellar haloes, which was observationally confirmed in the MW thanks to the Gaia data. In this work, aiming to probe the […]

Receding Horizon Inverse Reinforcement Learning

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Yiqing Xu, Wei Gao, David Hsu, , | Summary: Inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) seeks to infer a cost function that explains the underlying goals and preferences of expert demonstrations. This paper presents receding horizon inverse reinforcement learning (RHIRL), a new IRL algorithm for high-dimensional, noisy, continuous systems […]

Genomic expression responses in sensu stricto Saccharomyces yeast to DNA damage induced by methyl methanesulfonate

Kavli Affiliate: V. S. Ramachandran | Authors: Vignesh Ramachandran, Gregory Hatlestad and Travis White | Summary: Background: One way single-celled eukaryotes respond to DNA damage stress is by modifying their gene expression, facilitating genomic repair. Gene expression responses to DNA damage induced by methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) have been studied in the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae. […]

Distinct roles of dentate gyrus and medial entorhinal cortex inputs for phase precession and temporal correlations in hippocampal CA3 place cells

Kavli Affiliate: Solomon Snyder | Authors: Robin Roychaudhuri, Hasti Atashi and Solomon Snyder | Summary: The hippocampal CA3 subregion is a densely connected recurrent circuit that supports memory consolidation and retrieval by generating and storing sequential neuronal activity patterns that reflect recent experience. The encoding of precise temporal firing patterns in CA3 ensembles during awake-behavior […]

Serine Racemase mediates Subventricular Zone Neurogenesis via Fatty acid Metabolism.

Kavli Affiliate: Solomon Snyder | Authors: Robin Roychaudhuri, Hasti Atashi and Solomon Snyder | Summary: The adult subventricular zone is one of the two neurogenic niches that continuously produce newborn neurons. Here we show that serine racemase (SR), an enzyme that catalyzes the racemization of L-serine to D-serine and vice versa, affects neurogenesis in the […]
