The TESS-Keck Survey. VIII. Confirmation of a Transiting Giant Planet on an Eccentric 261 day Orbit with the Automated Planet Finder Telescope

Kavli Affiliate: George R. Ricker | First 5 Authors: Paul A. Dalba, Stephen R. Kane, Diana Dragomir, Steven Villanueva Jr., Karen A. Collins | Summary: We report the discovery of TOI-2180 b, a 2.8 $M_{rm J}$ giant planet orbiting a slightly evolved G5 host star. This planet transited only once in Cycle 2 of the […]

Breaking baryon-cosmology degeneracy with the electron density power spectrum

Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Andrina Nicola, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, David N. Spergel, Jo Dunkley, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar | Summary: Uncertain feedback processes in galaxies affect the distribution of matter, currently limiting the power of weak lensing surveys. If we can identify cosmological statistics that are robust against these uncertainties, or constrain these […]

TESS Giants Transiting Giants II: The hottest Jupiters orbiting evolved stars

Kavli Affiliate: Alan M. Levine | First 5 Authors: Samuel K. Grunblatt, Nicholas Saunders, Meng Sun, Ashley Chontos, Melinda Soares-Furtado | Summary: Giant planets on short-period orbits are predicted to be inflated and eventually engulfed by their host stars. However, the detailed timescales and stages of these processes are not well known. Here we present […]

Reconstructing the polar interface of infinite-layer nickelate thin films

Kavli Affiliate: Lena F. Kourkoutis | First 5 Authors: Berit H. Goodge, Benjamin Geisler, Kyuho Lee, Motoki Osada, Bai Yang Wang | Summary: Nickel-based superconductors provide a long-awaited experimental platform to explore possible cuprate-like superconductivity. Despite similar crystal structure and $d$ electron filling, these systems exhibit several differences. Nickelates are the most polar layered oxide […]

A pair of Sub-Neptunes transiting the bright K-dwarf TOI-1064 characterised with CHEOPS

Kavli Affiliate: George R. Ricker | First 5 Authors: Thomas G. Wilson, Elisa Goffo, Yann Alibert, Davide Gandolfi, Andrea Bonfanti | Summary: We report the discovery and characterisation of a pair of sub-Neptunes transiting the bright K-dwarf TOI-1064 (TIC 79748331), initially detected in TESS photometry. To characterise the system, we performed and retrieved CHEOPS, TESS, […]

Many-body Hilbert space scarring on a superconducting processor

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Pengfei Zhang, Hang Dong, Yu Gao, Liangtian Zhao, Jie Hao | Summary: Quantum many-body scarring (QMBS) — a recently discovered form of weak ergodicity breaking in strongly-interacting quantum systems — presents opportunities for mitigating thermalization-induced decoherence in quantum information processsing. However, the existing experimental realizations of QMBS […]

Probing quantum many-body scars on a superconducting processor

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Pengfei Zhang, Hang Dong, Yu Gao, Liangtian Zhao, Jie Hao | Summary: Thermalization in complex and strongly interacting quantum many-body systems represents an obstacle to applications. It was recently suggested theoretically that quantum many-body scarring (QMBS) states embedded in the thermalized energy spectrum can overcome this difficulty. […]

Preserving Domain Private Representation via Mutual Information Maximization

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jiahong Chen, Jing Wang, Weipeng Lin, Kuangen Zhang, Clarence W. de Silva | Summary: Recent advances in unsupervised domain adaptation have shown that mitigating the domain divergence by extracting the domain-invariant representation could significantly improve the generalization of a model to an unlabeled data domain. Nevertheless, the […]

Laminar Mechanisms of Saccadic Suppression in Primate Visual Cortex

Kavli Affiliate: John Reynolds | Authors: Sachira Denagamage, Mitchell P. Morton, John H. Reynolds, Monika P. Jadi and Anirvan S. Nandy | Summary: Saccades are a ubiquitous and crucial component of our visual system, allowing for the efficient deployment of the fovea and its accompanying neural resources. Initiation of a saccade is known to cause […]

Cosmogenic production of $^37$Ar in the context of the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment

Kavli Affiliate: T. A. Shutt | Summary:We estimate the amount of $^37$Ar produced in natural xenon via cosmic ray-induced spallation, an inevitable consequence of the transportation and storage of xenon on the Earth’s surface. We then calculate the resulting $^37$Ar concentration in a 10-tonne payload~(similar to that of the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment) assuming a representative schedule […]
