Kavli Affiliate: Aniruddha Das | Authors: Aniruddha Das, Debojyoti Das, Arundhati Das and Amaresh Chandra Panda | Summary: Current RNA purification methods widely use silica-based columns that allow quick isolation of high-quality and good quantities of RNA. However, the major limitations include high cost, the requirement of different kits for small RNA isolation, genomic DNA […]
Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Justin M. Wittrock, Peter Plavchan, Bryson L. Cale, Thomas Barclay, Mathis R. Ludwig | Summary: AU Mic is a young (22 Myr) nearby exoplanetary system that exhibits excess TTVs that cannot be accounted for by the two known transiting planets nor stellar activity. We present the statistical […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Sean Heston, Emily Kehoe, Yudai Suwa, Shunsaku Horiuchi, | Summary: Neutrinos allow the probing of stellar interiors during core collapse, helping to understand the different stages and processes in the collapse. To date, supernova neutrinos have only been detected from a single event, SN1987A. Most studies from […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Geoffrey Mo, Rahul Jayaraman, Michael Fausnaugh, Erik Katsavounidis, George R. Ricker | Summary: In 2017, the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave (GW) detectors, in conjunction with electromagnetic (EM) astronomers, observed the first GW multi-messenger astrophysical event, the binary neutron star (BNS) merger GW170817. This marked the beginning […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Madeline A. Marshall, Michele Perna, Chris J. Willott, Roberto Maiolino, Jan Scholtz | Summary: Integral Field Spectroscopy (IFS) with JWST NIRSpec will significantly improve our understanding of the first quasars, by providing spatially resolved, infrared spectroscopic capabilities which cover key rest-frame optical emission lines that have been […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexey Bondal | First 5 Authors: Agnieszka Bodzenta, Alexey Bondal, , , | Summary: We define a normal surface $X$ to be codim-2-saturated if any open embedding of $X$ into a normal surface with the complement of codimension 2 is an isomorphism. We show that any normal surface $X$ allows a codim-2-saturated model […]
