The Supersonic Project: Star Formation in Early Star Clusters without Dark Matter

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: William Lake, Smadar Naoz, Federico Marinacci, Blakesley Burkhart, Mark Vogelsberger | Summary: The formation mechanism of globular clusters (GCs) has long been debated by astronomers. It was recently proposed that Supersonically Induced Gas Objects (SIGOs), which formed in the early Universe due to the supersonic relative motion […]

JWST-JADES. Possible Population III signatures at z=10.6 in the halo of GN-z11

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Roberto Maiolino, Hannah Uebler, Michele Perna, Jan Scholtz, Francesco D’Eugenio | Summary: Finding the first generation of stars formed out of pristine gas in the early Universe, known as Population III (PopIII) stars, is one of the most important goals of modern astrophysics. Recent models have suggested […]

Cross-Modal Representation of Identity in Primate Hippocampus

Kavli Affiliate: Cory Miller | Authors: Timothy Tyree, Michael Metke and Cory Miller | Summary: Faces and voices are the dominant social signals used to recognize individuals amongst human and nonhuman primates (1–4). Yet it is not known how these critical signals are integrated into a cross-modal representation of individual identity in the primate brain. […]

Precise measurement of the $D^+_s$ lifetime at Belle II

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, I. Adachi, L. Aggarwal, H. Aihara, N. Akopov | Summary: We measure the lifetime of the $D_s^+$ meson using a data sample of 207 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the Belle II experiment running at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+ e^-$ collider. The lifetime is determined by […]

Ambarzumyan-type theorem for the Sturm-Liouville operator on the lasso graph

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Feng Wang, Chuan-Fu Yang | Summary: We consider the Sturm-Liouville operator on the lasso graph with a segment and a loop joined at one point, which has arbitrary length. The Ambarzumyan’s theorem for the operator is proved, which says that if the eigenvalues of the operator coincide […]
