No thick carbon dioxide atmosphere on the rocky exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 c

Kavli Affiliate: Laura Schaefer | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: Seven rocky planets orbit the nearby dwarf star TRAPPIST-1, providing a unique opportunity to search for atmospheres on small planets outside the Solar System (Gillon et al., 2017). Thanks to the recent launch of JWST, possible atmospheric constituents such as carbon […]

Outshining by Recent Star Formation Prevents the Accurate Measurement of High-z Galaxy Stellar Masses

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Desika Narayanan, Sidney Lower, Paul Torrey, Gabriel Brammer, Weiguang Cui | Summary: In this paper, we demonstrate that the inference of galaxy stellar masses via spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting techniques for galaxies formed in the first billion years after the Big Bang carries fundamental uncertainties owing […]

Filamentary Dust Polarization and the Morphology of Neutral Hydrogen Structures

Kavli Affiliate: Susan E. Clark | First 5 Authors: George Halal, Susan E. Clark, Ari Cukierman, Dominic Beck, Chao-Lin Kuo | Summary: Filamentary structures in neutral hydrogen (HI) emission are well aligned with the interstellar magnetic field, so HI emission morphology can be used to construct templates that strongly correlate with measurements of polarized thermal […]

LRRK2 Suppresses Lysosome Degradative Activity in Macrophages and Microglia Through MiT-TFE Transcription Factor Inhibition

Kavli Affiliate: Shawn Ferguson | Authors: Narayana Yadavalli and Shawn M. Ferguson | Summary: Cells maintain optimal levels of lysosome degradative activity to protect against pathogens, clear waste and generate nutrients. Here we show that LRRK2, a protein that is tightly linked to Parkinson’s disease, negatively regulates lysosome degradative activity in macrophages and microglia via […]

TOI-908: a planet at the edge of the Neptune desert transiting a G-type star

Kavli Affiliate: Alan M. Levine | First 5 Authors: Faith Hawthorn, Daniel Bayliss, David J. Armstrong, Jorge Fernández Fernández, Ares Osborn | Summary: We present the discovery of an exoplanet transiting TOI-908 (TIC-350153977) using data from TESS sectors 1, 12, 13, 27, 28 and 39. TOI-908 is a T = 10.7 mag G-dwarf ($T_{eff}$ = […]

The Intrinsic Alignment of Galaxy Clusters and Impact of Projection Effects

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Takada | First 5 Authors: Jingjing Shi, Tomomi Sunayama, Toshiki Kurita, Masahiro Takada, Sunao Sugiyama | Summary: Galaxy clusters, being the most massive objects in the Universe, exhibit the strongest alignment with the large-scale structure. However, mis-identification of members due to projection effects from the large scale structure can occur. We studied […]
