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

Kavli Affiliate: Laura Schaefer | 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 dioxide (CO2) are now detectable (Morley et al., 2017, […]

Filamentary Dust Polarization and the Morphology of Neutral Hydrogen Structures

Kavli Affiliate: 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 dust emission. We explore how the quantification of filament morphology affects this correlation. We introduce a new […]

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 Levine | 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 ($T_eff$ = 5626 $pm$ 61 K) solar-like star with a mass of 0.950 $pm$ 0.010 $M_odot$ and a radius of […]
