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 (H I) emission are well-aligned with the interstellar magnetic field, so H I emission morphology can be used to construct templates that strongly correlate with measurements of polarized […]

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 […]

The MAGPI Survey: Impact of environment on the total internal mass distribution of galaxies in the last 5 Gyr

Kavli Affiliate: Yingjie Peng | First 5 Authors: Caro Derkenne, Richard M. McDermid, Adriano Poci, J. Trevor Mendel, Francesco D’Eugenio | Summary: We investigate the impact of environment on the internal mass distribution of galaxies using the Middle Ages Galaxy Properties with Integral field spectroscopy (MAGPI) survey. We use 2D resolved stellar kinematics to construct […]

Spatially clustered neurons encode vocalization categories in the bat midbrain

Kavli Affiliate: Kishore V. Kuchibhotla, Cynthia F. Moss | Authors: Jennifer Lawlor, Melville Wohlgemuth, Cynthia F Moss and Kishore V Kuchibhotla | Summary: Rapid categorization of vocalizations enables adaptive behavior across species. While categorical perception is thought to arise in the neocortex, humans and other animals could benefit from functional organization of ethologically-relevant sounds at […]

Stellar clustering and the kinematics of stars around Collinder 121 using Gaia DR3

Kavli Affiliate: Graham Fleming | Summary:We study the region around Collinder 121 (Cr 121) using newly available 6-dimensional data from the Gaia DR3 catalogue. Situated in the third quadrant, near the galactic plane, Collinder 121 lies in the region of Canis Major centred around l = 236 degrees, b = -10 degrees. Previous studies have […]
