Kavli Affiliate: Michael Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Jake A. Miller, Edward M. Cackett, Michael R. Goad, Keith Horne, Aaron J. Barth | Summary: Continuum reverberation mapping probes the sizescale of the optical continuum-emitting region in active galactic nuclei (AGN). Through 3 years of multiwavelength photometric monitoring in the optical with robotic observatories, we perform […]
Kavli Affiliate: Emil J. Martinec | First 5 Authors: Emil J. Martinec, , , , | Summary: Conical defects of the form $(AdS_3times S^3)/Z_k$ have an exact orbifold description in worldsheet string theory, which we derive from their known presentation as gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten models. The configuration of strings and fivebranes sourcing this geometry is well-understood, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Masahito Yamazaki | First 5 Authors: Atsushi Ueda, Masahito Yamazaki, , , | Summary: Through coarse-graining, tensor network representations of a two-dimensional critical lattice model flow to a universal four-leg tensor, corresponding to a conformal field theory (CFT) fixed-point. We computed explicit elements of the critical fixed-point tensor, which we identify as the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark J. Bowick | First 5 Authors: Roberto Abril Valenzuela, Paul Z. Hanakata, Mark J. Bowick, , | Summary: We study the finite-temperature dynamics of thin elastic sheets in a single-clamped cantilever configuration. This system is known to exhibit a tilt transition at which the preferred mean plane of the sheet shifts from […]
Kavli Affiliate: Reza Shadmehr | Authors: Alkis M. Hadjiosif, Kahori Kita, Scott T. Albert, Robert A. Scheidt, Reza Shadmehr and John W. Krakauer | Summary: Moving and holding still have been posited to be under separate control regimes for both eye and arm movements. The paretic arm after stroke is notable for abnormalities both at […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Anusha Kalyaan, Paola Pinilla, Sebastiaan Krijt, Andrea Banzatti, Giovanni Rosotti | Summary: Substructures in protoplanetary disks can act as dust traps that shape the radial distribution of pebbles. By blocking the passage of pebbles, the presence of gaps in disks may have a profound effect on […]

Kavli Affiliate: Vinothan N. Manoharan | First 5 Authors: Xander M. de Wit, Amelia W. Paine, Caroline Martin, Aaron M. Goldfain, Rees F. Garmann | Summary: Interferometric scattering microscopy (iSCAT) can image the dynamics of nanometer-scale systems. The typical approach to analyzing interferometric images involves intensive processing, which discards data and limits the precision of […]
