The Polarized Cosmic Hand: IXPE Observations of PSR B1509-58/MSH 15-52

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Roger W. Romani, Josephine Wong, Niccolo Di Lalla, Nicola Omodei, Fei Xie | Summary: We describe IXPE polarization observations of the Pulsar Wind Nebula (PWN) MSH15-52, the `Cosmic Hand’. We find X-ray polarization across the PWN, with B field vectors generally aligned with filamentary X-ray structures. […]

Unsupervised pattern discovery in spatial gene expression atlas reveals mouse brain regions beyond established ontology

Kavli Affiliate: Reza Abbasi Asl | Authors: Robert Cahill, Yu Wang, Alex Lee, Hongkui Zeng, Bin Yu, Bosiljka Tasic and Reza Abbasi-Asl | Summary: The growth of large-scale spatial gene expression data requires new computational tools to extract major trends in gene expression in their native spatial context. Here, we describe an unsupervised and interpretable […]

Mixed Multi-Level Visual, Reward, and Motor Signals in Dorsomedial Frontal Cortex Area F7 during Active Naturalistic Video Exploration

Kavli Affiliate: Winrich Freiwald | Authors: Farid Aboharb, Stephen Serene, Julia Sliwa and Winrich A Freiwald | Summary: In the primate brain the frontal lobes support complex functions, including social cognition. Understanding the functional organization of these regions requires an approach for rich functional characterization. Here we used a novel paradigm, the visual exploration of […]

In-situ vs accreted Milky Way globular clusters: a new classification method and implications for cluster formation

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Vasily Belokurov, Andrey Kravtsov, , , | Summary: We present a new scheme for the classification of the in-situ and accreted globular clusters (GCs). The scheme uses total energy $E$ and $z$-component of the orbital angular momentum and is calibrated using [Al/Fe] abundance ratio. We demonstrate that […]

Simulating ionization feedback from young massive stars: impact of numerical resolution

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Yunwei Deng, Hui Li, Rahul Kannan, Aaron Smith, Mark Vogelsberger | Summary: Modelling galaxy formation in hydrodynamic simulations has increasingly adopted various radiative transfer methods to account for photoionization feedback from young massive stars. However, the evolution of HII regions around stars begins in dense star-forming clouds […]

Kitaev chain in an alternating quantum dot-Andreev bound state array

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Sebastian Miles, David van Driel, Michael Wimmer, Chun-Xiao Liu, | Summary: We propose to implement a Kitaev chain based on an array of alternating normal and superconductor hybrid quantum dots embedded in semiconductors. In particular, the orbitals in the dot and the Andreev bound states in the […]
