Results and Limits of Time Division Multiplexing for the BICEP Array High Frequency Receivers

Posted by Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: Time-Division Multiplexing is the readout architecture of choice for many ground and space experiments, as it is a very mature technology with proven outstanding low-frequency noise stability, which represents a central challenge in multiplexing. Once fully populated, each of the two […]

Influence of myosin regulatory light chain and myosin light chain kinase on hair cells of the inner ear

Posted by dbos Rockefeller

Kavli Affiliate: A. James Hudspeth | Authors: Ryohei Oya, Kwang Min Woo, Brian Fabella, Rodrigo Gogui Alonso and Albert James Hudspeth | Summary: In the receptor organs of the inner ear and lateral line, sensory hair cells detect mechanical stimuli such as sounds, accelerations, and water movements. In each instance a stimulus deflects the hair […]

Ray-tracing simulations of the Soft X-ray Scattered Emission in obscured Active Galactic Nuclei

Posted by dbos Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Jeffrey McKaig, Claudio Ricci, Stéphane Paltani, K. K. Gupta, Nicholas P. Abel | Summary: Most Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in the local Universe are obscured. In these obscured AGN an excess is usually observed in the soft X-rays below ~2 keV above the absorbed X-ray continuum. This […]

From Halos to Galaxies. VII. The Connections Between Stellar Mass Growth History, Quenching History and Halo Assembly History for Central Galaxies

Posted by dbos Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Yingjie Peng | First 5 Authors: Cheqiu Lyu, Yingjie Peng, Yipeng Jing, Xiaohu Yang, Luis C. Ho | Summary: The assembly of galaxies over cosmic time is tightly connected to the assembly of their host dark matter halos. We investigate the stellar mass growth history and the chemical enrichment history of central galaxies […]

Low-energy Explosions in a Gravitational Field: Implications for Sub-energetic Supernovae and Fast X-ray Transients

Posted by dbos MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj R. Pasham | First 5 Authors: Daniel A. Paradiso, Eric R. Coughlin, Jonathan Zrake, Dheeraj R. Pasham, | Summary: Observations and theory suggest that core-collapse supernovae can span a range of explosion energies, and when sub-energetic, the shockwave initiating the explosion can decelerate to speeds comparable to the escape speed of the […]
