Searching for strong gravitational lenses

Kavli Affiliate: Paul Schechter | First 5 Authors: Cameron Lemon, Frédéric Courbin, Anupreeta More, Paul Schechter, Raoul Cañameras | Summary: Strong gravitational lenses provide unique laboratories for cosmological and astrophysical investigations, but they must first be discovered – a task that can be met with significant contamination by other astrophysical objects and asterisms. Here we […]

Primordial Origin of Supermassive Black Holes from Axion Bubbles

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Kentaro Kasai, Masahiro Kawasaki, Naoya Kitajima, Kai Murai, Shunsuke Neda | Summary: We study a modification of the primordial black hole (PBH) formation model from axion bubbles. We assume that the Peccei-Quinn scalar rolls down in the radial direction from a large field value to the potential […]

Flat to nonflat: Calculating nonlinear power spectra of biased tracers for nonflat $Λ$CDM model

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Takada | First 5 Authors: Ryo Terasawa, Ryuichi Takahashi, Takahiro Nishimichi, Masahiro Takada, | Summary: The growth of large-scale structure, together with the geometrical information of cosmic expansion history and cosmological distances, can be used to obtain constraints on the spatial curvature of the universe that probes the early universe physics, whereas […]

Water-Rich Disks around Late M-stars Unveiled: Exploring the Remarkable Case of Sz114

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Chengyan Xie, Ilaria Pascucci, Feng Long, Klaus M. Pontoppidan, Andrea Banzatti | Summary: We present an analysis of the JDISC JWST/MIRI-MRS spectrum of Sz~114, an accreting M5 star surrounded by a large dust disk with a shallow gap at $sim 39$ au. The spectrum is molecular-rich: […]

Nanomechanics of wild-type and mutant dimers of the tip-link protein protocadherin 15

Kavli Affiliate: A. James Hudspeth | Authors: Camila M. Villasante, Xinyue Deng, Joel E. Cohen and A.J. Hudspeth | Summary: Mechanical force controls the opening and closing of mechanosensitive ion channels atop the hair bundles of the inner ear. The filamentous tip link connecting transduction channels to the tallest neighboring stereocilium modulates the force transmitted […]

Encoding of melody in the human auditory cortex

Kavli Affiliate: Edward Chang | Authors: Narayan Sankaran, Matthew K Leonard, Frederic E Theunissen and Edward F Chang | Summary: Melody is a core component of music in which discrete pitches are serially arranged to convey emotion and meaning. Perception of melody varies along several pitch-based dimensions: (1) the absolute pitch of notes, (2) the […]
