Cygnus X-3 revealed as a Galactic ultraluminous X-ray source by IXPE

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Alexandra Veledina, Fabio Muleri, Juri Poutanen, Jakub Podgorný, Michal Dovčiak | Summary: The accretion of matter by compact objects can be inhibited by radiation pressure if the luminosity exceeds the critical value, known as the Eddington limit. Discovery of ultraluminous X-ray sources has shown that accretion […]

BrainLine: An Open Pipeline for Connectivity Analysis of Heterogeneous Whole-Brain Fluorescence Volumes

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Miller, Joshua Vogelstein | Authors: Thomas Athey, Matthew Wright, Marija Pavlovic, Vikram Chandrashekhar, Karl Deisseroth, Michael Miller and Joshua Vogelstein | Summary: Whole-brain fluorescence images require several stages of computational processing to fully reveal the neuron morphology and connectivity information they contain. However, these computational tools are rarely part of an integrated […]

Inhibitory control of speech production in the human premotor frontal cortex

Kavli Affiliate: Edward Chang | Authors: Lingyun Zhao, Alexander B. Silva, Garret L. Kurteff and Edward F. Chang | Summary: Natural speech is full of starts and stops. Here, we studied the neural mechanisms that underlie the inhibitory control of speech, specifically the ability to stop speaking on demand. We recorded direct cortical activity while […]

Nucleosynthesis in outflows of compact objects and detection prospects of associated kilonovae

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Nick Ekanger, Mukul Bhattacharya, Shunsaku Horiuchi, , | Summary: We perform a comparative analysis of nucleosynthesis yields from binary neutron star (BNS) mergers, black hole-neutron star (BHNS) mergers, and core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) with the goal of determining which are the most dominant sources of r-process enrichment observed […]

Cell Division and Motility Enable Hexatic Order in Biological Tissues

Kavli Affiliate: Mark J. Bowick | First 5 Authors: Yiwen Tang, Siyuan Chen, Mark J. Bowick, Dapeng Bi, | Summary: Biological tissues transform between solid-like and liquid-like states in many fundamental physiological events. Recent experimental observations further suggest that in two-dimensional epithelial tissues these solid-liquid transformations can happen via intermediate states akin to the intermediate […]

The Initial Mass Function and Other Stellar Properties Across the Core of the Hydra I Cluster

Kavli Affiliate: Wendy Freedman | First 5 Authors: Ilaria Lonoce, Wendy Freedman, Anja Feldmeier-Krause, , | Summary: The Hydra I cluster offers an excellent opportunity to study and compare the relic old stellar populations in the core of its two brightest galaxies. In addition, the differing kinematics of the two galaxies allows a test of […]

Variational deep learning of equilibrium transition path ensembles

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Aditya N. Singh, David T. Limmer, , , | Summary: We present a time dependent variational method to learn the mechanisms of equilibrium reactive processes and efficiently evaluate their rates within a transition path ensemble. This approach builds off variational path sampling methodology by approximating the […]
