Discovery of a strong rotation of the X-ray polarization angle in the galactic burster GX 13+1

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Anna Bobrikova, Sofia V. Forsblom, Alessandro Di Marco, Fabio La Monaca, Juri Poutanen | Summary: Weakly magnetized neutron stars in X-ray binaries show complex phenomenology with several spectral components that can be associated with the accretion disk, boundary and/or spreading layer, a corona, and a wind.

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: A search for late-time anisotropic screening of the Cosmic Microwave Background

Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: William R. Coulton, William R. Coulton, , , | Summary: Since the formation of the first stars, most of the gas in the Universe has been ionized. Spatial variations in the density of this ionized gas generate cosmic microwave background anisotropies via Thomson scattering, a process […]

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Detection of Patchy Screening of the Cosmic Microwave Background

Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: William R. Coulton, Theo Schutt, Abhishek S. Maniyar, Emmanuel Schaan, Rui An | Summary: Spatial variations in the cosmic electron density after reionization generate cosmic microwave background anisotropies via Thomson scattering, a process known as the “patchy screening" effect. In this paper, we propose a new […]

The combination of feedforward and feedback processing accounts for contextual effects in visual cortex

Kavli Affiliate: Kenneth Miller | Authors: Serena Di Santo, Mario Dipoppa, Andreas Keller, Morgane Roth, Massimo Scanziani and Kenneth D Miller | Summary: Abstract Sensory systems must combine local features with context to infer meaning. Accordingly, context profoundly influences neural responses. We developed a unified circuit model demonstrating how feedforward and feedback inputs are integrated […]
