On the Statistical Mechanics of Mass Accommodation at Liquid-Vapor Interfaces

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Kritanjan Polley, Kevin R. Wilson, David T. Limmer, , | Summary: We propose a framework for describing the dynamics associated with the adsorption of small molecules to liquid-vapor interfaces, using an intermediate resolution between traditional continuum theories that are bereft of molecular detail and molecular dynamics […]

An Extremely Young Protostellar Core, MMS 1/ OMC-3: Episodic Mass Ejection History Traced by the Micro SiO Jet

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Satoko Takahashi, Masahiro N. Machida, Mitsuki Omura, Doug Johnstone, Kazuya Saigo | Summary: We present ${sim}0.2$ arcsec ($sim$80 au) resolution observations of the CO (2-1) and SiO (5-4) lines made with the Atacama large millimeter/submillimeter array toward an extremely young intermediate-mass protostellar source (t$_{rm dyn}<$1000 years), […]

Dynamic categorization rules alter representations in human visual cortex

Kavli Affiliate: John Serences | Authors: Margaret M Henderson, John T Serences and Nuttida Rungratsameetaweemana | Summary: Abstract Everyday perceptual tasks require sensory stimuli to be dynamically encoded and analyzed according to changing behavioral goals. For example, when searching for an apple at the supermarket, one might first find the Granny Smith apples by separating […]

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: 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 role of environment and AGN feedback in quenching local galaxies: Comparing cosmological hydrodynamical simulations to the SDSS

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Paul H. Goubert, Asa F. L. Bluck, Joanna M. Piotrowska, Roberto Maiolino, | Summary: We present an analysis of the quenching of local observed and simulated galaxies, including an investigation of the dependence of quiescence on both intrinsic and environmental parameters. We apply an advanced machine learning […]
