Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Nadiia M. Kostogryz, Alexander I. Shapiro, Veronika Witzke, Robert H. Cameron, Laurent Gizon | Summary: Stars appear darker at their limbs than at their disk centers because at the limb we are viewing the higher and cooler layers of stellar photospheres. Limb darkening derived from state-of-the-art stellar […]

Kavli Affiliate: Harry A. Atwater | First 5 Authors: Lior Michaeli, Ramon Gao, Michael D. Kelzenberg, Claudio U. Hail, Adrien Merkt | Summary: Ultrathin lightsails propelled by laser radiation pressure to relativistic speeds are currently the most promising route for flyby-based exoplanet exploration. However, there has been a notable lack of experimental characterization of key […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Michele L. Silverstein, Thomas Barclay, Joshua E. Schlieder, Karen A. Collins, Richard P. Schwarz | Summary: The nearby LHS 1678 (TOI-696) system contains two confirmed planets and a wide-orbit, likely-brown-dwarf companion, which orbit an M2 dwarf with a unique evolutionary history. The host star occupies a narrow […]

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Junyao Li, John D. Silverman, Yue Shen, Marta Volonteri, Knud Jahnke | Summary: JWST is revealing a new remarkable population of high-redshift ($zgtrsim4$), low-luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) in deep surveys and detecting the host galaxy stellar light in the most luminous and massive quasars at […]
Kavli Affiliate: Darrell G. Schlom | First 5 Authors: Jacob P. Ruf, Hilary M. L. Noad, Romain Grasset, Ludi Miao, Elina Zhakina | Summary: In bulk Sr$_{2}$RuO$_{4}$, the strong sensitivity of the superconducting transition temperature $T_{text{c}}$ to nonmagnetic impurities provides robust evidence for a superconducting order parameter that changes sign around the Fermi surface. In […]
Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li | First 5 Authors: Bingchen Li, Xin Li, Hanxin Zhu, Yeying Jin, Ruoyu Feng | Summary: Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have been widely used to recover vivid textures in image super-resolution (SR) tasks. In particular, one discriminator is utilized to enable the SR network to learn the distribution of real-world […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Alberto Bordin, Chun-Xiao Liu, Tom Dvir, Francesco Zatelli, Sebastiaan L. D. ten Haaf | Summary: Majorana zero modes (MZMs) are non-Abelian excitations predicted to emerge at the edges of topological superconductors. One proposal for realizing a topological superconductor in one dimension involves a chain of spinless fermions, […]
