Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Yue Pan, Anirudh Chiti, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Alexander P. Ji, Ting S. Li | Summary: We conducted an in-depth analysis of candidate member stars located in the peripheries of three ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) galaxy satellites of the Milky Way: Bo"otes I (Boo1), Bo"otes II (Boo2), and Segue […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Deveshi Buch, Ethan O. Nadler, Risa H. Wechsler, Yao-Yuan Mao, | Summary: We present Milky Way-est, a suite of 20 cosmological cold-dark-matter-only zoom-in simulations of Milky Way (MW)-like host halos. Milky Way-est hosts are selected such that they (i) are consistent with the MW’s measured halo […]

Kavli Affiliate: Lee McCuller | First 5 Authors: Sander M. Vermeulen, Torrey Cullen, Daniel Grass, Ian A. O. MacMillan, Alexander J. Ramirez | Summary: The GQuEST (Gravity from the Quantum Entanglement of Space-Time) experiment uses tabletop-scale Michelson laser interferometers to probe for fluctuations in space-time. We present a practicable interferometer design featuring a novel photon […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Chao-Jun Feng, , , | Summary: The curved spacetime induced by gravitational waves can give rise to visual effects such as geometric distortions and redshift structures in the observed image. By establishing a mapping from the object’s surface coordinates to the observer’s screen coordinates, we […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eliska Greplova | First 5 Authors: Lukas Johannes Splitthoff, Miguel Carrera Belo, Guliuxin Jin, Yu Li, Eliska Greplova | Summary: Metamaterials engineered to host topological states of matter in controllable quantum systems hold promise for the advancement of quantum simulations and quantum computing technologies. In this context, the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model has gained […]
Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: T. E. Zastrocky, Michael S. Brotherton, Pu Du, Jacob N. McLane, Kianna A. Olson | Summary: We report first-time reverberation mapping results for 14 AGNs from the ongoing Monitoring AGNs with H$beta$ Asymmetry campaign (MAHA). These results utilize optical spectra obtained with the Long Slit Spectrograph […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiaoqin Wang | Authors: Liam Paninski and Nathaniel Sawtell | Summary: To understand the neural basis of behavior, it is essential to sensitively and accurately measure neural activity at single neuron and single spike resolution. Extracellular electrophysiology delivers this, but it has biases in the neurons it detects and it imperfectly resolves their […]
