Merging gas-rich galaxies that harbor low-luminosity twin quasars at z = 6.05: a promising progenitor of the most luminous quasars

Posted by dbos May 3, 2024Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Takuma Izumi, Yoshiki Matsuoka, Masafusa Onoue, Michael A. Strauss, Hideki Umehata | Summary: We present ALMA [CII] 158 $mu$m line and underlying far-infrared (FIR) continuum emission observations ($0”.57 times 0”.46$ resolution) toward a quasar-quasar pair system recently discovered at $z = 6.05$ (Matsuoka et al. 2024).

Discovery of merging twin quasars at z = 6.05

Posted by dbos May 3, 2024Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Yoshiki Matsuoka, Takuma Izumi, Masafusa Onoue, Michael A. Strauss, Kazushi Iwasawa | Summary: We report the discovery of two quasars at a redshift of $z$ = 6.05, in the process of merging. They were serendipitously discovered from the deep multi-band imaging data collected by the Hyper […]

Two routes to value-based decisions in Parkinsons disease: differentiating incremental reinforcement learning from episodic memory

Posted by dbos May 3, 2024May 13, 2024Columbia

Kavli Affiliate: Daphna Shohamy | Authors: Peter Jendrichovsky, Hey-Kyoung Lee and Patrick O Kanold | Summary: Patients with Parkinsons disease are impaired at incremental reward-based learning. It is typically assumed that this impairment reflects a loss of striatal dopamine. However, many open questions remain about the nature of reward-based learning deficits in Parkinsons. Recent studies […]

Dark exposure reduces high-frequency hearing loss in C57BL/6J mice

Posted by dbos May 3, 2024May 13, 2024Hopkins

Kavli Affiliate: Hey-Kyoung Lee and Patrick Kanold | Authors: Peter Jendrichovsky, Hey-Kyoung Lee and Patrick O Kanold | Summary: Plastic changes in the brain are primarily limited to early postnatal periods. Recovery of adult brain plasticity is critical for the effective development of therapies. A brief (1-2 week) duration of visual deprivation (dark exposure, DE) […]

Exomoons & Exorings with the Habitable Worlds Observatory I: On the Detection of Earth-Moon Analog Shadows & Eclipses

Posted by dbos May 3, 2024MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Mary Anne Limbach, Jacob Lustig-Yaeger, Andrew Vanderburg, Johanna M. Vos, Rene Heller | Summary: The highest priority recommendation of the Astro2020 Decadal Survey for space-based astronomy was the construction of an observatory capable of characterizing habitable worlds. In this paper series we explore the detectability of and […]

Gravothermal Catastrophe in Resonant Self-interacting Dark Matter Models

Posted by dbos May 3, 2024MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Vinh Tran, Daniel Gilman, Mark Vogelsberger, Xuejian Shen, Stephanie O’Neil | Summary: We investigate a self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) model featuring a velocity-dependent cross section with an order-of-magnitude resonant enhancement of the cross section at $sim 16,{rm km},{rm s}^{-1}$. To understand the implications for the structure of […]
