The most distant HI galaxies discovered by the 500 m dish FAST

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Hongwei Xi, Bo Peng, Lister Staveley-Smith, Bi-Qing For, Bin Liu | Summary: Neutral hydrogen (HI) is the primary component of the cool interstellar medium (ISM) and is the reservoir of fuel for star formation. Owing to the sensitivity of existing radio telescopes, our understanding of the evolution […]

Holographic Beam Measurements of the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME)

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Mandana Amiri, Arnab Chakraborty, Simon Foreman, Mark Halpern, Alex S Hill | Summary: We present the first results of the holographic beam mapping program for the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME). We describe the implementation of the holographic technique as adapted for CHIME, and introduce […]

Shocking and Mass Loss of Compact Donor Stars in Type Ia Supernovae

Kavli Affiliate: Lars Bildsten | First 5 Authors: Tin Long Sunny Wong, Christopher White, Lars Bildsten, , | Summary: Type Ia supernovae arise from thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs accreting from a binary companion. Following the explosion, the surviving donor star leaves at roughly its orbital velocity. The discovery of the runaway helium subdwarf star […]

Ciliary biology intersects autism and congenital heart disease

Kavli Affiliate: Jeremy Willsey | Authors: Nia Teerikorpi, Micaela C Lasser, Sheng Wang, Elina Kostyanovskaya, Ethel Bader, Nawei Sun, Jeanselle Dea, Tomasz J. Nowakowski, A Jeremy Willsey and Helen Willsey | Summary: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) commonly co-occurs with congenital heart disease (CHD), but the molecular mechanisms underlying this comorbidity remain unknown. Given that children […]
