Kavli Affiliate: Roland Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Ashley Chontos, Daniel Huber, Samuel K. Grunblatt, Nicholas Saunders, Joshua N. Winn | Summary: We present a dedicated transit and radial velocity survey of planets orbiting subgiant stars observed by the TESS Mission. Using $sim$$16$ nights on Keck/HIRES, we confirm and characterize $12$ new transiting planets — […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anatol Kreitzer | Authors: Robyn St. Laurent, Kelly M Kusche, Anatol C Kreitzer and Robert C Malenka | Summary: Background The avoidance of aversive stimuli due to negative reinforcement learning is critical for survival in real-world environments, which demand dynamic responding to both positive and negative stimuli that often conflict with each other. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Juan Daniel Torres Luna, A. Mert Bozkurt, Michael Wimmer, Chun-Xiao Liu, | Summary: Connecting quantum dots through Andreev bound states in a semiconductor-superconductor hybrid provides a platform to create a Kitaev chain. Interestingly, in a double quantum dot, a pair of poor man’s Majorana zero modes can […]

Kavli Affiliate: David Shoemaker | First 5 Authors: Monica Colpi, Karsten Danzmann, Martin Hewitson, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Philippe Jetzer | Summary: The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is the first scientific endeavour to detect and study gravitational waves from space. LISA will survey the sky for Gravitational Waves in the 0.1 mHz to 1 Hz frequency […]

Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Qingru Hu, Malena Rice, Xian-Yu Wang, Songhu Wang, Avi Shporer | Summary: TOI-677 b is part of an emerging class of “tidally-detached” gas giants ($a/R_star gtrsim 11$) that exhibit large orbital eccentricities and yet low stellar obliquities. Such sources pose a challenge for models of giant planet […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alan M. Levine | First 5 Authors: Anmol Desai, Emma V. Turtelboom, Caleb K. Harada, Courtney D. Dressing, David R. Rice | Summary: We present and confirm TOI-1751 b, a transiting sub-Neptune orbiting a slightly evolved, solar-type, metal-poor star ($T_{eff} = 5996 pm 110$ K, $log(g) = 4.2 pm 0.1$, V = 9.3 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Mohammad K. Mardini, Anna Frebel, Anirudh Chiti, , | Summary: We report on the discovery of the first ultra metal-poor (UMP) star 2MASS~J20500194$-$6613298 (J2050$-$6613; mbox{[Fe/H] = $-4.05$}) selected from the Gaia BP/RP spectral catalog that belongs to the ancient Atari disk component. We obtained a high-resolution spectrum […]
Kavli Affiliate: Loren Frank | Authors: Anna K Gillespie, Daniela A Astudillo Maya, Eric L. Denovellis, Sachi Desse and Loren M Frank | Summary: Hippocampal replay – the time-compressed, sequential reactivation of ensembles of neurons related to past experience – is a key neural mechanism of memory consolidation. Replay typically coincides with a characteristic pattern […]
