Relative alignment between gas structures and magnetic field in Orion A at different scales using different molecular gas tracers

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Wenyu Jiao, Ke Wang, Fengwei Xu, Chao Wang, Henrik Beuther | Summary: Context: Magnetic fields can play crucial roles in high-mass star formation. Nonetheless, the significance of magnetic fields at various scales and their relationship with gas structures is largely overlooked. Aims: Our goal is to examine […]

Investigation of nanophotonic lithium niobate waveguides for on-chip evanescent wave sensing

Kavli Affiliate: Scott K. Cushing | First 5 Authors: Nathan A. Harper, Emily Y. Hwang, Philip A. Kocheril, Tze King Lam, Scott K. Cushing | Summary: Thin-film lithium niobate is a promising photonic platform for on-chip optical sensing because both nonlinear and linear components can be fabricated within one integrated device. To date, waveguided sample […]

Witt’s hyperbola is both predicted and observed to pass close to the lensing galaxies in quadruple quasars

Kavli Affiliate: Paul L. Schechter | First 5 Authors: Paul L. Schechter, Richard Luhtaru, , , | Summary: When a rectangular hyperbola is constructed from the image positions of a quadruply lensed quasar, as proposed by Witt (1996), it passes very close to the the lensing galaxy. The median measured perpendicular offset between the observed […]

Galaxies lensing quadruply imaged quasars lie close to the centers of their lensing potentials

Kavli Affiliate: Paul L. Schechter | First 5 Authors: Paul L. Schechter, Richard Luhtaru, , , | Summary: In modeling the potentials of quadruply lensed quasars, investigators often employ models for the stellar surface brightness profile of the lensing galaxy for the sole purpose of eliminating its contamination of the light from the quasar images […]

Whole-brain neural substrates of behavioral variability in the larval zebrafish

Kavli Affiliate: Alipasha Vaziri | Authors: Jason Manley and Alipasha Vaziri | Summary: Animals engaged in naturalistic behavior can exhibit a large degree of behavioral variability even under sensory invariant conditions. Such behavioral variability can include not only variations of the same behavior, but also variability across qualitatively different behaviors driven by divergent cognitive states, […]

AGN feedback in the Local Universe: multiphase outflow of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 5506

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Federico Esposito, Almudena Alonso-Herrero, Santiago García-Burillo, Viviana Casasola, Françoise Combes | Summary: We present new optical GTC/MEGARA seeing-limited (0.9") integral-field observations of NGC 5506, together with ALMA observations of the CO(3-2) transition at a 0.2" (25 pc) resolution. NGC 5506 is a luminous (bolometric luminosity of $sim […]
