Kavli Affiliate: Hu Zhan | First 5 Authors: Zun Luo, Wei Du, Baocun Chen, Xianmin Meng, Hu Zhan | Summary: Precision measurements in astronomy require stringent control of systematics such as those arising from imperfect correction of sensor effects. In this work, we develop a parametric method to model the wavelength dependence of pixel response […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Fengwei Xu, Ke Wang, Tie Liu, David Eden, Xunchuan Liu | Summary: High-latitude ($|b|>30^{circ}$) molecular clouds have virial parameters that exceed 1, but whether these clouds can form stars has not been studied systematically. Using JCMT SCUBA-2 archival data, we surveyed 70 fields that target high-latitude Planck […]

Kavli Affiliate: Naoki Yasuda | First 5 Authors: Zhuoxi Liang, Nao Suzuki, Mamoru Doi, Masayuki Tanaka, Naoki Yasuda | Summary: We present the luminosity functions and stellar mass functions of supernova (SN) host galaxies and test if they differ from the functions of normal field galaxies. We utilize homogeneous samples consisting of 273 SNe Ia […]
Kavli Affiliate: Seth Shipman | Authors: Asim G. Khan, Matías Rojas-Montero, Alejandro González-Delgado, Santiago C. Lopez, Rebecca F. Fang and Seth L. Shipman | Summary: Abstract Retrons are bacterial immune systems that use reverse transcribed DNA as a detector of phage infection. They are also increasingly deployed as a component of biotechnology. For genome editing, […]

Kavli Affiliate: Anirvan Nandy | Authors: Mitchell P. Morton, Sachira Denagamage, Nyomi V. Hudson and Anirvan S. Nandy | Summary: Crowding, the impaired ability to accurately recognize a target stimulus among distractors, is a major bottleneck in visual perception. The spatial configuration of distractors in relation to the target profoundly influences perceptual fidelity. Notably, when […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Tingting Liu, Rick Edelson, Juan V. Hernández Santisteban, Erin Kara, John Montano | Summary: We present an intensive multiwavelength monitoring campaign of the quasar PG 1302$-$102 with Swift and the Las Cumbres Observatory network telescopes. At $zsim0.3$, it tests the limits of the reverberation mapping (RM) technique […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger D. Blandford | First 5 Authors: Andrew G. Sullivan, Roger D. Blandford, Mitchell C. Begelman, Mark Birkinshaw, Anthony C. S. Readhead | Summary: Double lobe radio sources associated with active galactic nuclei represent one of the longest studied groups in radio astronomy. A particular sub-group of double radio sources comprises the compact […]
