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, […]

Denovellis, Ryan Ly, Jeremy Magland, Jeff Soules, Alison E Comrie, Daniel P Gramling, Jennifer A Guidera, Rhino Nevers, Philip Adenekan, Chris Brozdowski, Sam Bray, Emily Monroe, Ji Hyun Bak, Michael Coulter, Xulu Sun, Andrew Tritt, Oliver Oliver Ruebel, Thinh Nguyen, […]
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 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Stephen Casper, Carson Ezell, Charlotte Siegmann, Noam Kolt, Taylor Lynn Curtis | Summary: External audits of AI systems are increasingly recognized as a key mechanism for AI governance. The effectiveness of an audit, however, depends on the degree of access granted to auditors. Recent audits of state-of-the-art […]
