Discovery of two warm mini-Neptunes with contrasting densities orbiting the young K3V star TOI-815

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Angelica Psaridi, Hugh Osborn, François Bouchy, Monika Lendl, Léna Parc | Summary: We present the discovery and characterization of two warm mini-Neptunes transiting the K3V star TOI-815 in a K-M binary system. Analysis of the spectra and rotation period reveal it to be a young star with […]

Photoevaporation from Inner Protoplanetary Disks Confronted with Observations

Kavli Affiliate: Lile Wang | First 5 Authors: Yiren Lin, Lile Wang, Min Fang, Ahmad Nemer, Jeremy Goodman | Summary: The decades-long explorations on the dispersal of protoplanetary disks involve many debates about photoevaporation versus magnetized wind launching mechanisms. This letter argues that the observed winds originating from the inner disk ($Rlesssim 0.3$ AU) cannot […]

FBM: Freestanding bilayer microscope for single-molecule imaging of membrane proteins

Kavli Affiliate: Roderick MacKinnon | Authors: Gonzalo Pérez-Mitta, Yeliz Sezgin, Weiwei Wang and Roderick MacKinnon | Summary: Abstract Integral membrane proteins (IMPs) constitute a large fraction of organismal proteomes, playing fundamental roles in physiology and disease. Despite their importance, the mechanisms underlying dynamic features of IMPs, such as anomalous diffusion, protein-protein interactions, and protein clustering, […]

Protocol for certifying entanglement in surface spin systems using a scanning tunneling microscope

Kavli Affiliate: Sander Otte | First 5 Authors: Rik Broekhoven, Curie Lee, Soo-hyon Phark, Sander Otte, Christoph Wolf | Summary: Certifying quantum entanglement is a critical step towards realizing quantum-coherent applications of surface spin systems. In this work, we show that entanglement can be unambiguously shown in a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) with electron spin […]

Discovering group dynamics in coordinated time series via hierarchical recurrent switching-state models

Kavli Affiliate: Eric Miller | First 5 Authors: Michael T. Wojnowicz, Kaitlin Gili, Preetish Rath, Eric Miller, Jeffrey Miller | Summary: We seek a computationally efficient model for a collection of time series arising from multiple interacting entities (a.k.a. "agents"). Recent models of spatiotemporal patterns across individuals fail to incorporate explicit system-level collective behavior that […]
