Kavli Affiliate: Jinyi Shangguan | First 5 Authors: Zexuan Wu, Subo Dong, A. Mérand, Christopher S. Kochanek, Przemek Mróz | Summary: We resolve the multiple images of the binary-lens microlensing event ASASSN-22av using the GRAVITY instrument of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI). The light curves show weak binary perturbations, complicating the analysis, but the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eliska Greplova | First 5 Authors: Thomas Spriggs, Arash Ahmadi, Bokai Chen, Eliska Greplova, | Summary: Variational techniques have long been at the heart of atomic, solid-state, and many-body physics. They have recently extended to quantum and classical machine learning, providing a basis for representing quantum states via neural networks. These methods generally […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeevak M. Parpia | First 5 Authors: Petri J. Heikkinen, Lev V. Levitin, Xavier Rojas, Angadjit Singh, Nathan Eng | Summary: Anisotropic pair breaking close to surfaces favors chiral superfluid $^3$He-A over time-reversal invariant $^3$He-B. Confining superfluid $^3$He into a cavity of height $D$ of the order of the Cooper pair size characterized […]
Kavli Affiliate: Abraham Stroock | First 5 Authors: Vesna Bacheva, Imani Madison, Mathew Baldwin, Mark Beilstein, Douglas F. Call | Summary: Feeding the growing human population sustainably amidst climate change is one of the most important challenges in the 21st century. Current practices often lead to the overuse of agronomic inputs, such as synthetic fertilizers […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jinyi Shangguan | First 5 Authors: The GRAVITY Collaboration, Karim Abd El Dayem, Roberto Abuter, Nicolas Aimar, Pau Amaro Seoane | Summary: Studying the orbital motion of stars around Sagittarius A* in the Galactic Center provides a unique opportunity to probe the gravitational potential near the supermassive black hole at the heart of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anastasia Kiyonaga | Authors: Anastasia Kiyonaga, Jacob Miller and Mark D’Esposito | Summary: Humans must often keep multiple task goals in mind, at different levels of priority and immediacy, while also interacting with the environment. We might need to remember information for an upcoming task while engaged in more immediate actions. Consequently, actively […]
Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Kriti K. Gupta, Claudio Ricci, Matthew J. Temple, Alessia Tortosa, Michael J. Koss | Summary: We present one of the largest multiwavelength studies of simultaneous optical-to-X-ray spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of unobscured active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the local Universe. Using a representative sample of hard-X-ray-selected AGN […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Erin Kado-Fong, Marla Geha, Yao-Yuan Mao, Mithi A. C. de los Reyes, Risa H. Wechsler | Summary: The redshift-dependent relation between galaxy stellar mass and star formation rate (the Star-Forming Sequence, or SFS) is a key observational yardstick for galaxy assembly. We use the SAGAbg-A sample […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey J. McMahon | First 5 Authors: Alina Sabyr, Carlos Sierra, J. Colin Hill, Jeffrey J. McMahon, | Summary: Deviations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) energy spectrum from a perfect blackbody uniquely probe a wide range of physics, ranging from fundamental physics in the primordial Universe ($mu$-distortion) to late-time baryonic feedback processes […]
