An FUV-detected Accretion Shock at the Star-Disk Boundary of FU Ori

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Adolfo S. Carvalho, Lynne A. Hillenbrand, Kevin France, Gregory J. Herczeg, | Summary: FU Ori objects are the most extreme eruptive young stars known. Their 4 to 5 magnitude photometric outbursts last for decades and are attributed to a factor of up to 10,000 increase in […]

Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation Drives Bi-Directional Changes in Excitability in Prefrontal Cortex

Kavli Affiliate: Jyoti Mishra and Dhakshin Ramanathan | Authors: Morteza Salimi, Milad Nazari, Jonathan Mishler, Jyoti Mishra and Dhakshin Ramanathan | Summary: Summary: Theta burst stimulation (TBS), an FDA-cleared treatment for depression, is hypothesized to modulate excitability in the prefrontal cortex, though this has not definitively been shown in vivo. We performed calcium imaging on […]

Functional Regrowth of Norepinephrine Axons in the Adult Mouse Brain Following Injury

Kavli Affiliate: David Linden | Authors: Patrick R Cooke and David J Linden | Summary: Summary: It is widely believed that axons in the central nervous system of adult mammals do not regrow following injury. This failure is thought, at least in part, to underlie the limited recovery of function following injury to the brain […]

Inverse model for network construction: (δ(G), I’ (G)) -> G

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Wei Gao, Yaojun Chen, Hainan Zhang, , | Summary: The isolated toughness variant is a salient parameter for measuring the vulnerability of networks, which is inherently related to fractional factors (used to characterize the feasibility of data transmission). The combination of minimum degree and the corresponding tight […]

On the kinematic nature of apparent discs at high redshifts: Local counterparts are not dominated by ordered rotation but by tangentially anisotropic random motion

Kavli Affiliate: Yingjie Peng | First 5 Authors: Bitao Wang, Yingjie Peng, Michele Cappellari, Hua Gao, Houjun Mo | Summary: It is not straightforward to physically interpret the apparent morphology of galaxies. Recent observations by James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) revealed a dominant galaxy population at high redshifts ($z>2$) that were visually classified as discs […]

Concept of a Double Tilted Rowland Spectrograph for X-rays

Kavli Affiliate: Ralf K. Heilmann | First 5 Authors: Hans Moritz Günther, Casey T. DeRoo, Ralf K. Heilmann, Edward Hertz, | Summary: High-resolution spectroscopy in soft X-rays ($<2$ keV) requires diffractive elements to resolve any astrophysically relevant diagnostics, such as closely spaced lines, weak absorption lines, or line profiles. The Rowland torus geometry describes how […]
