Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Jack T. Dinsmore, Roger W. Romani, , , | Summary: We present the first Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO) catalog of "pulsar X-ray filaments," or "misaligned outflows." These are linear, synchrotron radiating features powered by ultra-relativistic electrons and positrons that escape from bow shock pulsars. The filaments […]
Kavli Affiliate: Saul A. Rappaport | First 5 Authors: Veselin B. Kostov, Saul A. Rappaport, Tamas Borkovits, Brian P. Powell, Robert Gagliano | Summary: We have discovered a triply eclipsing triple-star system, TIC 290061484, with the shortest known outer period, Pout, of only 24.5 days. This "eclipses" the previous record set by lambda Tauri at […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Veselin B. Kostov, Saul A. Rappaport, Tamas Borkovits, Brian P. Powell, Robert Gagliano | Summary: We have discovered a triply eclipsing triple-star system, TIC 290061484, with the shortest known outer period, Pout, of only 24.5 days. This "eclipses" the previous record set by lambda Tauri at 33.02 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Yuguang Yang, Yu Pan, Jixun Yao, Xiang Zhang, Jianhao Ye | Summary: Expressive zero-shot voice conversion (VC) is a critical and challenging task that aims to transform the source timbre into an arbitrary unseen speaker while preserving the original content and expressive qualities. Despite recent progress in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Yuguang Yang, Yu Pan, Jixun Yao, Xiang Zhang, Jianhao Ye | Summary: Zero-shot voice conversion (VC) aims to transform the source speaker timbre into an arbitrary unseen one without altering the original speech content.While recent advancements in zero-shot VC methods have shown remarkable progress, there still remains […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Zhenxi Du, Saavidra Perera, Daniel Levinstein, Quinn Konopacky, Alex Madurowicz | Summary: The Earth’s atmosphere is comprised of turbulent layers that result in speckled and blurry images from ground-based visible and infrared observations. Adaptive Optics (AO) systems are employed to measure the perturbed wavefront with a wavefront […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Oluwashina Adegoke, Javier Garcia, Riley Connors, Yuanze Ding, Guglielmo Mastroserio | Summary: MAXI J1803-298 is a transient black hole candidate discovered in May of 2021 during an outburst that lasted several months. Multiple X-ray observations reveal recurring "dipping" intervals in several of its light curves, particularly during […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kerry J. Vahala | First 5 Authors: Haotian Cheng, Chao Xiang, Naijun Jin, Igor Kudelin, Joel Guo | Summary: Compact photonic systems that offer high frequency stability and low noise are of increasing importance to applications in precision metrology, quantum computing, communication, and advanced sensing technologies. However, on-chip resonators comprised of dielectrics cannot […]

Kavli Affiliate: Liam Paninski | Authors: Marcus A Triplett, Marta Gajowa, Benjamin Antin, Masato Sadahiro, Hillel Adesnik and Liam Paninski | Summary: Discovering how neural computations are implemented in the cortex at the level of monosynaptic connectivity requires probing for the existence of synapses from possibly thousands of presynaptic candidate neurons. Two-photon optogenetics has been […]
