The TESS Ten Thousand Catalog: 10,001 uniformly-vetted and -validated Eclipsing Binary Stars detected in Full-Frame Image data by machine learning and analyzed by citizen scientists

Posted by klaurent June 5, 2025MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Saul Rappaport | Summary:The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has surveyed nearly the entire sky in Full-Frame Image mode with a time resolution of 200 seconds to 30 minutes and a temporal baseline of at least 27 days. In addition to the primary goal of discovering new exoplanets, TESS is exceptionally capable at […]

X-ray Polarization Detection of the Pulsar Wind Nebula in G21.5-0.9 with IXPE

Posted by klaurent June 5, 2025MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Herman Marshall | Summary:We present the X-ray polarization observation of G21.5-0.9, a young Galactic supernova remnant (SNR), conducted with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) in October 2023, with a total livetime of approximately 837 ks. Using different analysis methods, such as a space-integrated study of the entire region of the PWN and […]

Coherent phonon motions and ordered vacancy compound mediated quantum path interference in Cu-poor CuIn$_x$Ga$_(1-x)$Se$_2$ (CIGS) with attosecond transient absorption

Posted by klaurent June 5, 2025Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Peidong Yang | First 5 Authors: Hugo Laurell, Hugo Laurell, , , | Summary: In this study, coherent phonon motion is observed in bandgap excited CuIn$_x$Ga$_(1-x)$Se$_2$ (CIGS) utilizing extreme ultraviolet (XUV) attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy across the Se M$_4,5$ absorption edge. Two frequencies of coherent phonon motion are resolved, a low frequency mode […]

Fentanyl reinforcement history has sex-specific effects on multi-step decision-making

Posted by dbos June 5, 2025June 17, 2025Hopkins

Kavli Affiliate: Patricia Janak | Authors: Eric Garr, Yifeng Cheng, Andy Dong and Patricia H. Janak | Summary: It is commonly thought that drug addiction involves a transition to habitual control of action, where the choice to consume drugs becomes automatized and reflects a failure to deliberate over possible negative outcomes. Determining whether the pursuit […]

Topological Freeze-out by Semi-Annihilation

Posted by klaurent June 5, 2025Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | Summary:We point out that a QCD-like dark sector can be coupled to the Standard Model by gauging the topological Skyrme current, which measures the dark baryon number in the infrared, to give a technically natural model for dark matter. This coupling allows for a semi-annihilation process $χχrightarrow χX_μ$, where $X_μ$ […]

Backward Responsibility in Transition Systems Beyond Safety

Posted by klaurent June 5, 2025Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Johannes Lehmann | Summary:As the complexity of software systems rises, methods for explaining their behaviour are becoming ever-more important. When a system fails, it is critical to determine which of its components are responsible for this failure. Within the verification community, one approach uses graph games and Shapley values to ascribe a responsibility […]
