Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Rayna Rampalli, Melissa K. Ness, Elisabeth R. Newton, Andrew Vanderburg, Tobias Buck | Summary: We explore how the correlation between host star metallicity and giant planets shapes hot Jupiter occurrence as a function of Galactic birth radius (rbirth) and phase-space density in the Milky Way disk. Using […]
Kavli Affiliate: Timothy A. Ryan | Authors: Zhanat Koshenov, Alexandros C. Kokotos, Lorena Benedetti, Jennifer Lippincott Schwartz and Timothy A. Ryan | Summary: The brain is a disproportionately large consumer of fuel, estimated to expend ∼20% of the whole-body energy budget, and therefore it is critical to adequately control brain fuel expenditures while satisfying its […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Alice M. Luna, Alexander P. Ji, Anirudh Chiti, Joshua D. Simon, Daniel D. Kelson | Summary: Star formation in ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs, $M_* <10^5M_odot$) is suppressed by reionization, but may not be completely quenched. The metallicity distribution function (MDF) of stars in ultra-faint dwarf galaxies could […]
Kavli Affiliate: Igor V. Moskalenko | First 5 Authors: Tsunefumi Mizuno, Katsuhiro Hayashi, Hinako Ochi, Igor V. Moskalenko, Elena Orlando | Summary: To investigate the interstellar medium (ISM) and Galactic cosmic rays (CRs) in the solar neighborhood, we analyzed ${gamma}$-ray data by Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) for five nearby molecular cloud regions. Our data […]
