Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Niccolò Di Lalla, Nicola Omodei, Niccolò Bucciantini, Jack T. Dinsmore, Nicolò Cibrario | 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 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peidong Yang | First 5 Authors: Hugo Laurell, Jonah R. Adelman, Elizaveta Yakovleva, Carl Hägglund, Kostiantyn Sopiha | 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 […]
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 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Isobel S. Lockley, David J. Armstrong, Jorge Fernández Fernández, Sarah Millholland, Henrik Knierim | Summary: We present the discovery of three sub-Neptune planets around TOI-1117, a Sun-like star with mass $0.97pm0.02M_{odot}$, radius $1.05pm0.03R_{odot}$, age $4.42pm1.50$ Gyr and effective temperature $5635pm62$ K. Light curves from TESS and LCOGT […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Joe Davighi, Serah Moldovsky, Hitoshi Murayama, Christiane Scherb, Nudzeim Selimovic | 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 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Johannes Lehmann | First 5 Authors: Christel Baier, Rio Klatt, Sascha Klüppelholz, 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 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Hao Jiang, Chuan Hu, Yukang Shi, Yuan He, Ke Wang | Summary: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) offer a promising approach to end-to-end autonomous driving due to their human-like reasoning capabilities. However, troublesome gaps remains between current VLMs and real-world autonomous driving applications. One major limitation is that existing […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kejia Lee | First 5 Authors: Siyuan Chen, Heng Xu, Yanjun Guo, Bojun Wang, R. Nicolas Caballero | Summary: The Chinese Pulsar Timing Array (CPTA) has collected observations from 57 millisecond pulsars using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) for close to three years, for the purpose of searching for gravitational waves […]
Kavli Affiliate: Giordano Scappucci | First 5 Authors: Davide Costa, Karina Hudson, Patrick Del Vecchio, Lucas E. A. Stehouwer, Alberto Tosato | Summary: Ge and Si strained quantum wells have enabled the most advanced spin-qubit quantum processors, but they are deposited on defective, metamorphic SiGe substrates, which may impact device performance and scaling. Here we […]
Kavli Affiliate: Moritz Guenther | First 5 Authors: Attila Varga, Joel H. Kastner, Alexander S. Binks, Hans Moritz Guenther, Simon J. Murphy | Summary: The mid-M star TOI~1227 hosts among the youngest known transiting exoplanets. We have conducted new X-ray imaging and optical spectroscopic observations of TOI 1227 aimed at ascertaining its age and the […]
