An iterative CMB lensing estimator minimizing instrumental noise bias

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | First 5 Authors: Louis Legrand, Louis Legrand, , , | Summary: Noise maps from CMB experiments are generally statistically anisotropic, due to scanning strategies, atmospheric conditions, or instrumental effects. Any mis-modeling of this complex noise can bias the reconstruction of the lensing potential and the measurement of the lensing power […]

Interpretable abstractions of artificial neural networks predict behavior and neural activity during human information gathering

Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Simone D’Ambrogio, Jan Grohn, Nima Khalighinejad, Marcelo Mattar, Laurence T Hunt and Matthew F Rushworth | Summary: It has been suggested that humans and other animals are driven by a fundamental desire to acquire information about opportunities available in their environments. Not only might such a desire explain pathological […]

Giant Outer Transiting Exoplanet Mass (GOT ‘EM) Survey. VI: Confirmation of a Long-Period Giant Planet Discovered with a Single TESS Transit

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: We report the discovery and confirmation of TOI-4465 b, a $1.25^+0.08_-0.07~R_J$, $5.89pm0.26~M_J$ giant planet orbiting a G dwarf star at $dsimeq$ 122 pc. The planet was detected as a single-transit event in data from Sector 40 of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey […]

Hundreds of TESS exoplanets might be larger than we thought

Kavli Affiliate: George Ricker | First 5 Authors: Te Han, Te Han, , , | Summary: The radius of a planet is a fundamental parameter that probes its composition and habitability. Precise radius measurements are typically derived from the fraction of starlight blocked when a planet transits its host star. The wide-field Transiting Exoplanet Survey […]

First High-Throughput Evaluation of Dark Matter Detector Materials

Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Sinéad M. Griffin, Sinéad M. Griffin, , , | Summary: We perform the first high-throughput search and evaluation of materials that can serve as excellent low-mass dark matter detectors. Using properties of close to one thousand materials from the Materials Project database, we project the sensitivity […]
