The Polar Orbit of TOI-2374 b, a Planet in the Neptunian Ridge

Kavli Affiliate: David Charbonneau | Summary:The “Neptunian ridge” is a recently identified peak in the frequency of planets with sizes between that of Neptune and Saturn orbiting their host stars with periods between 3 and 6 days (A. Castro-González et al. 2024). These planets may have formed similarly to their larger, hot Jupiter counterparts in […]

CORB-Planner: Corridor as Observations for RL Planning in High-Speed Flight

Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Yechen Zhang, Yechen Zhang, , , | Summary: Reinforcement learning (RL) has shown promise in a large number of robotic control tasks. Nevertheless, its deployment on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) remains challenging, mainly because of reliance on accurate dynamic models and platform-specific sensing, which hinders cross-platform transfer. […]

Probing small-scale dark matter clumping with the large-scale 21-cm power spectrum

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | Summary:The 21-cm line of hydrogen is the most promising probe of the Dark Ages and Cosmic Dawn. We combine hydrodynamical simulations with a large-scale grid in order to calculate the effect of non-linear structure formation on the large-scale 21-cm power spectrum, focusing on redshifts $z=20-40$. As the clumping effect arises […]

The Signature of Sub-galactic Dark Matter Clumping in the Global 21-cm Signal of Hydrogen

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | Summary:It is thought that the Universe went through an early period known as the Dark Ages, during which primeval density fluctuations grew to form the first luminous objects, marking the beginning of Cosmic Dawn around 100 million years after the Big Bang. The 21-cm line of hydrogen atoms is the […]

Amorphization-Mediated Si-I to Si-V Phase Transition and Reversible Amorphous-Si-V Phase Memory in Silicon Nanoparticles

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao| Summary:An experiment has shown that ~10 nm Si nanoparticles undergo a Si-I (diamond cubic) to Si-V (simple hexagonal) phase transition under compression, in contrast to the Si-I to Si-II (tetragonal) transition observed in bulk silicon. However, the atomistic mechanism underlying this size-dependent transition pathway remains unclear. Here, we employ molecular dynamics […]

Mitigating Random-Phase Sampling Noise in the Cepheid Period-Luminosity Relation: A Cross-Filter Consistency Approach

Kavli Affiliate: Wendy Freedman | Summary:The Period-Luminosity (PL) relation is usually derived using time-averaged magnitudes, which require multiple-epoch observations to determine periods and adequately sample the light curves. Although single-epoch observations are more practical and require significantly less observational effort, they inherently introduce greater photometric scatter, leading to an increased dispersion in the derived Period-Luminosity […]
