Co-evolution of Nuclear Star Clusters and Massive Black Holes: Extreme Mass-Ratio Inspirals

Kavli Affiliate: Pau Amaro Seoane | Summary:We explore extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) in the co-evolution of massive black holes (MBHs) and nuclear star clusters (NSCs), which host diverse stellar populations across a wide range of masses. The dynamics are simulated self-consistently with GNC, which we have updated to incorporate gravitational wave orbital decay, the loss […]

Rearing condition affects behavioral response to cross-modal expectancy violation paradigm in zebra finche

Kavli Affiliate: Sarah Woolley | Authors: Isabella Catalano and Sarah Cushing Woolley | Summary: Interacting in a multimodal world, including recognizing other individuals across multiple sensory modalities, is important for animals who rely on social relationships for survival. Social and sensory experiences shape how multisensory information is processed and integrated; however, we have less understanding […]

Astrocyte SEMA3C reduction improves Rett Syndrome phenotypes

Kavli Affiliate: Nicola Allen | Authors: Krissy A Lyon, Adrien Paumier, Ananya Kandikonda, Andrea Melendez and Nicola J Allen | Summary: During typical neurodevelopment, astrocytes secrete proteins that support neuronal connectivity. This process is disrupted in Rett Syndrome (RTT), a regressive neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by motor, sensory, and cognitive impairments. While astrocytes typically promote neuron […]

Supercurrent interference and its transfer in a kagome superconductor

Kavli Affiliate: Mazhar Ali | Summary: Superconductivity represents a macroscopic quantum state notable for its rich manifestations of electronic coherence and collective behavior. Kagome materials AV3Sb5 (A= K, Cs, Rb) possess cascade intertwined quantum phases including superconductivity, symmetry-breaking charge orders, nematic orders and topological states, making them attractive materials for exploring exotic superconducting states. However, […]

Environmental Regulation of Dust and Star Formation Unveiled by Subaru Dual Narrow-band Imaging: Degree-scale Balmer Decrement Mapping across a z = 0.9 Supercluster

Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi| First 5 Authors: Zhaoran Liu, Zhaoran Liu, , , | Summary:We present results from a dual narrow-band imaging survey targeting the CL1604 supercluster at z = 0.9 using the Subaru Telescope. By combining the NB921 filter on HSC and the NB1244 filter on SWIMS, we can detect redshifted H$α$ and H$β$ […]

JWST Catches a Strongly Gravitationally Lensed AGN In Transition from Type II to Type I

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Gladders | Summary:JWST has enabled the discovery of a statistical sample of obscured (type II) active galactic nuclei (AGN) at cosmic noon. Studies comparing those type II AGN with type I AGN at that epoch have reinforced the long-standing idea of an evolutionary link between those classes of objects. Mergers, the idea […]
