Kavli Affiliate: Lina Necib | First 5 Authors: Micah Oeur, Sarah R. Loebman, Adrian M. Price-Whelan, Arpit Arora, Lina Necib | Summary: Orbital Torus Imaging (OTI) is a dynamical inference method for determining the Milky Way’s gravitational potential using stellar survey data. OTI uses gradients in stellar astrophysical quantities, such as element abundances, as functions […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Zihao Wang, Xuejian Shen, Mark Vogelsberger, Hui Li, Rahul Kannan | Summary: Star formation in galaxies is inherently complex, involving the interplay of physical processes over a hierarchy of spatial scales. In this work, we investigate the connection between global (galaxy-scale) and local (cloud-scale) star formation efficiencies […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Kohei Inayoshi, Jinyi Shangguan, Xian Chen, Luis C. Ho, Zoltan Haiman | Summary: Little red dots (LRDs) are a newly identified class of broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGN) with a distinctive v-shape spectrum characterized by red optical and blue UV continuum emission. Their high abundance at redshifts […]
Kavli Affiliate: Carlos Bustamante | First 5 Authors: Martin Selin, Antonio Ciarlo, Giuseppe Pesce, Lars Bengtsson, Joan Camunas-Soler | Summary: There is a trend in research towards more automation using smart systems powered by artificial intelligence. While experiments are often challenging to automate, they can greatly benefit from automation by reducing labor and increasing reproducibility. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Hongyu Li, Jiyuan Zhang, Cheongho Han, Weicheng Zang, Youn Kil Jung | Summary: We present the discovery and analysis of the sixth microlensing two-planet system, KMT-2022-BLG-1818Lb,c, detected by a follow-up program targeting high-magnification events. Both planets are subject to the well-known ”Close/Wide” degeneracy, although for the first […]

Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Jie Cao, Chloe Qianhui Zhao, Xian Chen, Shuman Wang, Christian Schunn | Summary: Producing large volumes of high-quality, timely feedback poses significant challenges to instructors. To address this issue, automation technologies-particularly Large Language Models (LLMs)-show great potential. However, current LLM-based research still shows room for improvement in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anirvan Nandy | Authors: Olivia C Meisner, Weikang Shi, Amrita Nair, Gargi Nandy, Monika P Jadi, Anirvan S Nandy and Steve W. C. Chang | Summary: In humans, cooperation relies on advanced social cognition, but the extent to which these mechanisms support cooperation in nonhuman primates remains unclear. To investigate this, we examined […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Hrach Asmerian, Alexia J. Diaz, Hongfei Xu, Juan A Oses-Prieto, Jacob Alberts, Anna M. Sanetra, Barathan Gnanabharathi, Noah Carr, Alma L. Burlingame, Robert H. Edwards and Katlin Silm | Summary: Neuromodulators such as the monoamines are known to differ from classical neurotransmitters like glutamate in the time scale of […]
Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Yoshiki Matsuoka, Masafusa Onoue, Kazushi Iwasawa, Kentaro Aoki, Michael A. Strauss | Summary: The unprecedented sensitivity of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has uncovered a surprisingly abundant population of mildly obscured, low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the epoch of reionization (EoR). However, the link […]
