Dynamical evolution of massless particles in star clusters with NBODY6++GPU-MASSLESS: II. The long-term evolution of free-floating comets

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Rainer Spurzem | Summary:Context. Comets, asteroids, planetesimals, free-floating planets and brown dwarfs, are continuously injected into the intra-cluster environment after expulsion from their host planetary systems or binary system. The dynamics of large populations of such free-floating comets (ffcs) in a star cluster environment is not yet fully understood. Aims. We investigate the […]

Words to Describe What I’m Feeling: Exploring the Potential of AI Agents for High Subjectivity Decisions in Advance Care Planning

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Hsiao-Mei (Sherry) Cho| First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1, [#item_custom_name[2, [#item_custom_name[3, [#item_custom_name[4, [#item_custom_name[5| Summary:Loss of decisional capacity, coupled with the increasing absence of reliable human proxies, raises urgent questions about how individuals’ values can be represented in Advance Care Planning (ACP). To probe this fraught design space of high-risk, high-subjectivity decision support, we built an […]

Lysosomal swelling triggers LRRK2 activity

Posted by dbos Yale

Kavli Affiliate: Shawn Fergusons | Authors: Tuyana Malankhanova, Zhiyong Liu, Samuel Strader, Weiping Wang, Ki Woon Sung, Zhong Li, Shawn M Ferguson and Andrew B West | Summary: LRRK2 is implicated in lysosomal functions, but the physiological upstream cues that engage endogenous LRRK2 activity are incompletely defined. Here we show that lysosomal swelling serves as […]

Drosophila maintain a consistent navigational goal angle for days to weeks

Posted by dbos Rockefeller

Kavli Affiliate: Gaby Maimon | Authors: Jazz L Weisman, Thomas L Mohren, James D Ryu, Maya Z Wyse, Eduardo Dias-Ferreira and Gaby Maimon | Summary: Past work has demonstrated that Drosophila can keep to a consistent navigational bearing for minutes to hours. Here, we ask whether they can do so over days to weeks. First, […]

Continuous Family of Conformal Field Theories and Exactly Marginal Operators

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Hirosi Ooguri | Summary:Does a conformal manifold imply the existence of exactly marginal operators? We answer this question affirmatively under the assumption that there exists a conformal interface with certain properties connecting nearby CFTs. We show that the exactly marginal operator that connects the CFTs can be reconstructed from the interface displacement operator. […]

Intermediate Mass Black Hole Binary Evolution in Nuclear Star Clusters: the effect of the stellar mass black hole population

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Rainer Spurzem | Summary:In this study, we investigate the dynamics of Intermediate-Mass Black Hole (IMBH) binaries within Nuclear Star Clusters (NSCs) that contain a population of stellar-mass black holes (BHs). We examine how these stellar and BH populations influence the dynamics of the IMBH binary and, in turn, how the evolving IMBH binary […]

DuetSVG: Unified Multimodal SVG Generation with Internal Visual Guidance

Posted by klaurent UCSB

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | Summary:Recent vision-language model (VLM)-based approaches have achieved impressive results on SVG generation. However, because they generate only text and lack visual signals during decoding, they often struggle with complex semantics and fail to produce visually appealing or geometrically coherent SVGs. We introduce DuetSVG, a unified multimodal model that jointly generates […]

Tracking Protostellar Variability in Massive Protoclusters with ALMA: I. Insights from QUARKS and MaMMOtH

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory Herczeg | Summary:Millimeter/submillimeter variability is often attributed to dynamical disk-mediated accretion, yet detection is limited to low-mass protostars in nearby clouds. Recent observations have also revealed significant (sub)millimeter variability in high-mass protostars, but the confirmed cases are scarce and lack systematic monitoring. In this work, we analyzed multi-epoch Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array […]
