Episodic memory facilitates flexible decision making via access to detailed events

Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Jonathan Nicholas and Marcelo G Mattar | Summary: Our experiences contain countless details that may be important in the future, yet we rarely know which will matter and which won’t. This uncertainty poses a difficult challenge for adaptive decision making, as failing to preserve relevant information can prevent us […]

Loopless multiterminal quantum circuits at odd parity

Kavli Affiliate: Anton Akhmerov | Summary:We theoretically investigate loopless multiterminal hybrid superconducting devices at odd fermion parity with time-reversal symmetry. We find that the energy-phase relationship has a double minimum corresponding to opposite windings of the superconducting phases. Spin-orbit coupling adds multi-axial spin splittings, which contrasts with two-terminal devices where spin dependence is uniaxial. Capacitive […]

Locating the missing large-scale emission in the jet of M87* with short EHT baselines

Kavli Affiliate: Luis Ho | Summary:In Very-Long Baseline Interferometric arrays, nearly co-located stations probe the largest scales and typically cannot resolve the observed source. In the absence of large-scale structure, closure phases constructed with these stations are zero and, since they are independent of station-based errors, they can be used to probe data issues. Here, […]

The Occurrence Rate of Nearby Planetary Companions to Hot Jupiters

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | Summary:Of the > 500 confirmed transiting hot jupiters and approximately 2000 additional candidates today, only ten are known to have nearby companion planets. The survival of nearby companions means that these hot jupiters cannot have migrated to their present location via dynamically disruptive high-eccentricity migration but instead have undergone disk […]

Multilayer Q-BIC-like Optical Filters with High Throughput Direct-Write Multilayer Lithography

Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Faroan | Summary:Multilayer metasurfaces provide substantially greater spectral design freedom than single-layer devices, yet their implementation in the visible and near-infrared remains limited by the complexity, cost, and low throughput of conventional nanofabrication. Here, we establish a recently proposed direct-write electron-beam lithography approach as a high-throughput fabrication platform for multilayer resonant metasurfaces, […]

The long-term evolution of Ultra Faint Dwarf Galaxies and observational implications

Kavli Affiliate: Rainer Spurzem | Summary:Context. In the Local Group, dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) and ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs) exhibit large velocity dispersions. These values are generally attributed to the presence of substantial amounts of dark matter (DM), in line with the predictions of the standard model of galaxy formation. However, alternative, more conservative explanations […]

Joint analysis of small-scale galaxy clustering and galaxy–galaxy lensing from BOSS galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Risa Wechsler | Summary:We present a joint analysis of galaxy clustering and galaxy–galaxy lensing measurements from BOSS galaxies using a simulation-based emulation method combined with a halo occupation distribution model. Our emulators are constructed with the Aemulus $ν$ simulations, a suite of $wν$CDM $N$-body simulations with massive neutrinos as independent particle species. We […]
