Distinct spatial and non-spatial response properties of excitatory narrow-spike and burst-firing neurons in the marmoset auditory cortex

Posted by dbos Hopkins

Kavli Affiliate: Xiaoqin Wan | Authors: Chenggang Chen, Evan D Remington and Xiaoqin Wang | Summary: Cell types are the basic units of the cerebral cortex. Broad and narrow spike waveforms (BW and NW) are the primary criteria for classifying putative excitatory and inhibitory cortical neurons, particularly in non-human primates where genetic accessibility is limited. […]

Measurement prospects for the pair-instability mass cutoff with gravitational waves

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | Summary:Pair-instability supernovae leave behind no compact remnants, resulting in a predicted gap in the distribution of stellar black-hole masses. Gravitational waves from binary black-hole mergers probe the relevant mass range and analyses of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA catalog (GWTC-4) indicate a possible mass cutoff at $40$-$50,M_odot$. However, the robustness of this result […]

Gas-depleted planet formation occurred in the four-planet system around the red dwarf LHS 1903

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | Summary:Small exoplanet radii show two populations, referred to as super-Earths and sub-Neptunes, separated by a gap known as the radius valley. This may be produced by the removal of atmospheres due to stellar or internal heating, or lack of an initial envelope. We us transit photometry and radial velocity measurements […]

An Enhanced Formation Channel for Galactic Dual-Line Gravitational-Wave Sources: von Zeipel-Lidov-Kozai Effect in Triples Involving Sgr A*

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | Summary:The dense Galactic Center environment is expected to host compact binary inspirals detectable by future space-borne gravitational wave (GW) observatories (e.g., LISA, TianQin, Taiji) in the millihertz band. Aided by information from these facilities, next-generation ground-based GW detectors (e.g., Cosmic Explorer, Einstein Telescope) can potentially capture gravitational radiation in the […]
