Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | Summary:The extent of envelope stripping in the progenitor stars is directly reflected in the diversity of spectral features observed in stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe). Through extensive spectral observation and analysis, we aim to clarify the statistical differences between the subclasses of SESNe. The Tsinghua Supernova group obtained 249 optical spectra of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | Summary:To investigate gauge theories with near-term quantum computers warrants exploration of nontraditional quantum simulators to find resource-efficient simulation protocols and ultimately access exotic features of different field theories, including unexplored regimes of the QCD phase diagram. In this work, using superconducting transmon qutrit processors, we formulate and implement a pulse-based, […]
Kavli Affiliate: James Bock | Summary:We present some of the first infrared spectral maps acquired by SPHEREx. These maps, which to our knowledge are the largest of their type ever compiled in the near-infrared, reveal multiple strong lines due to interstellar ices and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) throughout the Cygnus X and North American Nebula […]

Kavli Affiliate: Khee-Gan Lee | Summary:Precise halo mass ($M_h$) measurements are crucial for cosmology and galaxy formation. HaloFlow introduced a simulation-based inference (SBI) framework that uses state-of-the-art simulated galaxy images to precisely infer $M_h$. However, for HaloFlow to be applied to observations, it must be generalizable even when the underlying galaxy formation physics differ from […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | Summary:We present the first results from the SMUGGLE-Ring project, a suite of simulations employing the SMUGGLE ISM and stellar feedback model to explore nuclear structures in Milky Way-mass galaxies. We discuss results from three simulations evolved for 5 Gyr in isolation, in which we vary the classical bulge mass, while […]

Kavli Affiliate: Cynthia F. Moss and Kathleen Cullen | Authors: Hui Ho Vanessa Chang, Grace Capshaw, Dimitri Skandalis, Cynthia F Moss and Kathleen E Cullen | Summary: Eye movements enable visual information gathering and stabilize gaze via optokinetic (OKR) and vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) pathways.1 Echolocating bats, despite their rapid and agile flight maneuvers to land […]
Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | Summary:We present the first spatially resolved kinematic evidence for dust in the outflows of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). We utilise observations from JWST with NIRSpec IFU and MIRI MRS data of 10 local Seyferts and use Principal Component Analysis (PCA) tomography to extract the kinematics of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) […]
