High dimensional alpha test for linear factor pricing model with $L_q$-norm

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Long| Summary: We consider testing zero pricing errors in high-dimensional linear factor pricing models. Existing methods are mainly based on either an $L_2$ statistic, which is effective under dense alternatives, or an $L_infty$ statistic, which is powerful under very sparse alternatives. To bridge these two regimes, we develop a class of $L_q$-based […]

Direct N-body simulations of rotating and extremely massive Population III star clusters

Kavli Affiliate: Rainer Spurzem | Summary:Aims. We present eight direct N-body simulations with NBODY6++GPU of extremely massive, initially rotating Population III star clusters with 1.01 x 10^5 stars. Methods. Our models include primordial binaries, a continuous initial mass function, differential rotation, tidal mass loss, updated fitting formulae for extremely massive metal-poor Population III stars, and […]

Constraints on the host galaxy and AGN properties of three z > 6 JWST AGN from NOEMA observations

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | Summary:We targeted with deep NOEMA observations the [CII]158$μ$m emission of three JWST-discovered AGN at z>6. Two of them have the typical features of Little Red Dots (LRDs), while the third one is a blue, extended, Type I AGN. We do not significantly detect [CII] emission or dust continuum in any […]

Inhibitory-modulatory coupling generates persistent activity during working memory

Endothelial type I interferon signaling modulates the vascular response to ischemic brain injury Kavli Affiliate: Dhruv Grover | Authors: Marissa L Heintschel, Jingyue Xu and Dhruv Grover | Summary: Working memory requires the stable maintenance of neural representations across temporal gaps, yet the circuit mechanisms that generate and stabilize persistent activity remain unsolved. Prevailing models […]

Epigenomic methylome landscape of promoters in vertebrate genomes

Endothelial type I interferon signaling modulates the vascular response to ischemic brain injury Kavli Affiliate: Erich Jarvis | Authors: Young Ho Lee, Chul Lee, Erich Jarvis and Heebal Kim | Summary: Genomic promoters are crucial gene regulatory elements1,2. Yet, comparative analyses of promoter architecture have been constrained by the limited resolution of GC-rich regions in […]

Formation and disruption of wide binaries in star clusters revealed by N-body simulations

Kavli Affiliate: Rainer Spurzem | Summary:Wide (soft) binaries are expected to be rapidly disrupted in dense stellar environments, yet they are observed in both the Galactic field and open clusters (OCs). In this paper, we investigate the formation and disruption of wide binaries in star clusters using direct N-body simulations. We perform simulations containing 10,000 […]

Estimation and mitigation of foregrounds in projected kSZ velocity reconstruction

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | Summary:The kSZ effect has recently emerged as a powerful probe for precision cosmology through its ability to reconstruct the large-scale velocity field. In particular, the kSZ-reconstructed velocity-galaxy cross-correlation is sensitive to signatures of primordial non-Gaussianity through its imprint on the galaxy bias. The kSZ velocity reconstruction is performed using small-scale […]
