Kavli Affiliate: David A. Weitz | First 5 Authors: Ella M. King, Zizhao Wang, David A. Weitz, Frans Spaepen, Michael P. Brenner | Summary: Despite significant advances in particle imaging technologies over the past two decades, few advances have been made in particle tracking, i.e. linking individual particle positions across time series data. The state-of-the-art […]
Kavli Affiliate: Igor V. Moskalenko | First 5 Authors: Troy A. Porter, Gudlaugur Johannesson, Igor V. Moskalenko, , | Summary: The past decade has brought impressive advances in the astrophysics of cosmic rays (CRs) and multiwavelength astronomy, thanks to the new instrumentation launched into space and built on the ground. Modern technologies employed by those […]
Kavli Affiliate: Rainer Weiss | First 5 Authors: D. H. Shoemaker, Stefan Ballmer, Matteo Barsuglia, E. Berger, Emanuele Berti | Summary: The workshop Dawn VI: Next Generation Observatories took place online over three days, 5-7 October, 2021. More than 200 physicists and astronomers attended to contribute to, and learn from, a discussion of next-generation ground-based […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kevin Parker | First 5 Authors: Henry M. Clever, Ankur Handa, Hammad Mazhar, Kevin Parker, Omer Shapira | Summary: Sharing autonomy between robots and human operators could facilitate data collection of robotic task demonstrations to continuously improve learned models. Yet, the means to communicate intent and reason about the future are disparate between […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger D. Blandford | First 5 Authors: Elena M. Murchikova, Tianshu Wang, Brian Mason, Roger D. Blandford, | Summary: Murchikova et al 2019 discovered a disk of cool ionized gas within 20,000 Schwarzschild radii of the Milky Way’s Galactic Center black hole Sagittarius A*. They further demonstrated that the ionizing photon flux in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Cees Dekker | First 5 Authors: Laeschkir Würthner, Fridtjof Brauns, Grzegorz Pawlik, Jacob Halatek, Jacob Kerssemakers | Summary: Self-organized pattern formation is vital for many biological processes. Reaction-diffusion models have advanced our understanding of how biological systems develop spatial structures, starting from homogeneity. However, biological processes inherently involve multiple spatial and temporal scales […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paul L. Schechter | First 5 Authors: Graham P. Smith, Timo Anguita, Simon Birrer, Paul L. Schechter, Aprajita Verma | Summary: We present the Strong Lensing Science Collaboration’s (SLSC) recommended observing targets for the science verification and science validation phases of commissioning. Our recommendations have been developed in collaboration with the Dark Energy […]
