Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Shi Pi, Misao Sasaki, , , | Summary: In the curvaton scenario, the curvature perturbation is generated after inflation at the curvaton decay, which may have a prominent non-Gaussian effect. For a model with a non-trivial kinetic term, an enhanced curvature perturbation on a small scale can […]
Kavli Affiliate: Giorgio Gratta | First 5 Authors: Nadav Priel, Alexander Fieguth, Charles P. Blakemore, Emmett Hough, Akio Kawasaki | Summary: Optically levitated macroscopic objects are a powerful tool in the field of force sensing, owing to high sensitivity, absolute force calibration, environmental isolation and the advanced degree of control over their dynamics that have […]
Kavli Affiliate: James J. Bock | First 5 Authors: Kohji Takimoto, Toshiaki Arai, Shuji Matsuura, James J. Bock, Asantha Cooray | Summary: We report the first measurement of the zodiacal light (ZL) polarization spectrum in the near-infrared between 0.8 and 1.8 $mu$m. Using the low-resolution spectrometer (LRS) on board the Cosmic Infrared Background Experiment (CIBER), […]
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: Toshiyuki Kobayashi | First 5 Authors: Toshiyuki Kobayashi, , , , | Summary: How does an irreducible representation of a group behave when restricted to a subgroup? This is part of branching problems, which are one of the fundamental problems in representation theory, and also interact naturally with other fields of mathematics. This […]
Kavli Affiliate: Naoshi Sugiyama | First 5 Authors: Yoshiki Matsuoka, Kazushi Iwasawa, Masafusa Onoue, Takuma Izumi, Nobunari Kashikawa | Summary: We present the spectroscopic discovery of 69 quasars at 5.8 < z < 7.0, drawn from the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) Subaru Strategic Program (SSP) imaging survey data. This is the 16th publication from the Subaru […]
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 […]
