Kavli Affiliate: Deepto Chakrabarty | First 5 Authors: Bas Dorsman, Tuomo Salmi, Anna L. Watts, Mason Ng, Satish Kamath | Summary: Pulse profile modelling (PPM) is a technique for inferring mass, radius and hotspot properties of millisecond pulsars. PPM is now regularly used for analysis of rotation-powered millisecond pulsars (RMPs) with data from the Neutron […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Kohei Inayoshi, Roberto Maiolino, , , | Summary: The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has uncovered low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at high redshifts of $zgtrsim 4-7$, powered by accreting black holes (BHs) with masses of $sim 10^{6-8}~M_odot$. These AGN populations are considered crucial for understanding early […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Peter W. Graham, Harikrishnan Ramani, Samuel S. Y. Wong, , | Summary: While much supersymmetric WIMP parameter space has been ruled out, one remaining important candidate is Higgsino dark matter. The Higgsino can naturally realize the “inelastic dark matter" scenario, where the scattering off a nucleus […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shawn Ferguson | Authors: Amanda Bentley-DeSousa and Shawn Ferguson | Summary: Mutations that increase LRRK2 kinase activity have been linked to Parkinson’s disease and Crohn’s disease. LRRK2 is also activated by lysosome damage evoked by chemical and pathogenic stimuli. However, the endogenous cellular mechanisms that control LRRK2 kinase activity are not well understood. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew M. Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Lizhou Sha, Andrew M. Vanderburg, Luke G. Bouma, Chelsea X. Huang, | Summary: Blanco 1 is an $approx 130,mathrm{Myr}$ open cluster located 240 pc from the Sun below the Galactic plane. Recent studies have reported the existence of diffuse tidal tails extending 50-60 pc from the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Wen Liu, Wen-Hao Bian, Xiao-Zhuo Chu, Jing Wang, | Summary: Employing the renormalization group approach, we carefully investigate the critical behavior of two-dimensional tilted semi-Dirac semimetals induced by the fermion-fermion interactions in the low-energy regime. After incorporating all one-loop corrections, we derive the coupled RG equations of […]
Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Masafusa Onoue, Xuheng Ding, John D. Silverman, Yoshiki Matsuoka, Takuma Izumi | Summary: Understanding the rapid formation of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the early universe requires an understanding of how stellar mass grows in the host galaxies. Here, we perform an analysis of rest-frame optical […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Manfred Klaffenboeck, Michael Gleicher, Johannes Sorger, Michael Wimmer, Torsten Möller | Summary: Visual Parameter Space Analysis (VPSA) enables domain scientists to explore input-output relationships of computational models. Existing VPSA applications often feature multi-view visualizations designed by visualization experts for a specific scenario, making it hard for domain […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Erica Thygesen, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Zoë L. De Beurs, Andrew Vanderburg, John H. Livingston | Summary: K2-2 b/HIP 116454 b, the first exoplanet discovery by K2 during its Two-Wheeled Concept Engineering Test, is a sub-Neptune (2.5 $pm$ 0.1 $R_oplus$, 9.7 $pm$ 1.2 $M_oplus$) orbiting a relatively bright […]
