A transiting giant planet in orbit around a 0.2-solar-mass host star

Kavli Affiliate: Alan M. Levine | First 5 Authors: Edward M. Bryant, Andrés Jordán, Joel D. Hartman, Daniel Bayliss, Elyar Sedaghati | Summary: Planet formation models suggest that the formation of giant planets is significantly harder around low-mass stars, due to the scaling of protoplanetary disc masses with stellar mass. The discovery of giant planets […]

JIP4 deficiency causes a novel lysosome storage disease arising from impaired cystine efflux

Kavli Affiliate: Shawn Ferguson | Authors: Layla M Nassar, xiaojian Shi, Agnes Roczniak-Ferguson, Hongying Shen and Shawn M Ferguson | Summary: Lysosomes break down macromolecules, clear cellular waste and recycle nutrients such as cystine. We describe a novel mechanism whereby JIP4 regulates lysosomal cystine storage by controlling the abundance of cystinosin (CTNS), the transporter responsible […]

Torsion Balance Experiments Enable Direct Detection of Sub-eV Dark Matter

Kavli Affiliate: Shigeki Matsumoto | First 5 Authors: Shigeki Matsumoto, Jie Sheng, Chuan-Yang Xing, Lin Zhu, | Summary: Light dark matter with sub-eV masses has a high number density in our galaxy, and its scattering cross section with macroscopic objects can be significantly enhanced by coherence effects. Repeated scattering with a target object can induce […]

Indirect Detection of Dark Matter Around a Supermassive Black Hole with High Energy-Resolution Gamma-Ray Telescopes

Kavli Affiliate: Shigeki Matsumoto | First 5 Authors: Yu Watanabe, Alexander Kusenko, Shigeki Matsumoto, , | Summary: We explore whether the unprecedented energy resolution of upcoming gamma-ray telescopes can uncover relativistic effects in photon spectra resulting from dark matter (DM) annihilation or decay near the supermassive black hole (SMBH) at the Galactic Center (GC), specifically, […]

Exact linear theory of perturbation response in a space- and feature-dependent cortical circuit model

Kavli Affiliate: Kenneth Miller | Authors: Ho Yin Chau, Kenneth D Miller and Agostina Palmigiano | Summary: What are the principles that govern the responses of cortical networks to their inputs and the emergence of these responses from recurrent connectivity? Recent experiments have probed these questions by measuring cortical responses to two-photon optogenetic perturbations of […]

Cryogenic systems for the TUCAN EDM experiment

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Jeffery W. Martin, B. Algohi, D. Anthony, L. Barrón-Palos, M. Bradley | Summary: The TUCAN (TRIUMF UltraCold Advanced Neutron) Collaboration is completing a new ultracold neutron (UCN) source. The UCN source will deliver UCNs to a neutron electric dipole moment (EDM) experiment. The EDM experiment is projected […]
