Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Tibor Dome, Anastasia Fialkov, Nina Sartorio, Philip Mocz, | Summary: On large cosmological scales, anisotropic gravitational collapse is manifest in the dark cosmic web. Its statistical properties are little known for alternative dark matter models such as fuzzy dark matter (FDM). In this work, we assess for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ronald A. Remillard | First 5 Authors: Erin Barillier, Victoria Grinberg, David Horn, Michael A. Nowak, Ronald A. Remillard | Summary: 4U 1957+11 is a black hole candidate system that has been in a soft X-ray spectral state since its discovery. We present analyses of recent joint NICER and NuSTAR spectra, which are […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kenneth Miller | Authors: Agostina Palmigiano, Francesco Fumarola, Daniel P. Mossing, Nataliya Kraynyukova, Hillel Adesnik and Kenneth Miller | Summary: The visual cortex receives non-sensory inputs containing behavioral and brain state information. Here we propose a parallel between optogenetic and behavioral modulations of activity and characterize their impact on cell-type-specific V1 processing under […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger Blandford | First 5 Authors: Payel Mukhopadhyay, Enrico Peretti, Noemie Globus, Paul Simeon, Roger Blandford | Summary: The origin of cosmic rays above the knee in the spectrum is an unsolved problem. We present a wind model in which interstellar gas flows along a non-rotating, expanding flux tube with a changing speed […]

Kavli Affiliate: Harry A. Atwater | First 5 Authors: Ramon Gao, Michael D. Kelzenberg, Harry A. Atwater, , | Summary: Lightsail spacecraft, propelled to relativistic velocities via photon pressure using high power density laser radiation, offer a potentially new route to space exploration within and beyond the solar system, extending to interstellar distances. Such missions […]
Kavli Affiliate: Patrick Kanold | Authors: Dan Luo, Ji Liu, Ryszard Auksztulewicz, Tony Ka Wing Yip, Patrick O. Kanold and Jan W. Schnupp | Summary: Detecting patterns, and noticing unexpected pattern changes, in the environment is a vital aspect of sensory processing. Adaptation and prediction error responses are two components of neural processing related to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Saul Kato | Authors: Morgan M Stanton, Sara Modan, Patrick M Taylor, Harsh N Hariani, Jordan Sorokin, Brian G Rash, Sneha B Rao, Alejandro Lopez-Tobon, Luigi Enriquez, Brenda Dang, Dorah Owango, Shannon O’Neill, Carlos Castrillo, Justin Nicola, Kathy Ye, Robert M Blattner, Federico Gonzalez, Dexter Antonio, Pavan Ramkumar, Andy Lash, Douglas Flanzer, Sophia […]
Kavli Affiliate: Steven Siegelbaum | Authors: Christos Panagiotis Lisgaras, Azahara Oliva, Sam Mckenzie, John LaFrancois, Steven A. Siegelbaum and Helen E. Scharman | Summary: Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is characterized by spontaneous recurrent seizures, abnormal activity between seizures, and impaired behavior. CA2 pyramidal neurons (PNs) are potentially important because inhibiting them with a chemogenetic approach […]
Philip F. Hopkins, Alexander B. Gurvich, Xuejian Shen, Zachary Hafen, Michael Y. Grudic | Summary: [[{“value”:”As they grow, galaxies can transition from irregular/spheroidal with ‘bursty’ star formation histories (SFHs), to disky with smooth SFHs. But even in simulations, the direct physical cause of such transitions remains unclear. We therefore explore this in a large suite […]
