Kavli Affiliate: John Silverman | First 5 Authors: Jenny Greene, Rachel Bezanson, Masami Ouchi, John Silverman, the PFS Galaxy Evolution Working Group | Summary: We present the Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) Galaxy Evolution pillar of the 360-night PFS Subaru Strategic Program. This 130-night program will capitalize on the wide wavelength coverage and massive multiplexing capabilities […]

Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Sebastian Baum, Michael A. Fedderke, Peter W. Graham, , | Summary: Dark compact objects ("clumps") transiting the Solar System exert accelerations on the test masses (TM) in a gravitational-wave (GW) detector. We reexamine the detectability of these clump transits in a variety of current and future […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Jonah C. Rose, Paul Torrey, Mark Vogelsberger, Stephanie O’Neil, | Summary: We present a new set of cosmological zoom-in simulations of a MW-like galaxy which for the first time include elastic velocity-dependent self interacting dark matter (SIDM) and IllustrisTNG physics. With these simulations we investigate the interaction […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hirosi Ooguri | First 5 Authors: Monica Jinwoo Kang, Jaeha Lee, Hirosi Ooguri, , | Summary: We consider a $d$-dimensional unitary conformal field theory with a compact Lie group global symmetry $G$ and show that, at high temperature $T$ and on a compact Cauchy surface, the probability of a randomly chosen state being […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Daisuke Toyouchi, Kohei Inayoshi, Wenxiu Li, Zoltán Haiman, Rolf Kuiper | Summary: Supermassive stars (SMSs) with masses of $M_ast simeq 10^4$–$10^5~{rm M_odot}$ are invoked as possible seeds of high-redshift supermassive black holes, but it remains under debate whether their protostar indeed acquires sufficient mass via gas accretion […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ann McDermott | Authors: Ann E McDermott and Gary Stanley Howarth II | Summary: The structure of the transmembrane domain of bacterial potassium channel KcsA has been extensively characterized, yet little information is available on the structure of its cytosolic N- and C-termini. This study presents high-resolution magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) and fractional […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roderick MacKinnon | Authors: Christoph A. Haselwandter, Roderick MacKinnon, Yusong Guo and Ziao Fu | Summary: Piezo proteins are mechanosensitive ion channels that can locally curve the membrane into a dome shape (Y. R. Guo, R. MacKinnon, 2017). The curved shape of the Piezo dome is expected to deform the surrounding lipid bilayer […]

Kavli Affiliate: John Reynolds | Authors: Jerome Mathieu, John Warren Reynolds, Carlos Fragoso and Elizabeth Hadly | Summary: Human activities cause major ecological changes by reshuffling the spatial distribution of species. The extent to which this process affects belowground biota is a critical issue because soil organisms play a key role in ecosystem functioning and […]
