Robust Field-level Likelihood-free Inference with Galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Natalí S. M. de Santi, Helen Shao, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, L. Raul Abramo, Romain Teyssier | Summary: We train graph neural networks to perform field-level likelihood-free inference using galaxy catalogs from state-of-the-art hydrodynamic simulations of the CAMELS project. Our models are rotational, translational, and permutation invariant and do […]

Quantum $z=2$ Lifshitz criticality in one-dimensional interacting fermions

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, , , , | Summary: We consider Lifshitz criticality (LC) with the dynamical critical exponent $z=2$ in one-dimensional interacting fermions with a filled Dirac Sea. We report that interactions have crucial effects on Lifshitz criticality. Single particle excitations are destabilized by interaction and decay into […]

A frontosensory circuit for visual context processing is synchronous in the theta/alpha band

Kavli Affiliate: Darcy Peterka | Authors: Georgia Bastos, Jacob T Holmes, Jordan M Ross, Anna M Rader, Connor G Gallimore, Darcy S Peterka and Jordan P Hamm | Summary: Visual processing is strongly influenced by context. Stimuli that deviate from contextual regularities elicit augmented responses in primary visual cortex (V1). These heightened responses, known as […]

Unusual Hard X-ray Flares Caught in NICER Monitoring of the Binary Supermassive Black Hole Candidate AT2019cuk/Tick Tock/SDSS J1430+2303

Kavli Affiliate: Ronald A. Remillard | First 5 Authors: Megan Masterson, Erin Kara, Dheeraj R. Pasham, Daniel J. D’Orazio, Dominic J. Walton | Summary: The nuclear transient AT2019cuk/Tick Tock/SDSS J1430+2303 has been suggested to harbor a supermassive black hole (SMBH) binary near coalescence. We report results from high-cadence NICER X-ray monitoring with multiple visits per […]

Wet Compaction to a Blue Nugget: a Critical Phase in Galaxy Evolution

Sharon Lapiner, Avishai Dekel, Jonathan Freundlich, Omri Ginzburg, Fangzhou Jiang | Summary: [[{“value”:”We utilize high-resolution cosmological simulations to reveal that high-redshift galaxies tend to undergo a robust `wet compaction’ event when near a `golden’ stellar mass of $sim 10^{10} M_{odot}$. This is a gaseous shrinkage to a compact star-forming phase, a `blue nugget’ (BN), followed […]

Neuronal Transcriptome Disruption, Tau Accumulation and Synapse Loss in Alzheimer’s Knock-in Mice Require Cellular Prion Protein

Kavli Affiliate: Stephen Strittmatter | Authors: Austin Stoner, Li Fu, LaShae Nicholson, Chao Zheng, Takuya Toyonaga, Joshua Spurrier, Will Laird, Zhengxin Cai and Stephen M. Strittmatter | Summary: Background Cellular prion protein (PrPC) is a high-affinity cell-surface receptor for Amyloid-β oligomers (Aßo). In certain overexpression models of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), pharmacology and genetics demonstrate its […]
