A quick and cost-effective method for DNA-free total RNA isolation using magnetic silica beads

Kavli Affiliate: Aniruddha Das | Authors: Aniruddha Das, Debojyoti Das, Arundhati Das and Amaresh Chandra Panda | Summary: Current RNA purification methods widely use silica-based columns that allow quick isolation of high-quality and good quantities of RNA. However, the major limitations include high cost, the requirement of different kits for small RNA isolation, genomic DNA […]

Validating AU Microscopii d with Transit Timing Variations

Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Justin M. Wittrock, Peter Plavchan, Bryson L. Cale, Thomas Barclay, Mathis R. Ludwig | Summary: AU Mic is a young (22 Myr) nearby exoplanetary system that exhibits excess TTVs that cannot be accounted for by the two known transiting planets nor stellar activity. We present the statistical […]

Timing coincidence search for supernova neutrinos with optical transient surveys

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Sean Heston, Emily Kehoe, Yudai Suwa, Shunsaku Horiuchi, | Summary: Neutrinos allow the probing of stellar interiors during core collapse, helping to understand the different stages and processes in the collapse. To date, supernova neutrinos have only been detected from a single event, SN1987A. Most studies from […]

Searching for Gravitational-Wave Counterparts using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Geoffrey Mo, Rahul Jayaraman, Michael Fausnaugh, Erik Katsavounidis, George R. Ricker | Summary: In 2017, the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave (GW) detectors, in conjunction with electromagnetic (EM) astronomers, observed the first GW multi-messenger astrophysical event, the binary neutron star (BNS) merger GW170817. This marked the beginning […]

GA-NIFS: Black hole and host galaxy properties of two z$simeq$6.8 quasars from the NIRSpec IFU

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Madeline A. Marshall, Michele Perna, Chris J. Willott, Roberto Maiolino, Jan Scholtz | Summary: Integral Field Spectroscopy (IFS) with JWST NIRSpec will significantly improve our understanding of the first quasars, by providing spatially resolved, infrared spectroscopic capabilities which cover key rest-frame optical emission lines that have been […]

Reconstruction of a surface from the category of reflexive sheaves

Kavli Affiliate: Alexey Bondal | First 5 Authors: Agnieszka Bodzenta, Alexey Bondal, , , | Summary: We define a normal surface $X$ to be codim-2-saturated if any open embedding of $X$ into a normal surface with the complement of codimension 2 is an isomorphism. We show that any normal surface $X$ allows a codim-2-saturated model […]

JADES: Probing interstellar medium conditions at $zsim5.5-9.5$ with ultra-deep JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Alex J. Cameron, Aayush Saxena, Andrew J. Bunker, Francesco D’Eugenio, Stefano Carniani | Summary: We present emission line ratios from a sample of 26 Lyman break galaxies from $zsim5.5-9.5$ with $-17.0<M_{1500}<-20.4$, measured from ultra-deep JWST/NIRSpec MSA spectroscopy from JADES. We use 28 hour deep PRISM/CLEAR and 7 […]

Variational Tensor Wavefunctions for the Interacting Quantum Spin Hall Phase

Kavli Affiliate: Shenghan Jiang | First 5 Authors: Yixin Ma, Shenghan Jiang, Chao Xu, , | Summary: The quantum spin hall (QSH) phase, also known as the 2D topological insulator, is characterized by protected helical edge modes arising from time reversal symmetry. While initially proposed for band insulators, this phase can also manifest in strongly-correlated […]
