Observation and origin of non-thermal hard X-rays from Jupiter

Kavli Affiliate: Melania Nynka | First 5 Authors: Kaya Mori, Charles Hailey, Gabriel Bridges, Shifra Mandel, Amani Garvin | Summary: Electrons accelerated on Earth by a rich variety of wave scattering or stochastic processes generate hard non-thermal X-ray bremsstrahlung up to >~ 1 MeV and power Earth’s various types of aurorae. Although Jupiter’s magnetic field […]

Reassessing the Evidence for Time Variability in the Atmosphere of the Exoplanet HAT-P-7 b

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Maura Lally, Andrew Vanderburg, , , | Summary: We reassess the claimed detection of variability in the atmosphere of the hot Jupiter HAT-P-7 b, reported by Armstrong et al. (2016). Although astronomers expect hot Jupiters to have changing atmospheres, variability is challenging to detect. We looked for […]

Incorporating galaxy cluster triaxiality in stacked cluster weak lensing analyses

Kavli Affiliate: Eli Rykoff | First 5 Authors: Zhuowen Zhang, Hao-Yi Wu, Yuanyuan Zhang, Joshua Frieman, Chun-Hao To | Summary: Counts of galaxy clusters offer a high-precision probe of cosmology, but control of systematic errors will determine the accuracy of this measurement. Using Buzzard simulations, we quantify one such systematic, the triaxiality distribution of clusters […]

Consistent and non-consistent deformations of gravitational theories

Kavli Affiliate: J. S. Villasenor | First 5 Authors: J. Fernando Barbero G., Marc Basquens, Bogar Díaz, Eduardo J. S. Villaseñor, | Summary: We study the internally abelianized version of a range of gravitational theories, written in connection tetrad form, and study the possible interaction terms that can be added to them in a consistent […]

Loss of Neurodevelopmental Gene CASK Disrupts Neural Connectivity in Human Cortical Excitatory Neurons

Kavli Affiliate: Jin Kang | Authors: McSweeney, Rafael Gabriel, Kang Jin, Zhiping P. Pang, Bruce Aronow and ChangHui Pak | Summary: Loss-of-function (LOF) mutations in CASK cause severe developmental phenotypes, including microcephaly with pontine and cerebellar hypoplasia, X-linked intellectual disability, and autism. Unraveling the pathogenesis of CASK-related disorders has been challenging due to limited human […]

The halo bispectrum as a sensitive probe of massive neutrinos and baryon physics

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Victoria Yankelevich, Ian G. McCarthy, Juliana Kwan, Sam G. Stafford, Jia Liu | Summary: The power spectrum has been a workhorse for cosmological studies of large-scale structure. However, the present-day matter distribution is highly non-Gaussian and significant cosmological information is also contained in higher-order correlation functions. Meanwhile, […]

Evidence for a spinon Kondo effect in cobalt atoms on single-layer 1T-TaSe$_2$

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Yi Chen, Wen-Yu He, Wei Ruan, Jinwoong Hwang, Shujie Tang | Summary: Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are highly entangled, disordered magnetic states that arise in frustrated Mott insulators and host exotic fractional excitations such as spinons and chargons. Despite being charge insulators some QSLs are predicted to […]
