Massive Galaxy Mergers Have Distinctive Global HI Profiles

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Pei Zuo, Luis C. Ho, Jing Wang, Niankun Yu, Jinyi Shangguan | Summary: The global 21 cm HI emission-line profile of a galaxy encodes valuable information on the spatial distribution and kinematics of the neutral atomic gas. Galaxy interactions significantly influence the HI disk and imprint observable […]

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 […]

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, […]
