Kavli Affiliate: Paul Alivisatos | First 5 Authors: Akshay Subramanian, Kevin Cruse, Amalie Trewartha, Xingzhi Wang, A. Paul Alivisatos | Summary: The factors controlling the size and morphology of nanoparticles have so far been poorly understood. Data-driven techniques are an exciting avenue to explore this field through the identification of trends and correlations in data. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | First 5 Authors: Alexis Morvan, Larry Chen, Jeffrey M. Larson, David I. Santiago, Irfan Siddiqi | Summary: Fixed-frequency superconducting quantum processors are one of the most mature quantum computing architectures with high-coherence qubits and low-complexity controls. However, high-fidelity multi-qubit gates pose tight requirements on individual qubit frequencies in these processors […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: John F. Wu, J. E. G. Peek, Erik J. Tollerud, Yao-Yuan Mao, Ethan O. Nadler | Summary: We present "Extending the Satellites Around Galactic Analogs Survey" (xSAGA), a method for identifying low-$z$ galaxies on the basis of optical imaging, and results on the spatial distributions of […]
Kavli Affiliate: George R. Ricker | First 5 Authors: Kristine W. F. Lam, Szilárd Csizmadia, Nicola Astudillo-Defru, Xavier Bonfils, Davide Gandolfi | Summary: Ultra-short-period (USP) exoplanets have orbital periods shorter than one day. Precise masses and radii of USPs could provide constraints on their unknown formation and evolution processes. We report the detection and characterization […]

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Martin C. Weisskopf, Paolo Soffitta, Luca Baldini, Brian D. Ramsey, Stephen L. O’Dell | Summary: Scheduled to launch in late 2021, the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) is a NASA Small Explorer Mission in collaboration with the Italian Space Agency (ASI). The mission will open a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Donald G. York | First 5 Authors: Varsha P. Kulkarni, David V. Bowen, Lorrie A. Straka, Donald G. York, Neeraj Gupta | Summary: We report {it HST} COS spectroscopy of 10 quasars with foreground star-forming galaxies at 0.02$<$$z$$<$ 0.14 within impact parameters of $sim$1-7 kpc. We detect damped/sub-damped Ly$alpha$ absorption in 100$%$ of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Sylvain Veilleux, David S. N. Rupke, Weizhe Liu, Anthony To, Margaret Trippe | Summary: This program is part of QUEST (Quasar/ULIRG Evolutionary Study) and seeks to examine the gaseous environments of z < 0.3 quasars and ULIRGs as a function of host galaxy properties and age across […]
Kavli Affiliate: Toshiyuki Kobayashi | First 5 Authors: Toshiyuki Kobayashi, , , , | Summary: How does an irreducible representation of a group behave when restricted to a subgroup? This is part of branching problems, which are one of the fundamental problems in representation theory, and also interact naturally with other fields of mathematics. This […]
