Kavli Affiliate: Michael Shadlen | Authors: Gabriel M Stine, Eric M Trautmann, Danique Jeurissen and Michael N Shadlen | Summary: The brain makes decisions by accumulating evidence until there is enough to stop and choose. Neural mechanisms of evidence accumulation are well established in association cortex, but the site and mechanism of termination is unknown. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Yacheng Kang, Chang Liu, Lijing Shao, , | Summary: We investigate the prospects of electromagnetic follow-up observations for binary neutron star (BNS) mergers, with the help of early warnings from decihertz gravitational-wave (GW) observatories, B-DECIGO and DO-Optimal. Extending the previous work, we not only give quick assessments […]

Extending our previous work in Liu et al. (2022), we not […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gabor Furesz | First 5 Authors: Petr Kabáth, Priyanka Chaturvedi, Phillip J. MacQueen, Marek Skarka, Ján Šubjak | Summary: We present the confirmation and characterization of three hot Jupiters, TOI-1181b, TOI-1516b, and TOI-2046b, discovered by the TESS space mission. The reported hot Jupiters have orbital periods between 1.4 and 2.05 days. The masses […]

Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Anirudh Chiti, Anna Frebel, Alexander P. Ji, Mohammad K. Mardini, Xiaowei Ou | Summary: We present chemical abundances and velocities of five stars between 0.3 kpc to 1.1 kpc from the center of the Tucana II ultra-faint dwarf galaxy (UFD) from high-resolution Magellan/MIKE spectroscopy. We find that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Sophia Lilleengen, Michael S. Petersen, Denis Erkal, Jorge Peñarrubia, Sergey E. Koposov | Summary: It has recently been shown that the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) has a substantial effect on the Milky Way’s stellar halo and stellar streams. Here, we explore how deformations of the Milky […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Yi Qiu, Ke Wang, Jian-hua He, , | Summary: We investigate the detectability of gravitational waves (GWs) lensed by a system that consists of binary black holes as lenses using time-domain numerical simulations. The gravitational lensing potential of this system is no longer static but evolves with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Luca Chirolli, Norman Y. Yao, Joel E. Moore, , | Summary: High fidelity quantum information processing requires a combination of fast gates and long-lived quantum memories. In this work, we propose a hybrid architecture, where a parity-protected superconducting qubit is directly coupled to a Majorana qubit, […]
