Kavli Affiliate: Robert Goeke | First 5 Authors: Yoshi Nike Emilia Eschen, Yoshi Nike Emilia Eschen, , , | Summary: A crucial chemical link between stars and their orbiting exoplanets is thought to exist. If universal, this connection could affect the formation and evolution of all planets. Therefore, this potential vital link needs testing by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eric D. Miller | First 5 Authors: Congyao Zhang, Congyao Zhang, , , | Summary: In this paper, we present extended gas kinematic maps of the Perseus cluster by combining five new XRISM/Resolve pointings observed in 2025 with four Performance Verification datasets from 2024, totaling 745 ks net exposure. To date, Perseus remains […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Wenpu Li, Wenpu Li, , , | Summary: The estimation of optical flow and 6-DoF ego-motion, two fundamental tasks in 3D vision, has typically been addressed independently. For neuromorphic vision (e.g., event cameras), however, the lack of robust data association makes solving the two problems separately an […]
Kavli Affiliate: Giordano Scappucci | First 5 Authors: Karina Hudson, Karina Hudson, , , | Summary: Constricting transport through a one-dimensional quantum point contact in the quantum Hall regime enables gate-tunable selection of the edge modes propagating between voltage probe electrodes. Here we investigate the quantum Hall effect in a quantum point contact fabricated on […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Lingqi Meng, Lingqi Meng, , , | Summary: We conducted high-precision timing of PSR J1946+2052 to determine the masses of the two neutron stars in the system, test general relativity (GR) and assessed the system’s potential for future measurement of the moment of inertia of the pulsar. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Qingjuan Yu | First 5 Authors: Zhiwei Chen, Zhiwei Chen, , , | Summary: Lensed gravitational wave (GW) events are expected to be powerful new probes of cosmology, contingent on redshift measurement by electromagnetic observations. Host galaxy identification is thus crucial but challenging due to poor localization by GW signal alone. In this […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gregory Herczeg | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: Time-domain studies of mid-infrared and submillimeter variability have shown that at least half of protostars are variable. We present a statistical analysis of mid-infrared variability among young stellar objects (YSOs) in the distant, massive star-forming region W51 using NEOWISE data. From […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lindsey Bleem | First 5 Authors: Joshua Roberson, Joshua Roberson, , , | Summary: Understanding the properties of the first generation of galaxies is an ongoing challenge in observational astrophysics. While advances in deep field observation have led to the identification of large numbers of galaxies within the Epoch of Reionization, there are […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Zhehao Ge, Zhehao Ge, , , | Summary: Electron Wigner solids (WSs)1-12 provide an ideal system for understanding the competing effects of electron-electron and electron-disorder interactions, a central unsolved problem in condensed matter physics. Progress in this topic has been limited by a lack of single-defect-resolved experimental […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Shehzaib Irfan, Shehzaib Irfan, , , | Summary: Extreme value theory (EVT) is well suited to model extreme events, such as floods, heatwaves, or mechanical failures, which is required for reliability assessment of systems across multiple domains for risk management and loss prevention. The block maxima (BM) […]
