Absorption-line Environments of High-redshift BOSS Quasars

Kavli Affiliate: Donald York | First 5 Authors: Chen Chen, Fred Hamann, Bo Ma, Britt Lundgren, Donald York | Summary: The early stage of massive galaxy evolution often involves outflows driven by a starburst or a central quasar plus cold mode accretion (infall), which adds to the mass build-up in the galaxies. To study the […]

Nanopores — a Versatile Tool to Study Protein Dynamics

Kavli Affiliate: Cees Dekker | First 5 Authors: Sonja Schmid, Cees Dekker, , , | Summary: Proteins are the active working horses in our body. These biomolecules perform all vital cellular functions from DNA replication and general biosynthesis to metabolic signaling and environmental sensing. While static 3D structures are now readily available, observing the functional […]

Curvature conditions for spatial isotropy

Kavli Affiliate: Pau Amaro Seoane | First 5 Authors: Kostas Tzanavaris, Pau Amaro Seoane, , , | Summary: In the context of mathematical cosmology, the study of necessary and sufficient conditions for a semi-Riemannian manifold to be a (generalised) Robertson-Walker space-time is important. In particular, it is a requirement for the development of initial data […]

Controlling the anisotropy of a van der Waals antiferromagnet with light

Kavli Affiliate: P. G. Steeneken | First 5 Authors: D. Afanasiev, J. R. Hortensius, M. Matthiesen, S. Mañas-Valero, M. Šiškins | Summary: Magnetic van der Waals materials provide an ideal playground for exploring the fundamentals of low-dimensional magnetism and open new opportunities for ultrathin spin processing devices. The Mermin-Wagner theorem dictates that as in reduced […]

Metal-Poor Stars Observed with the Southern African Large Telescope

Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Kaitlin C. Rasmussen, Joseph Zepeda, Timothy C. Beers, Vinicius M. Placco, Eric Depagne | Summary: We present the first release of a large-scale study of relatively bright (V < 13.5) metal-poor stars observed with the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT), based on high-resolution spectra of 50 stars […]

The effects of turbulence on galactic nuclear gas rings

Kavli Affiliate: R. Morris | First 5 Authors: Jesus M. Salas, Smadar Naoz, Mark R. Morris, , | Summary: The gas dynamics in the inner few kiloparsecs of barred galaxies often results in configurations that give rise to nuclear gas rings. However, the generic dynamical description of the formation of galactic nuclear rings does not […]

Assessing Classifier Fairness with Collider Bias

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Zhenlong Xu, Ziqi Xu, Jixue Liu, Debo Cheng, Jiuyong Li | Summary: The increasing application of machine learning techniques in everyday decision-making processes has brought concerns about the fairness of algorithmic decision-making. This paper concerns the problem of collider bias which produces spurious associations in fairness assessment […]

The X-ray properties of Eta Carinae during its 2020 X-ray minimum

Kavli Affiliate: David A. Principe | First 5 Authors: Amit Kashi, David A. Principe, Noam Soker, Joel H. Kastner, | Summary: The massive binary system Eta Carinae is characterized by intense colliding winds that form shocks and emit X-rays. The system is highly eccentric ($esimeq0.9$), resulting in modulated X-ray emission during its 5.54 year orbit. […]

A Tale of Two Transition Disks: ALMA long-baseline observations of ISO-Oph 2 reveal two closely packed non-axisymmetric rings and a $sim$2 au cavity

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Camilo González-Ruilova, Lucas A. Cieza, Antonio S. Hales, Sebastián Pérez, Alice Zurlo | Summary: ISO-Oph 2 is a wide-separation (240 au) binary system where the primary star harbors a massive (M$_{dust}$ $sim$40 M$_{oplus}$) ring-like disk with a dust cavity $sim$50 au in radius and the secondary […]
