Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj Pasham | First 5 Authors: Shuo Zhang, Zhenlin Zhu, Hui Li, Dheeraj Pasham, Zhiyuan Li | Summary: One of the most unique phenomena in the Galactic center region is the existence of numerous long and narrow filamentary structures within a few hundred parsecs of Sgr A$^{star}$. While more than one than one […]
Kavli Affiliate: David A. Principe | First 5 Authors: Anastasiia V Uvarova, Hans Moritz Günther, David A. Principe, P. Christian Schneider, | Summary: Young stars accrete mass and angular momentum from their circumstellar disks. Some of them also drive outflows, which can be distinguished in optical forbidden emission lines (FELs). We analyze a sample of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Christopher Burke | First 5 Authors: Ryan Cloutier, Jason D. Eastman, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Nicola Astudillo-Defru, Xavier Bonfils | Summary: We present the confirmation of two new planets transiting the nearby mid-M dwarf LTT 3780 (TIC 36724087, TOI-732, $V=13.07$, $K_s=8.204$, $R_s$=0.374 R$_{odot}$, $M_s$=0.401 M$_{odot}$, d=22 pc). The two planet candidates are identified in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj R. Pasham | First 5 Authors: Jeroen Homan, Joe Bright, Sara E. Motta, Diego Altamirano, Zaven Arzoumanian | Summary: We present Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer X-ray and Arcminute Microkelvin Imager Large Array radio observations of a rapid hard-to-soft state transition in the black hole X-ray transient MAXI J1820+070. During the transition […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Christoph Engler, Annalisa Pillepich, Gandhali D. Joshi, Dylan Nelson, Anna Pasquali | Summary: We study the stellar-to-halo mass relation (SHMR) for central and satellite galaxies with total dynamical masses above 10^10.5 Msun using the suite of cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical simulations IllustrisTNG. In particular, we quantify environmental effects on […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter Ford | First 5 Authors: Cédric Colas, Tristan Karch, Nicolas Lair, Jean-Michel Dussoux, Clément Moulin-Frier | Summary: Developmental machine learning studies how artificial agents can model the way children learn open-ended repertoires of skills. Such agents need to create and represent goals, select which ones to pursue and learn to achieve them. […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Emanuele Castorina, Simon Foreman, Dionysios Karagiannis, Adrian Liu, Kiyoshi W. Masui | Summary: The Packed Ultra-wideband Mapping Array (PUMA) is a proposed low-resolution transit interferometric radio telescope operating over the frequency range 200 – 1100MHz. Its rich science portfolio will include measuring structure in the universe […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ronald A. Remillard | First 5 Authors: Dacheng Lin, Jay Strader, Aaron J. Romanowsky, Jimmy A. Irwin, Olivier Godet | Summary: We recently discovered the X-ray/optical outbursting source 3XMM J215022.4-055108. It was best explained as the tidal disruption of a star by an intermediate-mass black hole of mass of a few tens of […]
Kavli Affiliate: J. S. Villasenor | First 5 Authors: Fernando Barbero G., Juan Margalef-Bentabol, Eduardo J. S. Villaseñor, , | Summary: We give a new identity involving Bernoulli polynomials and combinatorial numbers. This provides, in particular, a Faulhaber-like formula for sums of the form $1^m (n-1)^m + 2^m (n-2)^m + cdots + (n-1)^m 1^m$ for […]
