The Kinematic and Chemical Properties of the Close-in Planet Host Star 8 UMi

Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Huiling Chen, Yang Huang, Wei Zhu, Timothy C. Beers, Renjing Xie | Summary: A recent study by Hon et al. reported that a close-in planet around the red clump star, 8 UMi, should have been engulfed during the expansion phase of its parent star’s evolution. They explained […]

On the Physical Nature of Ly$α$ Transmission Spikes in High Redshift Quasar Spectra

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Hanjue Zhu, Nickolay Gnedin, Camille Avestruz, , | Summary: We investigate Lyman-alpha (Ly$alpha$) transmission spikes at $5.2 < z < 6.8$ using synthetic quasar spectra from the “Cosmic Reionization On Computers" simulations. We focus on understanding the relationship between these spikes and the properties of the intergalactic […]

Hyperelastic swelling of stiff hydrogels

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jing Wang, Justin C. Burton, , , | Summary: Hydrogels are biphasic, swollen polymer networks where elastic deformation is coupled to nanoscale fluid flow. As a consequence, hydrogels can withstand large strains and exhibit nonlinear, hyperelastic properties. For low-modulus hydrogel and semiflexible biopolymer networks, previous studies have […]
