Polarization effects on fluorescence emission of zebrafish neurons using light-sheet microscopy

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Hong Ye, Xin Xu, Jixiang Wang, Jing Wang, Yi He | Summary: Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) makes use of a thin plane of light to optically section and image transparent tissues or organisms {it{in vivo}}, which has the advantages of fast imaging speed and low phototoxicity. In […]

Light Curves and Event Rates of Axion Instability Supernovae

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Kanji Mori, Takashi J. Moriya, Tomoya Takiwaki, Kei Kotake, Shunsaku Horiuchi | Summary: It was recently proposed that exotic particles can trigger a new stellar instability which is analogous to the e-e+ pair instability if they are produced and reach equilibrium in the stellar plasma. In this […]

The Cosmic Telescope that Lenses the Sunburst Arc, PSZ1 G311.65-18.48: Strong Gravitational Lensing model and Source Plane Analysis

Kavli Affiliate: Michael D. Gladders | First 5 Authors: Keren Sharon, Guillaume Mahler, T. Emil Rivera-Thorsen, Hakon Dahle, Michael D. Gladders | Summary: We present a strong lensing analysis of the cluster PSZ1 G311.65-18.48, based on Hubble Space Telescope imaging, archival VLT/MUSE spectroscopy, and Chandra X-ray data. This cool-core cluster (z=0.443) lenses the brightest lensed […]

First Sample of H$α$+[O III] $λ$5007 Line Emitters at $z > 6$ through JWST/NIRCam Slitless Spectroscopy: Physical Properties and Line Luminosity Functions

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Fengwu Sun, Eiichi Egami, Nor Pirzkal, Marcia Rieke, Stefi Baum | Summary: We present a sample of four emission-line galaxies at $z=6.11-6.35$ that were serendipitously discovered using the commissioning data for the JWST/NIRCam wide-field slitless spectroscopy (WFSS) mode. One of them (at $z=6.11$) has been reported previously […]

Opening the era of quasar host studies at high redshift with JWST

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Xuheng Ding, John D. Silverman, Masafusa Onoue, , | Summary: We measure the host galaxy properties of five quasars with $zsim 1.6 – 3.5$ selected from SDSS and AEGIS, which fall within the JWST/HST CEERS survey area. A PSF library is constructed based on stars in […]

Stellar Bars in Isolated Gas-Rich Spiral Galaxies Do Not Slow Down

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Angus Beane, Lars Hernquist, Elena D’Onghia, Federico Marinacci, Charlie Conroy | Summary: Elongated bar-like features are ubiquitous in galaxies, occurring at the centers of approximately two-thirds of spiral disks. Due to gravitational interactions between the bar and the other components of galaxies, it is expected that angular […]

Neutron stars as extreme laboratories for gravity tests

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Lijing Shao, Kent Yagi, , , | Summary: Neutron stars are versatile in their application to studying various important aspects of fundamental physics, in particular strong-field gravity tests and the equation of state for super-dense nuclear matter at low temperatures. However, in many cases these two objectives […]

Spatial and orbital planes of the Milky Way satellites: unusual but consistent with $Λ$CDM

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Khanh Pham, Andrey Kravtsov, Viraj Manwadkar, , | Summary: We examine the spatial distribution and orbital pole correlations of satellites in a suite of zoom-in high-resolution dissipationless simulations of Miky Way (MW) sized haloes. We use the measured distribution to estimate the incidence of satellite configurations as […]
