EIGER VI. The Correlation Function, Host Halo Mass and Duty Cycle of Luminous Quasars at $zgtrsim6$

Posted by dbos MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Anna-Christina Eilers, Ruari Mackenzie, Elia Pizzati, Jorryt Matthee, Joseph F. Hennawi | Summary: We expect luminous ($M_{1450}lesssim-26.5$) high-redshift quasars to trace the highest density peaks in the early universe. Here, we present observations of four $zgtrsim6$ quasar fields using JWST/NIRCam in imaging and widefield slitless spectroscopy […]

Modulation of GABAA receptor trafficking by WWC2 reveals class-specific mechanisms of synapse regulation by WWC family proteins

Posted by dbos Hopkins

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Huganir | Authors: Thomas L Dunham, Julia R Wilkerson, Richard C Johnson, Richard L. Huganir and Lenora J Volk | Summary: WWC2 (WW and C2 domain-containing protein) is implicated in several neurological disorders, however its function in the brain has yet to be determined. Here, we demonstrate that WWC2 interacts with inhibitory […]

Isolated nearly flat higher Chern band in monolayer transition metal trihalides

Posted by dbos Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Kejie Bao, Huan Wang, Yadong Jiang, Haosheng Xu, Jing Wang | Summary: The interplay between non-trivial topology and strong electron interaction can generate a variety of exotic quantum matter. Here we theoretically propose that monolayer transition metal trihalides MoF$_3$ and WI$_3$ have isolated nearly flat band near […]

Enhanced Monochromatic Photon Emission from Millicharged Co-Interacting Dark Matter

Posted by dbos Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Mingxuan Du, Jia Liu, Xiao-Ping Wang, Tianhao Wu, | Summary: We study a millicharged co-interacting dark matter scenario, where the primary dark matter constituent is the dark photon $A’$ and the secondary component is the fermion $chi$. In this model, $chi$ interacts with $A’$ via a $U(1)’$ […]
