Kavli Affiliate: Risa Wechsler | Summary:We generalize lower limits on the dark matter (DM) particle mass $m$ derived from Milky Way (MW) satellite galaxy abundances to scenarios in which DM is an ultralight scalar field produced with a field power spectrum peaked at a subhorizon wavenumber $k_*$. In these models, the DM field free-streams similar […]
Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | Summary:The origin of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos remains a key open question in multimessenger astrophysics. A correlation between unabsorbed hard X-ray emission and high-energy neutrino luminosity has been reported in a sample of six active galactic nuclei with the highest individual IceCube significances, linking neutrino production to compact, photon-rich environments near […]
Kavli Affiliate: Patricia Janak | Authors: Matilde Castro, Jingren Gu, Teresa Dong, David J. Ottenheimer, Céline Drieu and Patricia H. Janak | Summary: Prior studies implicate the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) in reward motivation, yet how this region encodes motivation for ethanol (EtOH) seeking and consumption–and how this compares to encoding of natural […]

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | Summary:A tight correlation between nuclear millimeter (mm) and X-ray emission has recently been found in nearby ($z < 0.01$) and low-Eddington ratio ($rm λ_Edd < 0.1$) radio-quiet (RQ) Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), suggesting a common origin in the hot X-ray corona. We test this relation in nine more distant RQ […]
Kavli Affiliate: Loren Frank | Authors: Joseph Park, Cameron Smith, Shih Yi Tseng, Jennifer Guidera, Andrei V Semenov, Stanislav Smirnov, Loren M Frank and Gerald M Pao | Summary: Complex systems such as brains and other interacting biological and physical processes are difficult to represent because they evolve across many variables, scales, and nonlinear interactions. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | Summary:Understanding how galaxies and active galactic nuclei (AGN) jointly drive the reionization of the intergalactic medium (IGM) across cosmic time remains a major challenge in cosmology. We present Lumina, a large-volume radiation-hydrodynamic simulation that self-consistently follows the coupled evolution of the intergalactic medium, galaxies, and AGN through HI, HeI, and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Martin Lindquist | Authors: Zheng Ren, Patrick Sadil and Martin Lindquist | Summary: Aggregating neuroimaging data across sites and studies is increasingly common, yet site- and scanner-related batch effects can obscure meaningful biological variation and introduce spurious associations. Although ComBat and its extensions are widely used, they are primarily designed for single-metric harmonization. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | Summary:When a rapidly-rotating, highly magnetized white dwarf (WD) approaches the Chandrashekhar limit through mass accretion, it can undergo an accretion-induced collapse (AIC) to form a proto-neutron star or protomagnetar. The protomagnetar can drive a magnetically-dominated relativistic outflow, whose low entropy can lead to efficient formation of heavy nuclei. In this […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Muller | Summary:Robust state estimation for highly dynamic motion of legged robots remains challenging, especially in dynamic, contact-rich scenarios. Traditional approaches often rely on binary contact states that fail to capture the nuances of partial contact or directional slippage. This paper presents CoCo-InEKF, a differentiable invariant extended Kalman filter that utilizes continuous […]
