Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Ignas Juodžbalis, Ignas Juodžbalis, , , | Summary: Recent discoveries of faint active galactic nuclei (AGN) at the redshift frontier have revealed a plethora of broad Halpha emitters with optically red continua, named Little Red Dots (LRDs), which comprise 15-30% of the high redshift broad line AGN […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Zhijie Zhang, Zhijie Zhang, , , | Summary: Current galaxy formation models predict the existence of X-ray-emitting gaseous halos around Milky Way (MW)-type galaxies. To investigate properties of this coronal gas in MW-like galaxies, we analyze a suite of high-resolution simulations based on the it SMUGGLE framework, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Carina M. Persson, Carina M. Persson, , , | Summary: We present the detection and characterisation of the TOI-1438 multi-planet system discovered by TESS. We collected a series of follow-up observations including high-spectral resolution observations with HARPS-N over a period of five years. Our modelling shows that […]
Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Yoshiki Matsuoka, Yoshiki Matsuoka, , , | Summary: We present spectroscopic identification of 43 quasars and 11 candidate obscured quasars in the epoch of reionization (EoR) at $5.71 le z le 7.02$, along with 29 galaxies at similar redshifts. This is the 24th publication from the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Peter W. Graham, Peter W. Graham, , , | Summary: Recent observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) show some tension with a $Lambda$CDM cosmology. For one, the cosmological parameters determined by the CMB are at odds with the expansion history […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Yifan Gao, Yifan Gao, , , | Summary: Foundation models pre-trained on large-scale natural image datasets offer a powerful paradigm for medical image segmentation. However, effectively transferring their learned representations for precise clinical applications remains a challenge. In this work, we propose Dino U-Net, a novel encoder-decoder […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Shigenobu Hirose, Shigenobu Hirose, , , | Summary: The third “Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter” (MD$nu$DM’25) meeting was held May 20-23, 2025 in Yokohama, Japan, hosted by the Yokohama Institute for Earth Sciences, Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC). These proceedings compile contributions […]
Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: Joheen Chakraborty, Joheen Chakraborty, , , | Summary: Quasi-Periodic Eruptions (QPEs) are luminous, recurring X-ray outbursts from galactic nuclei, with timescales of hours to days. While their origin remains uncertain, leading models invoke accretion disk instabilities or the interaction of a massive black hole (MBH) with […]
Kavli Affiliate: D. B. Macfarlane | First 5 Authors: M. F. Albakry, M. F. Albakry, , , | Summary: SuperCDMS SNOLAB uses kilogram-scale germanium and silicon detectors to search for dark matter. Each detector has Transition Edge Sensors (TESs) patterned on the top and bottom faces of a large crystal substrate, with the TESs electrically […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Aditya R. Sengupta, Aditya R. Sengupta, , , | Summary: Photonic lanterns (PLs) are fiber-based waveguides that are capable of focal-plane wavefront sensing while simultaneously directing light to downstream science instruments. The optimal choice of wavefront reconstruction algorithm has yet to be determined, and likely depends on […]
