The James Webb Space Telescope NIRSpec-PRISM Transmission Spectrum of the Super-Puff, Kepler-51d
Kepler-51 is a 500 Myr G dwarf hosting three "super-puffs" and one low-mass non-transiting planet. Kepler-51d, the coolest (T_eq ~ 350 K) transiting planet in this system, is also one of the lowest density super-puffs known to date (rho_p = 0.038 +/- 0.009 g/cm^3). With a planetary mass of Mp = 5.6 +/- 1.2 Earth masses and a radius of Rp = 9.32 +/- 0.18 Earth radii, the observed properties of this planet are not readily explained by most planet formation theories. Hypotheses explaining Kepler-5…

NYC's Upset Election Was Drawn Along An Odd Line: Car Ownership
Car ownership and transit ridership serve as a shorthand for someone's entire living situation — and, apparently, their politics.

There are undoubtedly morally justified uses of facial recognition technology, but improving and refining these technologies directly enables racist policies.

ICE Is Using a New Facial Recognition App to Identify People, Leaked Emails Show
The new tool, called Mobile Fortify, uses the CBP system which ordinarily takes photos of people when they enter or exit the U.S., according to internal ICE emails viewed by 404 Media. Now ICE is using it in the field.

Trade among moral agents with information asymmetries
I study a sequential bilateral trade setting with asymmetric information, where one side has all the bargaining power and makes a take-it-or-leave-it price offer. Both agents hold a certain degree of Kantian morality and thus care about what would have happened had their actions been adopted by their counterpart. In order to capture this, I implement a Veil-of-Ignorance approach, whereby players are uncertain about their role and are thus forced to submit strategies for both the case where they…

Benchmarking and Parallelization of Electrostatic Particle-In-Cell for low-temperature Plasma Simulation by particle-thread Binding

Benchmarking and Parallelization of Electrostatic Particle-In-Cell for low-temperature Plasma Simulation by particle-thread Binding
The Particle-In-Cell (PIC) method for plasma simulation tracks particle phase space information using particle and grid data structures. High computational costs in 2D and 3D device-scale PIC simulations necessitate parallelization, with the Charge Deposition (CD) subroutine often becoming a bottleneck due to frequent particle-grid interactions. Conventional methods mitigate dependencies by generating private grids for each core, but this approach faces scalability issues. We propose a novel ap…

Salem numbers and commensurability classes of arithmetic hyperbolic manifolds
In this article we show that given a Salem number $λ$, a totally real number field $k\subseteq\mathbb{Q}(λ+λ^{-1})$, and a positive integer $n\geq\mathrm{deg}_k(λ)-1$, there exist infinitely many commensurability classes of arithmetic hyperbolic $n$-manifolds defined over $k$ which contain a geodesic of length $\logλ$.

Mamdani Stuns Cuomo in New York Mayoral Primary
Zohran Mamdani appears poised to be the Democratic nominee for mayor, where he could face a contested race that will include Eric Adams and perhaps Andrew Cuomo.
