The Dwarf Galaxy--Halo Connection from Milky Way Satellites

We present a forward-modeling framework to observationally infer the galaxy-halo connection in the dwarf galaxy regime. Our framework maps dark matter subhalo populations to four observable satellite properties —abundance, projected size, luminosity, and

Spintronic THz emission: driving force and applications

Ultrabroadband terahertz (THz) radiation is a useful and versatile tool in the fields of spintronics and ultrafast magnetism. THz emission spectroscopy exploits this radiation as a direct probe: a metallic heterostructure is excited with a femtosecond opt

A new scientific study reveals key mechanisms underlying the functioning of the circadian clock

The study, led by Ikerbasque researcher Mariana Astiz and published in PLOS Biology, reveals that astrocytes are essential for keeping our circadian clock on time.
