K+a Galaxies as the Aftermath of Gas-rich Mergers: Simulating the Evolution of Galaxies as Seen by Spectroscopic Surveys
(American Astronomical Society, 2011)Models of poststarburst (or "K+A") galaxies are constructed by combining fully three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of galaxy mergers with radiative transfer calculations of dust attenuation. Spectral line catalogs ... -

Kac’s walk on n-sphere mixes in n log n steps
(2017)Determining the mixing time of Kac's random walk on the sphere Sn−1 is a long-standing open problem. We show that the total variation mixing time of Kac's walk on Sn−1 is between 12nlog(n) and 200nlog(n). Our bound is thus ... -
Kafka's Reality and Nabokov's Fantasy. On Dwarves, Saints, Beetles, Symbolism, and Genius.
(Duke University Press, 2007)The article focuses on the influence of the novel "The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka on the writing of the author Vladimir Nabokov. It discusses examples of where the influence can be observed, including Nabokov's novel ... -

Kantian Ethics, Animals, and the Law
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2013)Legal systems divide the world into persons and property, treating animals as property. Some animal rights advocates have proposed treating animals as persons. Another option is to introduce a third normative category. ... -
Katznelson's Working Within the System Now
(Cambridge University Press, 1994)Germany has been reunified. The Soviet Union and Eastern Europe have fractured into ethnically defined nationalist republics trying to dismantle decades of communist political and economic structures and replace them with ... -
The Keck Array: A Multi Camera CMB Polarimeter at the South Pole
(Springer Nature, 2012)The Keck array is a new multi-camera Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarimeter. Each camera contains 256 polarization pairs of antenna-coupled transition edge sensor (TES) bolometers. We recently deployed three of five ... -
The Keck Array: a pulse tube cooled CMB polarimeter
(2010)The Keck Array is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarimeter that will begin observing from the South Pole in late 2010. The initial deployment will consist of three telescopes similar to BICEP2 housed in ultracompact, ... -

Keeping an eye on coloration: ecological correlates of the evolution of pitcher traits in the genus Nepenthes (Caryophyllales)
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2018)Nepenthes is a genus of carnivorous pitcher plants with high intra- and interspecific morphological diversity. Many species produce dimorphic pitchers, and the relative production rate of the two morphs varies interspecifically. ... -
Keldysh approach for nonequilibrium phase transitions in quantum optics: Beyond the Dicke model in optical cavities
(American Physical Society, 2013)We investigate non-equilibrium phase transitions for driven atomic ensembles, interacting with a cavity mode, coupled to a Markovian dissipative bath. In the thermodynamic limit and at low-frequencies, we show that the ... -
Kepler 's First Rocky Planet: Kepler-10b
(American Astronomical Society, 2011)NASA's Kepler Mission uses transit photometry to determine the frequency of Earth-size planets in or near the habitable zone of Sun-like stars. The mission reached a milestone toward meeting that goal: the discovery of its ... -
Kepler Monitoring of an L Dwarf I. The Photometric Period and White Light Flares
(IOP Publishing, 2013)We report on the results of fifteen months of monitoring the nearby field L1 dwarf WISEP J190648.47+401106.8 (W1906+40) with the Kepler mission. Supporting observations with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array and Gemini ... -
Kepler Monitoring of an L Dwarf II. Clouds With Multiyear Lifetimes
(IOP Publishing, 2015)We present Kepler, Spitzer Space Telescope, Gemini-North, MMT, and Kitt Peak observations of the L1 dwarf WISEP J190648.47+401106.8. We find that the Kepler optical light curve is consistent in phase and amplitude over the ... -
The Kepler-10 planetary system revisited by HARPS-N: A hot rocky world and a solid Neptune-mass planet.
(IOP Publishing, 2014)Kepler-10b was the first rocky planet detected by the Kepler satellite and confirmed with radial velocity follow-up observations from Keck-HIRES. The mass of the planet was measured with a precision of around 30%, which ... -
Kepler-20: A Sun-like Star with Three Sub-Neptune Exoplanets and Two Earth-size Candidates
(IOP Publishing, 2012)We present the discovery of the Kepler-20 planetary system, which we initially identified through the detection of five distinct periodic transit signals in the Kepler light curve of the host star 2MASS J19104752+4220194. ...
