KELT-9 b’s Asymmetric TESS Transit Caused by Rapid Stellar Rotation and Spin-Orbit Misalignment

Posted by klaurent April 28, 2020MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Robert F. Goeke | First 5 Authors: John P. Ahlers, Marshall C. Johnson, Keivan G Stassun, Knicole D. Colon, Jason W. Barnes | Summary: KELT-9 b is an ultra hot Jupiter transiting a rapidly rotating, oblate early-A-type star in a polar orbit. We model the effect of rapid stellar rotation on KELT-9 b’s […]

Duality and Axionic Weak Gravity

Posted by klaurent April 28, 2020Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Hirosi Ooguri | First 5 Authors: Stefano Andriolo, Tzu-Chen Huang, Toshifumi Noumi, Hirosi Ooguri, Gary Shiu | Summary: The axionic weak gravity conjecture predicts the existence of instantons whose actions are less than their charges in appropriate units. We show that the conjecture is satisfied for the axion-dilaton-gravity system if we assume duality […]
