Kavli Affiliate: Robert M. Wald | First 5 Authors: Jose María Ezquiaga, Daniel E. Holz, Wayne Hu, Macarena Lagos, Robert M. Wald | Summary: Assessing the probability that two or more gravitational waves (GWs) are lensed images of the same source requires an understanding of the image properties, including their relative phase shifts in strong […]
Kavli Affiliate: Edward Morgan | Summary:We report the measurement of a spectroscopic transit of TOI-1726 c, one of two planets transiting a G-type star with $V$ = 6.9 in the Ursa Major Moving Group ($sim$400 Myr). With a precise age constraint from cluster membership, TOI-1726 provides a great opportunity to test various obliquity excitation scenarios […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Frieman | First 5 Authors: Yu-Ching Chen, Xin Liu, Wei-Ting Liao, A. Miguel Holgado, Hengxiao Guo | Summary: Periodically variable quasars have been suggested as close binary supermassive black holes. We present a systematic search for periodic light curves in 625 spectroscopically confirmed quasars with a median redshift of 1.8 in a […]
Kavli Affiliate: R. G. McMahon | Summary:Binary supermassive black holes (BSBHs) are expected to be a generic byproduct from hierarchical galaxy formation. The final coalescence of BSBHs is thought to be the loudest gravitational wave (GW) siren, yet no confirmed BSBH is known in the GW-dominated regime. While periodic quasars have been proposed as BSBH […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Katherine A. Cochrane, Jun-Ho Lee, Christoph Kastl, Jonah B. Haber, Tianyi Zhang | Summary: We demonstrate the creation of a spin-1/2 state via the atomically controlled generation of magnetic carbon radical ions (CRIs) in synthetic two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Hydrogenated carbon impurities located at chalcogen […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Akerib | Summary:CMB-S4—the next-generation ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment—is set to significantly advance the sensitivity of CMB measurements and enhance our understanding of the origin and evolution of the Universe, from the highest energies at the dawn of time through the growth of structure to the present day. Among the science […]
