Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Ryan Mckinven, Daniele Michilli, Kiyoshi W. Masui, Davor Cubranic, B. M. Gaensler | Summary: Polarimetric observations of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are a powerful resource for better understanding these mysterious sources by directly probing the emission mechanism of the source and the magneto-ionic properties of its […]

Goeke | First 5 Authors: Nolan Grieves, François Bouchy, Monika Lendl, Theron Carmichael, Ismael Mireles | Summary: We report the discovery of five transiting companions near the hydrogen-burning mass limit in close orbits around main sequence stars originally identified by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) as TESS Objects of Interest […]
Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li |Summary:The observation of a radioactively powered kilonova AT~2017gfo associated with the gravitational wave-event GW170817 from binary neutron star merger proves that these events are ideal sites for the production of heavy $r$-process elements. The gamma-ray photons produced by the radioactive decay of heavy elements are unique probes for the detailed […]
