TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME) VI: an 11 Myr giant planet transiting a very low-mass star in Lower Centaurus Crux

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Roland Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Andrew W. Mann, Mackenna L. Wood, Stephen P. Schmidt, Madyson G. Barber, James E. Owen | Summary: Mature super-Earths and sub-Neptunes are predicted to be $simeq$Jovian radius when younger than 10 Myr. Thus, we expect to find 5-15$R_oplus$ planets around young stars even if their older counterparts […]

Establishing the Non-Primordial Origin of Black Hole-Neutron Star Mergers

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Misao Sasaki, Volodymyr Takhistov, Valeri Vardanyan, Ying-li Zhang, | Summary: Primordial black holes (PBHs) from the early Universe constitute an attractive dark matter candidate. First detections of black hole-neutron star (BH-NS) candidate gravitational wave events by the LIGO/Virgo collaboration, GW200105 and GW200115, already prompted speculations about non-astrophysical […]

Air Stable and Layer Dependent Ferromagnetism in Atomically Thin van der Waals CrPS$_{4}$

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Joolee Son, Suhan Son, Pyeongjae Park, Maengsuk Kim, Zui Tao | Summary: Ferromagnetism in two-dimensional materials presents a promising platform for the development of ultrathin spintronic devices with advanced functionalities. Recently discovered ferromagnetic van der Waals crystals such as CrI$_{3}$, readily isolated two-dimensional crystals, are highly tunable […]
