K2-79b and K2-222b: Mass measurements of two small exoplanets with periods beyond 10 days that overlap with periodic magnetic activity signals

Posted by klaurent November 4, 2021MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Chantanelle Nava, Mercedes López-Morales, Annelies Mortier, Li Zeng, Helen A. C. Giles | Summary: We present mass and radius measurements of K2-79b and K2-222b, two transiting exoplanets orbiting active G-type stars. Their respective 10.99d and 15.39d orbital periods fall near periods of signals induced by stellar magnetic […]

Long-Lived Light Mediators from Higgs boson Decay at HL-LHC, FCC-hh and a Proposal of Dedicated LLP Detectors for FCC-hh

Posted by klaurent November 3, 2021Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Shigeki Matsumoto | First 5 Authors: Biplob Bhattacherjee, Shigeki Matsumoto, Rhitaja Sengupta, , | Summary: We study the pair production of the long-lived mediator particles from the decay of the SM Higgs boson and their subsequent decay into standard model particles. We compute the projected sensitivity, both model-independently and with a minimal model, […]

VLA Radio Study of a Sample of Nearby X-ray and Optically Bright Early-Type Galaxies

Posted by klaurent November 3, 2021Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Steven W. Allen | First 5 Authors: Romana Grossová, Norbert Werner, Francesco Massaro, Kiran Lakhchaura, Tomáš Plšek | Summary: Many massive early-type galaxies host central radio sources and hot X-ray atmospheres indicating the presence of radio-mechanical active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback. The duty cycle and detailed physics of the radio-mode AGN feedback is […]
