What’s Behind the Elephant’s Trunk? Identifying Young Stellar Objects on the Outskirts of IC1396

Kavli Affiliate: David A. Principe | First 5 Authors: Steven M. Silverberg, Hans Moritz Guenther, Jinyoung Serena Kim, David A. Principe, Scott J. Wolk | Summary: Empirically, the estimated lifetime of a typical protoplanetary disk is $<5-10$ Myr. However, the disk lifetimes required to produce a variety of observed exoplanetary systems may exceed this timescale. […]

Astrophysical Distance Scale IV. Preliminary Zero-Point Calibration of the JAGB Method in the HST/WFC3-IR Broad J-Band (F110W) Filter

Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Barry F. Madore, Wendy L. Freedman, Abigail Lee, , | Summary: We present an absolute calibration of the J-region Asymptotic Giant Branch (JAGB) method using published photometry of resolved stars in 20 nearby galaxies observed with HST using the WFC3-IR camera and the F110W (Broad J-Band) […]

Tests of General Relativity with GWTC-3

Kavli Affiliate: George Clark| First 5 Authors: The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, , , | Summary:The ever-increasing number of detections of gravitational waves (GWs) from compact binaries by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors allows us to perform ever-more sensitive tests of general relativity (GR) in the dynamical and strong-field regime […]

WALLABY Pre-Pilot Survey: The effects of tidal interaction on radial distribution of color in galaxies of the Eridanus supergroup

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Shun Wang, Jing Wang, Bi-Qing For, Bumhyun Lee, Tristan Reynolds | Summary: We study the tidal interaction of galaxies in the Eridanus supergroup, using HI data from the pre-pilot survey of WALLABY (Widefield ASKAP L-band Legacy All-sky Blind surveY). We obtain optical photometric measurements and quantify the […]

Evidence for A Hot Wind from High-resolution X-ray Spectroscopic Observation of the Low-luminosity Active Galactic Nucleus in NGC 7213

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Fangzheng Shi, Bocheng Zhu, Zhiyuan Li, Feng Yuan, | Summary: Super-massive black holes (SMBHs) spend most of their lifetime accreting at a rate well below the Eddington limit, manifesting themselves as low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs). The prevalence of a hot wind from LLAGNs is a generic […]

Embracing Single Stride 3D Object Detector with Sparse Transformer

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Lue Fan, Ziqi Pang, Tianyuan Zhang, Yu-Xiong Wang, Hang Zhao | Summary: In LiDAR-based 3D object detection for autonomous driving, the ratio of the object size to input scene size is significantly smaller compared to 2D detection cases. Overlooking this difference, many 3D detectors directly follow the […]
