Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Yali Shao, Jeff Wagg, Ran Wang, Emmanuel Momjian, Chris L. Carilli | Summary: We present Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) S- (2–4 GHz), C- (4–8 GHz), and X-band (8–12 GHz) continuum observations toward seven radio-loud quasars at $z>5$. This sample has previously been found to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paul McEuen | First 5 Authors: Chrisy Xiyu Du, Hanyu Alice Zhang, Tanner Pearson, Jakin Ng, Paul McEuen | Summary: The ability to rapidly manufacture building blocks with specific binding interactions is a key aspect of programmable assembly. Recent developments in DNA nanotechnology and colloidal particle synthesis have significantly advanced our ability to […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Ricker | First 5 Authors: Michelle Kunimoto, Tansu Daylan, Natalia Guerrero, William Fong, Steve Bryson | Summary: We present the detection of 1,617 new transiting planet candidates, identified in the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) full-frame images (FFIs) observed during the Primary Mission (Sectors 1 – 26). These candidates were initially detected […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Han-Ji Wu, Guo-Bin Mou, Kai Wang, Wei Wang, Zhuo Li | Summary: The origin of ultra-high energy neutrinos still lacks observational evidence, besides, the physical mechanism is also unclear. There is an association of a PeV neutrino event (IceCube-191001A) with an optical tidal disruption event (TDE, AT2019dsg) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger D. Blandford | First 5 Authors: Elena M. Murchikova, Tianshu Wang, Brian Mason, Roger D. Blandford, | Summary: Murchikova et al 2019 discovered a disk of cool ionized gas within 20,000 Schwarzschild radii of the Milky Way’s Galactic Center black hole Sagittarius A*. They further demonstrated that the ionizing photon flux in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: John F. Wu, J. E. G. Peek, Erik J. Tollerud, Yao-Yuan Mao, Ethan O. Nadler | Summary: We present "Extending the Satellites Around Galactic Analogs Survey" (xSAGA), a method for identifying low-$z$ galaxies on the basis of optical imaging, and results on the spatial distributions of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Edward Morgan | Summary:Ultra-short-period (USP) exoplanets have orbital periods shorter than one day. Precise masses and radii of USPs could provide constraints on their unknown formation and evolution processes. We report the detection and characterization of the USP planet GJ 367b using high precision photometry and radial velocity observations. GJ 367b orbits a […]

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Martin C. Weisskopf, Paolo Soffitta, Luca Baldini, Brian D. Ramsey, Stephen L. O’Dell | Summary: Scheduled to launch in late 2021, the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) is a NASA Small Explorer Mission in collaboration with the Italian Space Agency (ASI). The mission will open a […]
