Kavli Affiliate: Nicholas L. Abbott | First 5 Authors: Fiona Mukherjee, Anye Shi, Xin Wang, Fengqi You, Nicholas L. Abbott | Summary: Identifying and removing microplastics (MPs) from the environment is a global challenge. This study explores how the colloidal fraction of common MPs behave at aqueous interfaces of liquid crystal (LC) films. We observed […]
Kavli Affiliate: J. Todd Hoeksema | First 5 Authors: David F. Fouhey, Richard E. L. Higgins, Spiro K. Antiochos, Graham Barnes, Marc L. DeRosa | Summary: We investigate the cross-calibration of the Hinode/SOT-SP and SDO/HMI instrument meta-data, specifically the correspondence of the scaling and pointing information. Accurate calibration of these datasets gives the correspondence needed […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael M. Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Helena P. Treiber, Jason T. Hinkle, Michael M. Fausnaugh, Benjamin J. Shappee, Christopher S. Kochanek | Summary: We used Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) data to identify 29 candidate active galactic nuclei (AGNs) through their optical variability. The high-cadence, high-precision TESS light curves present a unique […]

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Hanjue Zhu, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, , , | Summary: Baryons both increase halo concentration through adiabatic contraction and expel mass through feedback processes. However, it is not well understood how the radiation fields prevalent during the epoch of reionization affect the evolution of concentration in dark […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert F. Goeke | First 5 Authors: Nolan Grieves, François Bouchy, Solène Ulmer-Moll, Samuel Gill, David R. Anderson | Summary: We report the discovery of a 1.32$^{+0.10}_{-0.10}$ $mathrm{M_{rm Jup}}$ planet orbiting on a 75.12 day period around the G3V $10.8^{+2.1}_{-3.6}$ Gyr old star TOI-5542 (TIC 466206508; TYC 9086-1210-1). The planet was first detected […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lars Bildsten | First 5 Authors: William C. Schultz, Benny T. H. Tsang, Lars Bildsten, Yan-Fei Jiang, | Summary: Observations indicate that turbulent motions are present on most massive star surfaces. Starting from the observed phenomena of spectral lines with widths much larger than thermal broadening (e.g. micro- and macroturbulence) to the detection […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Yoseob Yoon, Zuocheng Zhang, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi, Sefaattin Tongay | Summary: Ultrafast charge transfer processes provide a facile way to create interlayer excitons and to generate single-cycle THz pulses in directly contacted transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) layers. More sophisticated heterostructures composed of TMD/hBN/TMD can enable new […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Tenyo Kawamura, Chris Done, Magnus Axelsson, Tadayuki Takahashi, | Summary: Black hole X-ray binaries in the low/hard states display significant broad-band (stochastic) variability on short time-scales (0.01-100 seconds), with a complex pattern of lags in correlated variability seen in different energy bands. This behaviour is generally interpreted […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew M. Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Lizhou Sha, Andrew M. Vanderburg, Chelsea X. Huang, David J. Armstrong, Rafael Brahm | Summary: Hot jupiters (P < 10 d, M > 60 $mathrm{M}_oplus$) are almost always found alone around their stars, but four out of hundreds known have inner companion planets. These rare companions […]
