Development and characterization of a fast and low noise readout for the next generation X-ray CCDs

Kavli Affiliate: Marshall Bautz | First 5 Authors: Tanmoy Chattopadhyay, Sven Herrmann, Peter Orel, R. Glenn Morris, Gregory Prigozhin | Summary: The broad energy response, low electronic read noise, and good energy resolution have made X-ray Charge-Coupled Devices (CCDs) an obvious choice for developing soft X-ray astronomical instruments over the last half century. They also […]

Co-evolution of the Brightest Cluster Galaxies and their Host Clusters in IllustrisTNG

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Jubee Sohn, Margaret J. Geller, Mark Vogelsberger, Ivana Damjanov, | Summary: We use the IllustrisTNG simulations to explore the dynamic scaling relation between massive clusters and their central galaxies (BCGs). The Illustris TNG300-1 simulation we use includes 280 massive clusters with $M_{200} > 10^{14}$ M$_{odot}$ enabling a […]

The Origin of the Relation Between Stellar Angular Momentum and Stellar Mass in Nearby Disk-dominated galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Min Du, Luis C. Ho, Hao-Ran Yu, Victor P. Debattista, | Summary: The IllustrisTNG simulations reproduce the observed scaling relation between stellar specific angular momentum (sAM) $j_{rm s}$ and mass $M_{rm s}$ of central galaxies. We show that the local $j_{rm s}$-$M_{rm s}$ relation ${rm log} […]

The Origin of the Stellar Angular Momentum-Mass Relation: Connecting Galaxies and Halos in IllustrisTNG

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Min Du, Luis C. Ho, Hao-Ran Yu, Victor P. Debattista, | Summary: The IllustrisTNG simulations reproduce well the observed scaling relation between specific angular momentum (sAM) $j_{rm s}$ and mass $M_{rm s}$ of galaxies, i.e., the $j_{rm s}$-$M_{rm s}$ relation. This relation develops in disk galaxies […]

Blockchain-based Collaborated Federated Learning for Improved Security, Privacy and Reliability

Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Amir Afaq, Zeeshan Ahmed, Noman Haider, Muhammad Imran, | Summary: Federated Learning (FL) provides privacy preservation by allowing the model training at edge devices without the need of sending the data from edge to a centralized server. FL has distributed the implementation of ML. Another variant of […]

Accretion Disk Size Measurements of Active Galactic Nuclei Monitored by the Zwicky Transient Facility

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Wei-Jian Guo, Yan-Rong Li, Zhi-Xiang Zhang, Luis C. Ho, Jian-Min Wan | Summary: We compile a sample of 92 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at z<0.75 with $gri$ photometric light curves from the archival data of the Zwicky Transient Facility and measure the accretion disk sizes via […]

H$_2$-dominated Atmosphere as an Indicator of Second-generation Rocky White Dwarf Exoplanets

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Zifan Lin, Sara Seager, Sukrit Ranjan, Thea Kozakis, Lisa Kaltenegger | Summary: Following the discovery of the first exoplanet candidate transiting a white dwarf (WD), a "white dwarf opportunity" for characterizing the atmospheres of terrestrial exoplanets around WDs is emerging. Large planet-to-star size ratios and hence large […]

TESS Revisits WASP-12: Updated Orbital Decay Rate and Constraints on Atmospheric Variability

Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Ian Wong, Avi Shporer, Shreyas Vissapragada, Michael Greklek-McKeon, Heather A. Knutson | Summary: After observing WASP-12 in the second year of the primary mission, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) revisited the system in late 2021 during its extended mission. In this paper, we incorporate the new […]
