Kavli Affiliate: Paul Schechter | Summary:Strong gravitational lenses provide unique laboratories for cosmological and astrophysical investigations, but they must first be discovered – a task that can be met with significant contamination by other astrophysical objects and asterisms. Here we review strong lens searches, covering various sources (quasars, galaxies, supernovae, FRBs, GRBs, and GWs), lenses […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Chengyan Xie, Ilaria Pascucci, Feng Long, Klaus M. Pontoppidan, Andrea Banzatti | Summary: We present an analysis of the JDISC JWST/MIRI-MRS spectrum of Sz~114, an accreting M5 star surrounded by a large dust disk with a shallow gap at $sim 39$ au. The spectrum is molecular-rich: […]
