X-Ray Polarized View on the Accretion Geometry in the X-Ray Binary Circinus X-1

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: John Rankin, Fabio La Monaca, Alessandro Di Marco, Juri Poutanen, Anna Bobrikova | Summary: Cir X-1 is a neutron star X-ray binary characterized by strong variations in flux during its eccentric $sim$16.6 days orbit. There are also strong variations in the spectral state, and historically it […]

End-to-End Modeling of the TDM Readout System for CMB-S4

Kavli Affiliate: Kent Irwin | Summary:The CMB-S4 experiment is developing next-generation ground-based microwave telescopes to observe the Cosmic Microwave Background with unprecedented sensitivity. This will require an order of magnitude increase in the 100 mK detector count, which in turn increases the demands on the readout system. The CMB-S4 readout will use time division multiplexing […]

The robustness in identifying and quantifying high-redshift bars using JWST observations

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Xinyue Liang, Si-Yue Yu, Taotao Fang, Luis C. Ho, | Summary: Understanding the methodological robustness in identifying and quantifying high-redshift bars is essential for studying their evolution with the {it James} {it Webb} Space Telescope (JWST). We used nearby spiral galaxies to generate simulated images at […]

X-ray Polarization Reveals the Precessions of the Neutron Star in Hercules X-1

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Jeremy Heyl, Victor Doroshenko, Denis González-Caniulef, Ilaria Caiazzo, Juri Poutanen | Summary: In an accreting X-ray pulsar, a neutron star accretes matter from a stellar companion through an accretion disk. The high magnetic field of the rotating neutron star disrupts the inner edge of the disc, […]

The Effects of the Local Environment on a Compact Radio Interferometer I: Cross-coupling in the Tianlai Dish Pathfinder Array

Kavli Affiliate: Albert Stebbins | First 5 Authors: Juhun Kwak, John Podczerwinski, Peter Timbie, Réza Ansari, John Marriner | Summary: The visibilities measured by radio astronomical interferometers include non-astronomical correlated signals that arise from the local environment of the array. These correlated signals are especially important in compact arrays such as those under development for […]
