Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Jack Schulte, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Allyson Bieryla, Samuel N. Quinn, Karen A. Collins | Summary: Hot Jupiters were many of the first exoplanets discovered in the 1990s, but in the decades since their discovery, the mysteries surrounding their origins remain. Here, we present nine new hot Jupiters […]
Kavli Affiliate: Linhua Jiang | First 5 Authors: Shuqi Fu, Linhua Jiang, Yuanhang Ning, Weiyang Liu, Zhiwei Pan | Summary: We present a study of a sample of 45 spectroscopically confirmed, UV luminous galaxies at $zsim 6$. They were selected as bright Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) using deep multi-band optical images in more than 2 deg$^2$ […]
Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Han Lin, Xiaofeng Wang, Jujia Zhang, Danfeng Xiang, Tianmeng Zhang | Summary: We present 206 unpublished optical spectra of 104 type II supernovae obtained by the Xinglong 2.16m telescope and Lijiang 2.4m telescope during the period from 2011 to 2018, spanning the phases from about 1 to […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Sudipta Sikder, Rennan Barkana, Anastasia Fialkov, , | Summary: The efficiency of radio emission is an important unknown parameter of early galaxies at cosmic dawn, as models with high efficiency have been shown to modify the cosmological 21-cm signal substantially, deepening the absorption trough and boosting the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Isabel Rebollido, Christopher C. Stark, Jens Kammerer, Marshall D. Perrin, Kellen Lawson | Summary: We present the first JWST MIRI and NIRCam observations of the prominent debris disk around Beta Pictoris. Coronagraphic observations in 8 filters spanning from 1.8 to 23~$mu$m provide an unprecedentedly clear view of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Yi Zhou, Ao Huang, Satoshi Hattori, , | Summary: The summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve has been recommended as one important meta-analytical summary to represent the accuracy of a diagnostic test in the presence of heterogeneous cutoff values. However, selective publication of diagnostic studies for meta-analysis […]
Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Huiling Chen, Yang Huang, Wei Zhu, Timothy C. Beers, Renjing Xie | Summary: A recent study by Hon et al. reported that a close-in planet around the red clump star, 8 UMi, should have been engulfed during the expansion phase of its parent star’s evolution. They explained […]

Kavli Affiliate: Mounya Elhilali | Authors: Sijia Zhao, Benjamin Skerritt-Davis, Mounya Elhilali, Frederic Dick and Maria Chait | Summary: The brain is increasingly viewed as a statistical learning machine, where our sensations and decisions arise from the intricate interplay between bottom-up sensory signals and constantly changing expectations regarding the surrounding world. Which statistics does the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Hanjue Zhu, Nickolay Gnedin, Camille Avestruz, , | Summary: We investigate Lyman-alpha (Ly$alpha$) transmission spikes at $5.2 < z < 6.8$ using synthetic quasar spectra from the “Cosmic Reionization On Computers" simulations. We focus on understanding the relationship between these spikes and the properties of the intergalactic […]
