Migration and Evolution of giant ExoPlanets (MEEP) I: Nine Newly Confirmed Hot Jupiters from the TESS Mission

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 […]

Nonparametric worst-case bounds for publication bias on the summary receiver operating characteristic curve

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 […]

On the Physical Nature of Ly$α$ Transmission Spikes in High Redshift Quasar Spectra

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Gnedin | Summary:We investigate Lyman-alpha (Ly$α$) 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 medium (IGM). Disentangling the complex interplay between IGM physics and the influence […]

Detection of X-ray Polarization from the Blazar 1ES 1959+650 with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer

Kavli Affiliate: Grzegorz Madejski | Summary:Observations of linear polarization in the 2-8 keV energy range with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) explore the magnetic field geometry and dynamics of the regions generating non-thermal radiation in relativistic jets of blazars. These jets, particularly in blazars whose spectral energy distribution peaks at X-ray energies, emit X-rays […]
