Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Jack T. Dinsmore, Roger W. Romani, , , | Summary: By measuring photoelectron tracks, the gas pixel detectors of the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer satellite provide estimates of the photon detection location and its electric vector position angle (EVPA). However, imperfections in reconstructing event positions blur […]

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Jingyi Wang, Erin Kara, Jeroen Homan, James F. Steiner, Diego Altamirano | Summary: IGR J17091-3624 is a black hole X-ray binary (BHXB), often referred to as the ‘twin’ of GRS 1915+105 because it is the only other known BHXB that can show exotic ‘heartbeat’-like variability that is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Jingyi Wang, Erin Kara, Javier A. García, Diego Altamirano, Tomaso Belloni | Summary: While the standard X-ray variability of black hole X-ray binaries (BHXBs) is stochastic and noisy, there are two known BHXBs that exhibit exotic `heartbeat’-like variability in their light curves: GRS 1915+105 and IGR J17091-3624. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael D. Gladders | First 5 Authors: Maxwell Klein, Keren Sharon, Kate Napier, Michael D. Gladders, Gourav Khullar | Summary: We present a strong lensing analysis of COOL J1241+2219, the brightest known gravitationally lensed galaxy at $z geq 5$, based on new multi-band Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging data. The lensed galaxy has […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Charbonneau | First 5 Authors: Emily K. Pass, David Charbonneau, David W. Latham, Perry Berlind, Michael L. Calkins | Summary: Fully convective M dwarfs typically remain rapidly rotating and magnetically active for billions of years, followed by an abrupt and mass-dependent transition to slow rotation and quiescence. A robust understanding of this […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Xiaofeng Wang, Zheng Zhu, Guan Huang, Boyuan Wang, Xinze Chen | Summary: World models play a crucial role in understanding and predicting the dynamics of the world, which is essential for video generation. However, existing world models are confined to specific scenarios such as gaming or driving, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Javira Altmann, Carlota Andres, Anton Andronic, Federico Antinori, Pietro Antonioli | Summary: This paper is a write-up of the ideas that were presented, developed and discussed at the fourth International Workshop on QCD Challenges from pp to AA, which took place in February 2023 in Padua, Italy. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Xuan Zhang, Wei Gao, , , | Summary: In the age of the infodemic, it is crucial to have tools for effectively monitoring the spread of rampant rumors that can quickly go viral, as well as identifying vulnerable users who may be more susceptible to spreading such […]
Kavli Affiliate: Christopher J. Burke | First 5 Authors: Matias I. Jones, Yared Reinarz, Rafael Brahm, Marcelo Tala Pinto, Jan Eberhardt | Summary: We report on the confirmation and follow-up characterization of two long-period transiting substellar companions on low-eccentricity orbits around TIC 4672985 and TOI-2529, whose transit events were detected by the TESS space mission.
