A “Black Hole Star” Reveals the Remarkable Gas-Enshrouded Hearts of the Little Red Dots

Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Rohan P. Naidu, Jorryt Matthee, Harley Katz, Anna de Graaff, Pascal Oesch | Summary: The physical processes that led to the formation of billion solar mass black holes within the first 700 million years of cosmic time remain a puzzle. Several theoretical scenarios have been proposed […]

Prophages as a source of antimicrobial resistance genes in the human microbiome

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Laura K Inglis, Michael J Roach, Susanna R Grigson and Robert A. Edwards | Summary: Prophages—viruses that integrate into bacterial genomes—are ubiquitous in the microbial realm. Prophages contribute significantly to horizontal gene transfer, including the potential spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes, because they can collect host genes. Understanding […]

Subaru Hyper-Supreme Cam observations of IC 1396: Source catalogue, member population, and sub-clusters of the complex

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Swagat R Das, Saumya Gupta, Jessy Jose, Manash Samal, Gregory J. Herczeg | Summary: To identify member populations of IC 1396, we employ the random forest (RF) classifier of machine learning technique. Random forest classifier is an ensemble of individual decision trees suitable for large, high-dimensional […]

Unveiling the sea: universality of the transverse momentum dependent quark distributions at small $x$

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Paul Caucal, Marcos Guerrero Morales, Edmond Iancu, Farid Salazar, Feng Yuan | Summary: Within the Colour Glass Condensate effective theory, we demonstrate that back-to-back dijet correlations in dilute-dense collisions involving a small-$x$ quark from the nuclear target can be factorised in terms of universal transverse momentum dependent […]

The Ambiguous Age and Tidal History for the Ultra-Hot Jupiter TOI-1937Ab

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Alyssa R. Jankowski, Juliette Becker, Melinda Soares-Furtado, Andrew Vanderburg, Zijun He | Summary: Ultra-short-period (USP) planets are a rare but dynamically significant subset of the exoplanet sample, and understanding their dynamical histories and migration processes is necessary to build a complete picture of the outcomes of planet […]
