The DECam MAGIC Survey: Spectroscopic Follow-up of the Most Metal-Poor Stars in the Distant Milky Way Halo

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Vinicius M. Placco, Guilherme Limberg, Anirudh Chiti, Deepthi S. Prabhu, Alexander P. Ji | Summary: In this work, we present high-resolution spectroscopic observations for six metal-poor stars with [Fe/H]<-3 (including one with [Fe/H]<-4), selected using narrow-band Ca II HK photometry from the DECam MAGIC Survey. The […]

FRB 20250316A: A Brilliant and Nearby One-Off Fast Radio Burst Localized to 13 parsec Precision

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: The CHIME/FRB Collaboration, The CHIME/FRB Collaboration, , , | Summary: Precise localizations of a small number of repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) using very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) have enabled multiwavelength follow-up observations revealing diverse local environments. However, the 2–3% of FRB sources that are observed […]

Trans-dimensional Hamiltonian model selection and parameter estimation from sparse, noisy data

Kavli Affiliate: Tim H. Taminiau | First 5 Authors: Abigail N. Poteshman, Abigail N. Poteshman, , , | Summary: High-throughput characterization often requires estimating parameters and model dimension from experimental data of limited quantity and quality. Such data may result in an ill-posed inverse problem, where multiple sets of parameters and model dimensions are consistent […]

TOI-1846b: A super-Earth in the radius valley orbiting a nearby M dwarf

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Abderahmane Soubkiou, Abderahmane Soubkiou, , , | Summary: We present the discovery and validation of a super-Earth planet orbiting the M dwarf star TOI-1846 (TIC 198385543). The host star(Kmag = 9.6)is located 47 pc away and has a radius of Rs=0.41+/-0.01R_Sun,a mass of Ms=0.40+/-0.02M_Sun and an effective […]

Data-Driven Design-Test-Make-Analyze Paradigm for Inorganic Crystals: Ultrafast Synthesis of Ternary Oxides

Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Haiwen Dai, Haiwen Dai, , , | Summary: Data-driven methodologies hold the promise of revolutionizing inorganic materials discovery, but they often face challenges due to discrepancies between theoretical predictions and experimental validation. In this work, we present an end-to-end discovery framework that leverages synthesizability, oxidation state […]
