Kavli Affiliate: Shigeki Matsumoto | First 5 Authors: Sung Hak Lim, Kohei Hayashi, Shun’ichi Horigome, Shigeki Matsumoto, Mihoko M. Nojiri | Summary: The kinematics of stars in dwarf spheroidal galaxies have been studied to understand the structure of dark matter halos. However, the kinematic information of these stars is often limited to celestial positions and […]

Hoffman | Authors: Meilin Fernandez Garcia, Kayla Retallick-Townsley, Novin Balafkan, April Pruitt, Elizabeth Davidson, Yi Dai, Sarah E Fitzpatrick, Tzu-Chieh Huang, Alfred Kibowen, Jonathan Warrell, Ran Meng, Zhiyuan Chu, Annabel Sen, Sophie Cohen, Olivia Livoti, Suha Khan, Charlotte Becker, Andre Luiz Teles Silva, Jenny Liu, Grace Dossou, Jen Cheung, Sadaf Ghorbani, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Marzena Śniegowska, Benny Trakhtenbrot, Lydia Makrygianni, Iair Arcavi, Claudio Ricci | Summary: AT 2019aalc is a peculiar sequence of highly variable emission events observed towards the nucleus of the broad-line AGN SDSS J152416.66+045119.0. The system exhibited two distinct UV/optical flares (the first detected in 2019, the second […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Dominika Ďurovčíková, Anna-Christina Eilers, Romain A. Meyer, Emanuele Paolo Farina, Eduardo Bañados | Summary: The existence of billion-solar-mass black holes hosted in luminous quasars within the first gigayear of cosmic history poses a challenge to our understanding of supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth. The problem is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Debanjan Chowdhury | First 5 Authors: Haoyu Guo, Debanjan Chowdhury, , , | Summary: Metals at the brink of electronic quantum phase transitions display high-temperature superconductivity, competing orders, and unconventional charge transport, revealing strong departures from conventional Fermi liquid behavior. Investigation of these fascinating intertwined phenomena has been at the center of research […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: Tanisha Jhaveri, Tanvi Karwal, Wayne Hu, , | Summary: Under $Lambda$CDM, recent baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) distance measures from DESI, which favor a low matter density $Omega_m$, are in moderate $2-3sigma$ tension with cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations. This tension appears alternately as a preference for the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Luis Welbanks, Matthew C. Nixon, Peter McGill, Lana J. Tilke, Lindsey S. Wiser | Summary: Claims of detections of gases in exoplanet atmospheres often rely on comparisons between models including and excluding specific chemical species. However, the space of molecular combinations available for model construction is vast […]

Kavli Affiliate: Xuebing Wu | First 5 Authors: Jingbo Sun, Hengxiao Guo, Wenwen Zuo, Paulina Lira, Minfeng Gu | Summary: The search for robust evidence of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) is crucial for understanding black hole seeding process and the formation of supermassive black holes in the early Universe. NGC 4395 and POX 52 are […]
