Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Joheen Chakraborty, Riccardo Arcodia, Erin Kara, Giovanni Miniutti, Margherita Giustini | Summary: Quasi-Periodic Eruptions (QPEs) are luminous X-ray outbursts recurring on hour timescales, observed from the nuclei of a growing handful of nearby low-mass galaxies. Their physical origin is still debated, and usually modeled as (a) accretion […]
Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Sean Heston, Shunsaku Horiuchi, Satoshi Shirai, , | Summary: We constrain the neutrino-dark matter cross section using properties of the dark matter density profiles of Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies. The constraint arises from core-collapse supernova neutrinos scattering on dark matter as a form of energy injection, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Xuejian Shen, Mark Vogelsberger, Josh Borrow, Yongao Hu, Evan Erickson | Summary: We investigate galaxy sizes at redshift $zgtrsim 6$ with the cosmological radiation-magneto-hydrodynamic simulation suite THESAN(-HR). These simulations simultaneously capture the reionization of the large-scale intergalactic medium and resolved galaxy properties. The intrinsic size ($r^{ast}_{1/2}$) of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: John F. Wu, Christian Kragh Jespersen, Risa H. Wechsler, , | Summary: We investigate the connection between galaxies, dark matter halos, and their large-scale environments at $z=0$ with Illustris TNG300 hydrodynamic simulation data. We predict stellar masses from subhalo properties to test two types of machine […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Drake A. Lehmann, Andrew Vanderburg, , , | Summary: Data from the Kepler space telescope have led to the discovery of thousands of planet candidates. Most of these candidates are likely to be real exoplanets, but a significant number of false positives still contaminate the sample, especially […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Adam E. Lanman, Shion Andrew, Mattias Lazda, Vishwangi Shah, Mandana Amiri | Summary: Localizing fast radio bursts (FRBs) to their host galaxies is an essential step to better understanding their origins and using them as cosmic probes. The CHIME/FRB Outrigger program aims to add VLBI-localization capabilities […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roland Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Ashley Chontos, Daniel Huber, Samuel K. Grunblatt, Nicholas Saunders, Joshua N. Winn | Summary: We present a dedicated transit and radial velocity survey of planets orbiting subgiant stars observed by the TESS Mission. Using $sim$$16$ nights on Keck/HIRES, we confirm and characterize $12$ new transiting planets — […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Juan Daniel Torres Luna, A. Mert Bozkurt, Michael Wimmer, Chun-Xiao Liu, | Summary: Connecting quantum dots through Andreev bound states in a semiconductor-superconductor hybrid provides a platform to create a Kitaev chain. Interestingly, in a double quantum dot, a pair of poor man’s Majorana zero modes can […]
