Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Alvaro Pozo, Razieh Emami, Philip Mocz, Tom Broadhurst, Lars Hernquist | Summary: Dark matter-dominated cores have long been claimed for the well-studied local group dwarf galaxies. More recently, extended stellar halos have been uncovered around several of these dwarfs through deeper imaging and spectroscopy. Such core-halo structures […]
Kavli Affiliate: Troy Porter | First 5 Authors: Christopher Karwin, Thomas Siegert, Jacqueline Beechert, John Tomsick, Troy Porter | Summary: In 2016 the Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) had a successful 46-day flight onboard NASA’s Super Pressure Balloon platform. In this work we report measurements of the Galactic diffuse continuum emission (GDCE) observed towards the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Anya E. Nugent, Wen-fai Fong, Cristian Castrejon, Joel Leja, Michael Zevin | Summary: We present a population of 11 of the faintest ($> 25.5$ AB mag) short gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxies. We model their sparse available observations using the stellar population inference code Prospector-$beta$ and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Warit Wijitworasart, Zoe de Beurs, Andrew Vanderburg, , | Summary: We present a dataset for investigating the impact of stellar activity on astrometric measurements using NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) images of the Sun. The sensitivity of astrometry for detecting exoplanets is limited by stellar activity (e.g. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Aditi Desai, Stephanie E. Sallum, Ravinder Banyal, Natalie Batalha, Natasha Batalha | Summary: SCALES (Slicer Combined with Array of Lenslets for Exoplanet Spectroscopy) is a 2 – 5 micron high-contrast lenslet-based integral field spectrograph (IFS) designed to characterize exoplanets and their atmospheres. The SCALES medium-spectral-resolution mode uses […]

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Rainer Schoedel, Steve Longmore, Jonny Henshaw, Adam Ginsburg, John Bally | Summary: The inner hundred parsecs of the Milky Way hosts the nearest supermassive black hole, largest reservoir of dense gas, greatest stellar density, hundreds of massive main and post main sequence stars, and the highest volume […]
