Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Marc Hon, Saul Rappaport, Avi Shporer, Andrew Vanderburg, Karen A. Collins | Summary: We report the discovery of BD+05$,$4868$,$Ab, a transiting exoplanet orbiting a bright ($V=10.16$) K-dwarf (TIC 466376085) with a period of 1.27 days. Observations from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) reveal variable transit depths […]
Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Hao-Zhu Fu, Subo Dong, , , | Summary: When a planet is ejected from its star-planet system due to dynamical interactions, its satellite may remain gravitationally bound to the planet. The Chinese Space Station Telescope (CSST) will be capable of detecting a large number of low-mass free-floating […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lindsey E. Bleem | First 5 Authors: Guillaume Mahler, Keren Sharon, Matthew Bayliss, Lindsey. E. Bleem, Mark Brodwin | Summary: We report the results from a study of two massive ($M_{500c} > 6.0 times 10^{14} M_{odot}$) strong lensing clusters selected from the South Pole Telescope cluster survey for their high Einstein radius ($R_E […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj R. Pasham | First 5 Authors: Thomas Wevers, Muryel Guolo, Sean Lockwood, Andrew Mummery, Dheeraj R. Pasham | Summary: X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are a novel mode of variability in nearby galactic nuclei whose origin remains unknown. Their multi-wavelength properties are poorly constrained, as studies have focused almost entirely on the X-ray […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ronald A. Remillard | First 5 Authors: Megan Masterson, Erin Kara, Christos Panagiotou, William N. Alston, Joheen Chakraborty | Summary: Recent discoveries from time-domain surveys are defying our expectations for how matter accretes onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs). The increased rate of short-timescale, repetitive events around SMBHs, including the newly-discovered quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs), […]
Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li | First 5 Authors: Yuqian Yuan, Hang Zhang, Wentong Li, Zesen Cheng, Boqiang Zhang | Summary: Video Large Language Models (Video LLMs) have recently exhibited remarkable capabilities in general video understanding. However, they mainly focus on holistic comprehension and struggle with capturing fine-grained spatial and temporal details. Besides, the lack […]
Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | First 5 Authors: Jose Soto Garcia, Natalia Chepiga, , , | Summary: Quantum phase transitions are characterised by the universal scaling laws in the critical region surrounding the transitions. This universality is also manifested in the critical real-time dynamics through the quantum Kibble-Zurek mechanism. In recent experiments on a Rydberg […]
Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Ibe, Satoshi Shirai, Keiichi Watanabe, , | Summary: The Froggatt-Nielsen (FN) mechanism successfully explains the hierarchical structure of fermion Yukawa couplings by introducing a U(1) flavor symmetry with distinct charge assignments for different fermion generations. While some FN charge assignments have been proposed, their evaluation has […]
Kavli Affiliate: Catherine E. Grant | First 5 Authors: Catherine E. Grant, Marshall W. Bautz, Eric D. Miller, Richard F. Foster, Beverly LaMarr | Summary: The Arcus Probe mission concept provides high-resolution soft X-ray and UV spectroscopy to reveal feedback-driven structure and evolution throughout the universe with an agile response capability ideal for probing the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Menno Veldhorst | First 5 Authors: Valentin John, Cécile X. Yu, Barnaby van Straaten, Esteban A. Rodríguez-Mena, Mauricio Rodríguez | Summary: Quantum computers require the systematic operation of qubits with high fidelity. For holes in germanium, the spin-orbit interaction allows for textit{in situ} electric fast and high-fidelity qubit gates. However, the interaction also […]
