Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Emrah Kalemci, Erin Kara, John A. Tomsick, , | Summary: We review the timing and spectral evolution of black hole X-ray binary systems, with emphasis on the current accretion-ejection paradigm. When in outburst, stellar mass black hole binaries may become the brightest X-ray sources in the sky. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roland K. Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Mason G. MacDougall, Erik A. Petigura, Tara Fetherolf, Corey Beard, Jack Lubin | Summary: We report the discovery of an eccentric hot Neptune and a non-transiting outer planet around TOI-1272. We identified the eccentricity of the inner planet, with an orbital period of 3.3 d and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Jinhui Guo, Yuxuan He, Jia Liu, Xiao-Ping Wang, Ke-Pan Xie | Summary: The ultralight boson represents a promising dark matter candidate exhibiting unique wave-like behaviors. These properties could transfer to the dark mediator, such as the kinetic mixing dark photon, which can be a link between the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Jinhui Guo, Yuxuan He, Jia Liu, Xiao-Ping Wang, Ke-Pan Xie | Summary: A new particle usually manifests itself as a single resonant peak located at its mass. We propose if the new particle mass is time-varying due to environmental effects, then its mass spectrum typically has a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eli S. Rykoff | First 5 Authors: The Astropy Collaboration, Adrian M. Price-Whelan, Pey Lian Lim, Nicholas Earl, Nathaniel Starkman | Summary: The Astropy Project supports and fosters the development of open-source and openly-developed Python packages that provide commonly needed functionality to the astronomical community. A key element of the Astropy Project is […]

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Saeed Saadatnejad, Yi Zhou Ju, Alexandre Alahi, , | Summary: Safety is still the main issue of autonomous driving, and in order to be globally deployed, they need to predict pedestrians’ motions sufficiently in advance. While there is a lot of research on coarse-grained (human center prediction) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Simon Groblacher | First 5 Authors: Jingkun Guo, Simon Gröblacher, , , | Summary: Preparing macroscopic mechanical resonators close to their motional quantum groundstate and generating entanglement with light offers great opportunities in studying fundamental physics and in developing a new generation of quantum applications. Here we propose an experimentally interesting scheme, which […]

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Biny Sebastian, Preeti Kharb, Matthew L. Lister, Herman L. Marshall, Christopher P. O’Dea | Summary: We have carried out Chandra, HST, and VLA observations of four MOJAVE blazars that have been previously classified as ‘hybrid’ (FR I/II) blazars in terms of radio morphology but not total […]
