TESS Eclipsing Binary Stars. I. Short cadence observations of 4584 eclipsing binaries in Sectors 1-26

Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Andrej Prsa, Angela Kochoska, Kyle E. Conroy, Nora Eisner, Daniel R. Hey | Summary: In this paper we present a catalog of 4584 eclipsing binaries observed during the first two years (26 sectors) of the TESS survey. We discuss selection criteria for eclipsing binary candidates, detection of […]

Mass of the dynamically hot inner stellar halo predicts the ancient accreted stellar mass

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Ling Zhu, Annalisa Pillepich, Glenn van de Ven, Ryan Leaman, Lars Hernquist | Summary: Galactic dynamical structures are fossil records of the assembly histories of galaxies. By analyzing the cosmological hydrodynamical simulation TNG50, we find that a dynamical structure that we call the "hot inner stellar halo," […]

Constraints on small-scale primordial density fluctuation from cosmic microwave background through dark matter annihilation

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Kawasaki, Hiromasa Nakatsuka, Kazunori Nakayama, , | Summary: The cosmic microwave background (CMB) observation by the Planck satellite precisely determines primordial curvature fluctuations on larger scales than $mathcal O(1),mathrm{Mpc}$, while the small-scale curvature fluctuation is still less constrained. The constraint on small-scale fluctuations is highly improved […]

Combined analysis of Belle and Belle II data to determine the CKM angle $ φ_{3} $ using $B^+ to D(K_{S}^0 h^- h^+) h^+$ decays

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle, Belle II Collaborations, :, F. Abudinén, L. Aggarwal | Summary: We present a measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa unitarity triangle angle $ phi_{3} $ (also known as~$gamma$) using a model-independent Dalitz plot analysis of linebreak $B^+to Dleft(K_{S}^{0}h^{+}h^{-}right)h^+$, where $D$ is either a $D^0$ or $bar{D}{}^0$ meson and […]

The LHS 1678 System: Two Earth-Sized Transiting Planets and an Astrometric Companion Orbiting an M Dwarf Near the Convective Boundary at 20 pc

Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Michele L. Silverstein, Joshua E. Schlieder, Thomas Barclay, Benjamin J. Hord, Wei-Chun Jao | Summary: We present the TESS discovery of the LHS 1678 (TOI-696) exoplanet system, comprised of two approximately Earth-sized transiting planets and a likely astrometric brown dwarf orbiting a bright ($V_J$=12.5, $K_s$=8.3) M2 dwarf […]

What drives the scatter of local star-forming galaxies in the BPT diagrams? A Machine Learning based analysis

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Mirko Curti, Connor Hayden-Pawson, Roberto Maiolino, Francesco Belfiore, Filippo Mannucci | Summary: We investigate which physical properties are most predictive of the position of local star forming galaxies on the BPT diagrams, by means of different Machine Learning (ML) algorithms. Exploiting the large statistics from the Sloan […]

Multi-Particle Tunneling Transport at Strongly-Correlated Interfaces

Kavli Affiliate: Mamoru Matsuo | First 5 Authors: Hiroyuki Tajima, Daigo Oue, Mamoru Matsuo, , | Summary: We elucidate the multi-particle transport of pair- and spin-tunnelings in strongly correlated interfaces. Not only usual single-particle tunneling but also interaction-induced multi-particle tunneling processes naturally arise from a conventional microscopic model without any empirical parameters, through the overlap […]
