Kavli Affiliate: Nicola Omodei | First 5 Authors: Giacomo Principe, Nicola Omodei, Niccolò Di Lalla, Leonardo Di Venere, Francesco Longo | Summary: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are one of the most exciting new mysteries of astrophysics. Their origin is still unknown, but recent observations seems to link them to Soft Gamma Repeaters and, in particular, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Lars Lund Thomsen, Jane Lixin Dai, Erin Kara, Chris Reynolds, | Summary: X-ray reverberation is a powerful technique which maps out the structure of the inner regions of accretion disks around black holes using the echoes of the coronal emission reflected by the disk. While the theory […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gijsje H. Koenderink | First 5 Authors: Iain Muntz, Michele Fenu, Gerjo J. V. M. van Osch, Gijsje H. Koenderink, | Summary: Living tissue is able to withstand large stresses in everyday life, yet it also actively adapts to dynamic loads. This remarkable mechanical behaviour emerges from the interplay between living cells and […]

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Junyao Li, John D. Silverman, Xuheng Ding, Michael A. Strauss, Andy Goulding | Summary: We measure the evolution of the $M_{rm BH}-M_*$ relation using 584 uniformly-selected SDSS quasars at $0.2<z<0.8$. The black-hole masses ($M_{rm BH}$) are derived from the single-epoch virial mass estimator using the H$beta$ […]
Kavli Affiliate: Christopher J. Burke | First 5 Authors: Michael Fausnaugh, Ed Morgan, Roland Vanderspek, Joshua Pepper, Christopher J. Burke | Summary: We describe the target selection procedure by which stars are selected for 2-minute and 20-second observations by TESS. We first list the technical requirements of the TESS instrument and ground systems processing that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Alessia Tortosa, Claudio Ricci, Francesco Tombesi, Luis C. Ho, Pu Du | Summary: The physical properties of the accretion flow and of the X-ray emitting plasma, in supermassive black holes accreting at extreme Eddington rates, are still very unclear. Here we present the analysis of simultaneous XMM-Newton […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Minghui Pang, Qiuming Zhu, Fei Bai, Zhuo Li, Hanpeng Li | Summary: Based on the three-dimensional propagation characteristic under built-up scenarios, a height-dependent line-of-sight (LoS) probability model for air-to-ground (A2G) millimeter wave (mmWave) communications is proposed in this paper. With comprehensive considerations of scenario factors, i.e., building […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael S. Turner | First 5 Authors: Michael S. Turner, , , , | Summary: The $rmLambda$CDM cosmological model is remarkable: with just 6 parameters it describes the evolution of the Universe from a very early time when all structures were quantum fluctuations on subatomic scales to the present, and it is consistent […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ralf K. Heilmann | First 5 Authors: P. S. Athiray, Amy R. Winebarger, Patrick Champey, Ken Kobayashi, Sabrina Savage | Summary: The Marshall Grazing Incidence X-ray Spectrometer (MaGIXS) is a sounding rocket experiment that observes the soft X-ray spectrum of the Sun from 6.0 – 24 Angstrom (0.5 – 2.0 keV), successfully launched […]
