Kavli Affiliate: Linhua Jiang | First 5 Authors: Zhiwei Pan, Linhua Jiang, Wei-Jian Guo, Shengxiu Sun, Małgorzata Siudek | Summary: We present a study on the possible overestimation of single-epoch supermassive black hole (SMBH) masses in previous works, based on more than 55,000 type 1 quasars at $0.25 < z < 0.8$ from the Dark […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj R. Pasham | First 5 Authors: Eric Burns, Christopher L. Fryer, Ivan Agullo, Jennifer Andrews, Elias Aydi | Summary: Astrophysical observations of the cosmos allow us to probe extreme physics and answer foundational questions on our universe. Modern astronomy is increasingly operating under a holistic approach, probing the same question with multiple […]
Kavli Affiliate: Martin Haehnelt | First 5 Authors: Marion Farcy, Joakim Rosdahl, Yohan Dubois, Jérémy Blaizot, Sergio Martin-Alvarez | Summary: Galaxies form and evolve via a multitude of complex physics. In this work, we investigate the role of cosmic ray (CR) feedback in galaxy evolution and reionisation, by examining its impact on the escape of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Leah Bigwood, Martin A. Bourne, Vid Irsic, Alexandra Amon, Debora Sijacki | Summary: While cosmological simulations of galaxy formation have reached maturity, able to reproduce many fundamental galaxy and halo properties, no consensus has yet been reached on the impact of `baryonic feedback’ on the non-linear matter […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Hannah Gulick, Hiroki Yoneda, Tadayuki Takahashi, Claire Chen, Kazuhiro Nakazawa | Summary: We present measurements of the afterglow signatures in NaI(Tl) and CsI(Tl) detector modules as part of the Background and Transient Observer (BTO) mission detector trade-study. BTO is a NASA Student Collaboration Project flying on the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Anuroop Dasgupta, Lucas A. Cieza, Camilo I. Gonzalez Ruilova, Trisha Bhowmik, Ms. Prachi Chavan | Summary: The size of a protoplanetary disk is a fundamental property, yet most remain unresolved, even in nearby star-forming regions (d $sim$ 140-200 pc). We present the complete continuum size distribution […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gang Su | First 5 Authors: Jia Wen Li, Gang Su, Bo Gu, , | Summary: Realizing ferromagnetic semiconductors with room Curie temperature $Trm_C$ remains a challenge in spintronics. Inspired by the recent experimental progress on the nanotubes based on 2D van der Waals non-magnetic transition-metal dichalcogenides, magnetic nanotubes based on monolayer ferromagnetic […]
Kavli Affiliate: Blake Sherwin | First 5 Authors: Darby Kramer, Alexander van Engelen, Christopher Cain, Niall MacCrann, Hy Trac | Summary: The kinetic Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect (kSZ) and patchy screening effect are two complementary cosmic microwave background (CMB) probes of the reionization era. The kSZ effect is a relatively strong signal, but is difficult to disentangle […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kerry J. Vahala | First 5 Authors: Gordon H. Y. Li, Midya Parto, Jinhao Ge, Qing-Xin Ji, Maodong Gao | Summary: A computer’s clock rate ultimately determines the minimum time between sequential operations or instructions. Despite exponential advances in electronic computer performance owing to Moore’s Law and increasingly parallel system architectures, computer clock […]
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 […]
