GJ 238 b: A 0.57 Earth Radius Planet Orbiting an M2.5 Dwarf Star at 15.2 pc

Kavli Affiliate: David Charbonneau | First 5 Authors: Evan Tey, Avi Shporer, Zifan Lin, Keivan G. Stassun, Jack J. Lissauer | Summary: We report the discovery of the transiting planet GJ 238 b, with a radius of $0.566pm0.014$ R$_{oplus}$ ($1.064pm0.026$ times the radius of Mars) and an orbital period of 1.74 day. The transit signal […]

ACACIAS I: Element abundance labels for 192 stars in the dwarf galaxy NGC 6822

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Melissa K. Ness, J. Trevor Mendel, Sven Buder, Adam Wheeler, Alexander P. Ji | Summary: The element abundances of local group galaxies connect enrichment mechanisms to galactic properties and serve to contextualise the Milky Way’s abundance distributions. Individual stellar spectra in nearby galaxies can be extracted […]

Population-level Dark Energy Constraints from Strong Gravitational Lensing using Simulation-Based Inference

Kavli Affiliate: Brian Nord | First 5 Authors: Sreevani Jarugula, Brian Nord, Abhijith Gandrakota, Aleksandra Ćiprijanović, | Summary: In this work, we present a scalable approach for inferring the dark energy equation-of-state parameter ($w$) from a population of strong gravitational lens images using Simulation-Based Inference (SBI). Strong gravitational lensing offers crucial insights into cosmology, but […]

FEASTS Combined with Interferometry (II): Significantly Changed HI Surface Densities and Even More Inefficient Star Formation in Galaxy Outer Disks

Jing Wang, Xuchen Lin, Lister Staveley-Smith, Dong Yang, Fabian Walter | Summary: [[{“value”:”We update the HI surface density measurements for a subset of 17 THINGS galaxies by dealing with the short-spacing problem of the original VLA HI images. It is the same sample that Bigiel et al. (2010) used to study the relation between HI […]

Decoding contextual influences on auditory perception from primary auditory cortex

Kavli Affiliate: Mounya Elhilali | Authors: Bernhard Englitz, Sahar Akram, Mounya Elhilali and Shihab Shamma | Summary: SPerception can be highly dependent on stimulus context, but whether and how sensory areas encode the context remains uncertain. We used an ambiguous auditory stimulus – a tritone pair – to investigate the neural activity associated with a […]

The Non-Relativistic Effective Field Theory Of Dark Matter-Electron Interactions

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Gordan Krnjaic, Duncan Rocha, Tanner Trickle, , | Summary: Electronic excitations in atomic, molecular, and crystal targets are at the forefront of the ongoing search for light, sub-GeV dark matter (DM). In many light DM-electron interactions the energy and momentum deposited is much smaller than the electron […]
