Kavli Affiliate: Michael A. McDonald | First 5 Authors: Hannah Zohren, Tim Schrabback, Sebastian Bocquet, Martin Sommer, Fatimah Raihan | Summary: We present a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) weak gravitational lensing study of nine distant and massive galaxy clusters with redshifts $1.0 lesssim z lesssim 1.7$ ($z_mathrm{median} = 1.4$) and Sunyaev Zel’dovich (SZ) detection significance […]

Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Derek Shank, Timothy C. Beers, Vinicius M. Placco, Dmitrii Gudin, Thomas Catapano | Summary: Orbital characteristics based on Gaia Early Data Release 3 astrometric parameters are analyzed for ${sim} 1700$ $r$-process-enhanced (RPE; [Eu/Fe] $> +0.3$) metal-poor stars ([Fe/H] $leq -0.8$) compiled from the $R$-Process Alliance, the GALactic […]

Kavli Affiliate: Nergis Mavalvala | First 5 Authors: Christopher Hilweg, Danial Shadmany, Philip Walther, Nergis Mavalvala, Vivishek Sudhir | Summary: Today’s most precise optical instruments — gravitational-wave interferometers and optical atomic clocks — rely on long storage times for photons to realize their exquisite sensitivity. Optical fiber technology is the most widely deployed platform for […]

Kavli Affiliate: George Clark | First 5 Authors: Joachim Saur, Stefan Duling, Alexandre Wennmacher, Clarissa Willmes, Lorenz Roth | Summary: We report results of Hubble Space Telescope observations from Ganymede’s orbitally trailing side which were taken around the flyby of the Juno spacecraft on June 7, 2021. We find that Ganymede’s northern and southern auroral […]

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Richard French, Christophe Mandy, Richard Hunter, Ehson Mosleh, Doug Sinclair | Summary: Regular, low-cost Decadal-class science missions to planetary destinations will be enabled by high-{Delta}V small spacecraft, such as the high-energy Photon, and small launch vehicles, such as Electron, to support expanding opportunities for scientists and to […]

Kavli Affiliate: Marshall W. Bautz | First 5 Authors: Eric D. Miller, Gregory Y. Prigozhin, Beverly J. LaMarr, Marshall W. Bautz, Richard F. Foster | Summary: To take advantage of high-resolution optics sensitive to a broad energy range, future X-ray imaging instruments will require thick detectors with small pixels. This pixel aspect ratio affects spectral […]

Kavli Affiliate: George Ricker | First 5 Authors: Faith Hawthorn, Daniel Bayliss, Thomas G. Wilson, Andrea Bonfanti, Vardan Adibekyan | Summary: We present the discovery of two exoplanets transiting TOI-836 (TIC 440887364) using data from TESS Sector 11 and Sector 38. TOI-836 is a bright ($T = 8.5$ mag), high proper motion ($sim,200$ mas yr$^{-1}$), […]

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Ana Trcka, Maarten Baes, Peter Camps, Anand Utsav Kapoor, Dylan Nelson | Summary: We apply the radiative transfer (RT) code SKIRT on a sample of ~14000 low-redshift (z<= 0.1) galaxies extracted from the TNG50 simulation to enable an apples-to-apples comparison with observations. The RT procedure is calibrated […]
