A transiting, temperate mini-Neptune orbiting the M dwarf TOI-1759 unveiled by TESS

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Néstor Espinoza, Enric Pallé, Jonas Kemmer, Rafael Luque, José A. Caballero | Summary: We report the discovery and characterization of TOI-1759~b, a temperate (400 K) sub-Neptune-sized exoplanet orbiting the M~dwarf TOI-1759 (TIC 408636441). TOI-1759 b was observed by TESS to transit on sectors 16, 17 and 24, […]

Mitigating the effects of particle background on the Athena Wide-Field Imager

Kavli Affiliate: Catherine E. Grant | First 5 Authors: Eric D. Miller, Catherine E. Grant, Marshall W. Bautz, Silvano Molendi, Ralph Kraft | Summary: The Wide Field Imager (WFI) flying on Athena will usher in the next era of studying the hot and energetic Universe. WFI observations of faint, diffuse sources will be limited by […]

Precisely computing bound orbits of spinning bodies around black holes I: General framework and results for nearly equatorial orbits

Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: Lisa V. Drummond, Scott A. Hughes, , , | Summary: Very large mass ratio binary black hole systems are of interest both as a clean limit of the two-body problem in general relativity, as well as for their importance as sources of low-frequency gravitational waves. At […]

NEID Rossiter-McLaughlin Measurement of TOI-1268b: A Young Warm Saturn Aligned with Its Cool Host Star

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Jiayin Dong, Chelsea X. Huang, George Zhou, Rebekah I. Dawson, Gudmundur K. Stefánsson | Summary: Close-in gas giants present a surprising range of stellar obliquity, the angle between a planet’s orbital axis and its host star’s spin axis. It is unclear whether the obliquities reflect the planets’ […]

Validation of 13 Hot and Potentially Terrestrial TESS Planets

Kavli Affiliate: George R. Ricker | First 5 Authors: Steven Giacalone, Courtney D. Dressing, Christina Hedges, Veselin B. Kostov, Karen A. Collins | Summary: The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will be able to probe the atmospheres and surface properties of hot, terrestrial planets via emission spectroscopy. We identify 18 potentially terrestrial planet candidates detected […]

On the on-shell equivalence of general relativity and Holst theories with nonmetricity, torsion, and boundaries

Kavli Affiliate: J. S. Villasenor | First 5 Authors: J. Fernando Barbero G., Juan Margalef-Bentabol, Valle Varo, Eduardo J. S. Villaseñor, | Summary: We study a generalization of the Holst action where we admit nonmetricity and torsion in manifolds with timelike boundaries (both in the metric and tetrad formalism). We prove that its space of […]

Monitoring inner regions in the RY Tau jet

Kavli Affiliate: Moritz Guenther | First 5 Authors: Taichi Uyama, Michihiro Takami, Gabriele Cugno, Vincent Deo, Olivier Guyon | Summary: We present multi-epoch observations of the RY~Tau jet for H$alpha$ and [ion{Fe}{2}] 1.644 micron~emission lines obtained with Subaru/SCExAO+VAMPIRES, Gemini/NIFS, and Keck/OSIRIS in 2019–2021. These data show a series of four knots within 1$arcsec$ consistent with […]

Using the Sun to Measure the Primary Beam Response of the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi Masui | First 5 Authors: CHIME Collaboration, Mandana Amiri, Kevin Bandura, Anja Boskovic, Jean-François Cliche | Summary: We present a beam pattern measurement of the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) made using the Sun as a calibration source. As CHIME is a pure drift scan instrument, we rely on the seasonal […]
