Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Leon Shaposhnikov, Maxim Mazanov, Daniel A. Bobylev, Frank Wilczek, Maxim A. Gorlach | Summary: We consider the design of metamaterials whose behavior embodies the equations of axion electrodynamics. We derive an effective medium description of an assembly of magneto-optical layers with out-of-plane magnetization analytically and show how […]

Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Justin M. Wittrock, Peter Plavchan, Bryson L. Cale, Thomas Barclay, Mathis R. Ludwig | Summary: AU Mic is a young (22 Myr) nearby exoplanetary system that exhibits excess TTVs that cannot be accounted for by the two known transiting planets nor stellar activity. We present the statistical […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Geoffrey Mo, Rahul Jayaraman, Michael Fausnaugh, Erik Katsavounidis, George R. Ricker | Summary: In 2017, the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave (GW) detectors, in conjunction with electromagnetic (EM) astronomers, observed the first GW multi-messenger astrophysical event, the binary neutron star (BNS) merger GW170817. This marked the beginning […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj R. Pasham | First 5 Authors: Maia A. Williams, Jamie A. Kennea, S. Dichiara, Kohei Kobayashi, Wataru B. Iwakiri | Summary: We report the discovery of the unusually bright long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB), GRB 221009A, as observed by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory (Swift), Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI), and Neutron […]

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Alvaro Pozo, Tom Broadhurst, George F. Smoot, Tzihong Chiueh, Hoang Nhan Luu | Summary: Low mass galaxies in the Local Group are dominated by dark matter and comprise the well studied “dwarf Spheroidal" (dSph) class, with typical masses of $10^{9-10}M_odot$ and also the equally numerous “ultra faint […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ronald A. Remillard | First 5 Authors: Benjamin J. Ricketts, James F. Steiner, Cecilia Garraffo, Ronald A. Remillard, Daniela Huppenkothen | Summary: Black hole X-ray binary systems (BHBs) contain a close companion star accreting onto a stellar-mass black hole. A typical BHB undergoes transient outbursts during which it exhibits a sequence of long-lived […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ronald A. Remillard | First 5 Authors: Erin Barillier, Victoria Grinberg, David Horn, Michael A. Nowak, Ronald A. Remillard | Summary: 4U 1957+11 is a black hole candidate system that has been in a soft X-ray spectral state since its discovery. We present analyses of recent joint NICER and NuSTAR spectra, which are […]
