The feasibility of constraining DM interactions with high-redshift observations by JWST

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Ali Kurmus, Sownak Bose, Mark Lovell, Francis-Yan Cyr-Racine, Mark Vogelsberger | Summary: Observations of the high redshift universe provide a promising avenue for constraining the nature of the dark matter (DM). This will be even more true following the now successful launch of the James Webb Space […]

Tidally Tilted Pulsations in HD 265435, a subdwarf B Star with a Close White Dwarf Companion

Kavli Affiliate: George Ricker | First 5 Authors: Rahul Jayaraman, Gerald Handler, Saul Rappaport, Jim Fuller, Donald W. Kurtz | Summary: Tidally tilted pulsators (TTPs) are an intriguing new class of oscillating stars in binary systems; in such stars, the pulsation axis coincides with the line of apsides, or semi-major axis, of the binary. All […]

TOI-1670 b and c: An Inner Sub-Neptune with an Outer Warm Jupiter Unlikely to have Originated from High-Eccentricity Migration

Kavli Affiliate: George R. Ricker | First 5 Authors: Quang H. Tran, Brendan P. Bowler, Michael Endl, William D. Cochran, Phillip J. MacQueen | Summary: We report the discovery of two transiting planets around the bright ($V=9.9$ mag) main sequence F7 star TOI-1670 by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite. TOI-1670 b is a sub-Neptune ($R_mathrm{b} […]

Probing squeezing for gravitational-wave detectors with an audio-band field

Kavli Affiliate: Lisa Barsotti | First 5 Authors: Dhruva Ganapathy, Victoria Xu, Wenxuan Jia, Chris Whittle, Maggie Tse | Summary: Squeezed vacuum states are now employed in gravitational-wave interferometric detectors, enhancing their sensitivity and thus enabling richer astrophysical observations. In future observing runs, the detectors will incorporate a filter cavity to suppress quantum radiation pressure […]

Uncovering the true periods of the young sub-Neptunes orbiting TOI-2076

Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Hugh P. Osborn, Andrea Bonfanti, Davide Gandolfi, Christina Hedges, Adrien Leleu | Summary: Context: TOI-2076 is a transiting three-planet system of sub-Neptunes orbiting a bright (G = 8.9 mag), young ($340pm80$ Myr) K-type star. Although a validated planetary system, the orbits of the two outer planets were […]

FIRE-3: Updated Stellar Evolution Models, Yields, & Microphysics and Fitting Functions for Applications in Galaxy Simulations

Kavli Affiliate: Lina Necib | First 5 Authors: Philip F. Hopkins, Andrew Wetzel, Coral Wheeler, Robyn Sanderson, Michael Y. Grudic | Summary: Increasingly, uncertainties in predictions from galaxy formation simulations (at sub-Milky Way masses) are dominated by uncertainties in stellar evolution inputs. In this paper, we present the full set of updates from the FIRE-2 […]

Biological error correction codes generate fault-tolerant neural networks

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Alexander Zlokapa, Andrew K. Tan, John M. Martyn, Max Tegmark, Isaac L. Chuang | Summary: It has been an open question in deep learning if fault-tolerant computation is possible: can arbitrarily reliable computation be achieved using only unreliable neurons? In the mammalian cortex, analog error correction codes […]
