Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Veselin B. Kostov, Brian P. Powell, Saul A. Rappaport, Tamas Borkovits, Robert Gagliano | Summary: We present a catalog of 97 uniformly-vetted candidates for quadruple star systems. The candidates were identified in TESS Full Frame Image data from Sectors 1 through 42 through a combination of machine […]
Kavli Affiliate: Catherine E. Grant | First 5 Authors: Fabio Gastaldello, Martino Marelli, Silvano Molendi, Iacopo Bartalucci, Patrick Kühl | Summary: We analyzed the unexposed to the sky outFOV region of the MOS2 detector on board XMM-Newton covering 15 years of data amounting to 255 Ms. We show convincing evidence that the origin of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Stephanie O’Neil, Josh Borrow, Mark Vogelsberger, Benedikt Diemer, | Summary: We explore how the splashback radius ($R_{rm sp}$) of galaxy clusters, measured using the number density of the subhalo population, changes based on various selection criteria using the IllustrisTNG cosmological galaxy formation simulation. We identify $R_{rm sp}$ […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roland Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Michelle Kunimoto, Joshua N. Winn, George R. Ricker, Roland Vanderspek, | Summary: The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has discovered $sim$5000 planets and planet candidates after three and a half years of observations. With a planned second Extended Mission spanning Years 5 – 7 on the horizon, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Kang Yang, Daniel Varjas, Emil J. Bergholtz, Sid Morampudi, Frank Wilczek | Summary: We show that interactions in quantum spin liquids can result in non-Hermitian phenomenology that differs qualitatively from mean-field expectations. We demonstrate this in two prominent cases through the effects of phonons and disorder on […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi Masui | First 5 Authors: CHIME Collaboration, Mandana Amiri, Kevin Bandura, Tianyue Chen, Meiling Deng | Summary: We present a detection of 21-cm emission from large-scale structure (LSS) between redshift 0.78 and 1.43 made with the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME). Radio observations acquired over 102 nights are used to construct […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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’ […]
