Evaluating and Enhancing Candidate Clocking Systems for CHIME/FRB VLBI Outriggers

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi Masui | First 5 Authors: Savannah Cary, Juan Mena-Parra, Calvin Leung, Kiyoshi Masui, J. F. Kaczmarek | Summary: As the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) has become the leading instrument for detecting Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), CHIME/FRB Outriggers will use very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) to localize FRBs with milliarcsecond precision. The CHIME […]

The obliquity of HIP 67522 b: a 17 Myr old transiting hot Jupiter-sized planet

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew M. Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Alexis Heitzmann, George Zhou, Samuel N. Quinn, Stephen C. Marsden, Duncan Wright | Summary: HIP 67522 b is a 17 Myr old, close-in ($P_{orb} = 6.96$ d), Jupiter-sized ($R = 10,R_{oplus}$) transiting planet orbiting a Sun like star in the Sco-Cen OB association. We present our […]

Relativistic X-ray reverberation from super-Eddington accretion flow

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Lars Lund Thomsen, Jane Lixin Dai, Erin Kara, Chris Reynolds, | Summary: X-ray reverberation is a powerful technique which maps out the structure of the inner regions of accretion disks around black holes using the echoes of the coronal emission reflected by the disk. While the theory […]

The TESS Mission Target Selection Procedure

Kavli Affiliate: Christopher J. Burke | First 5 Authors: Michael Fausnaugh, Ed Morgan, Roland Vanderspek, Joshua Pepper, Christopher J. Burke | Summary: We describe the target selection procedure by which stars are selected for 2-minute and 20-second observations by TESS. We first list the technical requirements of the TESS instrument and ground systems processing that […]

Three roads to the geometric constraint formulation of gravitational theories with boundaries

Kavli Affiliate: J. S. Villasenor | First 5 Authors: Fernando Barbero, Marc Basquens, Valle Varo, Eduardo J. S. Villaseñor, | Summary: The Hamiltonian description of mechanical or field models defined by singular Lagrangians plays a central role in physics. A number of methods are known for this purpose, the most popular of them being the […]

Machine-Learning media bias

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Samantha D’Alonzo, Max Tegmark, , , | Summary: We present an automated method for measuring media bias. Inferring which newspaper published a given article, based only on the frequencies with which it uses different phrases, leads to a conditional probability distribution whose analysis lets us automatically map […]
