Kavli Affiliate: Saul A. Rappaport | First 5 Authors: Sarah Kubiak, Andrew Vanderburg, Juliette Becker, Bruce Gary, Saul A. Rappaport | Summary: WD 1856+534 b (or WD 1856 b for short) is the first known transiting planet candidate around a white dwarf star. WD 1856 b is about the size of Jupiter, has a mass […]
Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Alexandra Veledina, Fabio Muleri, Juri Poutanen, Jakub Podgorný, Michal Dovčiak | Summary: The accretion of matter by compact objects can be inhibited by radiation pressure if the luminosity exceeds the critical value, known as the Eddington limit. Discovery of ultraluminous X-ray sources has shown that accretion […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Natalí S. M. de Santi, Helen Shao, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, L. Raul Abramo, Romain Teyssier | Summary: We train graph neural networks to perform field-level likelihood-free inference using galaxy catalogs from state-of-the-art hydrodynamic simulations of the CAMELS project. Our models are rotational, translational, and permutation invariant and do […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ronald A. Remillard | First 5 Authors: Megan Masterson, Erin Kara, Dheeraj R. Pasham, Daniel J. D’Orazio, Dominic J. Walton | Summary: The nuclear transient AT2019cuk/Tick Tock/SDSS J1430+2303 has been suggested to harbor a supermassive black hole (SMBH) binary near coalescence. We report results from high-cadence NICER X-ray monitoring with multiple visits per […]

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Stuart Robert Anderson, Steven Gough-Kelly, Victor P. Debattista, Min Du, Peter Erwin | Summary: From the TNG50 cosmological simulation we build a sample of 191 well-resolved barred galaxies with a stellar mass $log M_star > 10$ at $z=0$. We search for box/peanut bulges (BPs) in this sample, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erin A. Kara | First 5 Authors: Y. Homayouni, Gisella De Rosa, Rachel Plesha, Gerard A. Kriss, Aaron J. Barth | Summary: We present reverberation mapping measurements for the prominent ultraviolet broad emission lines of the active galactic nucleus Mrk817 using 165 spectra obtained with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph on the Hubble Space […]

Kavli Affiliate: Deepto Chakrabarty | First 5 Authors: Pragati Pradhan, Carlo Ferrigno, Biswajit Paul, Enrico Bozzo, Ileyk El Mellah | Summary: Winds of massive stars are suspected to be inhomogeneous (or clumpy), which biases the measures of their mass loss rates. In High Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs), the compact object can be used as an […]
