Kavli Affiliate: Catherine E. Grant | First 5 Authors: Benjamin Schneider, Gregory Prigozhin, Richard F. Foster, Marshall W. Bautz, Hope Fu | Summary: The advent of back-illuminated complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) sensors and their well-known advantages over charge-coupled devices (CCDs) make them an attractive technology for future X-ray missions. However, numerous challenges remain, including improving their […]

Kavli Affiliate: George Ricker | First 5 Authors: Rahul Jayaraman, Saul Rappaport, Brian Powell, Gerald Handler, Mark Omohundro | Summary: The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has enabled the discovery of numerous tidally tilted pulsators (TTPs), which are pulsating stars in close binaries where the presence of a tidal bulge has the effect of tilting […]

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Tri Nguyen, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Siddharth Mishra-Sharma, Carolina Cuesta-Lazaro, Paul Torrey | Summary: The connection between galaxies and their host dark matter (DM) halos is critical to our understanding of cosmology, galaxy formation, and DM physics. To maximize the return of upcoming cosmological surveys, we need an accurate […]

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Margherita Giustini, Giovanni Miniutti, Riccardo Arcodia, Adelle Goodwin, Kate D. Alexander | Summary: Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are an extreme X-ray variability phenomenon associated with low-mass supermassive black holes. First discovered in the nucleus of the galaxy GSN 069, they have been so far securely detected in five […]
