Kavli Affiliate: David Principe | First 5 Authors: Philipp Weber, Sebastián Pérez, Greta Guidi, Nicolás T. Kurtovic, Alice Zurlo | Summary: Dense stellar environments as hosts of ongoing star formation increase the probability of gravitational encounters among stellar systems during the early stages of evolution. Stellar interaction may occur through non-recurring, hyperbolic or parabolic passages […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Clark | First 5 Authors: Stefan Duling, Joachim Saur, George Clark, Frederic Allegrini, Thomas Greathouse | Summary: On June 7th, 2021 the Juno spacecraft visited Ganymede and provided the first in situ observations since Galileo’s last flyby in 2000. The measurements obtained along a one-dimensional trajectory can be brought into global context […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eric D. Miller | First 5 Authors: Ralph Kraft, Maxim Markevitch, Caroline Kilbourne, Joseph S. Adams, Hiroki Akamatsu | Summary: The Line Emission Mapper (LEM) is an X-ray Probe for the 2030s that will answer the outstanding questions of the Universe’s structure formation. It will also provide transformative new observing capabilities for every […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Michelle Kunimoto, Evan Tey, Willie Fong, Katharine Hesse, Avi Shporer | Summary: We present High-Level Science Products (HLSPs) containing light curves from MIT’s Quick-Look Pipeline (QLP) from the second year of TESS’ first Extended Mission (Sectors 40 – 55; 2021 July – 2022 September). In total, 12.2 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lee McCuller | First 5 Authors: Lee McCuller, , , , | Summary: The Michelson interferometer is a cornerstone of experimental physics. Its applications range from providing first impressions of wave interference in educational settings to probing spacetime at minuscule precision scales. Interferometer precision provides a unique view of the fundamental medium of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Edward H. Morgan | First 5 Authors: Samuel K. Grunblatt, Nicholas Saunders, Ashley Chontos, Soichiro Hattori, Dimitri Veras | Summary: The fate of planets around rapidly evolving stars is not well understood. Previous studies have suggested that relative to the main sequence population, planets transiting evolved stars ($P$ $<$ 100 d) tend to […]

Kavli Affiliate: Lina Necib | First 5 Authors: Shuyu Wang, Lina Necib, Alexander P. Ji, Xiaowei Ou, Mariangela Lisanti | Summary: Nyx is a nearby, prograde, and high-eccentricity stellar stream physically contained in the thick disk but with an unknown origin. Nyx could be the remnant of a disrupted dwarf galaxy, in which case the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jacqueline N. Hewitt | First 5 Authors: Michael Pagano, Jing Liu, Adrian Liu, Nicholas S. Kern, Aaron Ewall-Wice | Summary: Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) is one of the systematic challenges preventing 21cm interferometric instruments from detecting the Epoch of Reionization. To mitigate the effects of RFI on data analysis pipelines, numerous inpaint techniques […]
