Kavli Affiliate: Nergis Mavalvala | First 5 Authors: Chris Whittle, Evan D. Hall, Sheila Dwyer, Nergis Mavalvala, Vivishek Sudhir | Summary: The motion of a mechanical object — even a human-sized object — should be governed by the rules of quantum mechanics. Coaxing them into a quantum state is, however, difficult: the thermal environment masks […]
Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Bradford Snios, Daniel A. Schwartz, Aneta Siemiginowska, Małgosia Sobolewska, Mark Birkinshaw | Summary: We present Chandra X-ray observations of 14 radio-loud quasars at redshifts $3 < z < 4$, selected from a well-defined sample. All quasars are detected in the 0.5-7.0 keV energy band, and resolved […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paul L. Schechter | First 5 Authors: Richard Luhtaru, Paul L. Schechter, Kaylee M. de Soto, , | Summary: Among known strongly lensed quasar systems, ~25% have gravitational potentials sufficiently flat (and sources sufficiently well aligned) to produce four images rather than two. The projected flattening of the lensing galaxy and tides from […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alan M. Levine | First 5 Authors: Rebekah I. Dawson, Chelsea X. Huang, Rafael Brahm, Karen A. Collins, Melissa J. Hobson | Summary: TOI-216 hosts a pair of warm, large exoplanets discovered by the TESS Mission. These planets were found to be in or near the 2:1 resonance, and both of them exhibit […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gabor Furesz | First 5 Authors: Benjamin M. Tofflemire, Aaron C. Rizzuto, Elisabeth R. Newton, Adam L. Kraus, Andrew W. Mann | Summary: The detection and characterization of young planetary systems offers a direct path to study the processes that shape planet evolution. We report on the discovery of a sub-Neptune-size planet orbiting […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alan M. Levine | First 5 Authors: Elisabeth R. Newton, Andrew W. Mann, Adam L. Kraus, John H. Livingston, Andrew Vanderburg | Summary: Young exoplanets can offer insight into the evolution of planetary atmospheres, compositions, and architectures. We present the discovery of the young planetary system TOI 451 (TIC 257605131, Gaia DR2 4844691297067063424). […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Laura Wolz, Alkistis Pourtsidou, Kiyoshi W. Masui, Tzu-Ching Chang, Julian E. Bautista | Summary: We present the joint analysis of Neutral Hydrogen (HI) Intensity Mapping observations with three galaxy samples: the Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) and Emission Line Galaxy (ELG) samples from the eBOSS survey, and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: Scott A. Hughes, Niels Warburton, Gaurav Khanna, Alvin J. K. Chua, Michael L. Katz | Summary: We compute adiabatic waveforms for extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) by "stitching" together a long inspiral waveform from a sequence of waveform snapshots, each of which corresponds to a particular geodesic […]

Kavli Affiliate: Roland K. Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Mma Ikwut-Ukwa, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Samuel N. Quinn, George Zhou, Andrew Vanderburg | Summary: We report the discovery of two short-period massive giant planets from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). Both systems, TOI-558 (TIC 207110080) and TOI-559 (TIC 209459275), were identified from the 30-minute cadence […]
