Kavli Affiliate: George Ricker | First 5 Authors: Michelle Kunimoto, Tansu Daylan, Natalia Guerrero, William Fong, Steve Bryson | Summary: We present the detection of 1,617 new transiting planet candidates, identified in the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) full-frame images (FFIs) observed during the Primary Mission (Sectors 1 – 26). These candidates were initially detected […]
Kavli Affiliate: George R. Ricker | First 5 Authors: Kristine W. F. Lam, Szilárd Csizmadia, Nicola Astudillo-Defru, Xavier Bonfils, Davide Gandolfi | Summary: Ultra-short-period (USP) exoplanets have orbital periods shorter than one day. Precise masses and radii of USPs could provide constraints on their unknown formation and evolution processes. We report the detection and characterization […]

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Martin C. Weisskopf, Paolo Soffitta, Luca Baldini, Brian D. Ramsey, Stephen L. O’Dell | Summary: Scheduled to launch in late 2021, the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) is a NASA Small Explorer Mission in collaboration with the Italian Space Agency (ASI). The mission will open a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Robert A. Wittenmyer, Jake T. Clark, Trifon Trifonov, Brett C. Addison, Duncan J. Wright | Summary: The imminent launch of space telescopes designed to probe the atmospheres of exoplanets has prompted new efforts to prioritise the thousands of transiting planet candidates for follow-up characterisation. We report the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: William Bains, Oliver Shorttle, Sukrit Ranjan, Paul B. Rimmer, Janusz J. Petkowski | Summary: The initial reports of the presence of phosphine in the cloud decks of Venus has led to the suggestion that volcanism was the source of phosphine, through volcanic phosphides ejected into the clouds. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Sandro Tacchella, Aaron Smith, Rahul Kannan, Federico Marinacci, Lars Hernquist | Summary: The nebular recombination line H$alpha$ is widely used as a star-formation rate (SFR) indicator in the local and high-redshift Universe. We present a detailed H$alpha$ radiative transfer study of high-resolution isolated Milky-Way and Large Magellanic […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Aaron Smith, Rahul Kannan, Sandro Tacchella, Mark Vogelsberger, Lars Hernquist | Summary: Hydrogen emission lines can provide extensive information about star-forming galaxies in both the local and high-redshift Universe. We present a detailed Lyman continuum (LyC), Lyman-alpha (Ly{alpha}), and Balmer line (H{alpha} and Hb{eta}) radiative transfer study […]
Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Sylvia Biscoveanu, Colm Talbot, Salvatore Vitale, , | Summary: The binary neutron star (BNS) mass distribution measured with gravitational-wave observations has the potential to reveal information about the dense matter equation of state, supernova physics, the expansion rate of the universe, and tests of General Relativity. As […]
