The R-Process Alliance: Hunting for gold in the near-UV spectrum of 2MASS J05383296-5904280
Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Terese T. Hansen, Ian U. Roederer, Shivani P. Shah, Rana Ezzeddine, Timothy C. Beers | Summary: Context. Over the past few years, the $R$-Process Alliance (RPA) has successfully carried out a search for stars that are highly enhanced in elements produced via the rapid neutron-capture ($r$-) process. […]

Frequency-resolved time lags due to X-ray disk reprocessing in AGN
Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Christos Panagiotou, Iossif Papadakis, Erin Kara, Marios Papoutsis, Edward M. Cackett | Summary: Over the last years, a number of broadband reverberation mapping campaigns have been conducted to explore the short-term UV and optical variability of nearby AGN. Despite the extensive data collected, the origin of the […]

JWST’s First View of Tidal Disruption Events: Compact, Accretion-Driven Emission Lines & Strong Silicate Emission in an Infrared-selected Sample
Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Megan Masterson, Kishalay De, Christos Panagiotou, Erin Kara, Anna-Christina Eilers | Summary: Mid-infrared (MIR) emission from tidal disruption events (TDEs) is a powerful probe of the circumnuclear environment around dormant supermassive black holes. This emission arises from the reprocessing of intrinsic emission into thermal MIR emission by […]

Decoding the Galactic Twirl: The Downfall of Milky Way-mass Galaxies Rotation Curves in the FIRE Simulations
Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Xiaowei Ou, Lina Necib, Andrew Wetzel, Anna Frebel, Jeremy Bailin | Summary: Recent measurements of the Milky Way rotation curve found a sharp decline at around $15$-$20$ kpc from the center of the Galaxy, suggesting that the Galactic dark matter halo is much less massive than predicted […]

An Oasis in the Brown Dwarf Desert: Confirmation of Two Low-mass Transiting Brown Dwarfs Discovered by TESS
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Elina Y. Zhang, Theron W. Carmichael, Daniel Huber, Keivan G. Stassun, Akihiko Fukui | Summary: As the intermediate-mass siblings of stars and planets, brown dwarfs (BDs) are vital to study for a better understanding of how objects change across the planet-to-star mass range. Here, we report two […]
