Interpretable contrastive word mover’s embedding

Kavli Affiliate: Eric Miller | First 5 Authors: Ruijie Jiang, Julia Gouvea, Eric Miller, David Hammer, Shuchin Aeron | Summary: This paper shows that a popular approach to the supervised embedding of documents for classification, namely, contrastive Word Mover’s Embedding, can be significantly enhanced by adding interpretability. This interpretability is achieved by incorporating a clustering […]

On measuring the Hubble constant with X-ray reverberation mapping of active galactic nuclei

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Adam Ingram, Guglielmo Mastroserio, Michiel van der Klis, Edward Nathan, Riley Connors | Summary: We show that X-ray reverberation mapping can be used to measure the distance to type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs). This is because X-ray photons originally emitted from the `corona’ close to the […]

First Doppler Limits on Binary Planets and Exomoons in the HR 8799 System

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Andrew Vanderburg, Joseph E. Rodriguez, , , | Summary: We place the first constraints on binary planets and exomoons from Doppler monitoring of directly imaged exoplanets. We model radial velocity observations of HR 8799 b, c, and d from Ruffio et al. (2021) and determine upper limits […]

Gemini/GMOS Transmission Spectroscopy of the Grazing Planet Candidate WD 1856+534 b

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Siyi Xu, Hannah Diamond-Lowe, Ryan J. MacDonald, Andrew Vanderburg, Simon Blouin | Summary: WD 1856+534 b is a Jupiter-sized, cool giant planet candidate transiting the white dwarf WD 1856+534. Here, we report an optical transmission spectrum of WD 1856+534 b obtained from ten transits using the Gemini […]

The Cosmic Ultraviolet Baryon Survey (CUBS) IV: The Complex Multiphase Circumgalactic Medium as Revealed by Partial Lyman Limit Systems

Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Thomas J. Cooper, Gwen C. Rudie, Hsiao-Wen Chen, Sean D. Johnson, Fakhri S. Zahedy | Summary: We present a detailed study of two partial Lyman limit systems (pLLSs) of neutral hydrogen column density $N_mathrm{H,I}approx(1-3)times10^{16},mathrm{cm}^{-2}$ discovered at $z=0.5$ in the Cosmic Ultraviolet Baryon Survey (CUBS). Available far-ultraviolet […]

An axion dark matter-induced echo of supernova remnants

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi Masui | First 5 Authors: Yitian Sun, Katelin Schutz, Anjali Nambrath, Calvin Leung, Kiyoshi Masui | Summary: Axions are a theoretically promising dark matter (DM) candidate. In the presence of radiation from bright astrophysical sources at radio frequencies, nonrelativistic DM axions can undergo stimulated decay to two nearly back-to-back photons, meaning that […]

TESS Eclipsing Binary Stars. I. Short cadence observations of 4584 eclipsing binaries in Sectors 1-26

Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Andrej Prsa, Angela Kochoska, Kyle E. Conroy, Nora Eisner, Daniel R. Hey | Summary: In this paper we present a catalog of 4584 eclipsing binaries observed during the first two years (26 sectors) of the TESS survey. We discuss selection criteria for eclipsing binary candidates, detection of […]

Mass of the dynamically hot inner stellar halo predicts the ancient accreted stellar mass

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Ling Zhu, Annalisa Pillepich, Glenn van de Ven, Ryan Leaman, Lars Hernquist | Summary: Galactic dynamical structures are fossil records of the assembly histories of galaxies. By analyzing the cosmological hydrodynamical simulation TNG50, we find that a dynamical structure that we call the "hot inner stellar halo," […]

The LHS 1678 System: Two Earth-Sized Transiting Planets and an Astrometric Companion Orbiting an M Dwarf Near the Convective Boundary at 20 pc

Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Michele L. Silverstein, Joshua E. Schlieder, Thomas Barclay, Benjamin J. Hord, Wei-Chun Jao | Summary: We present the TESS discovery of the LHS 1678 (TOI-696) exoplanet system, comprised of two approximately Earth-sized transiting planets and a likely astrometric brown dwarf orbiting a bright ($V_J$=12.5, $K_s$=8.3) M2 dwarf […]
