Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Hui Li, Mark Vogelsberger, Greg L. Bryan, Federico Marinacci, Laura V. Sales | Summary: Galaxy mergers are known to host abundant young massive cluster (YMC) populations, whose formation mechanism is still not well-understood. Here, we present a high-resolution galaxy merger simulation with explicit star formation and stellar […]
Kavli Affiliate: David H. Shoemaker | First 5 Authors: Matthew Evans, Rana X Adhikari, Chaitanya Afle, Stefan W. Ballmer, Sylvia Biscoveanu | Summary: This Horizon Study describes a next-generation ground-based gravitational-wave observatory: Cosmic Explorer. With ten times the sensitivity of Advanced LIGO, Cosmic Explorer will push gravitational-wave astronomy towards the edge of the observable universe […]

Ballmer, Sylvia Biscoveanu | Summary: This Horizon Study describes a next-generation ground-based gravitational-wave observatory: Cosmic Explorer. With ten times the sensitivity of Advanced LIGO, Cosmic Explorer will push gravitational-wave astronomy towards the edge of the observable universe ($z […]
Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Ziming Liu, Max Tegmark, , , | Summary: We present an automated method for finding hidden symmetries, defined as symmetries that become manifest only in a new coordinate system that must be discovered. Its core idea is to quantify asymmetry as violation of certain partial differential equations, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Benjamin J. Hord, Knicole D. Colón, Veselin Kostov, Brianna Galgano, George R. Ricker | Summary: We present the results of a uniform search for additional planets around all stars with confirmed hot Jupiters observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) in its Cycle 1 survey of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi Masui | First 5 Authors: Savannah Cary, Juan Mena-Parra, Calvin Leung, Kiyoshi Masui, J. F. Kaczmarek | Summary: As the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) has become the leading instrument for detecting Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), CHIME/FRB Outriggers will use very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) to localize FRBs with milliarcsecond precision. The CHIME […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew M. Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Alexis Heitzmann, George Zhou, Samuel N. Quinn, Stephen C. Marsden, Duncan Wright | Summary: HIP 67522 b is a 17 Myr old, close-in ($P_{orb} = 6.96$ d), Jupiter-sized ($R = 10,R_{oplus}$) transiting planet orbiting a Sun like star in the Sco-Cen OB association. We present our […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roland K. Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Emily A. Gilbert, Thomas Barclay, Elisa V. Quintana, Lucianne M. Walkowicz, Laura D. Vega | Summary: AU Mic is a young ($sim$24 Myr), pre-Main Sequence M~dwarf star that was observed in the first month of science observations of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and re-observed […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Lars Lund Thomsen, Jane Lixin Dai, Erin Kara, Chris Reynolds, | Summary: X-ray reverberation is a powerful technique which maps out the structure of the inner regions of accretion disks around black holes using the echoes of the coronal emission reflected by the disk. While the theory […]
Kavli Affiliate: Christopher J. Burke | First 5 Authors: Michael Fausnaugh, Ed Morgan, Roland Vanderspek, Joshua Pepper, Christopher J. Burke | Summary: We describe the target selection procedure by which stars are selected for 2-minute and 20-second observations by TESS. We first list the technical requirements of the TESS instrument and ground systems processing that […]
