Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Anna-Christina Eilers, Joseph F. Hennawi, Frederick B. Davies, Robert A. Simcoe, | Summary: The extents of proximity zones of high-redshift quasars enable constraints on the timescales of quasar activity, which are fundamental for understanding the growth of the supermassive black holes (SMBHs) that power the quasars’ […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Ricker | First 5 Authors: Étienne Artigau, Guillaume Hébrard, Charles Cadieux, Thomas Vandal, Neil J. Cook | Summary: We present the discovery of an $18.5pm0.5$M$_{rm Jup}$ brown dwarf (BD) companion to the M0V star TOI-1278. The system was first identified through a percent-deep transit in TESS photometry; further analysis showed it to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Ziggy Pleunis, Deborah C. Good, Victoria M. Kaspi, Ryan Mckinven, Scott M. Ransom | Summary: We present a synthesis of fast radio burst (FRB) morphology (the change in flux as a function of time and frequency) as detected in the 400-800 MHz octave by the FRB […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Masoud Rafiei-Ravandi, Kendrick M. Smith, Dongzi Li, Kiyoshi W. Masui, Alexander Josephy | Summary: The CHIME/FRB Project has recently released its first catalog of fast radio bursts (FRBs), containing 492 unique sources. We present results from angular cross-correlations of CHIME/FRB sources with galaxy catalogs. We find […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: The CHIME/FRB Collaboration, :, Mandana Amiri, Bridget C. Andersen, Kevin Bandura | Summary: We present a catalog of 536 fast radio bursts (FRBs) detected by the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment Fast Radio Burst (CHIME/FRB) Project between 400 and 800 MHz from 2018 July 25 to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Saul Rappaport | First 5 Authors: Zachary P. Vanderbosch, Saul Rappaport, Joseph A. Guidry, Bruce L. Gary, Simon Blouin | Summary: We present follow-up photometry and spectroscopy of ZTF J0328$-$1219 strengthening its status as a white dwarf exhibiting transiting planetary debris. Using TESS and Zwicky Transient Facility photometry, along with follow-up high speed […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eric Miller | First 5 Authors: Yukikatsu Terada, Matt Holland, Michael Loewenstein, Makoto Tashiro, Hiromitsu Takahashi | Summary: XRISM is an X-ray astronomical mission by the JAXA, NASA, ESA and other international participants, that is planned for launch in 2022 (Japanese fiscal year), to quickly restore high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy of astrophysical objects. To […]
Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Thomas A. Callister, Carl-Johan Haster, Ken K. Y. Ng, Salvatore Vitale, Will M. Farr | Summary: Hierarchical analysis of the binary black hole (BBH) detections by the Advanced LIGO and Virgo detectors has offered an increasingly clear picture of their mass, spin, and redshift distributions. Fully understanding […]
Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Ziming Liu, Bohan Wang, Qi Meng, Wei Chen, Max Tegmark | Summary: Energy conservation is a basic physics principle, the breakdown of which often implies new physics. This paper presents a method for data-driven "new physics" discovery. Specifically, given a trajectory governed by unknown forces, our Neural […]
Kavli Affiliate: Saul A. Rappaport | First 5 Authors: Veselin B. Kostov, Brian P. Powell, Guillermo Torres, Tamas Borkovits, Saul A. Rappaport | Summary: We report the discovery of a compact, coplanar, quadruply-lined, eclipsing quadruple star system from TESS data, TIC 454140642, also known as TYC 0074-01254-1. The target was first detected in Sector 5 […]
