TESS Investigation — Demographics of Young Exoplanets (TI-DYE) II: a second giant planet in the 17-Myr system HIP 67522

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Madyson G. Barber, Pa Chia Thao, Andrew W. Mann, Andrew Vanderburg, Mayuko Mori | Summary: The youngest ($<$50 Myr) planets are vital to understand planet formation and early evolution. The 17 Myr system HIP 67522 is already known to host a giant ($simeq$10$R_oplus$) planet on a tight […]

Surviving in the Hot Neptune Desert: The Discovery of the Ultra-Hot Neptune TOI-3261b

Kavli Affiliate: George R. Ricker | First 5 Authors: Emma Nabbie, Chelsea X. Huang, Jennifer A. Burt, David J. Armstrong, Eric E. Mamajek | Summary: The recent discoveries of Neptune-sized ultra-short period planets (USPs) challenge existing planet formation theories. It is unclear whether these residents of the Hot Neptune Desert have similar origins to smaller, […]

AGN STORM 2: VIII. Investigating the Narrow Absorption Lines in Mrk 817 Using HST-COS Observations

Kavli Affiliate: Erin A. Kara | First 5 Authors: Maryam Dehghanian, Nahum Arav, Gerard A. Kriss, Missagh Mehdipour, Doyee Byun | Summary: We observed the Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk817 during an intensive multi-wavelength reverberation mapping campaign for 16 months. Here, we examine the behavior of narrow UV absorption lines seen in HST/COS spectra, both during […]

Simulating FRB Morphologies and Coherent Phase Correlation Signatures from Multi-Plane Astrophysical Lensing

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Zarif Kader, Matt Dobbs, Calvin Leung, Kiyoshi W. Masui, Mawson W. Sammons | Summary: Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), like pulsars, display radio emission from compact regions such that they can be treated as point sources. As this radiation propagates through space, they encounter sources of lensing […]

Aligning Planet-Hosting Binaries via Dissipative Precession in Circumstellar Disks

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Konstantin Gerbig, Malena Rice, J. J. Zanazzi, Sam Christian, Andrew Vanderburg | Summary: Recent observations have demonstrated that some subset of even moderately wide-separation planet-hosting binaries are preferentially configured such that planetary and binary orbits appear to lie within the same plane. In this work, we explore […]

The Remarkable Robustness of LLMs: Stages of Inference?

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Vedang Lad, Wes Gurnee, Max Tegmark, , | Summary: We demonstrate and investigate the remarkable robustness of Large Language Models by deleting and swapping adjacent layers. We find that deleting and swapping interventions retain 72-95% of the original model’s prediction accuracy without fine-tuning, whereas models with more […]

Curved detectors for future X-ray astrophysics missions

Kavli Affiliate: Eric D. Miller | First 5 Authors: Eric D. Miller, James A. Gregory, Marshall W. Bautz, Harry R. Clark, Michael Cooper | Summary: Future X-ray astrophysics missions will survey large areas of the sky with unparalleled sensitivity, enabled by lightweight, high-resolution optics. These optics inherently produce curved focal surfaces with radii as small […]
