Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Shishir Dholakia, Larissa Palethorpe, Alexander Venner, Annelies Mortier, Thomas G. Wilson | Summary: We report on the discovery of Gliese 12 b, the nearest transiting temperate, Earth-sized planet found to date. Gliese 12 is a bright ($V=12.6$ mag, $K=7.8$ mag) metal-poor M4V star only $12.162pm0.005$ pc away […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Yuhan Yao, Muryel Guolo, Francesco Tombesi, Ruancun Li, Suvi Gezari | Summary: We present the tidal disruption event (TDE) AT2022lri, hosted in a nearby ($approx!144$ Mpc) quiescent galaxy with a low-mass massive black hole ($10^4,M_odot < M_{rm BH} < 10^6,M_odot$). AT2022lri belongs to the TDE-H+He subtype. More […]
Kavli Affiliate: David A. Principe | First 5 Authors: William Grimble, Joel Kastner, Christophe Pinte, Beth Sargent, David A. Principe | Summary: Our understanding of how exoplanets form and evolve relies on analyses of both the mineralogy of protoplanetary disks and their detailed structures; however, these key complementary aspects of disks are usually studied separately. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Sam Christian, Andrew Vanderburg, Juliette Becker, Adam L. Kraus, Logan Pearce | Summary: Studying the relative orientations of the orbits of exoplanets and wide-orbiting binary companions (semimajor axis greater than 100 AU) can shed light on how planets form and evolve in binary systems. Previous observations by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Mary Anne Limbach, Johanna M. Vos, Andrew Vanderburg, Fei Dai, | Summary: We conduct a comprehensive search for transiting exomoons and exosatellites within 44 archival Spitzer light curves of 32 substellar worlds with estimated masses ranging between 3-30M$_{rm Jup}$. This sample’s median host mass is 16M$_{rm Jup}$, […]

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Juri Poutanen, Sergey S. Tsygankov, Victor Doroshenko, Sofia V. Forsblom, Peter Jenke | Summary: Discovery of pulsations from a number of ultra-luminous X-ray (ULX) sources proved that accretion onto neutron stars can produce luminosities exceeding the Eddington limit by a couple of orders of magnitude. The […]
