Magnetospheric origin of a fast radio burst constrained using scintillation

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Kenzie Nimmo, Ziggy Pleunis, Paz Beniamini, Pawan Kumar, Adam E. Lanman | Summary: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are micro-to-millisecond duration radio transients that originate mostly from extragalactic distances. The emission mechanism responsible for these high luminosity, short duration transients remains debated. The models are broadly grouped […]

Bursty Star Formation in Dwarfs is Sensitive to Numerical Choices in Supernova Feedback Models

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Eric Zhang, Laura V Sales, Federico Marinacci, Paul Torrey, Mark Vogelsberger | Summary: Simulations of galaxy formation are mostly unable to resolve the energy-conserving phase of individual supernova events, having to resort to subgrid models to distribute the energy and momentum resulting from stellar feedback. However, the […]

HD 21520 b: a warm sub-Neptune transiting a bright G dwarf

Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Molly Nies, Ismael Mireles, François Bouchy, Diana Dragomir, Belinda A. Nicholson | Summary: We report the discovery and validation of HD 21520 b, a transiting planet found with TESS and orbiting a bright G dwarf (V=9.2, $T_{eff} = 5871 pm 62$ K, $R_{star} = 1.04pm 0.02, R_{odot}$). […]

DafnyBench: A Benchmark for Formal Software Verification

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Chloe Loughridge, Qinyi Sun, Seth Ahrenbach, Federico Cassano, Chuyue Sun | Summary: We introduce DafnyBench, the largest benchmark of its kind for training and evaluating machine learning systems for formal software verification. We test the ability of LLMs such as GPT-4 and Claude 3 to auto-generate enough […]

TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME) X: a two-planet system in the 210 Myr MELANGE-5 Association

Kavli Affiliate: George R. Ricker | First 5 Authors: Pa Chia Thao, Andrew W. Mann, Madyson G. Barber, Adam L. Kraus, Benjamin M. Tofflemire | Summary: Young (<500 Myr) planets are critical to studying how planets form and evolve. Among these young planetary systems, multi-planet configurations are particularly useful as they provide a means to […]

Trials and Tribulations in the Reanalysis of KELT-24 b: a Case Study for the Importance of Stellar Modeling

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Mark R. Giovinazzi, Bryson Cale, Jason D. Eastman, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Cullen H. Blake | Summary: We present a new analysis of the KELT-24 system, comprising a well-aligned hot Jupiter, KELT-24~b, and a bright ($V=8.3$), nearby ($d=96.9~mathrm{pc}$) F-type host star. KELT-24~b was independently discovered by two groups […]

Repeating nuclear transients from repeating partial tidal disruption events: reproducing ASASSN-14ko and AT2020vdq

Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj R. Pasham | First 5 Authors: Ananya Bandopadhyay, Eric R. Coughlin, C. J. Nixon, Dheeraj R. Pasham, | Summary: Some electromagnetic outbursts from the nuclei of distant galaxies have been found to repeat on months-to-years timescales, and each of these sources can putatively arise from the accretion flares generated through the repeated […]
