The oldest stars with low neutron-capture element abundances and origins in ancient dwarf galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Hillary Diane Andales, Ananda Santos Figueiredo, Casey Gordon Fienberg, Mohammad K. Mardini, Anna Frebel | Summary: We present a detailed chemical abundance and kinematic analysis of six extremely metal-poor ($-4.2 leq$ [Fe/H] $leq-$2.9) halo stars with very low neutron-capture abundances ([Sr/H] and [Ba/H]) based on high-resolution Magellan/MIKE […]

Long term variability of Cygnus X-1. VIII. A spectral-timing look at low energies with NICER

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Ole König, Guglielmo Mastroserio, Thomas Dauser, Mariano Méndez, Jingyi Wang | Summary: The Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) monitoring campaign of Cyg X-1 allows us to study its spectral-timing behavior at energies ${<}1$ keV across all states. The hard state power spectrum can be decomposed into […]

Discovery of a shock-compressed magnetic field in the north-western rim of the young supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946 with X-ray polarimetry

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Riccardo Ferrazzoli, Dmitry Prokhorov, Niccolò Bucciantini, Patrick Slane, Jacco Vink | Summary: Supernova remnants (SNRs) provide insights into cosmic-ray acceleration and magnetic field dynamics at shock fronts. Recent X-ray polarimetric measurements by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) have revealed radial magnetic fields near particle acceleration […]

A systematic study of the ultra-fast outflow responses to luminosity variations in active galactic nuclei

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Yerong Xu, Ciro Pinto, Daniele Rogantini, Didier Barret, Stefano Bianchi | Summary: The extreme velocities and high ionization states of ultra-fast outflows (UFOs) make them a promising candidate for AGN feedback on the evolution of the host galaxy. However, their exact underlying driving mechanism is not yet […]

TOI-2447 b / NGTS-29 b: a 69-day Saturn around a Solar analogue

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Samuel Gill, Daniel Bayliss, Solène Ulmer-Moll, Peter J. Wheatley, Rafael Brahm | Summary: Discovering transiting exoplanets with relatively long orbital periods ($>$10 days) is crucial to facilitate the study of cool exoplanet atmospheres ($T_{rm eq} < 700 K$) and to understand exoplanet formation and inward migration further […]
