Curved detectors for future X-ray astrophysics missions

Kavli Affiliate: Catherine E. Grant | 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 […]

Absence of a Correlation between White Dwarf Planetary Accretion and Primordial Stellar Metallicity

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Sydney Jenkins, Andrew Vanderburg, Allyson Bieryla, David W. Latham, Mariona Badenas-Agusti | Summary: Over a quarter of white dwarfs have photospheric metal pollution, which is evidence for recent accretion of exoplanetary material. While a wide range of mechanisms have been proposed to account for this pollution, there […]

A Potential Second Shutoff from AT2018fyk: An updated Orbital Ephemeris of the Surviving Star under the Repeating Partial Tidal Disruption Event Paradigm

Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj Pasham | First 5 Authors: Dheeraj Pasham, Eric Coughlin, Muryel Guolo, Thomas Wevers, Chris Nixon | Summary: The tidal disruption event (TDE) AT2018dyk/ASASSN-18UL showed a rapid dimming event 500 days after discovery, followed by a re-brightening roughly 700 days later. It has been hypothesized that this behavior results from a repeating partial […]

Emergence of a radio jet in the changing-look AGN 1ES 1927+654

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Eileen T. Meyer, Sibasish Laha, Onic I. Shuvo, Agniva Roychowdhury, David A. Green | Summary: We present multi-frequency (5-345 GHz) and multi-resolution radio observations of 1ES 1927+654, widely considered one of the most unusual and extreme changing-look active galactic nuclei (CL-AGN). The source was first designated a […]

Correlated mid-infrared and X-ray outbursts in black hole X-ray binaries: A new route to discovery in infrared surveys

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Chris John, Kishalay De, Matteo Lucchini, Ehud Behar, Erin Kara | Summary: The mid-infrared (MIR; $lambdasimeq3 – 10mu$m) bands offer a unique window into understanding accretion and its interplay with jet formation in Galactic black hole X-ray binaries (BHXRBs). Although extremely difficult to observe from the ground, […]

Nonparametric analysis of correlations in the binary black hole population with LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA data

Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Jack Heinzel, Matthew Mould, Salvatore Vitale, , | Summary: Formation channels of merging compact binaries imprint themselves on the distributions and correlations of their source parameters. But current understanding of this population observed in gravitational waves is hindered by simplified parametric models. We overcome these limitations using […]
