Kavli Affiliate: George R. Ricker | First 5 Authors: Marc Hon, Saul Rappaport, Avi Shporer, Andrew Vanderburg, Karen A. Collins | Summary: We report the discovery of BD+05$,$4868$,$Ab, a transiting exoplanet orbiting a bright ($V=10.16$) K-dwarf (TIC 466376085) with a period of 1.27 days. Observations from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) reveal variable transit […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Juliana Ehrhardt, Luis Thomas, Hanna Kellermann, Christine Freitag, Frank Grupp | Summary: We report the confirmation and characterization of four hot Jupiter-type exoplanets initially detected by TESS: TOI-1295 b, TOI-2580 b, TOI-6016 b, and TOI-6130 b. Using observations with the high-resolution echelle spectrograph MaHPS on the 2.1m […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lina Necib | First 5 Authors: Francisco J. Mercado, Jorge Moreno, Robert Feldmann, Marckie Zeender, Jose A. Benavides Blanco | Summary: We utilize the cosmological volume simulation, FIREbox, to investigate how a galaxy’s environment influences its size and dark matter content. Our study focuses on approximately 1,200 galaxies (886 central and 332 satellite […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael McDonald | First 5 Authors: Maria Sadikov, Julie Hlavacek-Larrondo, Laurence Perreault Levasseur, Carter Lee Rhea, Michael McDonald | Summary: We present an analysis of the X-ray properties of the galaxy cluster population in the z=0 snapshot of the IllustrisTNG simulations, utilizing machine learning techniques to perform clustering and regression tasks. We examine […]

Benavides | Summary: We utilize the cosmological volume simulation, FIREbox, to investigate how a galaxy’s environment influences its size and dark matter content. Our study focuses on approximately 1,200 galaxies (886 central and 332 satellite halos) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael McDonald | First 5 Authors: Julie Hlavacek-Larrondo, Hyunseop Choi, Minghao Guo, Annabelle Richard-Laferrière, Carter Rhea | Summary: We present Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph observations from the Hubble Space Telescope of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) at the center of PKS0745-191, a brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) undergoing powerful radio-mode AGN feedback ($P_{rm cav}sim5times10^{45}$ […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj R. Pasham | First 5 Authors: Thomas Wevers, Muryel Guolo, Sean Lockwood, Andrew Mummery, Dheeraj R. Pasham | Summary: X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are a novel mode of variability in nearby galactic nuclei whose origin remains unknown. Their multi-wavelength properties are poorly constrained, as studies have focused almost entirely on the X-ray […]

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Sibasish Laha, Eileen T. Meyer, Dev R. Sadaula, Ritesh Ghosh, Dhrubojyoti Sengupta | Summary: We present results from a high cadence multi-wavelength observational campaign of the enigmatic changing look AGN 1ES 1927+654 from May 2022- April 2024, coincident with an unprecedented radio flare (an increase in flux […]
Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Maxim Chernodub, Frank Wilczek, , , | Summary: We argue that the rotation of a thin superconducting cylinder can increase the critical temperature of the superconducting phase transition substantially. The phenomenon can be interpreted as an effective negative moment of inertia associated with condensation of Cooper pairs. […]
