Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Nadiia M. Kostogryz, Alexander I. Shapiro, Veronika Witzke, Robert H. Cameron, Laurent Gizon | Summary: Stars appear darker at their limbs than at their disk centers because at the limb we are viewing the higher and cooler layers of stellar photospheres. Limb darkening derived from state-of-the-art stellar […]

Kavli Affiliate: Roland Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Michele L. Silverstein, Thomas Barclay, Joshua E. Schlieder, Karen A. Collins, Richard P. Schwarz | Summary: The nearby LHS 1678 (TOI-696) system contains two confirmed planets and a wide-orbit, likely-brown-dwarf companion, which orbit an M2 dwarf with a unique evolutionary history. The host star occupies a narrow […]

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Connor A. Painter, Michael Boylan-Kolchin, Philip Mocz, Mark Vogelsberger, | Summary: Fuzzy Dark Matter (FDM) comprised of ultralight ($m sim 10^{-22}~rm{eV}$) boson particles has received significant attention as a viable alternative to Cold Dark Matter (CDM), as it approximates CDM on large scales ($gtrsim 1$ Mpc) while […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Aneesh Sivasankaran, Laura Blecha, Paul Torrey, Luke Zoltan Kelley, Aklant Bhowmick | Summary: Feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN) can strongly impact the host galaxies by driving high-velocity winds that impart substantial energy and momentum to the interstellar medium (ISM). In this work, we study the impact […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Jubee Sohn, Margaret J. Geller, Josh Borrow, Mark Vogelsberger, | Summary: We examine the central stellar velocity dispersion of subhalos based on IllustrisTNG cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. The central velocity dispersion is a fundamental observable that links galaxies with their dark matter subhalos. We carefully explore simulated stellar […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lisa Barsotti | First 5 Authors: Alessandra Corsi, Lisa Barsotti, Emanuele Berti, Matthew Evans, Ish Gupta | Summary: The ground-based gravitational wave (GW) detectors LIGO and Virgo have enabled the birth of multi-messenger GW astronomy via the detection of GWs from merging stellar-mass black holes (BHs) and neutron stars (NSs). GW170817, the first […]
