Detecting Acoherence in Radiation Fields

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Sreenath K. Manikandan, Frank Wilczek, , , | Summary: We propose simple quantitative criteria, based on counting statistics in resonant harmonic detectors, that probe the quantum mechanical character of radiation fields. They provide, in particular, practical means to test the null hypothesis that a given field is […]

Tidally Heated Sub-Neptunes, Refined Planetary Compositions, and Confirmation of a Third Planet in the TOI-1266 System

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Michael Greklek-McKeon, Shreyas Vissapragada, Heather A. Knutson, Akihiko Fukui, Morgan Saidel | Summary: TOI-1266 is a benchmark system of two temperate ($<$ 450 K) sub-Neptune-sized planets orbiting a nearby M dwarf exhibiting a rare inverted architecture with a larger interior planet. In this study, we characterize transit […]

StreamGen: Connecting Populations of Streams and Shells to Their Host Galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Lina Necib | First 5 Authors: Adriana Dropulic, Nora Shipp, Stacy Kim, Zeineb Mezghanni, Lina Necib | Summary: In this work, we study how the abundance and dynamics of populations of disrupting satellite galaxies change systematically as a function of host galaxy properties. We apply a theoretical model of the phase-mixing process to […]

Revealing the state transition of Cen X-3 at high spectral resolution with Chandra

Kavli Affiliate: Norbert Schulz | First 5 Authors: Graciela Sanjurjo-Ferrín, Jose Miguel Torrejón, Lida Oskinova, Konstantin Postnov, Jose Joaquín Rodes-Roca | Summary: Cen X-3 is a compact, high-mass X-ray binary (HMXRB), likely powered by Roche lobe overflow. We present a phase-resolved X-ray spectral and timing analysis of a target of opportunity textit{Chandra} observation made during […]

A search for persistent radio sources toward repeating fast radio bursts discovered by CHIME/FRB

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Adaeze L. Ibik, Maria R. Drout, Bryan M. Gaensler, Paul Scholz, Navin Sridhar | Summary: The identification of persistent radio sources (PRSs) coincident with two repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) supports FRB theories requiring a compact central engine. However, deep non-detections in other cases highlight the […]
