Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Drake A. Lehmann, Andrew Vanderburg, , , | Summary: Data from the Kepler space telescope have led to the discovery of thousands of planet candidates. Most of these candidates are likely to be real exoplanets, but a significant number of false positives still contaminate the sample, especially […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Adam E. Lanman, Shion Andrew, Mattias Lazda, Vishwangi Shah, Mandana Amiri | Summary: Localizing fast radio bursts (FRBs) to their host galaxies is an essential step to better understanding their origins and using them as cosmic probes. The CHIME/FRB Outrigger program aims to add VLBI-localization capabilities […]

Kavli Affiliate: Roland Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Ashley Chontos, Daniel Huber, Samuel K. Grunblatt, Nicholas Saunders, Joshua N. Winn | Summary: We present a dedicated transit and radial velocity survey of planets orbiting subgiant stars observed by the TESS Mission. Using $sim$$16$ nights on Keck/HIRES, we confirm and characterize $12$ new transiting planets — […]

Kavli Affiliate: David Shoemaker | First 5 Authors: Monica Colpi, Karsten Danzmann, Martin Hewitson, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Philippe Jetzer | Summary: The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is the first scientific endeavour to detect and study gravitational waves from space. LISA will survey the sky for Gravitational Waves in the 0.1 mHz to 1 Hz frequency […]

Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Qingru Hu, Malena Rice, Xian-Yu Wang, Songhu Wang, Avi Shporer | Summary: TOI-677 b is part of an emerging class of “tidally-detached” gas giants ($a/R_star gtrsim 11$) that exhibit large orbital eccentricities and yet low stellar obliquities. Such sources pose a challenge for models of giant planet […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alan M. Levine | First 5 Authors: Anmol Desai, Emma V. Turtelboom, Caleb K. Harada, Courtney D. Dressing, David R. Rice | Summary: We present and confirm TOI-1751 b, a transiting sub-Neptune orbiting a slightly evolved, solar-type, metal-poor star ($T_{eff} = 5996 pm 110$ K, $log(g) = 4.2 pm 0.1$, V = 9.3 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Mohammad K. Mardini, Anna Frebel, Anirudh Chiti, , | Summary: We report on the discovery of the first ultra metal-poor (UMP) star 2MASS~J20500194$-$6613298 (J2050$-$6613; mbox{[Fe/H] = $-4.05$}) selected from the Gaia BP/RP spectral catalog that belongs to the ancient Atari disk component. We obtained a high-resolution spectrum […]
