Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Jingyi Wang, Erin Kara, Javier A. García, Diego Altamirano, Tomaso Belloni | Summary: While the standard X-ray variability of black hole X-ray binaries (BHXBs) is stochastic and noisy, there are two known BHXBs that exhibit exotic `heartbeat’-like variability in their light curves: GRS 1915+105 and IGR J17091-3624.

Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Matias I. Jones, Yared Reinarz, Rafael Brahm, Marcelo Tala Pinto, Jan Eberhardt | Summary: We report on the confirmation and follow-up characterization of two long-period transiting substellar companions on low-eccentricity orbits around TIC 4672985 and TOI-2529, whose transit events were detected by the TESS space mission. Ground-based […]

Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: Scott A. Hughes, , , , | Summary: Adiabatic binary inspiral in the small mass ratio limit treats the small body as moving along a geodesic of a large Kerr black hole, with the geodesic slowly evolving due to radiative backreaction. Up to initial conditions, geodesics […]

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: William Bains, Janusz J. Petkowski, Sara Seager, , | Summary: Life is a complex, dynamic chemical system that requires a dense fluid solvent in which to take place. A common assumption is that the most likely solvent for life is liquid water, and some researchers argue that […]

Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Jack Schulte, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Allyson Bieryla, Samuel N. Quinn, Karen A. Collins | Summary: Hot Jupiters were many of the first exoplanets discovered in the 1990s, but in the decades since their discovery, the mysteries surrounding their origins remain. Here, we present nine new hot Jupiters […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Isabel Rebollido, Christopher C. Stark, Jens Kammerer, Marshall D. Perrin, Kellen Lawson | Summary: We present the first JWST MIRI and NIRCam observations of the prominent debris disk around Beta Pictoris. Coronagraphic observations in 8 filters spanning from 1.8 to 23~$mu$m provide an unprecedentedly clear view of […]
