Kavli Affiliate: Michael Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Hans Moritz Günther, Dheeraj Pasham, Alexander Binks, Stefan Czesla, Teruaki Enoto | Summary: Many giant stars are magnetically active, which causes rotational variability, chromospheric emission lines, and X-ray emission. Large outbursts in these emission features can set limits on the magnetic field strength and thus constrain the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: William Lake, Michael Y. Grudić, Smadar Naoz, Naoki Yoshida, Claire E. Williams | Summary: To date, JWST has detected the earliest known star clusters in our Universe (Adamo et al. 2024, Messa et al. 2024, Vanzella et al. 2024, Mowla et al. 2024). They appear to be […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Hagai Netzer, Michael R. Goad, Aaron J. Barth, Edward M. Cackett, Keith Horne | Summary: The local (z=0.0315) AGN Mrk 817, was monitored over more than 500 days with space-borne and ground-based instruments as part of a large international campaign AGN STORM 2. Here, we present a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Rohan P. Naidu, Jorryt Matthee, Ivan Kramarenko, Andrea Weibel, Gabriel Brammer | Summary: Dwarf galaxies hold the key to crucial frontiers of astrophysics, however, their faintness renders spectroscopy challenging. Here we present the JWST Cycle 2 survey, All the Little Things (ALT, PID 3516), which is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Veselin B. Kostov, Saul A. Rappaport, Tamas Borkovits, Brian P. Powell, Robert Gagliano | Summary: We have discovered a triply eclipsing triple-star system, TIC 290061484, with the shortest known outer period, Pout, of only 24.5 days. This "eclipses" the previous record set by lambda Tauri at 33.02 […]

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Oluwashina Adegoke, Javier Garcia, Riley Connors, Yuanze Ding, Guglielmo Mastroserio | Summary: MAXI J1803-298 is a transient black hole candidate discovered in May of 2021 during an outburst that lasted several months. Multiple X-ray observations reveal recurring "dipping" intervals in several of its light curves, particularly during […]
Kavli Affiliate: David H. Shoemaker | First 5 Authors: Kathryne J. Daniel, Joshua R. Smith, Stefan Ballmer, Warren Bristol, Jennifer C. Driggers | Summary: Cosmic Explorer (CE) is a next-generation ground-based gravitational-wave observatory that is being designed in the 2020s and is envisioned to begin operations in the 2030s together with the Einstein Telescope in […]
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 […]
