The Discovery of Two Quadruple Star Systems with the Second and Third Shortest Outer Periods

Kavli Affiliate: Saul A. Rappaport | First 5 Authors: Brian P. Powell, Guillermo Torres, Veselin B. Kostov, Tamás Borkovits, Saul A. Rappaport | Summary: We present the discovery of two quadruple star systems — TIC 285853156 and TIC 392229331 — each consisting of two bound eclipsing binary stars. Among the most compact quadruples known, TIC […]

Rapid inference and comparison of gravitational-wave population models with neural variational posteriors

Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Matthew Mould, Noah E. Wolfe, Salvatore Vitale, , | Summary: The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA catalog has been analyzed with an abundance of different population models due to theoretical uncertainty in the formation of gravitational-wave sources. To expedite model exploration, we introduce an efficient and accurate variational Bayesian approach that […]

Discovery of extreme Quasi-Periodic Eruptions in a newly accreting massive black hole

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Lorena Hernández-García, Joheen Chakraborty, Paula Sánchez-Sáez, Claudio Ricci, Jorge Cuadra | Summary: Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are rapid, recurring X-ray bursts from supermassive black holes, believed to result from interactions between accretion disks and surrounding matter. The galaxy SDSS1335+0728, previously stable for two decades, exhibited an increase in […]

TOI-6478 b: a cold under-dense Neptune transiting a fully convective M dwarf from the thick disc

Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Madison G. Scott, Amaury H. M. J. Triaud, Khalid Barkaoui, Daniel Sebastian, Adam J. Burgasser | Summary: Growing numbers of exoplanet detections continue to reveal the diverse nature of planetary systems. Planet formation around late-type M dwarfs is of particular interest. These systems provide practical laboratories to […]
