TOI-199 b: A well-characterized 100-day transiting warm giant planet with TTVs seen from Antarctica

Kavli Affiliate: Robert F. Goeke | First 5 Authors: Melissa J. Hobson, Trifon Trifonov, Thomas Henning, Andrés Jordán, Felipe Rojas | Summary: We present the spectroscopic confirmation and precise mass measurement of the warm giant planet TOI-199 b. This planet was first identified in TESS photometry and confirmed using ground-based photometry from ASTEP in Antarctica […]

NICER observations of thermonuclear bursts from 4U 1728-34: Detection of oscillations prior to the onset of two bursts

Kavli Affiliate: Deepto Chakrabarty | First 5 Authors: Funda Bostanci, Tugba Boztepe, Tolga Guver, Tod E. Strohmayer, Yuri Cavecchi | Summary: We present temporal and time-resolved spectral analyses of all the thermonuclear X-ray bursts observed from the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) 4U 1728-34 with NICER from June 2017 to September 2019. In total, […]

Emergent Chern-Simons Interactions in 3+1 Dimensions

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Marcus Stålhammar, Darya Rudneva, Thors Hans Hansson, Frank Wilczek, | Summary: Parity violating superconductors can support a low-dimension local interaction that becomes, upon condensation, a purely spatial Chern-Simons term. Solutions to the resulting generalized London equations can be obtained from solutions of the ordinary London equations with […]

TESS Spots a Super-Puff: The Remarkably Low Density of TOI-1420b

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Stephanie Yoshida, Shreyas Vissapragada, David W. Latham, Allyson Bieryla, Daniel P. Thorngren | Summary: We present the discovery of TOI-1420b, an exceptionally low-density ($rho = 0.08pm0.02$ g cm$^{-3}$) transiting planet in a $P = 6.96$ day orbit around a late G dwarf star. Using transit observations from […]

The thesan project: public data release of radiation-hydrodynamic simulations matching reionization-era JWST observations

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Enrico Garaldi, Rahul Kannan, Aaron Smith, Josh Borrow, Mark Vogelsberger | Summary: Cosmological simulations serve as invaluable tools for understanding the Universe. However, the technical complexity and substantial computational resources required to generate such simulations often limit their accessibility within the broader research community. Notable exceptions exist, […]
