Gas clumping in the outskirts of galaxy clusters, an assessment of the sensitivity of STAR-X

Kavli Affiliate: Marshall W. Bautz | First 5 Authors: Christian T. Norseth, Daniel R. Wik, John A. ZuHone, Eric D. Miller, Marshall W. Bautz | Summary: In the outskirts of galaxy clusters, entropy profiles measured from X-ray observations of the hot intracluster medium (ICM) drops off unexpectedly. One possible explanation for this effect is gas […]

Four New Compact Triply Eclipsing Triples found with Gaia and TESS

Kavli Affiliate: Saul A. Rappaport | First 5 Authors: Donát R. Czavalinga, Tamás Borkovits, Tibor Mitnyan, Saul A. Rappaport, András Pál | Summary: This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of four triply eclipsing triple star systems, namely TIC 88206187, TIC 14839347, TIC 298714297, and TIC 66893949. The four systems with third-body eclipses were found in […]

Twenty-Five Years of Accretion onto the Classical T Tauri Star TW Hya

Kavli Affiliate: David A. Principe | First 5 Authors: Gregory J. Herczeg, Yuguang Chen, Jean-Francois Donati, Andrea K. Dupree, Frederick M. Walter | Summary: Accretion plays a central role in the physics that governs the evolution and dispersal of protoplanetary disks. The primary goal of this paper is to analyze the stability over time of […]

Fully fluorinated non-carbon compounds NF3 and SF6 as ideal technosignature gases

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Sara Seager, Janusz J. Petkowski, Jingcheng Huang, Zhuchang Zhan, Sai Ravela | Summary: Waste gas products from technological civilizations may accumulate in an exoplanet atmosphere to detectable levels. We propose nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) as ideal technosignature gases. Earth life avoids producing or using […]

TOI-332 b: a super dense Neptune found deep within the Neptunian desert

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Ares Osborn, David J. Armstrong, Jorge Fernández Fernández, Henrik Knierim, Vardan Adibekyan | Summary: To date, thousands of planets have been discovered, but there are regions of the orbital parameter space that are still bare. An example is the short period and intermediate mass/radius space known as […]

The case for studying other planetary magnetospheres and atmospheres in Heliophysics

Kavli Affiliate: George Clark | First 5 Authors: Ian J. Cohen, Chris Arridge, Abigail Azari, Chris Bard, George Clark | Summary: Heliophysics is the field that "studies the nature of the Sun, and how it influences the very nature of space – and, in turn, the atmospheres of planetary bodies and the technology that exists […]

Reimagining Heliophysics: A bold new vision for the next decade and beyond

Kavli Affiliate: George Clark | First 5 Authors: Ian J. Cohen, Dan Baker, Jacob Bortnik, Pontus Brandt, Jim Burch | Summary: The field of Heliophysics has a branding problem. We need an answer to the question: “What is Heliophysics?”, the answer to which should clearly and succinctly defines our science in a compelling way that […]
