Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Jiří Svoboda, Michal Dovčiak, James F. Steiner, Fabio Muleri, Adam Ingram | Summary: X-ray polarization is a powerful tool to investigate the geometry of accreting material around black holes, allowing independent measurements of the black hole spin and orientation of the innermost parts of the accretion […]
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, […]
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 […]

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 […]

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, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Saul Rappaport | First 5 Authors: Luke G. Bouma, Rahul Jayaraman, Saul Rappaport, Luisa M. Rebull, Lynne A. Hillenbrand | Summary: Complex periodic variables (CPVs) are stars that exhibit highly structured and periodic optical light curves. Previous studies have indicated that these stars are typically disk-free pre-main-sequence M dwarfs with rotation periods ranging […]

Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Hsiao-Wen Chen, Zhijie Qu, Michael Rauch, Mandy C. Chen, Fakhri S. Zahedy | Summary: This paper reports the first measurement of the relationship between turbulent velocity and cloud size in the diffuse circumgalactic medium (CGM) in typical galaxy halos at redshift z~0.4-1. Through spectrally-resolved absorption profiles […]
