Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Aaron B. Pearlman, Paul Scholz, Suryarao Bethapudi, Jason W. T. Hessels, Victoria M. Kaspi | Summary: Since fast radio bursts (FRBs) were discovered, their precise origins have remained a mystery. Multiwavelength observations of nearby FRB sources provide one of the best ways to make rapid progress […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Laurel Kaye, Shreyas Vissapragada, Maximilian N. Gunther, Suzanne Aigrain, Thomas Mikal-Evans | Summary: We present ground and space-based photometric observations of TOI-270 (L231-32), a system of three transiting planets consisting of one super-Earth and two sub-Neptunes discovered by TESS around a bright (K-mag=8.25) M3V dwarf. The planets […]
Kavli Affiliate: John Richardson | First 5 Authors: Veerle J. Sterken, Silvan Hunziker, Kostas Dialynas, Jan Leitner, Maximilian Sommer | Summary: We discuss the synergies between heliospheric and dust science, the open science questions, the technological endeavors and programmatic aspects that are important to maintain or develop in the decade to come. In particular, we […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Benjamin J. Hord, Eliza M. -R. Kempton, Thomas Mikal-Evans, David W. Latham, David R. Ciardi | Summary: JWST has ushered in an era of unprecedented ability to characterize exoplanetary atmospheres. While there are over 5,000 confirmed planets, more than 4,000 TESS planet candidates are still unconfirmed and […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Masoud Rafiei-Ravandi, Kendrick M. Smith, D. Michilli, Ziggy Pleunis, Mohit Bhardwaj | Summary: We present results from angular cross-correlations between select samples of CHIME/FRB repeaters and galaxies in three photometric galaxy surveys, which have shown correlations with the first CHIME/FRB catalog containing repeating and nonrepeating sources: […]

Kavli Affiliate: Deepto Chakrabarty | First 5 Authors: Serena Vinciguerra, Tuomo Salmi, Anna L. Watts, Devarshi Choudhury, Thomas E. Riley | Summary: In 2019 the NICER collaboration published the first mass and radius inferred for PSR J0030+0451, thanks to NICER observations, and consequent constraints on the equation of state characterising dense matter. Two independent analyses […]
Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Gianluca Lagnese, Federica Maria Surace, Sid Morampudi, Frank Wilczek, | Summary: Distinguishing whether a system supports alternate low-energy (locally stable) states — stable (true vacuum) versus metastable (false vacuum) — by direct observation can be difficult when the lifetime of the state is very long but otherwise […]
