Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Xinghong Fu, Ziming Liu, Max Tegmark, , | Summary: When two AI models are trained on the same scientific task, do they learn the same theory or two different theories? Throughout history of science, we have witnessed the rise and fall of theories driven by experimental validation […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Emily K Pass, David Charbonneau, Andrew Vanderburg, , | Summary: Detecting and characterizing the atmospheres of terrestrial exoplanets is a key goal of exoplanetary astronomy, one that may now be within reach given the upcoming campaign to conduct a large-scale survey of rocky M-dwarf worlds with the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Filippo Barbani, Raffaele Pascale, Federico Marinacci, Paul Torrey, Laura V. Sales | Summary: Galaxies are not isolated systems; they continuously interact with their surroundings by ejecting gas via stellar feedback and accreting gas from the environment. Understanding the interplay between outflows from the disc and the surrounding […]
Kavli Affiliate: Catherine E. Grant | First 5 Authors: Arnab Sarkar, Michael McDonald, Lindsey Bleem, Mark Bautz, Bradford A. Benson | Summary: We present joint South Pole Telescope (SPT) and XMM-Newton observations of 8 massive galaxy clusters (0.8–1.7$times$10$^{15}$ M$_{odot}$) spanning a redshift range of 0.16 to 0.35. Employing a novel SZ+X-ray fitting technique, we effectively […]

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Fangzhou Jiang, Zixiang Jia, Haonan Zheng, Luis C. Ho, Kohei Inayoshi | Summary: We present a statistical study on the formation and growth of black holes (BHs) seeded by gravothermal core-collapse of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) halos at high redshifts, using a semi-analytical framework based on Monte-Carlo […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Erin Kara, Javier García, , , | Summary: X-rays are a critical wavelength for understanding supermassive black holes (SMBHs). X-rays probe the inner accretion flow, closest to the event horizon, where gas inspirals, releasing energy and driving black hole growth. This region also governs the launching of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Luigi Pacciani, Dawoon E. Kim, Riccardo Middei, Herman L. Marshall, Alan P. Marscher | Summary: We report the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) polarimetric and simultaneous multiwavelength observations of the high-energy-peaked BL Lacertae (HBL) object 1ES 1959+650, performed in 2022 October and 2023 August. In 2022 […]

Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Allyson Bieryla, Jiayin Dong, George Zhou, Jason D. Eastman, L. C. Mayorga | Summary: We report the discovery and characterization of TOI-2005b, a warm Jupiter on an eccentric (e~0.59), 17.3-day orbit around a V_mag = 9.867 rapidly rotating F-star. The object was detected as a candidate by […]
