Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Gerrit Schellenberger, Ákos Bogdán, John A. ZuHone, Benjamin D. Oppenheimer, Nhut Truong | Summary: The Astro2020 Decadal Survey has identified the mapping of the circumgalactic medium (CGM, gaseous plasma around galaxies) as a key objective. We explore the prospects for characterizing the CGM in and around nearby […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Hayden R. Foote, Gurtina Besla, Philip Mocz, Nicolás Garavito-Camargo, Lachlan Lancaster | Summary: The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) will induce a dynamical friction (DF) wake on infall to the Milky Way (MW). The MW’s stellar halo will respond to the gravity of the LMC and the dark […]

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Ziqian Zhong, Ziming Liu, Max Tegmark, Jacob Andreas, | Summary: Do neural networks, trained on well-understood algorithmic tasks, reliably rediscover known algorithms for solving those tasks? Several recent studies, on tasks ranging from group arithmetic to in-context linear regression, have suggested that the answer is yes. Using […]

Kavli Affiliate: Erin A. Kara | First 5 Authors: Edward M. Cackett, Jonathan Gelbord, Aaron J. Barth, Gisella De Rosa, Rick Edelson | Summary: The AGN STORM 2 campaign is a large, multiwavelength reverberation mapping project designed to trace out the structure of Mrk 817 from the inner accretion disk to the broad emission line […]

Kavli Affiliate: Lina Necib | First 5 Authors: Tri Nguyen, Xiaowei Ou, Nondh Panithanpaisal, Nora Shipp, Lina Necib | Summary: The third data release (DR3) of Gaia has provided a five-fold increase in the number of radial velocity measurements of stars, as well as a stark improvement in parallax and proper motion measurements. To help […]
Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Sylvia Biscoveanu, Eric Burns, Philippe Landry, Salvatore Vitale, | Summary: Compact-object binary mergers consisting of one neutron star and one black hole (NSBHs) have long been considered promising progenitors for gamma-ray bursts, whose central engine remains poorly understood. Using gravitational-wave constraints on the population-level NSBH mass and […]
