Kavli Affiliate: Lee McCuller | First 5 Authors: Aidan F. Brooks, Gabriele Vajente, Hiro Yamamoto, Rich Abbott, Carl Adams | Summary: Small, highly absorbing points are randomly present on the surfaces of the main interferometer optics in Advanced LIGO. The resulting nano-meter scale thermo-elastic deformations and substrate lenses from these micron-scale absorbers significantly reduces the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj R. Pasham | First 5 Authors: Thomas Wevers, Dheeraj R. Pasham, Sjoert van Velzen, James C. A. Miller-Jones, Phil Uttley | Summary: Following a tidal disruption event (TDE), the accretion rate can evolve from quiescent to near-Eddington levels and back over months – years timescales. This provides a unique opportunity to study […]

Kavli Affiliate: Christopher J. Burke | First 5 Authors: Brian P. Powell, Veselin B. Kostov, Saul A. Rappaport, Tamas Borkovits, Petr Zasche | Summary: We report the discovery of a sextuply-eclipsing sextuple star system from TESS data, TIC 168789840, also known as TYC 7037-89-1, the first known sextuple system consisting of three eclipsing binaries. The […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Ricker | First 5 Authors: David V. Martin, Kareem El-Badry, Vedad Kunovac Hodžić, Amaury H. M. J. Triaud, Ruth Angus | Summary: We present TOI-1259Ab, a 1.0 Rjup gas giant planet transiting a 0.71 Rsun K-dwarf on a 3.48 day orbit. The system also contains a bound white dwarf companion TOI-1259B with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nergis Mavalvala | First 5 Authors: Danial Shadmany, Benjamin Lane, Vivishek Sudhir, Nergis Mavalvala, | Summary: Controlling the quadrature measured by a homodyne detector is a universal task in continuous-variable quantum optics. However, deriving an error signal that is linear across theentire range of quadrature angles remains an open experimental problem. Here we […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael McDonald | First 5 Authors: Taweewat Somboonpanyakul, Michael McDonald, Matthew Bayliss, Mark Voit, Megan Donahue | Summary: We present high-resolution optical images from the Hubble Space Telescope, X-ray images from the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and optical spectra from the Nordic Optical Telescope for a newly-discovered galaxy cluster, CHIPS1911+4455, at z=0.485+/-0.005. CHIPS1911+4455 was […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael McDonald | First 5 Authors: Taweewat Somboonpanyakul, Michael McDonald, Massimo Gaspari, Brian Stalder, Antony A. Stark | Summary: We present optical follow-up observations for candidate clusters in the Clusters Hiding in Plain Sight (CHiPS) survey, which is designed to find new galaxy clusters with extreme central galaxies that were misidentified as bright […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alan M. Levine | First 5 Authors: Joseph E. Rodriguez, Samuel N. Quinn, George Zhou, Andrew Vanderburg, Louise D. Nielsen | Summary: We present the discovery and characterization of five hot and warm Jupiters — TOI-628 b (TIC 281408474; HD 288842), TOI-640 b (TIC 147977348), TOI-1333 b (TIC 395171208, BD+47 3521A), TOI-1478 b […]
