The complex dynamical past and future of double eclipsing binary CzeV343: misaligned orbits and period resonance

Kavli Affiliate: Michael M. Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Ondřej Pejcha, Pavel Cagaš, Camille Landri, Michael M. Fausnaugh, Gisella De Rosa | Summary: CzeV343 was previously identified as a candidate double eclipsing binary (2+2 quadruple), where the orbital periods of the two eclipsing binaries ($P_A approx 1.2$ days and $P_B approx 0.8$ days) lie very […]

X-ray Halos around Massive Galaxies: Data and Theory

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Akos Bogdan, Mark Vogelsberger, , , | Summary: The presence of gaseous X-ray halos around massive galaxies is a basic prediction of all past and modern structure formation simulations. The importance of these X-ray halos is further emphasized by the fact that they retain signatures of the […]

Chandra, HST/STIS, NICER, Swift, and TESS Detail the Flare Evolution of the Repeating Nuclear Transient ASASSN-14ko

Kavli Affiliate: Michael M. Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Anna V. Payne, Katie Auchettl, Benjamin J. Shappee, Christopher S. Kochanek, Patricia T. Boyd | Summary: ASASSN-14ko is a nuclear transient at the center of the AGN ESO 253-G003 that undergoes periodic flares. Optical flares were first observed in 2014 by the All-Sky Automated Survey for […]

Polarized X-rays Constrain The Disk-Jet Geometry in a Black Hole X-ray Binary

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Henric Krawczynski, Fabio Muleri, Michal Dovčiak, Alexandra Veledina, Nicole Rodriguez Cavero | Summary: In a black hole X-ray binary (XRB) system, gas accreted from a normal star onto a black hole glows brightly in X-rays. We report on an observation of the XRB Cygnus X-1 (Cyg […]

The Atari Disk, a Metal-Poor Stellar Population in the Disk System of the Milky Way

Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Mohammad K. Mardini, Anna Frebel, Anirudh Chiti, Yohai Meiron, Kaley V. Brauer | Summary: We have developed a chemo-dynamical approach to assign 36,010 metal-poor SkyMapper stars to various Galactic stellar populations. Using two independent techniques (velocity and action space behavior), $Gaia$ EDR3 astrometry, and photometric metallicities, we […]
