Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Kishalay De, Ilya Mereminskiy, Roberto Soria, Charlie Conroy, Erin Kara | Summary: We present the discovery and multi-wavelength characterization of SRGA J181414.6-225604, a Galactic hard X-ray transient discovered during the ongoing SRG/ART-XC sky survey. Using data from the Palomar Gattini-IR survey, we identify a spatially and temporally […]

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Roberto Taverna, Roberto Turolla, Fabio Muleri, Jeremy Heyl, Silvia Zane | Summary: We report on the first detection of linearly polarized x-ray emission from an ultra-magnetized neutron star with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). The IXPE 35 observations of the anomalous x-ray pulsar 4U 0142+61 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Saul A. Rappaport | First 5 Authors: Martti H. K. Kristiansen, Saul A. Rappaport, Andrew M. Vanderburg, Thomas L. Jacobs, Hans Martin Schwengeler | Summary: This article presents the history of the Visual Survey Group (VSG) – a Professional-Amateur (Pro-Am) collaboration within the field of astronomy working on data from several space missions […]

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Ana Glidden, Sara Seager, Jingcheng Huang, Janusz J. Petkowski, Sukrit Ranjan | Summary: The search for signs of life on other worlds has largely focused on terrestrial planets. Recent work, however, argues that life could exist in the atmospheres of temperate sub-Neptunes. Here, we evaluate the usefulness […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paul L. Schechter | First 5 Authors: Chirag Falor, Paul L. Schechter, , , | Summary: The quadruple image configurations of gravitational lenses with vanishing ellipticity are examined. Even though such lenses asymptotically approach circularity, the configurations are stable if the position of the source relative to the vanishing diamond caustic is held […]
Kavli Affiliate: John Richardson | First 5 Authors: Nicholas Waytowich, James Hare, Vinicius G. Goecks, Mark Mittrick, John Richardson | Summary: Traditionally, learning from human demonstrations via direct behavior cloning can lead to high-performance policies given that the algorithm has access to large amounts of high-quality data covering the most likely scenarios to be encountered […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Aklant Kumar Bhowmick, Laura Blecha, Yueying Ni, Tiziana Di Matteo, Paul Torrey | Summary: We explore implications of a range of black hole (BH) seeding prescriptions on the formation of the brightest $zgtrsim6$ quasars in cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. The underlying galaxy formation model is the same as […]
