Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Daniel M. Krolikowski, Adam L. Kraus, Benjamin M. Tofflemire, Caroline V. Morley, Andrew W. Mann | Summary: Young exoplanets trace planetary evolution, particularly the atmospheric mass loss that is most dynamic in youth. However, the high activity level of young stars can mask or mimic the spectroscopic […]
Kavli Affiliate: Melania Nynka | First 5 Authors: Kaya Mori, Gabriele Ponti, Matteo Bachetti, Arash Bodaghee, Jonathan Grindlay | Summary: HEX-P is a probe-class mission concept that will combine high spatial resolution X-ray imaging ($<10"$ FWHM) and broad spectral coverage (0.2-80 keV) with an effective area far superior to current facilities’ (including XMM-Newton and NuSTAR). […]
Kavli Affiliate: Melania Nynka | First 5 Authors: Stephen Reynolds, Hongjun An, Moaz Abdelmaguid, Jason Alford, Chris L. Fryer | Summary: HEX-P is a probe-class mission concept that will combine high spatial resolution X-ray imaging ($<10"$ full width at half maximum) and broad spectral coverage (0.2–80 keV) with an effective area far superior to current […]

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: John Rankin, Fabio La Monaca, Alessandro Di Marco, Juri Poutanen, Anna Bobrikova | Summary: Cir X-1 is a neutron star X-ray binary characterized by strong variations in flux during its eccentric $sim$16.6 days orbit. There are also strong variations in the spectral state, and historically it […]

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Jeremy Heyl, Victor Doroshenko, Denis González-Caniulef, Ilaria Caiazzo, Juri Poutanen | Summary: In an accreting X-ray pulsar, a neutron star accretes matter from a stellar companion through an accretion disk. The high magnetic field of the rotating neutron star disrupts the inner edge of the disc, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Ryan Magee, Maximiliano Isi, Ethan Payne, Katerina Chatziioannou, Will M. Farr | Summary: Tests of general relativity with gravitational wave observations from merging compact binaries continue to confirm Einstein’s theory of gravity with increasing precision. However, these tests have so far only been applied to signals that […]

Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Malena Rice, Xian-Yu Wang, Songhu Wang, Avi Shporer, Khalid Barkaoui | Summary: The geometries of near-resonant planetary systems offer a relatively pristine window into the initial conditions of exoplanet systems. Given that near-resonant systems have likely experienced minimal dynamical disruptions, the spin-orbit orientations of these systems inform […]
