Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Angelica Psaridi, Hugh Osborn, François Bouchy, Monika Lendl, Léna Parc | Summary: We present the discovery and characterization of two warm mini-Neptunes transiting the K3V star TOI-815 in a K-M binary system. Analysis of the spectra and rotation period reveal it to be a young star with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eric Miller | First 5 Authors: Michael Wojnowicz, Preetish Rath, Eric Miller, Jeffrey Miller, Clifford Hancock | Summary: We seek to model a collection of time series arising from multiple entities interacting over the same time period. Recent work focused on modeling individual time series is inadequate for our intended applications, where collective […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hu Zhan | First 5 Authors: Zun Luo, Wei Du, Baocun Chen, Xianmin Meng, Hu Zhan | Summary: Precision measurements of astrometry and photometry require stringent control of systematics such as those arising from imperfect correction of sensor effects. In this work, we develop a parametric method to model the wavelength dependence of […]

In this work, we develop a parametric method to model the wavelength dependence of pixel response […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Fengwei Xu, Ke Wang, Tie Liu, David Eden, Xunchuan Liu | Summary: High-latitude ($|b|>30^{circ}$) molecular clouds have virial parameters that exceed 1, but whether these clouds can form stars has not been studied systematically. Using JCMT SCUBA-2 archival data, we surveyed 70 fields that target high-latitude Planck […]

Kavli Affiliate: Naoki Yasuda | First 5 Authors: Zhuoxi Liang, Nao Suzuki, Mamoru Doi, Masayuki Tanaka, Naoki Yasuda | Summary: We present the luminosity functions and stellar mass functions of supernova (SN) host galaxies and test if they differ from the functions of normal field galaxies. We utilize homogeneous samples consisting of 273 SNe Ia […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Tingting Liu, Rick Edelson, Juan V. Hernández Santisteban, Erin Kara, John Montano | Summary: We present an intensive multiwavelength monitoring campaign of the quasar PG 1302$-$102 with Swift and the Las Cumbres Observatory network telescopes. At $zsim0.3$, it tests the limits of the reverberation mapping (RM) technique […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger D. Blandford | First 5 Authors: Andrew G. Sullivan, Roger D. Blandford, Mitchell C. Begelman, Mark Birkinshaw, Anthony C. S. Readhead | Summary: Double lobe radio sources associated with active galactic nuclei represent one of the longest studied groups in radio astronomy. A particular sub-group of double radio sources comprises the compact […]
Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Stephen Casper, Carson Ezell, Charlotte Siegmann, Noam Kolt, Taylor Lynn Curtis | Summary: External audits of AI systems are increasingly recognized as a key mechanism for AI governance. The effectiveness of an audit, however, depends on the degree of system access granted to auditors. Recent audits of […]
