Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Zhan-Feng Mai, Rui Xu, Dicong Liang, Lijing Shao, | Summary: Spherical black-hole (BH) solutions have been found in the bumblebee gravity where a vector field nonminimally couples to the Ricci tensor. We study dynamic (in)stability associated with the gravitational and vector perturbations of odd parity against these […]
Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Guillem Domènech, Misao Sasaki, , , | Summary: It is possible that primordial black holes consitute (or consituted) a significant fraction of the energy budget of our universe. Terrestrial gravitational wave detectors offer the opportunity to test the existence of primordial black holes in two different mass […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: William Bains, Janusz J. Petkowski, Sara Seager, , | Summary: Life is a complex, dynamic chemical system that requires a dense fluid solvent in which to take place. A common assumption is that the most likely solvent for life is liquid water, and some researchers argue that […]

Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Guang-Xuan Lan, Ye Li, Zhuo Li, , | Summary: We present a method to estimate the detection expectations of host galaxies of long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) in the {it grizJHKL} bands. It is found that given the same limiting magnitude $m_{grizJHKL,rm lim}$ in each band, the {it […]
Kavli Affiliate: John Silverman | First 5 Authors: Angelo George, Ivana Damjanov, Marcin Sawicki, Stéphane Arnouts, Guillaume Desprez | Summary: We analyze the size evolution of $16000$ star-forming galaxies (SFGs) and $5000$ quiescent galaxies (QGs) with mass $M_*>10^{9.5}M_odot$ at $0.1<z<0.9$ from the COSMOS field using deep CLAUDS+HSC imaging in two rest-frame wavelengths, $3000$r{A} (UV light) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Ruifeng Shi, Yang Huang, Xinyi Li, Huawei Zhang, | Summary: Deriving atmospheric parameters of a large sample of stars is of vital importance to understand the formation and evolution of the Milky Way. Photometric surveys, especially those with near-ultraviolet filters, can offer accurate measurements of stellar parameters, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Jack Schulte, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Allyson Bieryla, Samuel N. Quinn, Karen A. Collins | Summary: Hot Jupiters were many of the first exoplanets discovered in the 1990s, but in the decades since their discovery, the mysteries surrounding their origins remain. Here, we present nine new hot Jupiters […]
Kavli Affiliate: Linhua Jiang | First 5 Authors: Shuqi Fu, Linhua Jiang, Yuanhang Ning, Weiyang Liu, Zhiwei Pan | Summary: We present a study of a sample of 45 spectroscopically confirmed, UV luminous galaxies at $zsim 6$. They were selected as bright Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) using deep multi-band optical images in more than 2 deg$^2$ […]
Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Han Lin, Xiaofeng Wang, Jujia Zhang, Danfeng Xiang, Tianmeng Zhang | Summary: We present 206 unpublished optical spectra of 104 type II supernovae obtained by the Xinglong 2.16m telescope and Lijiang 2.4m telescope during the period from 2011 to 2018, spanning the phases from about 1 to […]
