Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Ryan Cloutier, Michael Greklek-McKeon, Serena Wurmser, Collin Cherubim, Erik Gillis | Summary: Is the population of close-in planets orbiting M dwarfs sculpted by thermally driven escape or is it a direct outcome of the planet formation process? A number of recent empirical results strongly suggest the latter. […]

Kavli Affiliate: Paul Schechter | First 5 Authors: Cameron Lemon, Frédéric Courbin, Anupreeta More, Paul Schechter, Raoul Cañameras | Summary: Strong gravitational lenses provide unique laboratories for cosmological and astrophysical investigations, but they must first be discovered – a task that can be met with significant contamination by other astrophysical objects and asterisms. Here we […]

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Kentaro Kasai, Masahiro Kawasaki, Naoya Kitajima, Kai Murai, Shunsuke Neda | Summary: We study a modification of the primordial black hole (PBH) formation model from axion bubbles. We assume that the Peccei-Quinn scalar rolls down in the radial direction from a large field value to the potential […]
Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Takada | First 5 Authors: Ryo Terasawa, Ryuichi Takahashi, Takahiro Nishimichi, Masahiro Takada, | Summary: The growth of large-scale structure, together with the geometrical information of cosmic expansion history and cosmological distances, can be used to obtain constraints on the spatial curvature of the universe that probes the early universe physics, whereas […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Chengyan Xie, Ilaria Pascucci, Feng Long, Klaus M. Pontoppidan, Andrea Banzatti | Summary: We present an analysis of the JWST/MIRI-MRS spectrum of Sz114, an accreting M5 star surrounded by a large dust disk with a gap at ~39au. The spectrum is molecular-rich: we report the detection […]

Pontoppidan, Andrea Banzatti | Summary: We present an analysis of the JDISC JWST/MIRI-MRS spectrum of Sz~114, an accreting M5 star surrounded by a large dust disk with a shallow gap at $sim 39$ au. The spectrum is molecular-rich: […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Mackenzie Lach, Steph Sallum, Ravinder Banyal, Natalie Batalha, Geoff Blake | Summary: The Slicer Combined with Array of Lenslets for Exoplanet Spectroscopy (SCALES) instrument is a lenslet-based integral field spectrograph that will operate at 2 to 5 microns, imaging and characterizing colder (and thus older) planets than […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Erich Schmitz, Yunhui Guo, Jing Wang, , | Summary: Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive form of malignant brain tumor with a generally poor prognosis. Treatment usually includes a mix of surgical resection, radiation therapy, and akylating chemotherapy but, even with these intensive treatments, the 2-year survival […]
