An FUV-detected Accretion Shock at the Star-Disk Boundary of FU Ori

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Adolfo S. Carvalho, Lynne A. Hillenbrand, Kevin France, Gregory J. Herczeg, | Summary: FU Ori objects are the most extreme eruptive young stars known. Their 4 to 5 magnitude photometric outbursts last for decades and are attributed to a factor of up to 10,000 increase in […]

On the kinematic nature of apparent discs at high redshifts: Local counterparts are not dominated by ordered rotation but by tangentially anisotropic random motion

Kavli Affiliate: Yingjie Peng | First 5 Authors: Bitao Wang, Yingjie Peng, Michele Cappellari, Hua Gao, Houjun Mo | Summary: It is not straightforward to physically interpret the apparent morphology of galaxies. Recent observations by James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) revealed a dominant galaxy population at high redshifts ($z>2$) that were visually classified as discs […]

Concept of a Double Tilted Rowland Spectrograph for X-rays

Kavli Affiliate: Ralf K. Heilmann | First 5 Authors: Hans Moritz Günther, Casey T. DeRoo, Ralf K. Heilmann, Edward Hertz, | Summary: High-resolution spectroscopy in soft X-rays ($<2$ keV) requires diffractive elements to resolve any astrophysically relevant diagnostics, such as closely spaced lines, weak absorption lines, or line profiles. The Rowland torus geometry describes how […]

AI-Driven Review Systems: Evaluating LLMs in Scalable and Bias-Aware Academic Reviews

Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Keith Tyser, Ben Segev, Gaston Longhitano, Xin-Yu Zhang, Zachary Meeks | Summary: Automatic reviewing helps handle a large volume of papers, provides early feedback and quality control, reduces bias, and allows the analysis of trends. We evaluate the alignment of automatic paper reviews with human reviews using […]
