Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: The TRAPPIST-1 system offers one of the best opportunities to characterize temperate terrestrial planets beyond our own solar system. Within the TRAPPIST-1 system, planet e stands out as highly likely to sustain surface liquid water if it possesses an atmosphere. Recently, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Alexandra M. Moroianu, Alexandra M. Moroianu, , , | Summary: We report the milliarcsecond localization of a high (1379 pc/cc) dispersion measure (DM) repeating fast radio burst, FRB 20190417A. Combining European VLBI Network detections of five repeat bursts, we confirm the FRB’s host to be a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eric Miller | First 5 Authors: Hiromasa Suzuki, Hiromasa Suzuki, , , | Summary: The X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM), launched into low-Earth orbit in 2023, observes the reflection of solar flare X-rays in the Earth’s atmosphere as a by-product of celestial observations. Using a $sim$one-year data set covering from October 2023 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Richard Mittleman | First 5 Authors: Tomislav Andric, Tomislav Andric, , , | Summary: GEMINI is an underground research and development facility dedicated to advancing seismic isolation and control technologies for future gravitational-wave observatories, including the Einstein Telescope (ET) and the Lunar Gravitational-Wave Antenna (LGWA). This paper presents the technical design and theoretical […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Sarah G. Kane, Sarah G. Kane, , , | Summary: As sites of some of the most efficient star formation in the Universe, globular clusters (GCs) have long been hypothesized to be the building blocks of young galaxies. Within the Milky Way, our best tracers of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Danielle Frostig, Danielle Frostig, , , | Summary: Episodic mass accretion is the dominant mechanism for mass assembly in the proto-stellar phase. Although prior optical time-domain searches have allowed detailed studies of individual outbursts, these searches remain insensitive to the earliest stages of star formation. In […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Michael Zhang, Michael Zhang, , , | Summary: A handful of enigmatic Jupiter-mass objects have been discovered orbiting pulsars. One such object, PSR J2322-2650b, uniquely resembles a hot Jupiter exoplanet due to its minimum density of 1.8 g/cm^3 and its ~1900 K equilibrium temperature. We use […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: XRISM Collaboration, XRISM Collaboration, , , | Summary: Galaxy clusters, the Universe’s largest halo structures, are filled with 10-100 million degree X-ray-emitting gas. Their evolution is shaped by energetic processes such as feedback from supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and mergers with other cosmic structures. The imprints of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li | First 5 Authors: Linqing Wang, Linqing Wang, , , | Summary: Recent advancements in text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in generating high-fidelity images. However, these models often struggle to faithfully render complex user prompts, particularly in aspects like attribute binding, negation, and compositional relationships. This leads […]
