Observation of $e^+e^-toωχ_{bJ}(1P)$ and search for $X_b to ωΥ(1S)$ at $sqrt{s}$ near 10.75 GeV

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II collaboration, I. Adachi, L. Aggarwal, H. Ahmed, H. Aihara | Summary: We study the processes $e^+e^-toomegachi_{bJ}(1P)$ ($J$ = 0, 1, or 2) using samples at center-of-mass energies $sqrt{s}$ = 10.701, 10.745, and 10.805 GeV, corresponding to 1.6, 9.8, and 4.7 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity, respectively. […]

Uncovering dark matter density profiles in dwarf galaxies with graph neural networks

Kavli Affiliate: Lina Necib | First 5 Authors: Tri Nguyen, Siddharth Mishra-Sharma, Reuel Williams, Lina Necib, | Summary: Dwarf galaxies are small, dark matter-dominated galaxies, some of which are embedded within the Milky Way. Their lack of baryonic matter (e.g., stars and gas) makes them perfect test beds for probing the properties of dark matter […]

On the formation of over-ionized plasma in evolved supernova remnants

Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Miho Katsuragawa, Shiu-Hang Lee, Hirokazu Odaka, Aya Bamba, Hideaki Matsumura | Summary: One of the outstanding mysteries surrounding the rich diversity found in supernova remnants (SNRs) is the recent discovery of over-ionized or recombining plasma from a number of dynamically evolved objects. To help decipher its formation […]

Biases to primordial non-Gaussianity measurements from CMB secondary anisotropies

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | First 5 Authors: William Coulton, Alexander Miranthis, Anthony Challinor, , | Summary: Our view of the last-scattering surface in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is obscured by secondary anisotropies, sourced by scattering, extragalactic emission and gravitational processes between recombination and observation. Whilst it is established that non-Gaussianity from the correlation […]

Simultaneous bounds on the gravitational dipole radiation and varying gravitational constant from compact binary inspirals

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Ziming Wang, Junjie Zhao, Zihe An, Lijing Shao, Zhoujian Cao | Summary: Compact binaries are an important class of gravitational-wave (GW) sources that can be detected by current and future GW observatories. They provide a testbed for general relativity (GR) in the highly dynamical strong-field regime. Here, […]

Variability Catalog of Stars Observed During the TESS Prime Mission

Kavli Affiliate: Roland Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Tara Fetherolf, Joshua Pepper, Emilie Simpson, Stephen R. Kane, Teo Mocnik | Summary: During its 2-year Prime Mission, TESS observed over 232,000 stars at a 2-min cadence across ~70% of the sky. These data provide a record of photometric variability across a range of astrophysically interesting time […]

Morpheus Reveals Distant Disk Galaxy Morphologies with JWST: The First AI/ML Analysis of JWST Images

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Brant E. Robertson, Sandro Tacchella, Benjamin D. Johnson, Ryan Hausen, Adebusola B. Alabi | Summary: The dramatic first images with James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) demonstrated its power to provide unprecedented spatial detail for galaxies in the high-redshift universe. Here, we leverage the resolution and depth of […]

TOI-4562 b: A highly eccentric temperate Jupiter analog orbiting a young field star

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Alexis Heitzmann, George Zhou, Samuel N. Quinn, Chelsea X. Huang, Jiayin Dong | Summary: We report the discovery of TOI-4562 b (TIC-349576261), a Jovian planet orbiting a young F7V-type star, younger than the Praesepe/Hyades clusters ($sim$ 300-400 Myr). This planet stands out because of its unusually long […]
