One-Electron Quantum Cyclotron as a Milli-eV Dark-Photon Detector

Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Xing Fan, Gerald Gabrielse, Peter W. Graham, Roni Harnik, Thomas G. Myers | Summary: We propose using trapped electrons as high-$Q$ resonators for detecting meV dark photon dark matter. When the rest energy of the dark photon matches the energy splitting of the two lowest cyclotron […]

UV to submillimetre luminosity functions of TNG50 galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Ana Trcka, Maarten Baes, Peter Camps, Anand Utsav Kapoor, Dylan Nelson | Summary: We apply the radiative transfer (RT) code SKIRT on a sample of ~14000 low-redshift (z<= 0.1) galaxies extracted from the TNG50 simulation to enable an apples-to-apples comparison with observations. The RT procedure is calibrated […]

TOI-1452 b: SPIRou and TESS reveal a super-Earth in a temperate orbit transiting an M4 dwarf

Kavli Affiliate: George Ricker | First 5 Authors: Charles Cadieux, René Doyon, Mykhaylo Plotnykov, Guillaume Hébrard, Farbod Jahandar | Summary: Exploring the properties of exoplanets near or inside the radius valley provides insights on the transition from the rocky super-Earths to the larger, hydrogen-rich atmosphere mini-Neptunes. Here, we report the discovery of TOI-1452 b, a […]

TOI-2196 b: Rare planet in the hot Neptune desert transiting a G-type star

Kavli Affiliate: Roland Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Carina M. Persson, Iskra Y. Georgieva, Davide Gandolfi, Lorena Acuña, Artem Aguichine | Summary: Highly irradiated planets in the hot Neptune desert are usually either small (R < 2 Rearth) and rocky or they are gas giants with radii of >1 Rjup. Here, we report on the […]

Atmospheric Monitoring and Precise Spectroscopy of the HR 8799 Planets with SCExAO/CHARIS

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Jason J. Wang, Peter Gao, Jeffrey Chilcote, Julien Lozi, Olivier Guyon | Summary: The atmospheres of gas giant planets are thought to be inhomogeneous due to weather and patchy clouds. We present two full nights of coronagraphic observations of the HR 8799 planets using the CHARIS integral […]

Mission Architecture to Characterize Habitability of Venus Cloud Layers via an Aerial Platform

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Rachana Agrawal, Weston P. Buchanan, Archit Arora, Athul P. Girija, Maxim de Jong | Summary: Venus is known for its extreme surface temperature and its sulfuric acid clouds. But the cloud layers on Venus have similar temperature and pressure conditions to those on the surface of Earth […]
