Understanding the effects of charge diffusion in next-generation soft X-ray imagers

Kavli Affiliate: Marshall W. Bautz | First 5 Authors: Eric D. Miller, Gregory Y. Prigozhin, Beverly J. LaMarr, Marshall W. Bautz, Richard F. Foster | Summary: To take advantage of high-resolution optics sensitive to a broad energy range, future X-ray imaging instruments will require thick detectors with small pixels. This pixel aspect ratio affects spectral […]

TOI-836: A super-Earth and mini-Neptune transiting a nearby K-dwarf

Kavli Affiliate: George Ricker | First 5 Authors: Faith Hawthorn, Daniel Bayliss, Thomas G. Wilson, Andrea Bonfanti, Vardan Adibekyan | Summary: We present the discovery of two exoplanets transiting TOI-836 (TIC 440887364) using data from TESS Sector 11 and Sector 38. TOI-836 is a bright ($T = 8.5$ mag), high proper motion ($sim,200$ mas yr$^{-1}$), […]

Spectral extremal graphs for disjoint cliques

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Zhenyu Ni, Jing Wang, Liying Kang, , | Summary: The $kK_{r+1}$ is the union of $k$ disjoint copies of $(r+1)$-clique. Moon [Canad. J. Math. 20 (1968) 95–102] and Simonovits [Theory of Graphs (Proc. colloq., Tihany, 1996)] independently showed that if $n$ is sufficiently large, then $K_{k-1}vee T_{n-k+1,r}$ […]

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 […]

The LSST era of supermassive black holes accretion-disk reverberation mapping

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Andjelka B. Kovacevic, Viktor Radovic, Dragana Ilic, Luka C. Popovic, Roberto J. Assef | Summary: The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will detect an unprecedentedly large sample of actively accreting supermassive black holes with typical accretion disk (AD) sizes of a […]
