Kavli Affiliate: Saul A. Rappaport | First 5 Authors: Martti H. K. Kristiansen, Saul A. Rappaport, Andrew M. Vanderburg, Thomas L. Jacobs, Hans Martin Schwengeler | Summary: This article presents the history of the Visual Survey Group (VSG) – a Professional-Amateur (Pro-Am) collaboration within the field of astronomy working on data from several space missions […]

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Bethan A. Williams, Daniel L. Walker, Steven N. Longmore, A. T. Barnes, Cara Battersby | Summary: Young massive clusters (YMCs) are compact ($lesssim$1 pc), high-mass (>10${}^4$ M${}_{odot}$) stellar systems of significant scientific interest. Due to their rarity and rapid formation, we have very few examples of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Pau Amaro Seoane | First 5 Authors: Sebastiano von Fellenberg, Stefan Gillessen, Julia Stadler, Michi Bauböck, Reinhard Genzel | Summary: We present a large ${sim 30" times 30"}$ spectroscopic survey of the Galactic Center using the SINFONI IFU at the VLT. Combining observations of the last two decades we compile spectra of over […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Abhish Dev, Gordan Krnjaic, Pedro Machado, Harikrishnan Ramani, | Summary: If ultralight $(ll$ eV), bosonic dark matter couples to right handed neutrinos, active neutrino masses and mixing angles depend on the ambient dark matter density. When the neutrino Majorana mass, induced by the dark matter background, is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Ana Glidden, Sara Seager, Jingcheng Huang, Janusz J. Petkowski, Sukrit Ranjan | Summary: The search for signs of life on other worlds has largely focused on terrestrial planets. Recent work, however, argues that life could exist in the atmospheres of temperate sub-Neptunes. Here, we evaluate the usefulness […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert M. Wald | First 5 Authors: Daine L. Danielson, Gautam Satishchandran, Robert M. Wald, , | Summary: We show that if a massive body is put in a quantum superposition of spatially separated states, the mere presence of a black hole in the vicinity of the body will eventually destroy the coherence […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paul L. Schechter | First 5 Authors: Chirag Falor, Paul L. Schechter, , , | Summary: The quadruple image configurations of gravitational lenses with vanishing ellipticity are examined. Even though such lenses asymptotically approach circularity, the configurations are stable if the position of the source relative to the vanishing diamond caustic is held […]
Kavli Affiliate: Albert Stebbins | First 5 Authors: Olivier Perdereau, Réza Ansari, Albert Stebbins, Peter T. Timbie, Xuelei Chen | Summary: We present the science case for surveys with the Tianlai dish array interferometer tuned to the $left[ 1300, 1400 right] mathrm{MHz}$ frequency range. Starting from a realistic generation of mock visibility data according to […]
