Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Xi Yan, Xi Yan, , , | Summary: We report the first robust evidence for a co-spatial sub-parsec acceleration and collimation zone (ACZ) in the twin jets of the nearby low-luminosity active galactic nucleus (LLAGN) NGC 4261. This result is derived from multifrequency Very Long Baseline […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tomotake Matsumura | First 5 Authors: Shaul Hanany, Scott Cray, Samuel Dietterich, Jan Dusing, Calvin Firth | Summary: We used laser ablation to fabricate sub-wavelength structure anti-reflection coating (SWS-ARC) on a 5 cm diameter alumina lens. With an aspect ratio of 2.5, the SWS-ARC are designed to give a broad-band low reflectance response […]

Kavli Affiliate: Noah A. Kurinsky | First 5 Authors: Riley J. Carpenter, Jadyn Anczarski, Ivar Rydstrom, Aviv Simchony, Zoe J. Smith | Summary: Predictable circuit response is a critical prerequisite for accurate electronic measurements. We describe a powerful, yet straightforward, experimental method and analysis model that utilizes an affordable LCR meter in conjunction with an […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Federica Loiacono, Roberto Gilli, Marco Mignoli, Giovanni Mazzolari, Roberto Decarli | Summary: We report the discovery of a little red dot (LRD), dubbed BiRD (‘big red dot’), at $z=2.33$ in the field around the $z=6.3$ quasar SDSSJ1030+0524. Using NIRCam images, we identified it as a bright outlier […]

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: David Berardo, Julien de Wit, Michael Gillon, Ward S. Howard, Vincent Bourrier | Summary: Ly-$alpha$ observations provide a powerful probe of stellar activity and atmospheric escape in exoplanetary systems. We present here an analysis of 104 HST/STIS orbits monitoring the TRAPPIST-1 system between 2017 and 2022, covering […]
Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Patrick Tamburo, Samuel W. Yee, Juliana García-Mejía, David Charbonneau, Allyson Bieryla | Summary: TOI-3884~b is an unusual 6.4~R$_oplus$ planet orbiting an M4 host, whose transits display large and persistent spot-crossing events. We used the textit{Tierras} Observatory to monitor both the long-term photometric variability of TOI-3884 and changes […]

Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li | First 5 Authors: Sencan Sun, Congyi Nai, Baoxiang Pan, Wentao Li, Xin Li | Summary: Precipitation remains one of the most challenging climate variables to observe and predict accurately. Existing datasets face intricate trade-offs: gauge observations are relatively trustworthy but sparse, satellites provide global coverage with retrieval uncertainties, and […]
