Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Nikita Kamraj, Murray Brightman, Fiona A. Harrison, Daniel Stern, Javier A. García | Summary: The corona is an integral component of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) which produces the bulk of the X-ray emission above 1–2 keV. However, many of its physical properties and the mechanisms powering this […]
Kavli Affiliate: Catherine E. Grant | First 5 Authors: Eric D. Miller, Catherine E. Grant, Marshall W. Bautz, Silvano Molendi, Ralph Kraft | Summary: The Wide Field Imager (WFI) flying on Athena will usher in the next era of studying the hot and energetic Universe. WFI observations of faint, diffuse sources will be limited by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Steven Allen | First 5 Authors: Eric D. Miller, Catherine E. Grant, Marshall W. Bautz, Silvano Molendi, Ralph Kraft | Summary: The Wide Field Imager (WFI) flying on Athena will usher in the next era of studying the hot and energetic Universe. WFI observations of faint, diffuse sources will be limited by uncertainty […]
Kavli Affiliate: Steven W. Allen | First 5 Authors: Xuejian Shen, Thejs Brinckmann, David Rapetti, Mark Vogelsberger, Adam Mantz | Summary: We perform cosmological zoom-in simulations of $19$ relaxed cluster-mass haloes with the inclusion of adiabatic gas within the cold dark matter (CDM) and self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) models. These clusters are selected as dynamically […]

Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: Lisa V. Drummond, Scott A. Hughes, , , | Summary: Very large mass ratio binary black hole systems are of interest both as a clean limit of the two-body problem in general relativity, as well as for their importance as sources of low-frequency gravitational waves. At […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey A. Harvey | First 5 Authors: Sarah M. Harrison, Jeffrey A. Harvey, Natalie M. Paquette, , | Summary: We present a brief overview of Moonshine with an emphasis on connections to physics. Moonshine collectively refers to a set of phenomena connecting group theory, analytic number theory, and vertex operator algebras or conformal […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vagins | First 5 Authors: Yufeng Li, Mark Vagins, Michael Wurm, , | Summary: The advent of gadolinium-loaded Super-Kamiokande (SK-Gd) and of the soon-to-start JUNO liquid scintillator detector marks a substantial improvement in the global sensitivity for the Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background (DSNB). The present article reviews the detector properties most relevant […]

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Jiayin Dong, Chelsea X. Huang, George Zhou, Rebekah I. Dawson, Gudmundur K. Stefánsson | Summary: Close-in gas giants present a surprising range of stellar obliquity, the angle between a planet’s orbital axis and its host star’s spin axis. It is unclear whether the obliquities reflect the planets’ […]
