Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Tenyo Kawamura, Magnus Axelsson, Chris Done, Tadayuki Takahashi, | Summary: The nature and geometry of the accretion flow in the low/hard state of black hole binaries is currently controversial. While most properties are generally explained in the truncated disc/hot inner flow model, the detection of a broad […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj R. Pasham | First 5 Authors: Sjoert van Velzen, Dheeraj R. Pasham, Stefanie Komossa, Lin Yan, Erin A. Kara | Summary: Stellar tidal disruption events (TDEs) are typically discovered by transient emission due to accretion or shocks of the stellar debris. Yet this luminous flare can be reprocessed by gas or dust […]
Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Fangfei Shi, Donald W. Kurtz, Daniel L. Holdsworth, Hideyuki Saio, Margarida S. Cunha | Summary: We report the frequency analysis of a known roAp star, HD 86181 (TIC 469246567), with new inferences from TESS data. We derive the rotation frequency to be $nu_{rot}$ = 0.48753 $pm$ 0.00001d$^{-1}$. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Ziyan Xu, Gregory J. Herczeg, Christopher M. Johns-Krull, Kevin France, | Summary: We present an analysis of wind absorption in the C II ${lambda}1335$ doublet towards 40 classical T Tauri stars with archival far-ultraviolet (FUV) spectra obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope. Absorption features produced by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Arghajit Jana, Neeraj Kumari, Prantik Nandi, Sachindra Naik, Arka Chatterjee | Summary: We study the nature of the changing-look Active Galactic Nucleus NGC 1566 during its June 2018 outburst. During the outburst, the X-ray intensity of the source rises up to ~25-30 times compared to its quiescent […]
Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Satoshi Yamada, Yoshihiro Ueda, Atsushi Tanimoto, Masatoshi Imanishi, Yoshiki Toba | Summary: We perform a systematic X-ray spectroscopic analysis of 57 local ultra/luminous infrared galaxy systems (containing 84 individual galaxies) observed with Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array and/or Swift/BAT. Combining soft X-ray data obtained with Chandra, XMM-Newton, Suzaku […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gregory Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Wooseok Park, Jeong-Eun Lee, Carlos Contreras Peña, Doug Johnstone, Gregory Herczeg | Summary: Variability in young stellar objects (YSOs) can be caused by various time-dependent phenomena associated with star formation, including accretion rates, geometric changes in the circumstellar disks, stochastic hydromagnetic interactions between stellar surfaces and inner […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gregory Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Yong-Hee Lee, Doug Johnstone, Jeong-Eun Lee, Gregory Herczeg, Steve Mairs | Summary: We present the four-year survey results of monthly submillimeter monitoring of eight nearby ($< 500 $pc) star-forming regions by the JCMT Transient Survey. We apply the Lomb-Scargle Periodogram technique to search for and characterize variability […]
Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Di-Chang Chen, Jia-Yi Yang, Ji-Wei Xie, Ji-Lin Zhou, Subo Dong | Summary: The Kepler telescope has discovered over 4,000 planets (candidates) by searching ? 200,000 stars over a wide range of distance (order of kpc) in our Galaxy. Characterizing the kinematic properties (e.g., Galactic component membership and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Albert Stebbins | First 5 Authors: Gabriela Barenboim, Nikita Blinov, Albert Stebbins, , | Summary: The evolution of the universe prior to Big Bang Nucleosynthesis could have gone through a phase of early matter domination (EMD) which enhanced the growth of small-scale dark matter structure. If EMD was long enough, self-gravitating objects formed […]
