CHIME/FRB Catalog 1 results: statistical cross-correlations with large-scale structure

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Masoud Rafiei-Ravandi, Kendrick M. Smith, Dongzi Li, Kiyoshi W. Masui, Alexander Josephy | Summary: The CHIME/FRB Project has recently released its first catalog of fast radio bursts (FRBs), containing 492 unique sources. We present results from angular cross-correlations of CHIME/FRB sources with galaxy catalogs. We find […]

Spherical adjunctions of stable $infty$-categories and the relative S-construction

Kavli Affiliate: Mikhail Kapranov | First 5 Authors: Tobias Dyckerhoff, Mikhail Kapranov, Vadim Schechtman, Yan Soibelman, | Summary: We develop the theory of semi-orthogonal decompositions and spherical functors in the framework of stable $infty$-categories. Building on this, we study the relative Waldhausen S-construction $S_bullet(F)$ of a spherical functor $F$ and equip it with a natural […]

Recurring Planetary Debris Transits and Circumstellar Gas around White Dwarf ZTF J0328$-$1219

Kavli Affiliate: Saul Rappaport | First 5 Authors: Zachary P. Vanderbosch, Saul Rappaport, Joseph A. Guidry, Bruce L. Gary, Simon Blouin | Summary: We present follow-up photometry and spectroscopy of ZTF J0328$-$1219 strengthening its status as a white dwarf exhibiting transiting planetary debris. Using TESS and Zwicky Transient Facility photometry, along with follow-up high speed […]

Modeling Dense Star Clusters in the Milky Way and Beyond with the Cluster Monte Carlo Code

Kavli Affiliate: Pau Amaro Seoane | First 5 Authors: Carl L. Rodriguez, Newlin C. Weatherford, Scott C. Coughlin, Pau Amaro Seoane, Katelyn Breivik | Summary: We describe the public release of the Cluster Monte Carlo Code (CMC) a parallel, star-by-star $N$-body code for modeling dense star clusters. CMC treats collisional stellar dynamics using H’enon’s method, […]

Detailed Design of the Science Operations for the XRISM mission

Kavli Affiliate: Eric Miller | First 5 Authors: Yukikatsu Terada, Matt Holland, Michael Loewenstein, Makoto Tashiro, Hiromitsu Takahashi | Summary: XRISM is an X-ray astronomical mission by the JAXA, NASA, ESA and other international participants, that is planned for launch in 2022 (Japanese fiscal year), to quickly restore high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy of astrophysical objects. To […]

Inferring Black Hole Properties from Astronomical Multivariate Time Series with Bayesian Attentive Neural Processes

Kavli Affiliate: Philip J. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Ji Won Park, Ashley Villar, Yin Li, Yan-Fei Jiang, Shirley Ho | Summary: Among the most extreme objects in the Universe, active galactic nuclei (AGN) are luminous centers of galaxies where a black hole feeds on surrounding matter. The variability patterns of the light emitted by […]
