Kavli Affiliate: Michael Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Jason T. Hinkle, Thomas W. -S. Holoien, Benjamin. J. Shappee, Jack M. M. Neustadt, Katie Auchettl | Summary: We present observations of ASASSN-20hx, a nearby ambiguous nuclear transient (ANT) discovered in NGC 6297 by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN). We observed ASASSN-20hx from $-$30 to […]
Oren Slone, Fangzhou Jiang, Mariangela Lisanti, Manoj Kaplinghat, | Summary: [[{“value”:”Dark matter self interactions can leave distinctive signatures on the properties of satellite galaxies around Milky Way–like hosts through their impact on tidal stripping, ram pressure, and gravothermal collapse. We delineate the regions of self-interacting dark matter parameter space — specified by interaction cross section […]
Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II collaboration, F. Abudinén, I. Adachi, K. Adamczyk, L. Aggarwal | Summary: We report a measurement of the $D^0$ and $D^+$ lifetimes using $D^0to K^-pi^+$ and $D^+to K^-pi^+pi^+$ decays reconstructed in $e^+e^-to cbar{c}$ data recorded by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. […]
Kavli Affiliate: E. P. S. Shellard | First 5 Authors: C. J. A. P. Martins, Patrick Peter, I. Yu. Rybak, E. P. S. Shellard, | Summary: We apply a recently developed formalism to study the evolution of a current-carrying string network under the simple but generic assumption of a linear equation of state. We demonstrate […]
Kavli Affiliate: Deepto Chakrabarty | First 5 Authors: Teruaki Enoto, Mason Ng, Chin-ping Hu, Tolga Guver, Gaurava K. Jaisawal | Summary: The soft gamma-ray repeater Swift J1555.2-5402 was discovered by means of a 12-ms duration short burst detected with Swift BAT on 2021 June 3. Then 1.6 hours after the first burst detection, NICER started […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Menglu Yu, Jia Liu, Chuan Wu, Bo Ji, Elizabeth S. Bentley | Summary: Recent years have witnessed a rapid growth of distributed machine learning (ML) frameworks, which exploit the massive parallelism of computing clusters to expedite ML training. However, the proliferation of distributed ML frameworks also introduces […]
Kavli Affiliate: Marcela Carena | First 5 Authors: Marcela Carena, Nina M. Coyle, Ying-Ying Li, Samuel D. McDermott, Yuhsin Tsai | Summary: Dark matter (DM) with a mass below a few keV must have a phase space distribution that differs substantially from the Standard Model particle thermal phase space: otherwise, it will free stream out […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Kohei Ichikawa, Takuji Yamashita, Yoshiki Toba, Tohru Nagao, Kohei Inayoshi | Summary: We present the optical and infrared properties of 39 extremely radio-loud galaxies discovered by cross-matching the Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) deep optical imaging survey and VLA/FIRST 1.4 GHz radio survey. The recent Subaru/HSC strategic survey revealed […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Ricker | First 5 Authors: Ares Osborn, David J. Armstrong, Bryson Cale, Rafael Brahm, Robert A. Wittenmyer | Summary: We present the bright (V$_{mag} = 9.12$), multi-planet system TOI-431, characterised with photometry and radial velocities. We estimate the stellar rotation period to be $30.5 pm 0.7$ days using archival photometry and radial […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roland K. Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Nicholas Saunders, Samuel K. Grunblatt, , , | Summary: While the population of confirmed exoplanets continues to grow, the sample of confirmed transiting planets around evolved stars is still limited. We present the discovery and confirmation of a hot Jupiter orbiting TOI-2184 (TIC 176956893), a massive […]
