Spatial Decorrelation of Young Stars and Dense Gas as a Probe of the Star Formation-Feedback Cycle in Galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey V. Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Vadim A. Semenov, Andrey V. Kravtsov, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, , | Summary: The spatial decorrelation of dense molecular gas and young stars observed on $lesssim 1$ kiloparsec scales in nearby galaxies indicates rapid dispersal of star-forming regions by stellar feedback. We explore the sensitivity of this […]

The HST See Change Program: I. Survey Design, Pipeline, and Supernova Discoveries

Kavli Affiliate: Risa Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Brian Hayden, David Rubin, Kyle Boone, Greg Aldering, Jakob Nordin | Summary: The See Change survey was designed to make $z>1$ cosmological measurements by efficiently discovering high-redshift Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and improving cluster mass measurements through weak lensing. This survey observed twelve galaxy clusters with […]

Two Bright M Dwarfs Hosting Ultra-Short-Period Super-Earths with Earth-like Compositions

Kavli Affiliate: Roland K. Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Teruyuki Hirano, John H. Livingston, Akihiko Fukui, Norio Narita, Hiroki Harakawa | Summary: We present observations of two bright M dwarfs (TOI-1634 and TOI-1685: $J=9.5-9.6$) hosting ultra-short period (USP) planets, identified by the TESS mission. The two stars are similar in temperature, mass, and radius ($T_mathrm{eff},approx,3500$ […]

Gravitational wave backgrounds from coalescing black hole binaries at cosmic dawn: an upper bound

Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Kohei Inayoshi, Kazumi Kashiyama, Eli Visbal, Zoltan Haiman, | Summary: The successive discoveries of binary merger events by Advanced LIGO-Virgo have been revealing the statistical properties of binary black hole (BBH) populations. A stochastic gravitational wave background (GWB) is a useful tool to probe the cosmological evolution […]

The TESS Objects of Interest Catalog from the TESS Prime Mission

Kavli Affiliate: Christopher J. Burke | First 5 Authors: Natalia M. Guerrero, S. Seager, Chelsea X. Huang, Andrew Vanderburg, Aylin Garcia Soto | Summary: We present 2,241 exoplanet candidates identified with data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) during its two-year prime mission. We list these candidates in the TESS Objects of Interest (TOI) […]

Topological modular forms and the absence of a heterotic global anomaly

Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Yuji Tachikawa, , , , | Summary: Spacetime theories obtained from perturbative string theory constructions are automatically free of perturbative anomalies, but it is not settled whether they are always free of global anomalies. Here we discuss a possible $mathbb{Z}_{24}$-valued pure gravitational anomaly of heterotic compactifications down […]

Distinguishing Tidal Disruption Events from Impostors

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Ann Zabludoff, Iair Arcavi, Stephanie La Massa, Hagai B. Perets, Benny Trakhtenbrot | Summary: Recent claimed detections of tidal disruption events (TDEs) in multi-wavelength data have opened potential new windows into the evolution and properties of otherwise dormant supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the centres of galaxies. […]

Dynamical Modeling of the CIV Broad Line Region of the $z=2.805$ Multiply Imaged Quasar SDSS J2222+2745

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Gladders | First 5 Authors: Peter R. Williams, Tommaso Treu, Håkon Dahle, Stefano Valenti, Louis Abramson | Summary: We present CIV BLR modeling results for the multiply imaged $z=2.805$ quasar SDSS J2222+2745. Using data covering a 5.3 year baseline after accounting for gravitational time delays, we find models that can reproduce the […]
