Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Wei-Yang Wang, Jin-Chen Jiang, Jiguang Lu, Heng Xu, Jiangwei Xu | Summary: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration signals, to be highly dispersed at distant galaxies, the physical origin of which is still challenging. Coherent curvature emission by bunches powered, e.g., by starquakes, has already been proposed […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Shun Wang, Jing Wang, Bi-Qing For, Bumhyun Lee, Tristan Reynolds | Summary: We study the tidal interaction of galaxies in the Eridanus supergroup, using HI data from the pre-pilot survey of WALLABY (Widefield ASKAP L-band Legacy All-sky Blind surveY). We obtain optical photometric measurements and quantify the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Fangzheng Shi, Bocheng Zhu, Zhiyuan Li, Feng Yuan, | Summary: Super-massive black holes (SMBHs) spend most of their lifetime accreting at a rate well below the Eddington limit, manifesting themselves as low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs). The prevalence of a hot wind from LLAGNs is a generic […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Avi Kaplan-Lipkin, Bruce Macintosh, Alexander Madurowicz, Sowmya Krishnamurthy, Alexander Shapiro | Summary: Astrometric detection of exoplanets by stellar reflex motion will be made possible for giant planets by the recent Gaia mission and for Earth-like planets by proposed missions such as LUVOIR. At the theoretical limits, astrometry […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Avi Kaplan-Lipkin, Bruce Macintosh, Alexander Madurowicz, Krishnamurthy Sowmya, Alexander Shapiro | Summary: Astrometry has long been a promising technique for exoplanet detection. At the theoretical limits, astrometry would allow for the detection of smaller planets than previously seen by current exoplanet search methods, but stellar activity may […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Daisuke Toyouchi, Kohei Inayoshi, Miho N. Ishigaki, Nozomu Tominaga, | Summary: Recent observations of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) have shown a high Fe~II/Mg~II line-flux ratio in their broad-line regions, nearly independent of redshift up to $z gtrsim 6$. The high flux ratio requires rapid production of iron […]
Kavli Affiliate: Katrin Heitmann | First 5 Authors: Xiaofeng Dong, Nesar Ramachandra, Salman Habib, Katrin Heitmann, Michael Buehlmann | Summary: The potential of deep learning based image-to-image translations has recently drawn a lot of attention; one intriguing possibility is that of generating cosmological predictions with a drastic reduction in computational cost. Such an effort requires […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: David Zegeye, Keisuke Inomata, Wayne Hu, , | Summary: Single field inflationary models that seek to greatly enhance small scale power in order to form primordial black holes predict both a squeezed bispectrum that is enhanced by this small scale power and a potentially detectable enhancement of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Sara Seager, Janusz J. Petkowski, Christopher E. Carr, David Grinspoon, Bethany Ehlmann | Summary: The Venus Life Finder Missions are a series of focused astrobiology mission concepts to search for habitability, signs of life, and life itself in the Venus atmosphere. While people have speculated on life […]
