Kavli Affiliate: Robert F. Goeke | First 5 Authors: Paul A. Dalba, Arvind F. Gupta, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Diana Dragomir, Chelsea X. Huang | Summary: We report the detection of a Saturn-size exoplanet orbiting HD 332231 (TOI 1456) in light curves from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). HD 332231, an F8 dwarf star with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Cameron | First 5 Authors: Mayukh Panja, Robert Cameron, Sami K. Solanki, , | Summary: There are no direct spatially resolved observations of spots on stars other than the Sun and starspot properties are inferred indirectly through lightcurves and spectropolarimetric data. We present the first self-consistent 3D radiative MHD computations of starspots […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shawn Henderson | First 5 Authors: Mayuri Sathyanarayana Rao, Maximiliano Silva-Feaver, Aamir Ali, Kam Arnold, Peter Ashton | Summary: The Simons Observatory (SO) is an upcoming polarization-sensitive Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiment on the Cerro Toco Plateau (Chile) with large overlap with other optical and infrared surveys (e.g., DESI, LSST, HSC). To enable […]
Kavli Affiliate: Masahito Yamazaki | First 5 Authors: Wei Li, Masahito Yamazaki, , , | Summary: We find a new infinite class of infinite-dimensional algebras acting on BPS states for non-compact toric Calabi-Yau threefolds. In Type IIA superstring compactification on a toric Calabi-Yau threefold, the D-branes wrapping holomorphic cycles represent the BPS states, and the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Joshua S. Dillon, Max Lee, Zaki S. Ali, Aaron R. Parsons, Naomi Orosz | Summary: In 21 cm cosmology, precision calibration is key to the separation of the neutral hydrogen signal from very bright but spectrally-smooth astrophysical foregrounds. The Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA), an interferometer […]
Kavli Affiliate: David P. Huenemoerder | First 5 Authors: David P. Huenemoerder, Richard Ignace, Nathan A. Miller, Kenneth G. Gayley, Wolf-Rainer Hamann | Summary: We have obtained a very deep exposure (813 ks) of $zeta,$Puppis (O4 supergiant) with the Chandra/HETG Spectrometer. Here we report on analysis of the 1-9 r{A} region, especially well suited for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Rodrigo Banuelos, Phanuel Mariano, Jing Wang, , | Summary: For domains in $mathbb{R}^d$, $dgeq 2$, we prove universal upper and lower bounds on the product of the bottom of the spectrum for the Laplacian to the power $p>0$ and the supremum over all starting points of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Brian Lantz | First 5 Authors: Michael P. Ross, Krishna Venkateswara, Conor Mow-Lowry, Sam Cooper, Jim Warner | Summary: Modern gravitational-wave observatories require robust low-frequency active seismic isolation in order to keep the interferometer at its ideal operating conditions. Seismometers are used to measure both the motion of the ground and isolated platform. […]

Kavli Affiliate: Donald G. York | First 5 Authors: David V. Bowen, Todd M. Tripp, Edward B. Jenkins, Max Pettini, Doron Chelouche | Summary: We present an HST Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) spectrum of the QSO SDSS J095109.12+330745.8 ($z_{em} = 0.645$) whose sightline passes through the SMC-like dwarf galaxy UGC 5282 ($M_B = -16.0$, $cz […]
