Detecting and Characterizing Young Quasars II: Four Quasars at $zsim 6$ with Lifetimes $<10^4$ years

Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Anna-Christina Eilers, Joseph F. Hennawi, Frederick B. Davies, Robert A. Simcoe, | Summary: The extents of proximity zones of high-redshift quasars enable constraints on the timescales of quasar activity, which are fundamental for understanding the growth of the supermassive black holes (SMBHs) that power the quasars’ […]

TOI-1278 B: SPIRou unveils a rare Brown Dwarf Companion in Close-In Orbit around an M dwarf

Kavli Affiliate: George Ricker | First 5 Authors: Étienne Artigau, Guillaume Hébrard, Charles Cadieux, Thomas Vandal, Neil J. Cook | Summary: We present the discovery of an $18.5pm0.5$M$_{rm Jup}$ brown dwarf (BD) companion to the M0V star TOI-1278. The system was first identified through a percent-deep transit in TESS photometry; further analysis showed it to […]

Indirect dark matter searches at ultrahigh energy neutrino detectors

Kavli Affiliate: Angela V. Olinto | First 5 Authors: Claire Guépin, Roberto Aloisio, Luis A. Anchordoqui, Austin Cummings, John F. Krizmanic | Summary: High to ultrahigh energy neutrino detectors can uniquely probe the properties of dark matter $chi$ by searching for the secondary products produced through annihilation and/or decay processes. We evaluate the sensitivities to […]

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 […]
