Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Andrew G. Sullivan, Roger W. Romani, , , | Summary: PSR J2215+5135 (J2215) is a `redback’ spider pulsar, where the intrabinary shock (IBS) wraps around the pulsar rather than the stellar-mass companion. Spider orbital light curves are modulated, dominated by their binary companion thermal emission in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Richard Mittleman | First 5 Authors: Jiri Smetana, Amit Singh Ubhi, Emilia Chick, Leonid Prokhorov, John Bryant | Summary: We present a pair of seismometers capable of measurement in all six axes of rigid motion. The vacuum-compatible devices implement compact interferometric displacement sensors to surpass the sensitivity of typical electrical readout schemes. Together […]
Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Emilie Hertig, Kevin Wolz, Toshiya Namikawa, Antón Baleato Lizancos, Susanna Azzoni | Summary: The Simons Observatory (SO), a next-generation ground-based CMB experiment in its final stages of construction, will target primordial $B$-modes with unprecedented sensitivity to set tight bounds on the amplitude of inflationary gravitational waves. Aiming […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Shishir Dholakia, Larissa Palethorpe, Alexander Venner, Annelies Mortier, Thomas G. Wilson | Summary: We report on the discovery of Gliese 12 b, the nearest transiting temperate, Earth-sized planet found to date. Gliese 12 is a bright ($V=12.6$ mag, $K=7.8$ mag) metal-poor M4V star only $12.162pm0.005$ pc away […]

Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Zhen Zhang, Haoxiang Lin, Zhuo Li, Shao-Lin Xiong, Yan-Qiu Zhang | Summary: Ultra-relativistic jets are believed to play important role in producing prompt emission and afterglow of gamma-ray burst (GRB), but the nature of the jet is poorly known owing to the lacking of decisive features observed […]

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Gareth C. Jones, Andrew J. Bunker, Kseniia Telikova, Santiago Arribas, Stefano Carniani | Summary: We present observations of the $zsim5.7$ Lyman-break galaxy HZ10 with the JWST/NIRSpec IFU in high and low spectral resolution (G395H, $Rsim2700$ and PRISM, $Rsim100$, respectively), as part of the GA-NIFS program. By spatially […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Han Yan, Xian Chen, Jinhai Zhang, Fan Zhang, Lijing Shao | Summary: Motivated by the old idea of using the moon as a resonant gravitational-wave (GW) detector, as well as the recent updates in modeling the lunar response to GWs, } we re-evaluate the feasibility of using […]
