Kavli Affiliate: Gregory Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Yong-Hee Lee, Doug Johnstone, Jeong-Eun Lee, Gregory Herczeg, Steve Mairs | Summary: We present the four-year survey results of monthly submillimeter monitoring of eight nearby ($< 500 $pc) star-forming regions by the JCMT Transient Survey. We apply the Lomb-Scargle Periodogram technique to search for and characterize variability […]

Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Di-Chang Chen, Jia-Yi Yang, Ji-Wei Xie, Ji-Lin Zhou, Subo Dong | Summary: The Kepler telescope has discovered over 4,000 planets (candidates) by searching ? 200,000 stars over a wide range of distance (order of kpc) in our Galaxy. Characterizing the kinematic properties (e.g., Galactic component membership and […]

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Nicole Arulanantham, Kevin France, Keri Hoadley, P. C. Schneider, Catherine C. Espaillat | Summary: Ultraviolet spectra of protoplanetary disks trace distributions of warm gas at radii where rocky planets form. We combine HST-COS observations of H2 and CO emission from 12 classical T Tauri stars to […]

Kavli Affiliate: Pau Amaro Seoane | First 5 Authors: Pau Amaro Seoane, Manuel Arca Sedda, Stanislav Babak, Christopher P. L. Berry, Emanuele Berti | Summary: The science objectives of the LISA mission have been defined under the implicit assumption of a 4 yr continuous data stream. Based on the performance of LISA Pathfinder, it is […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: This paper develops a data-based approach to the closed-loop output feedback control of nonlinear dynamical systems with a partial nonlinear observation model. We propose an information state based approach to rigorously transform the partially observed problem into a fully observed problem […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Jue Jiang, Weiwei Zhao, Fei Wang, Renzhong Du, Ludi Miao | Summary: When a ferromagnet is placed in contact with a superconductor, owing to incompatible spin order, the Cooper pairs from the superconductor cannot survive more than one or two nanometers inside the ferromagnet. This is confirmed […]

Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Tingting Lin, Shuang Du, Renxin Xu, , | Summary: Magnetic field may distort neutron stars (NSs), but the effect has not been robustly tested through gravitational-wave observation yet due to the absence of a fast rotating Galactic magnetar. The central objects of Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) could be […]

Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Tingting Lin, Shuang Du, Weihua Wang, Shujin Hou, Renxin Xu | Summary: Magnetic field may distort neutron stars (NSs), but its effect has not been robustly tested through gravitational-wave observation yet due to the absence of a fast rotating Galactic magnetar. Part of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are […]

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Sung-Yong Yoon, Jeong-Eun Lee, Seokho Lee, Gregory J. Herczeg, Sunkyung Park | Summary: Outbursts of young stellar objects occur when the mass accretion rate suddenly increases. However, such outbursts are difficult to detect for deeply embedded protostars due to their thick envelope and the rarity of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: N. Elias-Rosa, P. Chen, S. Benetti, Subo Dong, J. L. Prieto | Summary: There is a wide consensus that type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) originate from the thermonuclear explosion of CO white dwarfs (WD), with the lack of hydrogen in the observed spectra as a distinctive feature.
