Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Enia Xhakaj, Alexie Leauthaud, Johannes Lange, Elisabeth Krause, Andrew Hearin | Summary: We propose that observations of super-massive galaxies contain cosmological constraining power similar to conventional cluster cosmology, and we provide promising indications that the associated systematic errors are comparably easier to control. We consider a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Abel L. Peirson, Michela Negro, Ioannis Liodakis, Riccardo Middei, Dawoon E. Kim | Summary: We report the first $> 99%$ confidence detection of X-ray polarization in BL Lacertae. During a recent X-ray/$gamma$-ray outburst, a 287 ksec observation (2022 November 27-30) was taken using the Imaging X-ray […]

Kavli Affiliate: Grzegorz Madejski | First 5 Authors: Laura Di Gesu, Herman L. Marshall, Steven R. Ehlert, Dawoon E. Kim, Immacolata Donnarumma | Summary: The magnetic field conditions in astrophysical relativistic jets can be probed by multiwavelength polarimetry, which has been recently extended to X-rays. For example, one can track how the magnetic field changes […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Shubh Agrawal, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Quinn M. Konopacky, Bruce Macintosh, Dimitri Mawet | Summary: While radial velocity surveys have demonstrated that the population of gas giants peaks around $3~text{au}$, the most recent high-contrast imaging surveys have only been sensitive to planets beyond $sim~10~text{au}$. Sensitivity at small angular separations […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dustin M. Schroeder | First 5 Authors: Andrew Romero-Wolf, Gregor Steinbruegge, Julie Castillo-Rogez, Corey J. Cochrane, Tom A. Nordheim | Summary: We present a feasibility study for passive sounding of Uranian icy moons using Uranian Kilometric Radio (UKR) emissions in the 100 – 900 kHz band. We provide a summary description of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Cameron | First 5 Authors: Robert Cameron, Manfred Schüssler, , , | Summary: Theoretical models for the solar dynamo range from simple low-dimensional “toy models” to complex 3D-MHD simulations. Here we mainly discuss appproaches that are motivated and guided by solar (and stellar) observations. We give a brief overview of the evolution […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter Orel | First 5 Authors: Tanmoy Chattopadhyay, Sven Herrmann, Peter Orel, Kevan Donlon, Gregory Prigozhin | Summary: We demonstrate so-called repetitive non-destructive readout (RNDR) for the first time on a Single electron Sensitive Readout (SiSeRO) device. SiSeRO is a novel on-chip charge detector output stage for charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensors, developed […]

Kavli Affiliate: Roger Romani | First 5 Authors: Ajay Ratheesh, Michal Dovčiak, Henric Krawczynski, Jakub Podgorný, Lorenzo Marra | Summary: Large, energy-dependent X-ray polarisation is observed in 4U 1630-47, a black hole in an X-ray binary, in the high-soft emission state. In this state, X-ray emission is believed to be dominated by a thermal, geometrically […]
