First detection of X-ray polarization from the accreting neutron star 4U 1820-303

Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Alessandro Di Marco, Fabio La Monaca, Juri Poutanen, Thomas D. Russell, Alessio Anitra | Summary: This paper reports the first detection of polarization in the X-rays for atoll-source 4U 1820-303, obtained with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) at 99.999% confidence level (CL). Simultaneous polarimetric measurements […]

PROVABGS: The Probabilistic Stellar Mass Function of the BGS One-Percent Survey

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: ChangHoon Hahn, Jessica Nicole Aguilar, Shadab Alam, Steven Ahlen, David Brooks | Summary: We present the probabilistic stellar mass function (pSMF) of galaxies in the DESI Bright Galaxy Survey (BGS), observed during the One-Percent Survey. The One-Percent Survey was one of DESI’s survey validation programs conducted […]

The DESI One-Percent Survey: Exploring the Halo Occupation Distribution of Luminous Red Galaxies and Quasi-Stellar Objects with AbacusSummit

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Sihan Yuan, Hanyu Zhang, Ashley J. Ross, Jamie Donald-McCann, Boryana Hadzhiyska | Summary: We present the first comprehensive Halo Occupation Distribution (HOD) analysis of the DESI One-Percent survey Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) and Quasi-Stellar Object (QSO) samples. We constrain the HOD of each sample and test […]

The need for focused, hard X-ray investigations of the Sun

Kavli Affiliate: Vahe Petrosian | First 5 Authors: Lindsay Glesener, Albert Y. Shih, Amir Caspi, Ryan Milligan, Hugh Hudson | Summary: Understanding the nature of energetic particles in the solar atmosphere is one of the most important outstanding problems in heliophysics. Flare-accelerated particles compose a huge fraction of the flare energy budget; they have large […]

Spectral variability of photospheric radiation due to faculae II: Facular contrasts for cool main-sequence stars

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Cameron | First 5 Authors: Charlotte M. Norris, Yvonne C. Unruh, Veronika Witzke, Sami K. Solanki, Natalie A. Krivova | Summary: Magnetic features on the surface of stars, such as spots and faculae, cause stellar spectral variability on time-scales of days and longer. For stars other than the Sun, the spectral signatures […]

Cluster Cosmology Without Cluster Finding

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 […]

X-ray Polarization of BL Lacertae in Outburst

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 […]
