The Simons Observatory: Assessing the Impact of Dust Complexity on the Recovery of Primordial $B$-modes

Kavli Affiliate: Susan E. Clark | First 5 Authors: Yiqi Liu, Yiqi Liu, , , | Summary: We investigate how dust foreground complexity can affect measurements of the tensor-to-scalar ratio, $r$, in the context of the Simons Observatory, using a cross-spectrum component separation analysis. Employing a suite of simulations with realistic Galactic dust emission, we […]

First Temperature Profile of a Stellar Flare using Differential Chromatic Refraction

Kavli Affiliate: Aaron Roodman | First 5 Authors: Riley Clarke, Riley Clarke, , , | Summary: We present the first derivation of a stellar flare temperature profile from single-band photometry. Stellar flare DWF030225.574-545707.45129 was detected in 2015 by the Dark Energy Camera as part of the Deeper, Wider, Faster Programme. The brightness ($Delta m_g = […]

Silicate clouds and a circumplanetary disk in the YSES-1 exoplanet system

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: Young exoplanets provide a critical link between understanding planet formation and atmospheric evolution. Direct imaging spectroscopy allows us to infer the properties of young, wide orbit, giant planets with high signal-to-noise. This allows us to compare this young population to exoplanets […]

Variable X-ray reverberation in the rapidly accreting AGN Ark 564: the response of the soft excess to the changing geometry of the inner accretion flow

Kavli Affiliate: Steven W. Allen | First 5 Authors: Zhefu Yu, Zhefu Yu, , , | Summary: X-ray reverberation, which exploits the time delays between variability in different energy bands as a function of Fourier frequency, probes the structure of the inner accretion disks and X-ray coronae of active galactic nuclei. We present a systematic […]
