Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Andrej Prsa, Angela Kochoska, Kyle E. Conroy, Nora Eisner, Daniel R. Hey | Summary: In this paper we present a catalog of 4584 eclipsing binaries observed during the first two years (26 sectors) of the TESS survey. We discuss selection criteria for eclipsing binary candidates, detection of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Ling Zhu, Annalisa Pillepich, Glenn van de Ven, Ryan Leaman, Lars Hernquist | Summary: Galactic dynamical structures are fossil records of the assembly histories of galaxies. By analyzing the cosmological hydrodynamical simulation TNG50, we find that a dynamical structure that we call the "hot inner stellar halo," […]
Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Kawasaki, Hiromasa Nakatsuka, Kazunori Nakayama, , | Summary: The cosmic microwave background (CMB) observation by the Planck satellite precisely determines primordial curvature fluctuations on larger scales than $mathcal O(1),mathrm{Mpc}$, while the small-scale curvature fluctuation is still less constrained. The constraint on small-scale fluctuations is highly improved […]
Kavli Affiliate: K. Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Robert L. Cook, Liwen Ko, K. Birgitta Whaley, , | Summary: In this work we study the first step in photosynthesis for the limiting extreme case of a single photon interacting with photosystem II (PSII). We model our system using quantum trajectory theory, which allows us […]
Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wise | First 5 Authors: Yi-Hao Chen, Pavel Sidorenko, Enrique Antonio-Lopez, Rodrigo Amezcua-Correa, Frank Wise | Summary: We report a study of soliton self-frequency shifting in hydrogen-filled hollow-core fiber. The combination of hydrogen and short 40-fs input pulses underlies clean and efficient generation of Raman solitons between 1080 and 1600 nm. With […]

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle, Belle II Collaborations, :, F. Abudinén, L. Aggarwal | Summary: We present a measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa unitarity triangle angle $ phi_{3} $ (also known as~$gamma$) using a model-independent Dalitz plot analysis of linebreak $B^+to Dleft(K_{S}^{0}h^{+}h^{-}right)h^+$, where $D$ is either a $D^0$ or $bar{D}{}^0$ meson and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Michele L. Silverstein, Joshua E. Schlieder, Thomas Barclay, Benjamin J. Hord, Wei-Chun Jao | Summary: We present the TESS discovery of the LHS 1678 (TOI-696) exoplanet system, comprised of two approximately Earth-sized transiting planets and a likely astrometric brown dwarf orbiting a bright ($V_J$=12.5, $K_s$=8.3) M2 dwarf […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jonathan L. Rosner | First 5 Authors: Marek Karliner, Jonathan L. Rosner, , , | Summary: The LHCb experiment at CERN has discovered a doubly charmed isoscalar tetraquark $T_{cc}$ with the quantum numbers of $c c bar u bar d$ and mass of about 3875 MeV/$c^2$, decaying to $D^0 D^0 pi^+$ through the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lars Bildsten | First 5 Authors: Thomas Kupfer, Evan B. Bauer, Jan van Roestel, Eric C. Bellm, Lars Bildsten | Summary: We present the discovery of a new double detonation progenitor system consisting of a hot subdwarf B (sdB) binary with a white dwarf companion with an P=76.34179(2) min orbital period. Spectroscopic observations […]
