SkyNet, a new general-purpose nuclear reaction network that evolves the abundances of nuclear species through nuclear reactions, can be used to explore processes in the early universe and in the life cycles of stars.
Andrew J. Marsh et al 2017 ApJ 849 131
A search for transient hard X-ray emission in the quiet solar corona with the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) satellite resulted in no detections, setting upper limits on hard X-ray brightenings.
Katelyn Breivik et al 2017 ApJL 850 L13
Gaia is predicted to discover between 3,800 and 12,000 black holes with luminous stellar companions by the end of its 5-year mission, providing important constraints on the strength of black-hole natal kicks.
Y. Omori et al 2017 ApJ 849 124
A cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing map, produced from a linear combination of South Pole Telescope and Planck temperature data, will be used for cross-correlation studies with the Dark Energy Survey.
Stevanus K. Nugroho et al 2017 AJ 154 221
High-dispersion spectroscopy has revealed a TiO molecular signature in the day-side spectra of WASP-33b, the second hottest known hot Jupiter, implying the existence of a stratosphere in its atmosphere.
Sukanya Chakrabarti et al 2017 ApJL 850 L4
The outer H I disks of spiral galaxies contribute at least as much as dwarf galaxies do to the observed LIGO/Virgo detection rates of black-hole mergers, which may provide insights into formation channels of binary mergers.
