2026-W39
Recent observations have yielded the first measurements of young exoplanet demographics. Close-in sub-Neptune occurrence rates appear to rise from young ($10-1…
Relativistic jets from AGN are expected to propagate through an inhomogeneous ISM, but the role of small-scale gas inhomogeneities in shaping their early evolu…
2026-W41
The $β$ Pictoris debris disk is a unique system where mid-infrared coronagraphic imaging with JWST/MIRI revealed a new spatially resolved substructure known as…
2026-W40
We present extensive photometric and spectroscopic observations of the normal type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) 2021pfs, which occurred in the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 5…
2026-W36
A UV-controlled polymer process fabricates meter-class optical surfaces in microgravity conditions with figure quality suitable for Earth observation, demonstr…
2026-W30
We present new multi-frequency VLBA observations of \object{J0011+3443} (TXS\,0008+344, $z=0.89$) at 2.3, 4.9, 8.5, and, for the first time, 23.6\,GHz. The sou…
We demonstrate onboard optical navigation using lunar landmarks and star trackers that maintains kilometer-level accuracy throughout cis-lunar transfer without…
High-performance optical systems, including space telescopes, require wavefront-sensing and correction capabilities to achieve resolution near the diffraction…
As the exploration of the Moon accelerates in the coming years, there is already an urgent need to standardise the Position, Navigation and Timing of spacecraf…
2026-W31
X-ray observatories introduce unwanted instrumental effects into photon count data that must be accurately accounted for. In particular, the spatially variant…
Recently, the Five-hundred-meter-Aperture-Spherical-radio-Telescope (FAST) Galactic Plane Pulsar Snapshot (GPPS) survey discovers an extraordinary binary neutr…
2026-W44
Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are recurrent soft X-ray flares from galactic nuclei, but their origin remains uncertain. The delayed ultraviolet (UV) counterp…
2026-W35
Distinguishing between faint extended X-ray sources is a fundamental yet challenging task in X-ray surveys. This paper presents a benchmark comparison of convo…
2026-W42
GRB 220706A exhibits X-ray flaring activity extending to ~51 days after the trigger, along with a luminous optical thermal component emerging on a timescale of…
NASA's Kepler mission found more systems with one transiting planet (``singles'') than expected from those with several (``multis''). This excess was first tak…
2026-W43
High-resolution cross-correlation spectroscopy (HRCCS) is a powerful technique for detecting molecules whose individual spectral lines are too weak to be ident…
2026-W37
We present the first spectral analysis from the JWST Cycle 3 GO Program #6362, the Dyn-Atmo Survey of dynamical-atmospheric benchmarks, characterizing the atmo…
2026-W38
Autonomous radio stations require a first-stage trigger that rejects measured background while preserving weak extensive-air-shower pulses under tight hardware…
Understanding radio source morphologies and their classification remains challenging. We previously developed a deep clustering method based on self-supervised…
WASP-12b's orbit is decaying, for unknown reasons. The planet's period is shrinking more rapidly than can be attributed to equilibrium tides or dynamical tides…
Spectro-polarimetry of HAbitable Planet Earth (SHAPE) is an experimental instrument onboard the Propulsion Module (Orbiter) of the Chandrayaan-3 mission, desig…
2026-W34
Venus and Mars are unique laboratories for understanding the evolution and diversity of terrestrial planets. Despite their broadly similar rocky compositions,…
Gravitational wave observatories are large scale laser interferometers which are held on resonance to facilitate the detection of gravitational waves. Achievin…
Variability is a crucial probe of active galactic nuclei (AGN) disks, but the impact of the structure and internal physics of the disk on this variability is p…
