Correlating Changes in Spot Filling Factors with Stellar Rotation: The Case of LkCa 4

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present a multi-epoch spectroscopic study of LkCa 4, a heavily spotted non-accreting T Tauri star. Using SpeX at NASA’s Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF), 12 spectra were collected over five consecutive nights, spanning ≈1.5 stellar rotations.

Exploring the Extremes: Characterizing a New Population of Old and Cold Brown Dwarfs

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Mapping out the populations of thick disk and halo brown dwarfs is important for understanding the metallicity dependence of low-temperature atmospheres and the substellar mass function.

Second-Order Gauge-Invariant Cosmological Perturbation Theory: Current Status

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, 2010
The current status of the recent developments of the second-order gauge-invariant cosmological perturbation theory is reviewed. To show the essence of this perturbation theory, we concentrate only on the universe filled with a single scalar field ...

Unveiling the nature of SN 2022jli: The first double-peaked stripped-envelope supernova showing periodic undulations and dust emission at late times

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
We present optical and infrared observations from maximum light until around +800 days of supernova (SN) 2022jli, a peculiar stripped-envelope (SE) SN showing two maxima, each one with a peak luminosity of about 3 × 1042 erg s−1, separated by 50 days ...

New Water Oxidation Mechanism in Photosystem II Resolves Major Experimental Controversies

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
In Photosystem II Oxygen Evolving Complex, we discovered the O3‐O6 peroxide at lower energy. Assignment of the O3 ligated by histidine (His337) as a slow exchanging substrate and its coupling with O6 give the O─O bond formation mechanism most consistent with all currently available experimental data. Proposal shows how protein environment can steer the

Cooperative polariton dynamics in feedback-coupled cavities

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Rabi oscillations of magnons typically do not have few photon control of single spin quantum systems. Here, the authors use a feedback cavity architecture to increase magnon-photon cooperativity, enabling increased control of light-matter interactions in

The SPHEREx Target List of Ice Sources (SPLICES)

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
One of the primary objectives of the SPHEREx mission is to understand the origin of molecules such as H _2 O, CO _2 , and other volatile compounds at the early stages of planetary system formation.

Tailoring Photochromism Beyond Human Eye Visibility: On/Off Switchable NIR Absorption in an Aluminosilicate

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A new photochromic material was developed. Its on/off‐switchable absorption band is situated completely outside the human eye's visibility, in the near‐infrared (NIR) region, a feature never reported before. The photochromism mechanism in this aluminosilicate is elucidated by combining experimental as well as computational results, and the material's ...

DECam Multimessenger Astrophysics Pipeline. I. From Raw Data to Single-exposure Candidates

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We introduce a pipeline that performs rapid image subtraction and source selection to detect transients, with a focus on identifying gravitational-wave optical counterparts using the Dark Energy Camera (DECam). In this work, we present the pipeline steps

On-board Data Processing to Lower Bandwidth Requirements on an Infrared Astronomy Satellite: Case of Herschel-PACS Camera

open access: yesEURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing, 2005
This paper presents a new data compression concept, “on-board processing,” for infrared astronomy, where space observatories have limited processing resources.
