Overview of the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS)
Christopher S. Reynolds, Erin A. Kara, Richard F. Mushotzky +40
The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) is a Probe-class concept that will build on the legacy of the Chandra X-ray Observatory by providing low-background, arcsecond-resolutio…
BASS. XLIII: Optical, UV, and X-ray emission properties of unobscured Swift/BAT active galactic nuclei
Kriti K. Gupta, Claudio Ricci, Matthew J. Temple +19
We present one of the largest multiwavelength studies of simultaneous optical-to-X-ray spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of unobscured active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the local…
The Heavy Element Enrichment History of the Universe from Neutron Star Mergers with Habitable Worlds Observatory
Eric Burns, Jennifer Andrews, Robert Szabo +23
Understanding where elements were formed has been a key goal in astrophysics for nearly a century, with answers involving cosmology, stellar burning, and cosmic explosions. Since 1…
Resolved UV-Optical HST Imaging and Spectral Energy Distribution Modeling of Nearby BAT Active Galactic Nuclei
Connor Auge, Michael Koss, Kriti K. Gupta +17
We use high-resolution UV-to-optical imaging from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to construct spatially resolved spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for seven nearby ()…
GRB 180418A: A possibly-short GRB with a wide-angle outflow in a faint host galaxy
Alicia Rouco Escorial, Wen-fai Fong, Peter Veres +20
We present X-ray and multi-band optical observations of the afterglow and host galaxy of GRB 180418A, discovered by /BAT and /GBM. We present a reanalysis…
BurstCube: Concept, Performance, and Status
Jacob R. Smith, Michael S. Briggs, Alessandro Bruno +26
The first simultaneous detection of a short gamma-ray burst (SGRB) with a gravitational-wave (GW) signal ushered in a new era of multi-messenger astronomy. In order to increase the…
