History and Habitability of the LP 890-9 Planetary System

Rory Barnes, Laura N. R. do Amaral, Jessica Birky +42

We present numerous aspects of the evolution of the LP 890-9 (SPECULOOS-2/TOI-4306) planetary system, focusing on the likelihood that planet c can support life. We find that the ho…

Quasi periodic whispers from a transient ULX in M\,101: signatures of a fast-spinning neutron star?

Ryan T. Urquhart, Roberto Soria, Rosanne Di Stefano +7

We have studied the unusual time variability of an ultraluminous X-ray source in M 101, 4XMM J140314.2541806 (henceforth, J1403), using Chandra and XMM-Newton data. Over the las…
